"Beautiful to the tears! The ultimate beauty of song dynasty aesthetics is revealed in the dance. ”

"I really responded to that sentence: I see how feminine Qingshan is, and I expect Qingshan to see me as I should be."

……

In the 2022 CCTV Spring Festival Gala, the dance poetry drama "Only This Green" inspired by the famous painting of the Northern Song Dynasty "A Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains" exploded out of the circle, inspiring the cultural self-confidence of netizens and exposing their heartfelt evaluations.

The dance poetry drama "Only This Green" integrates cutting-edge technologies such as XR and holographic scanning, and the dancers tell the classic legend of "A Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains" with dance phrases such as solo steps, waiting, and contemplation. Between pitches, freeze the green for thousands of years, tracing the roots of Chinese civilization.

In the passage of the women's group dance "Green and Green", a series of Zen and imaginative scenes and actions such as waiting, looking at the moon, and contemplation are displayed. Among them, the lead dancer is Meng Qingyang, a post-90s girl from Zhoukou, Henan.

"'Green green' is pure freehand, it is the kind of dignified, atmospheric and calm that has been quenched for thousands of years, and it is also a kind of precipitation that represents traditional Chinese culture." In this dance, everyone sees not only the femininity of women, but also a kind of grandeur. Meng Qingyang said.

What is the reason for the brilliance of "Only This Green" is out of the circle? Meng Qingyang once said that in our blood, there is a kind of self-confidence and dignity, which culture brings to you. Speaking about the harvest, she said: "Becoming energetic, your steps become calm and powerful, your perception expands, and your state of mind becomes more mature." ”

For the whole year of 2021, Meng Qingyang completely gave himself to "Only This Green". Last year, the national tour of "Only This Green" was in Zhengzhou, and the performance tickets were quickly sold out as soon as they were launched. After the performance of the 2022 CCTV Spring Festival Gala, in the early morning of February 1, she posted a picture on her Weibo and wrote: "This year I completely gave myself to 'green', and 'green' also gave me a lot of energy." ”
