It is our new cultural mission in the new era to continue to promote cultural prosperity, build a cultural power, and build the modern civilization of the Chinese nation at a new starting point.

Shenzhen has always attached great importance to cultural construction and insisted on putting the prosperity and development of culture in a very important position. In recent years, Shenzhen has carried out a lot of reforms and innovations in terms of deeply cultivating the soil of literature and art, cultivating the ecology of literature and art, building literary and artistic troupes, and cultivating literary and artistic talents, which has created favorable conditions for the birth of literary and artistic masterpieces, and also indicates that more literary and artistic masterpieces will emerge in an endless stream.
Literary and artistic masterpieces, witnessing the vitality and creativity of the city's cultural development.

Innovation is the life of literary and artistic works - the enlightenment of "Wing Chun" landing on CCTV Spring Festival Gala (2)
The integration and innovation of tradition and modernity have made the CCTV Spring Festival Gala "Chinese New Year's Eve Dinner" delicious. Shenzhen's original dance drama "Wing Chun" bloomed in the Spring Festival Gala, which is also closely related to its strong innovative color.
"Poetry and writing follow the fortune of the world, and they are constantly new every day. "Innovation is the life of literature and art. Only by pushing through the old and bringing forth the new and innovating can literary and artistic works stand up, spread, and become masterpieces. This is the perception and inspiration that "Wing Chun" brings to the majority of "fans".
A series of innovations and creations have lit up "Wing Chun". "Wing Chun" uses dance to integrate martial arts and revitalize traditional martial arts with contemporary dance language, so that dance and martial arts have found a very good point of convergence; "Wing Chun" boldly adopts the structure of "two-line narrative", seamlessly connecting the two lines of "Ip Man's story" and "the story of the person who recorded Ip Man's story", and the "fighting spirit" carried by the two stories resonates at the same frequency in different time and space on the same stage; "Wing Chun" activates the intangible cultural heritage "Xiangyun Veil" and "Wing Chun", stirring up the contemporary pulse of the ancient national intangible cultural heritage; "Wing Chun" The stage is rotated and moved, and the stage art takes the form of dislocation, borrowing, combination, and splitting in a limited space, which reflects the avant-garde nature of space aesthetics and the creativity of stage design......
Cutting off the bloodline and creating out of thin air is not innovation, and sticking to the old ways and being self-contained is not inheritance. The innovation of "Wing Chun" is an innovation rooted in the fertile soil of China, and it is the creative transformation and innovative development of China's excellent traditional culture. Shenzhen's development achievements are in itself the brilliant results of watering the flower of modern civilization with the living water of China's excellent traditional culture, and "Wing Chun" is produced by "Shenzhen", which is in line with the city's temperament.
Behind the innovation and breakthrough of "Wing Chun", there is the spirit of creativity, struggle, unity and dream of the entire creative team, as well as the innovative culture and atmosphere of the city. Shenzhen, a city of youth with an average age of 32.5 years old, has formed an ecology and culture that respects, tolerates and encourages innovation, and all walks of life are surging with the vitality of innovation.
Looking forward to innovating and lifting more literary and artistic masterpieces!
The market is the touchstone for testing literary and artistic works - the enlightenment of "Wing Chun" landing on CCTV Spring Festival Gala (3)
""Wing Chun" is the first in my heart, handsome!" "The fight between Wing Chun and Baguazhang is so beautiful! "Clean, so sassy!" ...... Excerpts from Shenzhen's original dance drama "Wing Chun" made a stunning appearance at the CCTV Spring Festival Gala in the Year of the Dragon, bringing a visual feast of "dance and martial arts" to audiences at home and abroad, and once again setting off a wave of "Wing Chun fever".
Whether a work is good or not, the audience's response is the gold standard for testing. From the 2023 New Year's Eve Gala of Station B to winning 200 million views to shining on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala, "Wing Chun" has won unanimous applause from audiences at home and abroad along the way, and the box office has been popular all the way. No matter from what dimension, "Wing Chun" is a phenomenal masterpiece that can stand the test of time and the market, organically unify social and economic benefits, and inject new vitality into the elegant art performance market.
A well-received literary and artistic masterpiece must be the result of meticulous craftsmanship and excellence by the producers and creators with a determined heart. The government is promising, the market is effective, the excellent production team, the strong support force, and the unique creative production mode are the prerequisites for "Wing Chun" to be both "applauded" and "popular". The innovative expression and dissemination of traditional culture, as well as the integration of online and offline communication, have accumulated a strong reputation, which has provided strong momentum for "Wing Chun" to continue to "break the circle".
The success of "Wing Chun" is the embodiment of Shenzhen's years of cultivation of fertile soil for literature and art, cultivation of literary and artistic ecology, and cultivation of young literary and artistic talents. Deepen the reform of literary and art troupes, implement the "Famous Literary and Artistic Artists" plan, and introduce top talents through the "project system" operation...... For a long time, Shenzhen has insisted on putting the prosperity and development of culture in a very important position, making a high degree of cultural consciousness the vane of Shenzhen's literary and artistic creation, giving full play to the role of various support and guarantee mechanisms, and forming a set of literary and artistic creation mechanisms with Shenzhen characteristics. The "Shenzhen model" realizes the cooperation between the government and the non-governmental sector, so that the mainstream values and the market operation mechanism have found a combination point, so that the "Shenzhen product" not only has the "energy" of inspiring spirit, but also has the "flow" that the people love and are willing to praise.
