What is this show?
"Ten Thousand Miles to Ride Alone" is a world heritage interactive documentary variety show exclusively titled by Drunkard Liquor and produced and broadcast by Zhejiang Satellite TV.
It has now aired to the second season, and the first season of the show has been widely acclaimed after broadcasting, with a Douban rating of 8.1, as a variety show, the rating is quite high.
The second season also continues to follow the "walking heart" model of the first season, with Shan Jixiang, the director of the Palace Museum, as the initiator, and Zhou Yun (variety show debut), Xiao Yang and Niu Junfeng and other powerful actors to form the "Wanli Youth League" (hereinafter referred to as the Youth League).
Through the "down-to-earth" walking experience, we will exchange and discuss with local heritage experts and famous scholars in the industry, uncover the stories behind these World Heritage Sites, and show the audience the long history and civilization of our country.
It truly explains what it is: immortal civilization is passed on from generation to generation, and the thousand-year-old context is endless.
Why watch "Miles Alone"?
China has been around for 5,000 years and has a long history of precipitation, making our country one of the countries with the most complete categories of World Heritage sites in the world, and also the country with the largest number of natural heritage sites in the world.
Sitting on such a large number of cultural treasures, there are very few people in the younger generation who really understand these civilizations and cultures.
All kinds of song and dance, music and art variety shows on the screen are prevalent, and the team of "star-chasing people" who respond to their idols, hit the list, and do data is getting larger and larger, and we urgently need a cultural science program to calm people's minds and seriously understand what should really be remembered, cherished, and protected in the vast river of history, and what can we do?
So, "Ten Thousand Miles To Ride Alone" came.
Morphological "rejuvenation"
From the perspective of program form, "Ten Thousand Miles of Single Riding" emphasizes the knowledge and interest of the program with cultural + demystifying + interaction + documentary and other techniques, transforming the inner cultural responsibility into a relaxed and lively external form, so that we in front of the screen follow several guests to absorb knowledge and nutrition while walking, and truly achieve "cultural publicity" and "variety effect" go hand in hand.
The show boldly abandons the format of recording in a fixed studio and focuses on the colorful heritage site: a close-up, multi-angle, immersive presentation of the heritage site.
In addition, the program also uses advanced technical means such as drone shooting and 3D animation scene reproduction to make the shape and state of the World Heritage Site more three-dimensional and all-round displayed in front of the audience, so that the audience can better understand the World Heritage at a glance.
There are no deliberately arranged rules and tasks in the program, and every picture is a real and realistic presentation, which shows the good intentions of the creative team.
A total of 12 episodes of the season, each episode visits a world heritage site, and each unknown exploration brings us a new visual feast.
Approach the World Heritage Site
In the first season of the program, the "Youth League" took us to visit the ruins of Liangzhu Ancient City, the gulangyu Historical International Community, the Dengfeng "Heaven and Earth" historical building complex, the classical gardens of Suzhou, the ancient villages of southern Anhui in China - Xidi, Hongcun, Toast Ruins, Fujian Tulou and so on, a total of 12 world heritage sites.
Among them, this episode of the Liangzhu Ancient City Ruins is very impressive.
There are Yaoshan altars, magnificent royal cities, huge water conservancy projects, etc., which are really breathtaking. The Yaoshan ruins are the earliest sacrificial sites 5,000 years ago, and are the altars of the Liangzhu people to worship heaven and earth, with the function of sacrificing gods and ancestors.
Behind this site is the continuous efforts of four generations of archaeologists, from the first generation of Liangzhu archaeologists to the fourth generation of archaeologists with young people as the main force, how much effort and sweat have been paid by this generation, and the archaeological relay that lasted for 83 years is moving. Their love of archaeology, their love of national civilization is awe-inspiring.
The second season has aired two episodes so far, and the guests have led everyone to visit Luoyang, the ancient capital of the 13th Dynasty, and Jingdezhen, the thousand-year-old porcelain capital.
In the first episode of the second season, several guests chose to meet in a breakfast restaurant and began the season's visit in the thick smoke of the city.
This bowl of soup is not to be underestimated, it is also a century-old shop, the intangible cultural heritage of Luoyang, steaming, it is really hungry to watch!
