Puting Painting Village, which is adjacent to the urban area of Jingyan, is a natural village planned and built by Jingyan County taking the implementation of the rural revitalization strategy as an opportunity. It is positioned as a creation base for Jingyan farmers' paintings, an exhibition area for Jingyan farming culture, and an urban leisure expansion area. To enrich the leisure and entertainment experience of the masses, a new rural stage in the village has been completed and is about to be put into use.

On April 2nd, in Puting Painting Village, a building named "Rural Theater" near the water attracted particular attention. The building is arc - shaped as a whole. The theater adopts an open - style design, and its double - layer space includes a stage, stepped auditoriums, and viewing terraces. On both sides of the theater, farmers' paintings and farming - culture sculptures are placed to create a vibrant space that meets the cultural and entertainment needs of the masses.

Tu Hua, the project leader of the construction side, introduced: "The Rural Theater in Puting Painting Village is built with a steel - structure. The total land area is 1,200 square meters, and the building area is 224 square meters. It combines the farming - culture scenes in local farmers' paintings and also sets up landscape footpaths, landscape greenery, water - side platforms, etc., providing a recreational place for surrounding residents and tourists to relax and take photos, and enriching the daily lives of the people."

It is understood that the relevant buildings and facilities of the Rural Theater have been completed and are awaiting inspection and acceptance. It is expected to be put into use in May this year. This art theater growing in the fields, combined with wetland and rural landscapes, through the innovative expression of "culture + ecology", will inject fresh impetus into rural revitalization and further improve the quality of life of the masses.

Wang Hongjie, a local villager, said: "After the Rural Theater is completed, it's great for us common people. There will be a place for dancing and having fun. After the plank road is built, people can take walks and play." (Text/Photos: Bao Song)
