China TV Drama Flying Apsaras Awards (Chinese: 中国电视剧飞天奖; pinyin: Zhōngguó Diànshìjù Feī Tiān Jiǎng), also known as Flying Apsaras Awards[1] or simply Feitian Awards, is a biennial awards ceremony awarding excellent achievement in Chinese television. Named after the Gandhanra aka Flying Apsaras, the award stature shape is sourced from the ancient painting of Flying Apsaras in Mogao Caves, Dunhuang. The Feitian Awards were first held in 1981, and presented by the Ministry of Culture of the People's Republic of China, however it was soon taken over by the government ministries SARFT and the Motion Picture and Arts Committee of China (中国电视艺术委员会). It is the longest running television award ceremony in China.[2]

The ceremony is the highest government honor in the television industry. Feitian Awards, along with the Golden Eagle Awards, are the most prestigious awards given. Formerly an annual event, the Feitian and Golden Eagle Awards have taken place on alternate years since 2005, with the Feitian taking place on odd years.[3]
