Grandpa said, "Aoshan Mountain, a long, long time ago, there was a golden jade temple in that mountain, there were white rare animals and exotic animals and jewels full of plants, and the flowers and fruits were fragrant and delicious, and it would last forever after eating it." There are also many fairies, who swim back and forth between heaven and earth. It carries all the good wishes and expectations of people, as long as you find Aoshan Mountain, you can find happiness and find happiness! ”
Because of Grandpa's words, the little girl Lian Bao and the little lamp goddess sister Deng Ling'er, who ran away from the marquee, embarked on a wonderful journey to find Aoshan Mountain on the night of the first year.
Grandpa and Lotus Treasure
On February 15, the Lantern Festival, the original literature reading platform started reading for the first time as a content support, lighting up the Lantern Festival gala "Shangyuan Thousand Lantern Festival" with the most traditional cultural charm in 2022, and opening the young people's favorite Lantern Festival in the form of online texts. Starting Point Writer Xi performed the original national style background story of the evening party, and surprised the stall owner of "Starting Point Book Club", bringing a wonderful experience of double kitchen ecstasy to young audiences who love online articles and national style.
The evening invited Meng Guanglu, vice chairman of the All-China Federation of Literary and Art Circles, Wang Peiyu, a famous Peking Opera actor, singer-songwriter Alain, national first-class actors Shao Tianshuai and Weng Jiahui, and the champion group of China Figure Skating Club League Chen Xizi and Xing Jianing to participate together, to explore the charm of the national essence, to present the charm and spiritual core of Chinese opera culture in a variety of ways, and to have a variety of traditional folk cultures such as Chaoshan Ying song and dance, Kip stone lanterns, Quanzhou flower lanterns, etc., so that tradition and trend collide, and the ancient and the young can dialogue.
For the first time, Xixing created the evening drama to show the charm of traditional culture
Yinghe Lantern Festival, the script of this evening party with the theme of "girls looking for Aoshan Mountain, looking for happiness and reunion", with delicate brushstrokes to outline a very traditional temperament and cultural atmosphere of the story clues. Xixing integrates traditional cultural elements such as opera, English song and dance, and flower lanterns into the script, sending the audience the beautiful blessings of harmony and reunion, and allowing young people to fully feel the elegance of traditional folklore and the beauty of traditional skills.
Talking about the origin of this cooperation, Xixing said that at the beginning, the project team of the evening party communicated with her creative intentions through reading articles. Although she has written online articles for more than ten years and created a number of ancient romance works, she has never written a story for a party, and she is still a little hesitant.
"Later, I watched their Mid-Autumn Festival party, and I was very excited to see it, and I felt that the expression of traditional culture was rare, and I especially liked the classical dance, weapon encouragement, etc., and I felt that if I could participate in it, it was really honorable, and it was worth writing this story for them." With the encouragement of his daughter, Xi Xing plucked up the courage to take over this cooperation.
In order to write a good story, Xi Xing deliberately consulted a lot of books and materials, including the customs of the Lantern Festival, the legend of the lantern and so on. The custom of lantern burning from the Han Dynasty, the festival period was initially one day, to the Tang Dynasty for three days, the Song Dynasty for five days, to the Ming Dynasty, the Lantern Festival from the eighth day of the first month to the seventeenth day of the first month, a full ten days, day for the city, night to light the lamp, bustling and bright, lively and extraordinary.

For the Shangyuan Lantern Society, the ancients left many moving descriptions. Li Shangyin wrote about the scene of the surging cars and horses on the Yuan Lantern Festival in Chang'an: "The moonlight lamp mountain is full of emperors, and the fragrant car Baogai Pass is through the qu. Idle and not to see the prosperity of the middle, shame on the villager Sai Zigu. Lu Zhaolin admired the brilliant scenery illuminated by the flower lanterns: "The colors are far away, and the light is far away." The stars of Han doubt fell, and the building seemed to hang like a moon. Ouyang Xiu used "Sheng Cha Zi Yuan Xi" to lament the parting: "On the first night of last year, the flower market lights up like day. The moon reaches the head of the willow tip, and the person is about after dusk. ”
"Shangyuan Thousand Lantern Society" Girl Stepping Song
Xi Xing's favorite is the Song Dynasty poet Xin Renjie's "Qingyu Case , New Year's Eve":
"The east wind blooms a thousand trees at night. More blowing down, the stars like rain. BMW carved car fragrant road. The sound of the phoenix vibrates, the jade pot turns, and the fish and dragon dance all night.
