Chinese New Year's Eve, the Forbidden City Divine Beast Xiao Luduan is about to land on the Spring Festival Gala in the main station!
There are shadows of divine beasts everywhere in the Forbidden City, and next to the palace throne, it is common to see divine beasts. "甪 (lù)" is a hieroglyph, and the meaning in the Ci Hai is a variant and different reading of the character "jiao". Luduan is a mythical beast in Chinese mythology and legend, traveling 10,000 li a day and 8,000 miles at night, fluent in four languages, quick and keen, and a symbol of auspicious rui. Lu Duan, created based on Ming Wanli cloisonné enamel aromatherapy, has the reputation of "Forbidden City Study Committee", is a messenger of cultural exchange, and represents the self-confidence and self-improvement of traditional Chinese culture.
From more than 1.86 million pieces/sets, the Palace Museum selected the Ming Wanli cloisonné enamel Luduan aromatherapy of Shoukang Palace to create a cartoon image of Luduan. The image design retains the basic characteristics of the cultural relics prototype, with a unicorn on the head, thick and powerful limbs, and a swollen body that makes it look cute. Coupled with thick eyebrows and cute little tiger teeth, Lu Duan holds his head high, confident and cute. The color is more colorful and bright, with free and fresh blue as the main color, supplemented by passionate and lively red, fashionable and dynamic orange, brilliant gold, lovely and warm pink and pure and flawless white, the whole shape is flexible and lively, loved by parents and children.
The first children's musical "Lu Duan" produced by the Palace Museum is a children's drama suitable for parent-child families to appreciate, in the form that the audience likes to see, combined with modern visual technology, to create a stunning stage art effect, truly make cultural relics come alive, achieve "cultural people" and "educate people with beauty", which is of far-reaching significance to children's aesthetic education and the inheritance of Chinese traditional culture.
Chinese New Year's Eve, come to the creative program about sacred beasts at the Spring Festival Gala to find Lu Duan, a small messenger of traditional cultural exchanges! Let's celebrate the Chinese New Year with "Luduan" and be happy and auspicious!
