旺苍端公戏表演。

　　旺苍端公戏，当地民间俗称“傩（nuó）戏”（一种古老的祭神跳鬼、驱瘟避疫、表现安庆的娱神舞蹈）或“庆坛”（旧时，人们常将住宅或庙宇里的一块石头、一截磉磴奉为神灵，有威望的人为坛神，逢年过节开展祭祀活动）。相传，由黄帝（中华民族的祖先，华夏的第一位古帝）宫廷巫傩祭祀（宫廷祈福祭祀）歌舞演变而成的傩戏，是上古先民驱鬼逐疫、酬神纳吉的民间传统戏剧。
　　Wangcang Duangong Opera, commonly known as “Nuo Opera” (“Nuo” is the oldest traditional Han dance for entertaining the gods. It serves the purposes of worshiping deities, imitating ghosts, preventing plagues, and ensuring peace and safety.) or “Qingtan Pageantry”(It is a form of belief in the Han ethnic group. In ancient times, people often revered a stone or a section of a stone pillar in their homes or temples as a deity. Well-known figures were worshiped as Tan gods, and sacrifices were offered to them during festivals.) among the locals. This traditional folk opera, created by ancient ancestors for expelling ghosts, preventing plagues, offering thanks to gods, and praying for good fortune, is said to have evolved from court Wunuo sacrificial (court blessing and sacrificial) performances during the reign of the Yellow Emperor (the ancestor of the Chinese nation and the first ancient emperor in China).