Moth snow willow golden wisps. Laughter filled the dark incense. The multitudes looked for him a thousand times. Suddenly looking back, the man was there, and the lights were dimmed. ”
She said that she hopes to "present a reunion and joyful atmosphere on the stage of the "Shangyuan Thousand Lantern Festival", and the world is like a glass world, brilliant, bright and beautiful." ”
The character bridge section is extremely ingenious, and the market stages the "Lantern Salty and Sweet Dispute"
It is reported that the script content creation was about a month before and after. Around November 15, 2021, Xixing communicated with the program group friends about the initial story direction, and then wrote down; the first draft of the story was completed a week later. After that, two rounds of adjustments were made to the content of the story; after that, the screenwriting team of the evening party adapted the script based on the story and lines, and Xixing polished the specific lines again. In late December last year, the entire script was finalized.
Talking about the challenge of this creation, Xi Xing told Nandu reporter that on the one hand, the script story is relatively short, the requirements for scene portrayal and story line description are relatively high, in a short word count, it is necessary to outline the beautiful scenes and flexible and vivid characters; on the other hand, although the deduced story is the background of historical overhead, the costumes, environment, customs, culture and other elements are mainly referenced to the Ming Dynasty. The Ming Dynasty is a golden age in the history of mainland opera, which involves a lot of historical facts such as Lantern Festival folklore and traditional culture at that time need to have accurate basis, and she has done a lot of desk work for this purpose.
Lantern Spirit and Lotus Treasure
In order to increase the fun and sense of conflict in the story, Xixing intersperses some exquisite designs in the story. For example, the role of the little lamp god linger who came out of the marquee is to add "fantasy and mystery to the real story." ”
The story begins with "The lamp god sister runs out of the lamp and takes the little girl to pursue happiness together", to the end of "the lamp god returns to the marquee, the bright lights are like the world", interspersed with some small bridges and small interactions, such as "the boy is funny to grab the girl's marquee", "the girl is angry and wants to grab the boy's mask", etc., highlighting the cute jokes between young boys and girls, close to the feelings of young audiences, causing everyone to resonate.
Lotus Treasure and Lantern LingEr in front of the Tangyuan Stall
The most interesting bridge section is probably the "Lantern Salty and Sweet Dispute" that occurred in front of the Tangyuan Stall. Bao Lantern's action is skillful and kind - shaking the basket makes the filling roll around and dipping it in glutinous rice flour, scooping up the dipping water, and then under the basket rock, the filling is wrapped in thick glutinous rice flour layer by layer, which becomes the Lantern... The filling of the sweet Lantern is "sesame sugar and date paste", the salty Lantern filling is "minced meat, onion, ginger and vegetables", the salty and sweet Lantern stall owners are beautiful, competing against each other, the shop guys are shaking and jumping, and the lantern people stop to watch... The steaming Lantern is full of human fireworks, and the little girl Lian Bao takes a bite of it, whether it is salty or sweet, it is "Roll out a Lantern, good reunion!" ”
Xi Xing said: "Drama comes from life, and festivals are celebrated for life. "Three meals a day, the most simple and life-like situation." The Lantern festival is a specific food on the Yuan Festival, "in the story, the protagonist is on the street, at home, when he wants to eat, the Lantern and Tangyuan appear. For the characters, this is a habit that has been handed down. ”
Xi Xing incarnated as the starting point book stall owner "more affection for the world in the pen"
In the party, Xixing also walked to the front of the stage for the first time, playing the stall owner of the starting point book stall, looking for the girl and her party to find the "direction" of Aoshan Mountain. Xi Xing laughed, playing the stall owner is equivalent to a "little Easter egg", "The first time I created the world, the characters are so close, they were all bystanders before, and even as the masters of this world, they were high, but this time I became one of them, and I felt that I had more feelings for the characters and the world in my writing." "In the future, I will be a mother, not a stepmother, and I must be kind to the characters."

