Traditional culture is no longer a thing that is shelved, but more and more "trendy", more and more integrated into modern aesthetics, and has become an active element of "science and technology +" and "culture +" in modern life.
On September 10, 2021, the premiere of the large-scale national symphony poem "Linghai Long Song" was a complete success.
In Guangdong, it is very easy to get close to traditional culture without knowing when it began.
During the Spring Festival, you can go to the Festival "Sigh" Intangible Cultural Heritage held by the Guangdong Provincial Cultural Center - Intangible Cultural Heritage Market, not only can you buy Guangdong Intangible Cultural Heritage Goods, taste intangible cultural heritage food, but also experience the traditional pot throwing game and Foshan woodblock New Year painting printing;
During the National Day holiday, you can go to the Guangdong Provincial Museum to participate in intangible cultural heritage experience activities such as "Skillful Paper-cutting Celebration Birthday", "Intangible Cultural Heritage New National Treasure, National Day National Tide", and personally experience the sense of achievement of a paper-cutting;
Usually, when you have time, you can also learn the favorite Cantonese nursery rhymes at the Guangzhou Art Museum, and read the interesting "Tai Tai Chuan, Chrysanthemum Garden, Fried Rice Cake, Glutinous Rice Balls..."
How to inherit excellent traditional culture? Guangdong is using its own "cheng" character trick to brilliantly solve the problem, so that the traditional culture "Cantonese" up, tide up, red up.
Cantonese up
What is national is the world. Guangdong's can also be the world's.
"The great power is mighty, the mountains and rivers are majestic, the millennia stretch, the east of Japan, the sky is thick with soil, the heirs are lush, hundreds of millions of people are in the same heart, and they have the ambition to succeed." In September 2021, a large-scale national symphony poem "Long Song of Linghai" concert performed by more than 200 people brought a very shocking and magnificent listening experience to the audience.
This is another national music work that composer Liu Xiang has joined hands with the Guangdong Chinese Orchestra after the large-scale national symphony poem "Guangdong Sea Wind", which combines a variety of folk materials such as Guangfu, Chaoshan, Hakka, Yao, Zhuang, and Yanjia with national instrumental music and vocal music, bringing a new Guangdong sound to national music.
"The Chinese nation is endless and brave enough to move forward. With a grateful heart, we warmly describe our love for the motherland and the land of southern Guangdong! So far, Liu Xiang is still very excited to mention "The Long Song of Linghai".
Tan Chang, the author of the poem "Linghai Long Song", told the "South" magazine reporter that this is an extraordinary creation: "In order to collide with the spark of folk music, the poem manuscript has been adjusted many times before and after. ”
"'Linghai Long Song' does not directly copy the original music of various places, but refines and sublimates the elements of Lingnan music, and in the process of inheritance, uses modern technology to integrate and improve, elevates these splendid traditional cultures to a new height, so that it can show the great vitality of national music in the context of modern culture, so that the spirit of the Chinese nation will bloom with new dazzling brilliance." Chen Junhui, deputy director of the Music Research Office of the Guangdong Institute of Contemporary Literature and Art, explained to the reporter of "South" magazine.
"This creation has set up a new tone for folk music, and successfully explored a new model of folk orchestras and choirs." Chen Zuohui, former director of the Guangdong Chinese Orchestra and percussionist, said.
Transitioning from performer to manager, Chen Zuohui witnessed the inheritance and development of Guangdong national music to Guangdong traditional culture.
"The orchestra's surname is 'Guang', so we have been constantly creating original music, using Lingnan elements and Guangdong characteristics to radiate a wider theme." Chen Zuohui told the "South" magazine reporter.
The Guangdong Chinese Orchestra did exactly that. In recent years, with the support of the Propaganda Department of the Guangdong Provincial Party Committee and the Department of Culture and Tourism of Guangdong Province, the Guangdong Chinese Orchestra has collected and commissioned dozens of new works of Lingnan-style folk music composed by well-known composers at home and abroad, and combined with the orchestra's annual season performance plan, it has successively launched theme concerts with unique Guangdong characteristics such as "Lingnan Variations", "Silk Road Cantonese Rhyme", "Guangdong Sea Wind", "Linghai Long Song" and so on.
It is reported that the Department of Culture and Tourism of Guangdong Province will launch the Guangdong Music New Classic Project from 2021, and plans to continue to launch a number of national music works with unique Guangdong characteristics and popularity in the next few years.
Like national music, Cantonese opera, an intangible cultural heritage with a history of more than 500 years, also shoulders the mission of "Cantonese up". As early as 2003, the "Cantonese Opera Day" on the last Sunday of November every year has become one of the most important festivals for Cantonese opera people in Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao. 2019 marks the 10th anniversary of the successful application of Cantonese opera by Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao. This year, many cultural and artistic activities were held in Hong Kong, Macao, Guangzhou, Shenzhen and other cities. Released in May 2021, the movie "The Legend of the White Snake" became the box office champion of Chinese opera films in 30 years, making Cantonese opera out of the circle. This is the epitome of the continuous quality of Cantonese opera in Guangdong and the development of Cantonese opera into the "best era".