After eating and drinking enough, the "Youth Regiment" soldiers divided into two groups, one team visited the ruins of the Sui and Tang capitals, and the other team visited the ruins of the Han and Wei capitals. The narrator Zhang Jin introduced the important position of Ying Tianmen in history, and Empress Wu Zetian ascended the throne here as emperor to welcome all the nations to the dynasty!
Walking into the Yingtian Gate, this city gate is very magnificent, comparable to four times the noon gate of the Forbidden City. The docent then introduced the characteristics of Tang Dynasty architecture in the history of ancient Chinese architecture, one word is big, and two words are strong.
Sure enough, with the display of the lens, the scenery reflects the grandeur of the architecture of the Sui and Tang dynasties everywhere.
The other group came to the site of Luoyang City of Han Wei, which was founded in the early years of the Western Zhou Dynasty, has a history of more than 600 years of capital construction, and was the capital of many dynasties from the Eastern Zhou to the Northern Wei Dynasty.
After several rises and demises, it was revived in the era of Emperor Xiaowen of northern Wei, and with the grand scenery of Luoyang, it became the eastern starting point of the Silk Road. After the war, only the ruins of the broken walls and the barren grass were desolate.
Professor Wang Guangyao, a researcher at the Palace Museum, and others traced the history with the guests here. Dean Shan introduced the location of the gates, towers and royal roads of the ancient capital, which was very exquisite, and the origin of this kind of architecture was here- the rise of Luoyang City in Han Wei.
Several guests also analyzed and discussed the protection of large-scale ruins in front of the bird's-eye view sand table in Luoyang City, Sui and Tang Dynasties, whether to restore or remain unchanged? Let her return to her heyday or let her die slowly with dignity? Later, Dean Shan introduced a way that our country is currently following - not to change the original state of cultural relics, and to preserve historical information as much as possible. Maintenance protection is the mainstay, if there is indeed a need to repair, the damaged part of the repair.
After that, under the guidance of the non-hereditary heirs of Tang Guozi, the Youth League personally made a Dessert of the Tang Dynasty - Peony Flower Bud Tang Guozi.
The Tang Dynasty was a period of national prosperity and strength in history, the people were very particular about food, and several guests felt the exquisite life that had been passed down for thousands of years in their hands.
The splendid culture created by our ancestors, the crystallization of their industriousness and wisdom, cannot be discarded. For example, such exquisite craftsmanship as Tang Guozi is indeed very valuable and needs to be passed on from generation to generation.
Finally, the youth group came to the Luoyang Museum and watched a costume restoration show that traveled through time in the museum.
The straight-sleeved robes of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, the skirt robes of the Western Han Dynasty, the around-the-neck robes of the late Western Han Dynasty to the early Eastern Han Dynasty, the women of the Southern and Northern Dynasties period wore upturned shoes and wore wide-sleeved skirts; men wore flat scarves and dressed in brocade wide-sleeved skirts, showing people's pursuit of beautiful bones and clear images and the flowing beauty of fairy winds.
The variety of attire is dazzling, reflecting people's understanding and pursuit of beauty at that time, and it is still pleasing to the eye to judge appreciation with the current eyes. The unique style of each dynasty really makes people want to come to a real time and space travel, to appreciate different prosperous weather.
The second program takes us to Jingdezhen, the thousand-year-old porcelain capital. The exquisite magnificence of porcelain has attracted the attention of the whole world, and has historically been sought after as a symbol of "luxury" and aristocratic status.
The soul of the porcelain capital, the soul of Jingdezhen industry, and the unchanging soul of the thousand-year kiln fire will all be presented to us one by one in this program.
epilogue
"Ten Thousand Miles of Single Riding" is undoubted in terms of cultural connotation and professionalism of popular science, edutainment, travel and study, and is indeed a good work that can be thought-provoking.
However, as a variety show, there will definitely be different voices of criticism, which is a good thing, and we should also face these problems with a correct attitude. Some netizens commented: The star guests will be a little out of place in the show, about homework is not done.
Some people say that the editing and soundtrack are almost on fire, and some netizens have seen the comment screen is very beautiful but not impressed, not focused enough.
In fact, these are more prominent problems, I hope that the program team can also learn lessons, adopt the opinions of the public, strive for excellence, and continue to work hard to continue to do this program that integrates history, humanities and natural scenery.
