"Poetry is an indispensable part of life for me. I want more young people like me to pay attention to and love poetry culture. Jiang Zhen, a junior from the Railway Police Academy, said. In the finals of CCTV's "2022 Chinese Poetry Conference" on March 14, he won the championship.
The "Chinese Poetry Conference", which has entered the seventh season, has continuously made breakthroughs and innovations, and has also attracted more and more people to become poetry lovers like Jiang Zhen. In a way that contemporary young people like to hear, let the niche poetry culture continue to break the circle, what is the mystery behind this veteran cultural variety show?
Let the poems fit the times
What are the highlights of the 2022 Chinese Poetry Conference? In the view of judge Kang Zhen, the biggest highlight is the refinement of a number of key words, which are some hot words widely circulated among young people and in society, and at the same time can represent the new fashion and new style of this era. The "2022 Chinese Poetry Conference" focuses on the ten key words of "Jiangshan", "Youth", "Burning", "Encounter", "Daoxiang", "Rhyme", "Heaven and Earth", "Taste", "Sa" and "Departure", so that poetry becomes a mirror that reflects the style of the times.
Producer and general director Yan Fang introduced that the establishment of the ten key words has been planned and discussed with the expert group for a long time, "We all feel that the poetry conference has come to this day, how to border with life, we must produce a new method, so I thought of using the concept of keywords to connect the theme of ten episodes, and I hope that when you see such a theme, you can think of yourself, such as what is the most 'burning' moment in my life." ”
In the recent Beijing 2022 Winter Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games, ancient poems are often quoted in sports commentaries, which in the eyes of many people is also related to the driving force of the "Chinese Poetry Conference". Kang Zhen believes that this shows that people are willing to use poetry as an everyday expression, as the most beautiful depiction of things. "Classical poetry has indeed awakened in contemporary life, and it has become a way of speech in our daily lives. Therefore, people can't help but use poetry and language to explain the players' actions. ”
The "2022 Chinese Poetry Conference" program also appears in a small theater, where actors play ancient people from a thousand years ago and display poetry on the stage. In such a way, we can bring the past and the present closer together, communicate the past and the present, and create a sense of closeness.
Let the poetry culture further "expand the group"
The poetry fever brought about by the second season of the 2017 "Chinese Poetry Conference", especially the excellent performance of Shanghai players such as Wu Yishu, has triggered discussions in the Shanghai poetry community. Hu Xiaojun, president of the Shanghai Poetry Society, once said that according to Confucius's summary of the social role of poetry "Xingguan Group Grievances", the key to the current development of poetry inheritance is how to implement "expanding the group", that is, to guide the public to use poetry to exchange ideas and emotions, exchange views and views, and achieve social communication. The broadcast of the "Chinese Poetry Conference" played a positive role in this.
In the program, "folk questioners" from all walks of life, starting from their own occupations, regions, living environments, etc., invite contestants to answer with appropriate poetic elements. In the sixth season of the 2021 program, a Fengjie fruit farmer once invited contestants to give the orchard a nice name from the perspective of poetry, some people took "three inches of gold", some people took "Junsu Ji", and in the creative competition, they also helped the local navel orange marketing nationwide.
In the last episode of this year, Yang Huishan, founder of the Shanghai Glass Art Museum, served as the folk author of "Poetry in Paintings". She created a delicate glass work in the form of glazing cast, showing the song Dynasty Zengji's poem "In the empty mountains where the ghost people live, the old pines are all made of dragons". This question finally stumped everyone.
The work, titled "Green Pine Lingyun", was fired by Yang Huishan's studio in Shanghai and will soon be displayed in the Liuli Workshop Gallery on the first floor of the Shanghai Liuli Art Museum. Yang Huishan feels that it is a great honor to be able to use her own works to cross the border and spread traditional culture. "The culture of Chinese is said in Chinese language, and the story of Chinese is said in Chinese emotion. I want to explore the poetic heritage of thousands of years in Chinese glass art, and pay tribute to the beauty of poetry with the skills of glass. ”
Yan Fang introduced that the "2022 Chinese Poetry Conference" has increased cooperation with Station B and Kuaishou, and introduced more vivid expressions that young people like. "Now that everyone is facing the challenge of the epidemic, we also need poetry to give strength and bring spiritual nourishment, which may be a role brought to us by the poetry conference."
"In recent years, young people have shown great enthusiasm for the form of traditional culture, including poetry, and they are very good at transforming these poems into fashionable cultural resources." Kang Zhen believes that as traditional cultural resources are transformed into fashion culture and daily culture in life, poetry will further fly into the homes of ordinary people.
