This is the first time in my life that I have spent the Spring Festival alone. A plate of dumplings, a pair of white wine, is all I Chinese New Year's EveChinese New Year's Eve rice. Because of this, I also paid more attention to and looked forward to the spiritual feast of the Spring Festival Gala of the Central Radio and Television Corporation.
If you are an old friend who has been Chinese New Year's Eve and night for forty years, then, this year's Spring Festival Gala, you did not disappoint me. If you are the most ritualistic "human design" of Chinese culture on the world stage, then, in my eyes, you have truly matured and entered the "forty not confused" life situation. Washed away the lead, you come out dignified and elegant, warm and romantic, restrained atmosphere, calm and confident.
Most importantly, taking the most solemn festival of the Chinese nation as the stage, what you are showing is the spiritual core of this nation's pursuit of people-oriented and the unity of heaven and man. A sentence of accurate and in place of the host words, a thousand hammers and a thousand hammers of the program, a period of timely special design, from the humanities, people, humanities, humanities, humanities four levels, let people appreciate the chinese civilization of the profound, appreciate the Chinese aesthetics of the color of the colorful.
Ethical
Having money and no money, going home for the New Year, and renewing the relationship between people and humanity is the most core content of the Spring Festival. Therefore, in the Spring Festival Gala, the relationship between human beings is the highlight, and the sketch is undoubtedly the shortest and most dramatic form of human relationship.
At the beginning of the show, after a song of "Sense of the Times", the sketch "Father and Son" opened the interpretation of the relationship between father and son in the theme of humanity. Since then, the theme of humanity has expanded to the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law and the relationship of dusk love in "Joy on The Joy", the relationship between classmates and friends in "Not Yet Returned", the relationship between husband and wife and colleagues in "The Story of the Rest Area", the business relationship in "Red Packet", and the broader relationship between people in the song "Friends" of Wen Na Band in the song Skewer.
In these programs, the common sense of human ethics is often said to be new, and it also reflects the nationality and the sense of the times everywhere. The connotation of the word "people" supports each other with a skim and a pinch, "people have to help each other in order to go further" makes people understand positively, "If you have money and don't pay back people, are you still a bit human?!" The negative rebuke is thought-provoking.
Lingering and romantic love is the eternal theme of human relations, and the song is undoubtedly the most expressive. From Han Hong's "So Many People in This World" to Liu Huan's "You Are the Gift of My Life", from "True Love Dances" to "Love Together", a song of love with different styles, from "Green Plum Bamboo Horse" singing to "White Head to Old, Tianya I Still Help You", the words are gripping, and the sound is full of breath.
people
The home is a small country, and the country is a million. The individuals in the ever-expanding pattern of human ethics and differences are condensed into groups in the homogeneous Chinese cultural and political traditions of the home country, which is the great Chinese people.
The people are the "workers and peasants" and "courier brothers" in the host words and every "infinite struggle of you"; they are the industrious and brave sons and daughters of all ethnic groups in the original ecological scene performance "Song of the Land" and the Lahu peasants who "put up a spring" on the road from poverty alleviation to common prosperity; it is in "Our Time" that "on the stage of the world" stands up and "runs together", "together wonderfully", and "creates the future together"; it is also the "We" who indulge in singing "The Yellow River yangtze River" together on the Spring Festival Gala stage. Young singers from all sides of the Straits and four places and all the cast members of "Unforgettable Tonight".
Of course, the people are still the foodies and diners who live in full swing in the hot and fiery "Hotpot Sonata" and enjoy the food vigorously, the rock-like phalanx gathered at the "July 1st" commemorative meeting in Tiananmen Square at a certain moment in the program, and the young Communist Youth League members and Young Pioneers in the front row of the phalanx.
The people's voice is loud, and the people's elephant is invisible. They are everywhere, they are everywhere.
The most outstanding individuals among them are undoubtedly those examples from all over the motherland in front of the stage - the recipients of the "July 1st" Medal, the models of the times, the most beautiful figures, and the representatives of the national moral models. In the special design session of the evening, when they were introduced one by one, when they stood up to pay homage to the people of the whole country, the defining word of the republic, "people", was endowed with a real, vivid and noble connotation that was both ordinary and great, concrete and abstract.
humanities
The great people of the ancient Chinese land, in the process of pursuing sustainable development, have created a brilliant material and spiritual culture. The accumulation of these cultures in the long river of history constitutes the profound humanistic heritage of the Chinese nation, and Chinese civilization has become the only continuous civilization in human history. This is the foundation of the Chinese nation's survival in the turmoil of world culture, and it is also an inexhaustible spiritual treasure house for the Spring Festival Gala.
In the past 40 years, you are the Spring Festival Gala with the strongest historical self-confidence and the deepest humanistic heritage; you are a Spring Festival Gala with great innovation in the form of expression and excellent stage effects; you are a Spring Festival Gala that truly embodies the more national and the more the world.