Drinking the water of the Pearl River, the same root, the same blood, has always been not only Guangdong, Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao work together for the inheritance and development of excellent traditional culture, so that Cantonese opera to the world.
Tide up
Audiences can enjoy the New Year's concert of the Guangzhou Opera House through 5G and VR technology, enjoy the cultural relics of the Chen Clan Ancestral Hall through naked-eye 3D technology, and touch the Yangjiang kite of Guangdong's "Intangible Cultural Heritage" project that will remotely control fireworks spraying fires at close range...
The national tide is revived, and the national style is rising. The 17th China (Shenzhen) International Cultural Industry Expo Fair (hereinafter referred to as the "Fair"), known as the "First Exhibition of China's Cultural Industry", has built a platform for exchange and display for the protection and inheritance of various traditional Chinese cultures. Guangdong's traditional culture has become trendy, and the "science and technology fan" is full, which has attracted the attention of many people.
Among them, the Guangzhou Pavilion, located in Hall 12 of the Shenzhen World Convention and Exhibition Center, has the theme of "Science and Technology Empowerment, Cultural Tourism Quality Improvement", and the content is cool, attracting many young people to watch. Different from the regular exhibition area, the museum has set up two immersive experience areas, Guangzhou Treasure Naked Eye 3D and Time Travel VR, where citizens and tourists can experience the Yangcheng elements under the technology of naked eye 3D, AR, VR, holographic, 5G and so on.
Giving new life to traditional culture, things with a sense of distance "come alive". What surprised the audience the most, especially the children, was the naked-eye 3D technology - here, treasures such as the Qing Guangxu Guangcai Painting Jinbian Cockfighting Picture Fish Saucer, the Shell Paper Painting thirteen-line trading hall and the garden character figure fan were "resurrected".
In 2019, Guangdong Province formulated the "Three-Year Action Plan for Guangdong Province to Promote the Construction of the "Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area Cultural Circle" (2019-2021)." With the goal of "Design Capital" and "International Cultural Innovation and Creative Pioneer City", Shenzhen plays an important role in the construction of the "Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area Cultural Circle". The reporter of "South" magazine found that the exhibitions such as the "2021 Bay Area Cultural and Creative Festival" and the "17th Creative December Project" held in 2021 are full of "science and technology + creativity".
Science and technology empower traditional culture, and also play a positive role in highlighting the cultural heritage of Guangdong Province. In recent years, Guangdong has promoted the inheritance and promotion of traditional culture with the help of the Internet, big data, artificial intelligence, VR/AR and other scientific and technological means. Traditional culture is no longer a thing that is shelved, but more and more "trendy", more and more integrated into modern aesthetics, and has become an active element of "science and technology +" and "culture +" in modern life.
Red up
"Red Cotton Red", "The Soul of the Lady of the Towel, Gao Tianbo", "Lingshang Mei"... On September 29, 2021, the 7th Lingnan Dance Competition in Guangdong Province was successfully concluded at the Guangdong Arts Theatre after a period of 9 days of intense competition. Among the 197 original dance works, the red repertoire occupies half of the country.
The small dance drama "Lingshang Mei" presents the revolutionary deeds of Feng Hao, one of the five martyrs of the "Left Alliance", in dance, and won the bronze medal for creation, the bronze award for works, and the bronze award for performance in the dance competition, and also won the honors of best starring in the small dance drama, best stage lighting, best costume design, and best original music.
When the stage represents the light of two time and space to the male and female protagonists, they each hold a hand-knitted wool vest covered with bullet marks, which symbolizes the heroic sacrifice of the 24-year-old Feng Hao and 23 other left-wing writers on that cold night in 1931. The shocking picture of "Lingshang Mei" has infected the audience more than once, and the distant red history is intertwined with everyone's resonance here.
Yu Duanrong, editor-in-chief of "Lingshang Mei", told the "South" magazine reporter: "I hope that the audience will remember the name of Feng Hao together, so that the revolutionary brilliance of his women will always shine in people's hearts." ”
"Lingshang Mei" is the epitome of Guangdong's efforts to dig deep into red resources in recent years. Red culture is an important part of China's advanced culture and has injected red blood into the creative transformation of China's excellent traditional culture. Red culture is becoming accessible in a more fashionable way.
When culture prospers, the country prospers. In April 2021, the Central Propaganda Department officially issued the "14th Five-Year Plan for key projects of the Inheritance and Development Project of Chinese Excellent Traditional Culture", which put forward specific requirements for doing a good job in the inheritance and development of the next five years. The plan formulates a roadmap for the inheritance and development of excellent traditional culture in the next five years, and continuously meets the new expectations of the people's culture.
Under the clarion call of the construction of the Humanistic Bay Area, in the deep sedimentation and deep nourishment of traditional culture, Lingnan culture will bloom with brilliant new era light.
