Water has nurtured the land of thistles thousands of years ago, and it also nourishes today's "New Beijing". Tonight, the third season of the large-scale cultural original music reality show "The Most Beautiful Central Axis", jointly produced by Beijing Radio and Television Station, Beijing Municipal Administration of Cultural Relics, and Beijing Jingqi Central Axis Protection Public Welfare Foundation, and sponsored by Huaxia Bank, chief strategic partner, Jingneng Group, and BBMG Group, will continue to be broadcast. In this program, we will follow the water system on the central axis to explore the untold stories of the Beijing section of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, and feel the value and practical significance of the south-to-north water diversion project of the century. In the program, the famous singers Xiao Ke and Xilin Nayi Gao joined in surprise, and together with Ren Hao, the third runner-up of the third season of the "Chinese Poetry Conference", they completed the creation of the theme song with the theme of "water".

Take a dip in Beijing's central axis water system
The central axis of Beijing is the soul and backbone of Beijing, representing the highest achievement in the planning and construction of the ancient capital of oriental civilization. The central axis is the soul, the water system is the vein, and the water system landmarks such as Qianmen Sanli River, Shichahai, Baifu Spring, Kunming Lake, etc., pass through the city from Beijing, tracing the history of Beijing's civilization, the history of the city and the history of the capital.
In this episode, the first stop of the "pickup group" came to the Qianmen Sanli River, walking along the small bridge and flowing water in the ancient alleys, feeling the life atmosphere of the "buffer zone" of Beijing's central axis. "The central axis is the bones of the human body, and the surrounding area is like the feeling of muscle and flesh, constantly supporting the central axis to move forward. "Qianmen Sanlihe" old neighborhood" Yang Bin said.
If the Qianmen Sanli River is a "buffer zone", then the Wanning Bridge on the Shichahai Sea is the intersection of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal and the central axis of Beijing. In the program, Xiao Ke and Xilin Nayi Gao boarded the boat to experience cleaning aquatic weeds on the Shicha Sea, and were able to get a close look at the "true face" of the Wanning Bridge. The stone beasts around Wanning Bridge condense the wisdom and wisdom of the ancient water conservancy people. As the old saying in Beijing goes, "First there is Wanning Bridge, then there is the central axis, and then there is Beijing City", what is the reason for this? What kind of wisdom and mystery does the water beast of Wanning Bridge hide?
Leaving Shichahai, the "pickup group" came to the Yuhe ruins, which is not only an important section of Beijing's central axis, but also an important part of Guo Shoujing's diversion of water into Beijing. "At that time, Guo Shoujing built 24 sluices on the Tonghui River, realizing the function of 'sailing against the current'. It is precisely because Guo Shoujing injected water here that the central axis of Beijing has formed such a prosperous scene. Zhang Peng, executive director of the Beijing Guo Shoujing Memorial Hall, introduced. However, as we all know, Beijing has been a "water-scarce" city since ancient times, and the annual evaporation is much greater than the annual precipitation, but why is the water system in the city so developed? What other amazing achievements did Guo Shoujing have?
The scene repeats the conversation between Nalan and his son
Confucius lamented that the south-to-north water diversion was a "big deal"
Beijing's rich historical river and lake system not only nourishes this land, but also attracts a large number of literati who love water to live by the water. Historically, Guo Moruo, Song Qingling, Nalan Xingde, etc., all lived near Shichahai. In this episode, the host of Beijing Radio and Television Station "Can't Lose Weight" and Chen Jing vividly restored a dialogue between Nalan Mingzhu and Nalan Xingde's father and son. Historically, Nalan Xingde has read poetry and books since he was a child, and has studied both literature and martial arts. He entered the national prison at the age of seventeen, and was promoted at the age of eighteen, but in the twelfth year of Kangxi, he missed the palace examination due to illness and lost the opportunity to be admitted to the Jinshi.
"Water is impermanent, and after three years, the child is no longer a teenager, and after three years, there will be more teenagers in the world. I'm afraid that the child will be late, and he will be late!" Nalan Mingzhu admonished with the water of the river: "Life is a lifetime, not in a hurry. Hundreds of rivers enter the sea, and different paths end together. The vivid and wonderful performance won the full house of the audience.
In addition to Nalan and his son, Confucius will also travel again to tonight's "The Most Beautiful Central Axis". In the program, he and the "Pickup Group" explored the water rhyme culture of the central axis, and sighed at the wisdom of the ancestors and later generations. Especially when he came to the Tuancheng Lake Regulating Pond and felt the details of the implementation of the South-to-North Water Diversion Project in an all-round way, Confucius exclaimed that "doing what the ancients did not do has become what the world is looking forward to". At 20:20 this Friday, we will lock in Beijing Satellite TV's "The Most Beautiful Central Axis" and appreciate the "water wisdom" on Beijing's central axis.