The four operas of Beijing, Yu, Yue and Huang appeared together, and the four generations of old, middle, young and young performed "Endless Pear Garden Love" on the same stage was exquisite and exquisite, which was expected. The dance poetry drama "Only This Green" is stunning and shocking, and has become the most brilliant pearl of the Spring Festival Gala, and naturally I don't need to spend more ink. The on-site release ceremony of Sanxingdui archaeological achievements and the creative dance "Golden Face" show the pluralistic integration of Chinese civilization and the magnificent romance of ancient Shu culture. Presented on the tallest towers in Shanghai, Guangzhou and Chongqing, the landscape Tai Chi "Moving Clouds and Flowing Water" composes a beautiful duet of tradition and modernity in a freehand way. The cross-talk "Happy Dialect" brought me back to the "Jinyun Three Townships" in the mountains of southwest Zhejiang that "spoke in 70 or 80 cavities", and I couldn't help but think about the countless "ancient orthographies" that remained in my dialect.
What surprised me even more was that after the midnight hour, in the creative music and dance poetry painting "Remembering Jiangnan", Lu You and Su Shi leisurely sang in the Tang Style song rhyme, and in the poetry and painting Jiangnan depicted in the "Fuchun Mountain Jutu", they flocked to Jiangnan!
This is a splendid gushing of 5,000 years of civilization accumulation in the heavens, places, and people; this is a concentrated display of the achievements of the ideological and cultural field since the "Eighteenth National Congress"; this is the brilliant dedication of the literary and art circles in the digital age to unite their efforts to reshape the charm of traditional culture and enable them to achieve creative transformation and innovative development; this is the logical development of the transformation of television culture marked by the "Chinese Poetry Conference" and the "cultural out of the circle" of Henan Satellite TV. Perhaps, this is still from the B station to the short video to the rural Spring Festival Gala and other grassroots culture of the preparation, nourishment and "backward" ingenuity feedback and high-profile improvement.
mankind
Culture is humanization, and the premise of humanization is nature. Some philosophers have pointed out that the reflections of different civilizations on human civilization in the "axial era" of the initial creation of human civilization, that is, at the "intersection of civilization and nature", all include the dimension of returning to nature. It is just that the nature here is not an abstract nature, but a nature that is differentiated in the orientation of a particular civilization.
In the "Axial Age", Chinese civilization gave rise to the Taoist idea of the unity of heaven and man as the main tone of the integral nature of life. This theme of natural life is played in this multi-voice variation throughout the Spring Festival Gala, and at the level of spiritual essence, the meaning of the program is raised to the height of the relationship between human beings and nature as a whole.
The "King of the Hundred Beasts" tiger in nature leads the way, and in the Spring Festival Gala, he closely grasped the topic with the martial arts short drama "Milk Tiger Howling Spring". The elephants that "moved north to return to the south" in the land of Yunnan became the best material for the Spring Festival Gala to show the concept of harmonious coexistence between man and nature. The theme of "Vientiane Rejuvenation" is based on green water and green mountains, which run through different forms of expression.
From "100,000 Miles of Spring Wind" to "100,000 Good News" to the "Tree of Life" in "Golden Face", from the integration of human beings with nature in production and life in "Song of the Land" and "Flowing Water in the Clouds", to the interpretation of the Chinese classic crossing time and space with nature as the object of representation in "Only This Green" and "Remembrance of Jiangnan", there has never been a Spring Festival Gala, and there are so many profound embodiments and understandings of the relationship between humans and nature.
Of course, humanity, people, humanities, and humanity are only four categories of interpreting the Spring Festival Gala. In specific programs, these four levels are both intertwined and focused.
In the final link of "Dream of stars", when the daughter of Wang Yaping, a female astronaut on a business trip in space, wearing a Chinese red dress, opened her arms in the middle of the stage and shouted to the sky, "Mom, bring me a star back", this childish and crisp child's voice penetrated these four dimensions in specific time and space, thus achieving the effect of showing the greatest cause of human exploration of the sea of stars from the smallest incision.
For many years, we have criticized you for not being strong enough, we have criticized you for being underrepresented, and we have commented that you are too high-profile in your propaganda.
Indeed, you can never be perfect.
However, as a "mass lover" who constantly re-dresses yourself, you have found your own cultural self-confidence and cultural self-awareness in the years of confusion, and repositioned your role. You have achieved a magnificent turnaround in your unremitting efforts to show the beauty of Chinese history, the beauty of mountains and rivers, the beauty of culture, and the image of a credible, lovely and respectable China at home and abroad.
Perhaps, the professional and amateur critics you grew up with should have changed their cognitive frameworks long ago? Today, when "a thousand sails pass by the side of the sinking boat, and a thousand wooden springs in front of the sick tree", continue to use the standards of the 1980s when socially critical media content is scarce, to criticize today's cross-talk sketches for avoiding the important and light in attacking current political and social issues.
I was also a critical critic of the Spring Festival Gala. However, this year, the Spring Festival Gala of forty years, I want to greet you! (Zhao Yuezhi)
