Mango TV's self-produced documentary documentary about the new era of workers documenting silk road culture and archaeology, "People Dealing with the Silk Road", will be broadcast exclusively on Mango TV every Wednesday at 10:00 on April 20. This 10-episode documentary, with the spirit of perseverance and struggle linked between ancient and modern on the Silk Road as the core, focuses on archaeological excavation, cultural relics protection and cultural dissemination workers in different positions in relevant areas along the Silk Road, records their little-known struggle stories with the expression of young people on the Internet, and reflects their moving spirit of contributing to the inheritance and innovation of Chinese culture.
Taking the first issue as an example, The dialogue of "I in the Mirror" by Idilis, honorary director of the Xinjiang Institute of Cultural Relics and Archaeology, is novel. He sat in the light and laughed and talked to himself, excitedly recalling the story of devoting his life to desert archaeology. Guo Wu, a researcher at the Institute of Archaeology of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, is even more dramatic in his appearance - in the winding ancient city of Gobi, he slowly drives on a dilapidated blue tricycle, shouting the director's name like a neighbor visiting the door, greeting the workers passing by, and sending Mid-Autumn Festival blessings.
The documentary firmly grasps the tastes of young people, does not use solemn and serious lines to tell the history of the Silk Road, but adopts a relaxed and lively narrative to attract the attention of the audience, in addition to field archaeologists, there are guardians, inheritors, researchers, disseminators, through recording a group of real and interesting people and teams, to a certain extent, subverting and deconstructing the stereotypes of young people on the Silk Road cultural workers, so that the history of the Silk Road is "alive" again through the series of characters.
At the same time, the language of the documentary picture is exquisite and extremely textured. The Danxia landform of Zhangye, the grotto statue of Yungang, and the desert Yanglin in Xinjiang can be seen from the aerial camera. Guardian Fu Hong instructs the dancers to recreate the Liangzhou music and dance, the inheritor Li Xiaoyang restores the texture of the material of the antiquities, the researcher Wang Jianxin runs to the Silk Road to do research, and the communicator Qin Chuan shoots hard in the desert... These moments were also fully documented by panoramic lenses. "The Man Who Dealt with the Silk Road" also presents some precious archaeological pictures through reporting images, allowing young audiences to appreciate the dusty other side of the Silk Road culture in the current time and space, and to find beauty and poetry in the differences between the past and the present.
"The Man Who Dealt with the Silk Road" makes each story full of vitality and vitality through real character records, as well as focus and perseverance. The documentary grasps every clue, follows the footsteps of cultural workers, experiences their working environment, records their ordinary life moments, the Great Wall protector He Wenxi lightly described a calm sentence "Stepping into the door of cultural relics protection, we must wholeheartedly take care of the Great Wall", which made him stick to it for a lifetime, and this spirit of perseverance made young audiences admire and move. Perhaps this is the "burning" that young people are pursuing today – persistently, purely, with awe, and only doing one thing in a lifetime.
"The Man Who Dealt with the Silk Road" will be broadcast exclusively on Mango TV every Wednesday at 10:00 on April 20
