As soon as the music and dance poetry and painting program "Memories of Jiangnan" debuted at the 2022 CCTV Spring Festival Gala, it was crowned as "high-level painting style, ancient style top stream" and continued to be praised on various platforms. Jointly planned by the Propaganda Department of the Zhejiang Provincial Party Committee, the Department of Culture and Tourism of Zhejiang Province and various departments of the literary and artistic circles of Zhejiang Province, the program brings together a group of top art creators and actors such as the Central Academy of Fine Arts, Beijing Renyi, Zhejiang Song and Dance Theater, Zhejiang Conservatory of Music Dance Academy, Hangzhou Song and Dance Theater, etc., to push the trend of Chinese culture and art to the peak in the New Year of Renyin. Based on the Yuan Dynasty painter Huang Gongwang's "Fuchun Mountain Jutu", "Remembrance of Jiangnan" brings together elements such as music, dance, poetry, and painting on the basis of innovative image technology, realizing the dynamic presentation of the homology of poetry and dance in traditional Chinese cultural art classics. The ancient brushes are full of meaning, the elegant scenery is full of elegance, and the Tibetan sounds, the harmonic sounds are music, the music is danced, and the dance is written into poetry. Through the screen, the audience seems to have become a dye of clear ink in the painting, following the ancient people of the fishing tree to look forward to the elegant Fuchun landscape, and swimming and thinking, all the eyes are chased.
Dancing shadows danced and smiled all over the umbrella,
The oil paper swirled and shook and dyed the flying exhibition scroll.
Different from previous programs, "Memories of Jiangnan" stands out from the Spring Festival Gala stage in the frame, with the help of naked-eye 3D, avatar, dynamic capture and other technologies, the ancient painting of multiple local videos for dynamic collage, so that the audience in the far-reaching wide angle and close-up promotion also seems to be in the painting of Zhongshan Trail, under the bridge flowing water. Raindrop oil umbrella, grass color dye skirt, clear mist Tuna, Tianshan common color. The landscape and water show a state of transfer in the midst of natural changes, and it is also like the agility of the treasure land of Jiangnan slowly constructing a beautiful picture of heaven and earth and people. As a result, the poetic meaning is clear, and the picture is also interesting on the paper.
The walker, fisherman, woodcutter, and singer, played by the leading figures in the theater and music world, are the multiple characters differentiated from the immortals who are full of spirit and freedom in the hearts of the writers. The eight figures in the ancient painting are integrated into a complete performance system, and the Kun Cavity and Dancing take you to the exhibition; the recitation and chanting take you on a tour in the painting. Such a way of interpretation breaks the relatively independent boundaries of various art forms, and it is not so much that the means of science and technology have revitalized the traditional cultural style of this picture scroll, but rather that the help of science and technology has allowed us to once again appreciate the exquisite harmony of traditional Chinese poetry and dance.
The vicissitudes of the water have diluted the solid ink thick sorrow,
The empty pen is left with the intention of clearing the worries.
In the program screen, Tang and Song poems such as "Fuchun", "Queqiao Immortal", "Xingxiangzi • Crossing the Seven Mile Lan" are accompanied by the illusion of the landscape in the painting, creating a rich and quaint atmosphere. Therefore, "if there is a poem, it can be recited, and when it is chanted, it is a song, and the song is clear and danced." The integrated reproduction of poetry and dance evokes people's common imagination and memories of Jiangnan. The Fuchun River, which flows through Tonglu and Fuyang in Zhejiang Province, touched Huang Gongwang more than 600 years ago because of the beauty of the water and the beautiful mountain Mingcuixiu, and under the integration of video technology and traditional art, the beautiful scenery of Fuchun in his eyes has once again aroused the cultural resonance of the Chinese people at the moment of reunion of thousands of families today. In 2011, the "Fuchun Mountain Residence Map" collected in Hangzhou and Taipei, "Leftover Mountain Map" and "Useless Teacher Volume" had a combination of mountains and rivers in the motherland's treasure island after more than 360 years of separation, and after that, the two pictures still looked at each other across the sea. "Ten years again in one volume", this time Zhejiang's carefully created "Memories of Jiangnan" uses the power of science and technology to reunite the two scenic scenes, and interprets the nostalgia of compatriots on both sides of the strait and the lyrical beauty of the landscape homeland with music and dance poetry paintings.
When it comes to Jiangnan, people always use memories to narrate and describe. The reason why Jiangnan has always been able to become a common memory in the hearts of ancient and modern Chinese people is not only that the ancient scholars have given it a humanistic ideal that transcends the beauty of vision, but also changes with the times, and the yearning for a better life and the spiritual homeland of today's people have formed a high degree of conformity across the times. As early as the pre-Qin period, there was already a saying of "Jiangnan", in the Tang Dynasty "Wangjiangnan" became a famous song of the church, and after the Song and Yuan Dynasties, "Remembering Jiangnan" was popular as a word plate. In the long history, countless literati have flocked to Jiangsu and Zhejiang to grow up and create a large number of brilliant and magnificent cultural and artistic works. Looking back on the past and the present, the life attitude of Chinese literati has been accumulated in the landscape of Jiangnan, and these heirloom works have followed the development of the times for a long time, and Jiangnan, centered on Zhejiang, is also in the process of practicing the "two mountains" concept in the new era of China, from a geographical indication that lasts for thousands of years to a timeless coordinate of cultural life in the new era. It can be seen that sending love to landscapes is the most simple spiritual ideal under the pulse of Chinese culture.
The heavens and the earth have changed, and the mountains and rivers have not changed,
The storm is turbulent, and the mood is not easy.
Since ancient times, Zhejiang, as the center of Jiangnan, has always been committed to building a cultural highland that keeps pace with the times and empowering the soul of Jiangnan landscapes. Looking back at the previous CCTV Spring Festival Gala, Jiangnan symbols are mostly contained in an art form of song or dance. The appearance of "Remembrance of Jiangnan" at the CCTV Spring Festival Gala, through the cross-border integration of art and scientific and technological innovation means, reconstructed the essence of ancient poetry, painting and song and dance, and led the Chinese people to look back at the natural beauty of the unity of heaven and man at the time of retiring the old and welcoming the new. This immersive viewing experience also coincides with the way Jiangnan real scenes infiltrate and nourish humanities. It not only highlights the wisdom of recreating the value of Jiangnan's excellent cultural heritage, but also leads the frontier trend of cross-border integration of contemporary literary and artistic science and technology creation. When you are in Jiangnan, everyone will inadvertently become a person in the scene and a person in the painting, and the words and intentions of stepping into Jiangnan will also become an inner monologue that will always come up after everyone forgets the complexities of the world. In a flash, the Jiangnan depicted in each poem and painting is the meaning of countless writers.
Back to the umbrella out of the painting, from the layers of dense forest, dancing shadows, the painting paper has long left your mark on the Jiangnan landscape and water sparkle. Step by step, scene by scene, intention and heart, this long green mountains and green waters have been tugging at our heartstrings, transforming into constantly surging memories and memories in our hearts. This kind of memory comes from the past and shows the future, and it is a yearning for returning to Jiangnan again, and it is also a longing for Jiangnan to be new and new.
