Every year, the Spring Festival Gala will arouse great attention, and a striking and unique feature of this year's Spring Festival Gala is that it fully explores the charm of traditional culture, so that the tradition has been contemporary "interpreted" and vividly unfolded, so that people can feel the strong spring feeling in the traditional "cultivation".
People can't help but sigh that the Spring Festival Gala of the Year of the Tiger is "out of the circle", and it has taste and connotation.
The most prominent representatives are two large-scale classic landscape masterpieces of ancient China, "A Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains" and "Fuchun Mountain Residence Map", which are transformed into two wonderful programs", "Only This Green" and "Remembering Jiangnan".
"Only This Green" presents Wang Ximeng's "A Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains" as a dance, and the humanized nature in the green has the meaning of oriental aesthetics. It is a picture, music and dance presented with music and dance, conveying the meaning of painting thousands of years ago, so that an inspiration from the art of painting triggers the creativity of dance, which is refreshing.
And "Remembering Jiangnan" turns Huang Gongwang's "Fuchun Mountain Jutu" into a poetry and music unfolding, and the comprehensive interpretation of various arts allows the beauty of Jiangnan to be discovered. The nostalgic poems about Jiangnan have gained a unique attraction in the chanting of historical figures, and the cultural accumulation in the scenery of the distant landscape and the Fuchun River has been fully developed. The landscape of Jiangnan acquires a spirituality. The beauty of human nature in the landscape, the poetry of people is from the nurture of the landscape, and Jiangnan is the symbol of poetry, so that people can get a traditional cultural taste and feeling at the spring festival.
Let the cultural relics not only be displayed in the museum, but appear around us, which is a special display of this Spring Festival Gala. In the Spring Festival Gala program, the significance and value of the bronze mask, an important archaeological discovery that has attracted attention in Sanxingdui, was vividly explained by introducing the national treasure, and then the dancers and the mask danced together in a dance way, so that the meaning of the mask was emotionally interpreted, which is a vivid art appreciation, but also a spiritual exploration that traces back to the roots, which is edutainment, but also fun to teach. On the one hand, it is about the past and the present, and on the other hand, it is the display of art, which has enriched people's spiritual world and allowed people to get more knowledge. "Spring" is to let people feel the charm of culture and the charm of the spirit, let the human body experience the beauty and historical connotation, so as to obtain a kind of sublimation.
The "revitalization" of art classics in the Spring Festival Gala allows people to get the enjoyment of beauty and the cultivation of classical oriental art, but also to obtain a deep sense of wisdom and imagination from China, which can make people get close to the beauty of art from the heart and get spiritual sublimation. This shows that at such an important moment as the Spring Festival Gala, it is not only feasible to open the gap between traditional culture and the public in the form of TV variety shows, but also has its strong vitality. The rich cultural resources of Chinese culture can be said to be the indispensable "source of living water" of mass culture, and the creative transformation and innovative development of traditional culture also require the effective dissemination of mass culture, which is the key path for the popularization and activation of traditional culture. Tradition is not only in museums and ancient books, but also in people's hearts, nourished and infiltrated, and this requires new ways to make tradition come alive. At the same time, we must maintain a high degree of respect for traditional culture, try to avoid excessive exertion when activating and popularizing, avoid the popularization of traditional values and culture into vulgarity, try to make the presentation of traditional culture appear closer to its inner essence, and explore and highlight its inner true charm.
Tradition itself has many attractive and dynamic stories, culture has its own inherent attraction, and truly exploring the connotation of tradition and grasping the spirit of tradition is itself the power of attraction. Respect the laws of television programs and the usual viewing habits of the general public, let the laws of television art play a role in it, let the knowledge of traditional culture be activated, the value of traditional spirit be activated, and the taste of traditional life be activated. The hundred steels are turned into soft fingers, so that the public can enter without obstacles, so that the public understands that there is no difficulty, in the Spring Festival Gala such as covering thousands of households, this way of "revitalization" of traditional culture has also been welcomed by the public, but also shows the important significance of the combination of traditional culture and current cultural forms.
