"Dance poetry drama" is a comprehensive stage presentation that uses dance as a vocabulary and poetic expression to create a realm of "silence is better than sound".
The dance poetry drama "Only This Green" cuts into and traces back to the excellent traditional Chinese culture from the perspective of the present person, and the audience will follow an exhibition volume person, following the outline of the chapter of "exhibition volume, asking the seal, singing silk, searching for stones, learning brush, quenching ink, and entering the painting", wandering in the legendary traditional Chinese aesthetics.
Pu Guang of the Yuan Dynasty praised this map in the inscription of the "Thousand Mile River and Mountain Map": "You can walk alone for a thousand years, and the lonely moon ear of the stars." "Wang Ximeng's painting "A Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains", all the painting materials are from the Northern Song court, the high-quality materials given by the emperor provide an important material basis for the birth of paintings, and are also the condensation of the wisdom of traditional Chinese craftsmanship - in the cultural climate of the Northern Song Dynasty, the processes of weaving silk, pen making, ink making and so on have reached a peak, and the stone blue and stone green used in coloring are also mineral pigments with extremely high cost cost. When the results of these top craftsmanship were gathered on the paintings of the eighteen-year-old young painter, Wang Ximeng expanded the possibilities of green and green color with exquisite techniques, and pushed the green landscape painting to the peak of extreme development.

This is a connection between literature and art, and it is also a mutual learning between art and media. Ye Zhenzhen, secretary of the party committee, chairman and president of the People's Network Co., Ltd., said that "A Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains" is the work of Wang Ximeng when he was 18 years old, and such a story will surely impress today's young generation.
