This "'Spring Warm Blossom' Transnational New Year Literary and Art Gala", Yunnan elements are indispensable.

Yunnan is the province with the largest variety of ethnic groups in China, with 26 ethnic groups such as Han, Dai, Hani, Bai, Zhuang and Miao, and the ethnic culture is rich and diverse, and the evening party fully demonstrates this characteristic. The Hani ethnic dance "Oriental Tap", the Tibetan female singer solo "Abba", the Yi dance "Happy New Year", and the Dai dance skewer "Phoenix Flying Sky" are all programs with great Yunnan ethnic elements.

Mutual learning among civilizations

The evening will take a large number of video videos showing the cultural connection between Chinese Spring Festival culture, ethnic culture and South Asian and Southeast Asian countries as the main narrative line, take the outstanding literary and artistic performance works in Yunnan Province and some South Asian and Southeast Asian countries as the main content, take the warm romance of "Spring Warm Blossoms" as the theme and style, and use the six chapters of "Spring Qi", "Spring Ploughing", "Spring Feast", "Spring Joy", "Chunhua" and "Chunhui" to highlight the concept of affinity, sincerity, benefit and tolerance, and show the beautiful vision of being kind to neighbors, taking neighbors as companions, inclusiveness and mutual learning among civilizations.

How to highlight the concept of sincerity and benefit? The evening programs of the Tea Horse Ancient Road "Playing Songs" skewers, the video "Southern Silk Road" and the video "New Silk Road" start from the exchanges between ancient China and South and Southeast Asia, and extend to today's "Belt and Road" initiative to make this huge region with a population of about 3.7 billion people once again closely linked.

How to talk about inclusiveness and mutual learning among civilizations? The party invited the "Puman Band" from Yunnan to bring the song "Who is the Mountain Horse Gang" that combines Yunnan ethnic music and reggae music.

Reggae music comes from North America and blends elements of American rhythm and blues with elements of Latin music. The lead singer of the "Puman Band" said that the Yunnan national music style is very suitable for the beat of reggae music. "Combining the original ecology of Yunnan national music with the empty inspiration of reggae music can create a spatial illusion that makes people feel as if they are in the middle of a mountain." In recent years, Yunnan national music has gradually begun to collide with reggae music to create sparks.

For thousands of years, multi-ethnic groups have lived harmoniously in the happy land of Yunnan, people are kind to their neighbors, companions with neighbors, inclusive, showing amazing civilization tolerance and integration, Yunnan national music itself inherits this trait. With the help of the performance opportunity of this evening, they hope that the integration and collision of Yunnan national music and reggae music can bring enlightenment to the mutual learning of civilizations in the world.

The feast is just around the corner

Let's look forward to it
