"The great river flows eastward, its waves washing away heroes..." Do you still remember that era of turmoil and the scramble among warlords? Perhaps you've dreamed several times of returning to that legendary time full of heroes and passion; maybe you even wish to become one of them—Guanyu, the embodiment of loyalty, Zhao Yun, the chivalrous hero, or Zhuge Liang, the near-supernaturally wise strategist—and immerse yourself in that vivid history, witnessing how strategists outwitted each other and how heroes expressed deep bonds. Perhaps you're also passionate about comic creation and eager to try your hand at themes related to the Three Kingdoms...
From September 1 to 30, the Guangyuan Municipal Bureau of Tourism is hosting a comic submission campaign titled "Listen to Guangyuan Stories, Experience the Martial World of the Three Kingdoms," providing a creative platform for talented comic enthusiasts. Participants can design Three Kingdoms characters and craft storylines in the form of micro-comics based on cultural themes, vividly "telling" the unique historical features of Guangyuan. After online voting by netizens, the top 12 entries will be compiled into an electronic picture book and promoted across the province and even nationwide through posters and print advertisements. Participants will also receive a mobile phone recharge card provided by the organizers.
The entry process is simple: log in to the homepage of Sina Weibo Comics, click on the "Listen to Guangyuan Stories, Experience the Martial World of the Three Kingdoms" image on the special topic page, enter the "Martial World of the Three Kingdoms" special section, click "Upload Your Work," and complete the upload according to the rules. Once uploaded, the work will be displayed at the bottom of the special topic page.
This campaign features a novel format. Comics, with their intuitive, fun, and vivid characteristics, can effectively engage participants. So far, comic submission campaigns in the form of online specials are relatively rare. This event synchronizes interactive platforms on both Sina Weibo and Tencent Weibo, mobilizing the power of internet users across online media, with participants spanning the entire internet. The process is more transparent, fair, and attention-grabbing.
As the northern gateway to Sichuan, Guangyuan boasts a long-standing Three Kingdoms culture and has long been known as the "Hometown of the Female Emperor," "Key Northern Town of Shu," "Gateway to Northern Sichuan," and "Golden Triangle of Bashu." In recent years, Guangyuan has continued to innovate, striving to offer visitors new experiences while enriching its tourism resources, highlighting key features to create the charm of an ecological Guangyuan and smart tourism. Not long ago, Guangyuan hosted an International Cultural Tourism Festival. Unlike other scenic areas, Guangyuan’s thrilling Bird Path plank walkways, the "Wisdom Tourism on the Fingertips of Jianmen Shudao," and the authentic cultural tourism featuring local folk customs left a deep impression on visitors.
