Beijing News (reporter Liu Zhen) "What are the same moments as the dance "Only This Green", which makes you feel 'this is very Chinese'? ”。 A few days ago, Meng Qingyang, the actor of the "green" in the Spring Festival Gala dance poetry drama "Only This Green", the dance painting "A Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains", responded to the audience's questions on the zhihu. "At the beginning, when the 'green' looks at the moon, he turns his eyes and turns around, bringing the audience into the picture scroll of "A Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains" and making the painting come alive; finally, when the hills transform into steep and steep peaks, it is like 'will be at the top of the mountain, overlooking the mountains', through the eyes of the painter Wang Ximeng, looking at the great rivers and mountains of the motherland." As the lead dancer of "Only This Green", Meng Qingyang also asked netizens: "Have you seen the great rivers and mountains of China written by the ancients?" See the gifts of the ancients to future generations? I think at that moment, everyone can feel, 'This is very Chinese'. ”
"Only This Green" led the dance Meng Qingyang.
In March last year, Meng Qingyang first came into contact with the script of "Only This Green"; more than a year before that, the main creative team had already begun to create, and a big lesson was to deeply understand the culture of the Song Dynasty. When he first received the role of "Green Green", whether he could use the language of dance to express the static picture, Meng Qingyang was not sure. "Interpreting this kind of traditional cultural work requires knowledge and foundation. If you don't have these things in your heart, you can't convey them by looking at your eyes and form alone. In particular, that freehand state must be truly restored from the culture. ”
Meng Qingyang recalled that for 5 months, almost every day from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m., in addition to training in the dance studio, she was learning and understanding Song Dynasty literature and painting, and also went to the Palace Museum to observe related exhibitions, completely gave up all other work, and only concentrated on the shaping and learning of the role.

Meng Qingyang said: "One day I thought, I gave a lot to 'Green', what does 'Green' give me? I think the answer is this slowing down power. This wisdom from Chinese culture allows me to face the present calmly and seriously, and I can face anything that is coming. There is no end to this road, and I will continue to walk. At present, Meng Qingyang and her "green green" have performed more than 50 times in 16 cities including Beijing, Shanghai, Suzhou, Guangzhou and Shenzhen.