The content team of the evening party believes that the story of Xixing not only integrates the intention of each program into the emotional presentation of the overall script, but also dominates the emotional advancement of the whole party with the development of the story, so that the party has an emotional tone throughout, and has a sense of rhythm and expectation.
In particular, Xi Xing's original multi-paragraph lines elevated the literary background of the whole party. For example, when The Lantern LingEr asked who the teenager really was, the teenager's recitation:
"I, ah, is a teenager who has experienced life and death, miaoling years know sorrow and joy, look down to taste the taste of life, look up at the vicissitudes of the sea and mulberry fields, I can carry a knife to kill people, get off the horse can hold a pen into a book, a pair of eyes peeping into yin and yang, a mouth for the four seasons of reincarnation ——"
This line makes a juvenile character who has gone through thousands of sails and still laughs and scolds more plump and vivid. In the picture of Xi Xing's appearance as the lady of the book stall in the party, the words in the four vertical character paintings hanging behind Xi Xing are from here.

"We need to maintain close communication with the program arrangement of the evening, and in the creative process, we must also consider more about the integration of the program intention to push the overall evening party to the emotional climax, and at the same time pay more attention to the stage presentation effect of the story in the creative adjustment, which is a new process of experimentation and running-in." Looking back on the collaboration, the content team staff said.
Born in the land of Yan Zhao The text is full of chivalry and idealism
Xi Xing was born in Yu Rang's hometown in The Assassin Chronicles. She often passed through a place called Yu Rang Bridge, where the legendary Yu Rang assassination was hiding. She told Nandu reporters: "I also like assassins or chivalrous stories the most, so the novels I write unconsciously express chivalry, the kind of freedom and idealism that die for a confidant, or whisk away clothes and hide merit and fame." ”
She is the starting point of the girls' network, especially good at ancient medicine themes. In 2009, he began to create literature, and his representative works include "Jun Jiuling", "Emperor Ji", "Ask Dan Zhu", "Famous Doctor Girl" and so on. She has won the 2017 Mao Dun Literature Award for Online Literature Newcomer Award, the "2018 China Internet Literature Female Writers Influence TOP50" female writer influence fifth place and other awards. A number of works have been adapted into film and television dramas, and the film and television drama of the same name adapted from his original book "Jun Jiuling" will be broadcast in 2021.
Talking about the creation of ancient style themes for many years, Xixing said that he was influenced by traditional culture when he first wrote. She usually likes to read poetry, and also likes to read small stories like "Three Words" and "Two Beats", and can often find small inspirations in her creation. In more than ten years of writing, each of her works has been related to traditional culture, because it is like "a vast galaxy, inexhaustible".
"Shangyuan Thousand Lantern Society" Guess the riddle
Medical works such as "Famous Doctors and Women" and "Jiaoniang Medical Classics" once set off a "medical wind" in the starting station. Xi Xing said: "I think Chinese medicine embodies the most traditional character of Chinese, people are determined to win the heavens, indomitable. When it is known that it will be sick and die, when it is ignorant and uncivilized, in addition to fearing the gods, the ancestors have not given up on self-help, so there are shennong to taste hundreds of grasses. Medicine is man's reverence and desire for life. ”
For example, writing a plot of Chinese medicine medicine, describing a particularly beautiful scene: "Cutting herbs with a particularly good knife, cutting them is particularly thin, just like snow", Xixing feels that this beauty is very simple and poetic, and she hopes to let modern people feel the beauty of traditional skills through words.
In addition to the subject matter of medicine, Xixing's writing also touches on all aspects of emotion. For example, the long new work "Chu Hou", which is being serialized, tells about the "emotional misalignment" between parents and children - what they think is good for each other, but not necessarily what the other party wants, which is also very similar to the relationship between many young people and their parents at present. Xi Xing said: "The parents of the heroines in my previous novels are very shallow, they are very lonely, and this time I want to write a warm one, and I don't want them to have regrets anymore." I also hope that during the Lantern Festival, everyone will be reunited, harmonious and beautiful. ”
