Chinese New Year's Eve evening, with the CCTV Spring Festival Gala song and dance program "Only This Green" was staged, this dance and poetry drama from the ancient Painting of the Song Dynasty more than 900 years ago, "A Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains", was all over the land of Shenzhou. During the performance, the "green waist" of the lead dancer Meng Qingyang left a deep impression on the audience and became a phenomenon-level hot topic.
The girl from Zhoukou, Henan Province, began to contact dance at the age of 5, entered Beijing at the age of 9 to start professional training, and for more than 20 years, she has paid a lot of hard work and sweat, and also given up a lot of time with her family. However, dancing has brought her a lot of gains. "I think the most important thing is that dance has given me a tough character." On the afternoon of February 2, Meng Qingyang gave a speech in an interview with a reporter from Dahe News Yu Video. In addition, Meng Qingyang also told reporters how the "green waist" was refined.
Cultural self-confidence creates "Only This Green"
In April 1113, Wang Ximeng, a famous painter in the late Northern Song Dynasty, spent half a year to complete the famous silk color work "A Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains". However, Wang Ximeng, as a Song dynasty, probably would not have thought that more than 900 years later, future generations would use another way to complete the combination of dance and art, and create "Only This Green" that also surprised the audience.
From static paintings to dynamic dances, this is not only an artistic fusion across time and space, but also a wonderful display of the profundity of our traditional Chinese culture. Even the lead dancer Meng Qingyang couldn't help but sigh: "I think that as a literary and art worker, being able to stand on the CCTV stage to inherit Chinese culture is itself a tribute to traditional Chinese culture." It can be said that it is the deep-rooted cultural self-confidence that has created this show. ”
According to reports, the "Map of a Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains" inherits the "green landscape" painting method since the Sui and Tang dynasties in terms of color and brushwork, that is, it is mainly based on mineral pigments such as stone green and stone green. Therefore, the name of this dance poetry drama is also called "Only This Green".
"This is our new drama of China Oriental Performing Arts Group Co., Ltd., the role I played in the play is 'green', and one of the clips presented on the stage of the CCTV Spring Festival Gala is 'green and green women's skirt', which is a state of freehand. The role of 'green and green' in the play is like the soul of the picture of a thousand miles of rivers and mountains, and it is also the essence of the brilliant colors that have not faded for thousands of years. In the interview, Meng Qingyang made such a profound interpretation of his role.
Meng Qingyang said: "Thank you very much for your love and support for "Only This Green", now more and more young people like traditional Chinese culture, because this is something in our roots. Standing on this hot land of China, we can carry forward our traditional culture, which is a very proud thing in itself. ”
"Green Waist" has a real name, and the difficult action of "Only This Green" is more than this one
Dance is an aesthetic of body language that requires repetitive, hard training, and cumulative precipitation.
For Meng Qingyang, she was able to embark on the road of dancing, mainly because she was full of enthusiasm. Because I was still very young when I was exposed to dance, I was very ignorant of the future path, but I insisted on going by liking it, of course, I also suffered a lot and sweated a lot for more than 20 years. Take the "green waist" in the "only this green" that people talk about this time, this action requires a strong waist and abdomen strength, and many physical training that ordinary people cannot imagine. Meng Qingyang introduced that the "green waist" is called "dangerous peak" in the play, the core strength is concentrated in the waist, the difficulty is larger, "the ability of the waist and abdominal muscles to support this action, accumulated over time to achieve the same effect on the stage." In addition to this action, the complete "Only This Green" also has a series of difficult and beautiful actions such as "Waiting", "Looking at the Moon", "Falling Clouds", "Hanging Thoughts", "Solo Step", "Lying Stone" and so on.
For netizens to imitate, Meng Qingyang said that non-professionals should not try, "As professional dancers, through the strength and balance of the waist and abs and leg support, we can complete this action, but if it is non-professional, it is recommended not to imitate easily, which will have an impact on the shaping of bones."
"I never saw dance as a job, but as a spiritual belief. Only by standing on the stage is the real Meng Qingyang. For more than 20 years, it is the word 'love' that has supported me to keep going, and dance has become an indispensable part of my life, so I am very happy. Meng Qingyang said.
Looking forward to the performance in Zhengzhou, we will volunteer to give back to our hometown

When time permits, she will also return to Zhoukou to guide the students of her hometown colleges and universities. "I am a native of Zhoukou, and I left Zhoukou to go to school since I was a child. After more than 20 years of stage experience and what I have learned, I feel it is necessary and obligatory to give back to the people of my hometown. So as long as I can find time, I will definitely return to Zhoukou Normal College to communicate and share with my classmates. Meng Qingyang said.
