Gathering the Source of Civilization Convergence Special exhibition of national treasures to describe the past and present lives has triggered netizens' expectations
Stretching from east to west for thousands of miles, up and down for five thousand years. Civilization is imperceptible, accumulated, gradually formed and developed in the long river of history. Civilization is like water, moisturizing things are silent. As an exhibition showing Chinese civilization, the units of this special exhibition are also determined by water, one is "source", the second is "flow", and the third is "sink". In the process of guiding the curation and syllabus writing, in view of the themes of each unit, Jin Ruiguo, deputy director of the Department of Museums and Social Cultural Relics of the State Administration of Cultural Heritage, proposed the "gold standard" for creating fine products: focusing on the theme of "Why China" and telling Chinese stories everywhere in time and space.
In the program, national treasures such as the Chinese national Shang Dynasty bronze masterpiece, the Seven Huang Group Jade Pendant, which embodies the Ritual System of the Western Zhou Dynasty, the Du Hu Fu that witnessed the evolution of the military system in the Warring States Period, and the oracle bone piece that carries the source of Chinese characters, show the "source of Chinese civilization" of pluralism and integration from different angles such as politics, military, culture, and commerce; and the Niuhu Bronze Case, which represents the flower-tree-like golden step shake of the national integration, and the Niuhu Bronze Case, which shows the philosophical thinking of the Dian people on the two ultimate propositions of life and death. National treasures such as the Wei Jinyi envoy portrait bricks, which symbolize important symbols of ancient Chinese communication civilization, and Persian peacock blue glazed pottery vases from ancient Persia, depict the endless "flow of Chinese civilization"; the rubbings of the Yan family temple stele that record the bones of the Yan family, the "Four Medical Classics" known as the Encyclopedia of Tibetan Medicine, and the Shang Zhou Shi Offerings, which bear witness to the thousands of years of Taoist inheritance of the Chinese nation, allow the audience to see the inclusive "Convergence of Chinese Civilization". Dozens of national treasure-level cultural relics like a relay to lead the audience to feel the depth and breadth of Chinese civilization, the unprecedented top lineup is even more so that netizens have shouted: "Through the wonderful presentation of the program, let me feel that this special exhibition is not a problem of not watching, but a problem of going to see several times." ”
From 1921 to 2021, Archaeologists in China passed on the torch, and through the excavation and exploration of cultural sites, they sorted out the development of the entire Chinese nation. From the Yangshao site, the first officially named cultural system in China's Neolithic era, to the Longshan cultural site that excavated "the most exquisite production of the earth's civilization four thousand years ago" to the Qin Shi Huang Mausoleum area that created the unification of China... At the scene, the curators of the thirty participating museums collected soil from archaeological sites spanning thousands of miles and thousands of years, and gathered the "thick earth cubes" of different colors but carrying the same civilization into the "Why China" installation work, which made netizens sigh: "Deeply feel the thickness of Chinese civilization, this installation is simply the history of materialized Chinese civilization!" ”
Show the spirit of China, a variety of forms to help literary and artistic innovation revitalize the culture and expo
Huanghuang China, majestic and majestic, carries the essence of civilization, national integrity and historical charm that has flowed for thousands of years. The national treasures and cultural relics that accompany the history of civilization to the present day are like pearls dotted among them, shining the most brilliant light of each era. In order to perfectly present the spirit contained in the national treasure, the "National Treasure Exhibition and Performance Season" invites literary and artistic workers from all walks of life to "unveil the leader", and makes a bold attempt to present cultural relics across the art through dance dramas, musicals, song singing, instrumental performances and other diversified literary and artistic forms. In terms of content, it is not just a simple restoration of the national treasure, but also uses the current concept and thinking to deconstruct the connotation and spirit behind the national treasure.
In the program, China Oriental Performing Arts Group compiled Wang Ximeng's "A Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains" volume into a dance poetry drama "Only This Green", depicting the color and meaning of the national treasure with the poetic and lyrical nature of dance art: the Chinese artistic gymnastics team drew inspiration from the mural of the national treasure "Mogao Grottoes Cave 220", and integrated Dunhuang elements into the artistic gymnastics to create and discharge the work "Flying Heavenly Music Dance"; the right of the pioneer electronic band to reshape the statue will represent the voice of human progress and civilization, the voice of astronomer Nan Rendong, etc. and the "Heavenly Eye" Fast's collection of pulsar sound waves combined to create a unique pioneering experimental musical work "Sky Eye"... The creative combination of various "brain holes" has amazed many netizens: "I never thought that I could feel and know the national treasure in this way, it is amazing." ”
In order to adjust the creative performance effect to the best, "National Treasure Exhibition Season" also adopts the "AI +VR naked-eye 3D" shooting technology, and the stage design continues the basic art concept of the first three seasons of "National Treasure" - "Seeing the World Between The Square Inches", creatively figuratively transforming the "Square Inch" into a national treasure box with visual and lighting, extending a variety of spaces in line with the temperament of the national treasure in the "box", and displaying a variety of wonderful literary and artistic works in the space, allowing the actors to break through the traditional stage space to present the form. Bring the audience a new visual experience.
The country and mountains have left a trace of victory, and my generation has returned to the landing. In this season's program, each national treasure creator and performer practices the teachings of his ancestors, does his best to open up the life of the times, and uses modern technology to display the talents of his ancestors, bringing unique knowledge sharing and literary and artistic works to the national audience. The smooth holding of this special exhibition is also inseparable from the full support of the State Administration of Cultural Heritage and related museums. Looking forward to the fourth season of "National Treasure" next year to continue to "make the national treasure come alive", which can bring more excitement and surprises to the audience!
