At the Spring Festival Gala in 2022, the dance "Only This Green" firmly grabbed everyone's attention from the waist skills displayed by the opening actors. Later, the natural background of green mountains and rivers won the audience's burst of sound.
The dance drama "Only This Green" is based on the Northern Song Dynasty painter Wang Ximeng's peak work "A Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains", which lasts nearly 2 hours. Before the Spring Festival Gala, it had performed 51 performances in 18 cities including Shanghai and Guangzhou. Due to time constraints, only one of these excerpts was played on Spring Evening. The girls are green and green long clothes, beautiful as Xianxia, standing proudly, sometimes dignified and calm, sometimes sonorous and powerful, and the confident resonance of thick culture is full of boldness and tuna.
However, because Wang Ximeng and "A Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains" were not familiar to everyone before this, and the Spring Festival Gala showed only a fragment of the entire dance drama, the audience was more or less dazed when enjoying this dance, and could not appreciate the essence of the dance. In contrast, "Flowing Water" that reflects tai chi culture is more pleasing to the eye.
Tai Chi can be said to be a regular guest at the Spring Festival Gala, and martial artists such as Zhen Zidan and Wu Jing have performed Tai Chi on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala. But I personally believe that tai chi is a manifestation of a feminine art, and the martial artists before it represented the image of a tough guy in steel, so the combination of the two seems somewhat out of place on the Spring Festival Gala stage. Moreover, people often use the flowing clouds to describe the posture of tai chi, but it is an imaginary idea after all. In other words, many people may not be able to associate tai chi with xingyun flowing water. And this year's Spring Festival Gala, these two regrets have been made up. Three Tai Chi performers stand on the most representative building in China and wield Tai Chi, surrounded by clouds and flowing water under their feet, fully combining the beauty of Tai Chi with the profound culture, giving people a pleasing visual effect.
