民间歌剧《柳柳州》以唐代文学家柳宗元及其与广西壮族的渊源为背景，于 4 月 11 日在北京中央歌剧院首演。 Folk opera Liu Liuzhou, based on Tang Dynasty writer Liu Zongyuan and his connection to Guangxi Zhuang, premiered on April 11 at China National Opera House, Beijing. 2018年，剧作家常建军在参观柳宗元庙时，得到一位戏剧专家的建议，创作了一部关于柳宗元的戏剧，由此萌生了创作唐诗与广西民歌对话的灵感。 In 2018, playwright Chang Jianjun drew inspiration to create a dialogue between Tang poetry and Guangxi folk songs after a suggestion to write about Liu Zongyuan from a theater expert during a visit to his memorial temple.