A "Wing Chun", "Yong" is also full of cultural strength of "spring". From the literary and artistic masterpiece "Wing Chun" to the "Yongchun" of the cultural market, it is expected that more literary and artistic masterpieces will "break through the circle" and break through the new business formats, forming a magnificent landscape of China's performing arts industry in the new era.
Rooted in the people is the source of artistic creation - the enlightenment of "Wing Chun" landing on CCTV Spring Festival Gala (4)
On the stage of CCTV Spring Festival Gala, "Wing Chun" has become a popular program and has become a hot topic in the past few days. Everyone praised "Wing Chun", which had a strong resonance, because they felt the people's feelings of "Wing Chun" from the people and to the people.
The people are the starting point of literary and artistic creation. General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out: "All achievements are attributed to the people, and all glory is attributed to the people." "It is our fundamental position to create for the people and speak for the people. "Wing Chun" is a heroic story that pays tribute to ordinary people, builds an "ordinary world" in the new era, and eulogizes the creative spirit, struggle spirit and unity spirit of the people. "Wing Chun" depicts the people, depicts the people, and eulogizes the people with heart, emotion, and hard work, which clearly embodies the people-centered creative orientation.
The people are an inexhaustible source of literary and artistic creation. There are 100 or 1,000 methods of literary and artistic creation, but the most fundamental, crucial, and reliable method is to take root in the people and life. The main creative team of "Wing Chun" sank their hearts and threw themselves down, went to the masses, went to practice, and went to life, to understand the Wing Chun grandmaster Ip Man, to observe the production process of national intangible cultural heritage fragrant cloud yarn, and to think carefully and study carefully, to discover the theme of creation, capture the inspiration of innovation, and sharpen innovative thinking. Based on this, "Wing Chun" has successfully created the image of "Chinese heroes" represented by Ip Man, eulogized ordinary people who chased the light and ran under the inspiration of "heroic spirit", and also presented the historical and humanistic features of the Greater Bay Area with the same culture, close proximity and similar folk customs. Xiangyun yarn is artistically written into the plot, bringing a different kind of visual enjoyment and cultural shock to the audience. The practice of the creation of "Wing Chun" proves that good literary and artistic works come from the masses. Only when literary and artistic creation is deeply rooted in the practice of the people, takes the creation of the people as the source of living water, and deeply excavates and refines it, can we create masterpieces that illuminate the hearts of the people and lead the times.
Dedicating the people with high-quality products is the purpose of literary and artistic creation. The needs of the people are the fundamental value of the existence of literature and art. General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized that "we must insist on dedicating the people with high-quality products". "Wing Chun" is a literary and artistic masterpiece that Shenzhen has worked intensively and meticulously with the spirit of craftsmen. It has performed more than 100 times at home and abroad, and has won full applause, and every stop of the tour has staged a warm resonance between the stage and the audience. "Wing Chun" sends aesthetic pleasure and beautiful hope to the hearts of the people, and constantly meets the growing spiritual and cultural needs of the people.
The people are the starting point, the source and the fundamental purpose of literary and artistic creation. "Wing Chun" shows the fundamental position of socialist literature and art of "originating from the people, for the people, and belonging to the people". Rooted in the people, rooted in life, and breathing with the broad masses of the people, sharing the same fate, and connecting hearts, we will be able to create more excellent works like "Wing Chun" that conform to the requirements of the times and enhance the spiritual strength of the people.
The Successful Exploration of Chinese Culture Going Global: The Enlightenment of "Wing Chun" Landing on CCTV Spring Festival Gala (5)
This also means that the Shenzhen original dance drama "Wing Chun", which shines in the Spring Festival Gala, has gained a wave of strong momentum to continue the "circle-breaking" effect, and the visibility and display of Shenzhen's literary and artistic creations on the world stage will be further improved.
Literature and art are the world's languages, and culture is the best business card of a city. At the stage of creation and planning, Shenzhen has defined the dance drama "Wing Chun" as an artistic masterpiece that spreads the excellent traditional Chinese culture to the world and carries out international cultural exchanges with a high degree of cultural consciousness. From the continuous "full house" of the overseas debut in Singapore, to the "all-for-one" fans in Hong Kong, and then to the CCTV Spring Festival Gala stage this time to be more widely disseminated around the world...... Facts have proved that just as Ip Man opened the "one door" of Wing Chun in Hong Kong, the dance drama "Wing Chun" broke through the circle and went to sea, and also opened a "one door" in the international performing arts market and international communication, allowing the masterpiece of telling Chinese stories in the new era to a wider world.
The more local, the more international. "Wing Chun" can become a cultural business card to promote Shenzhen to the world, precisely because this dance drama is "very Shenzhen". Advocating the individual spirit of pioneering, enterprising, tenacious and striving, promoting the heroic feelings of daring to take responsibility and being willing to contribute, encouraging innovation and creativity, and creating new brilliance - the spiritual value given by Shenzhen to "Wing Chun" not only brings a new aesthetic experience to the audience, but also has a vigorous and upward spiritual power, evoking the spiritual resonance and resonance beyond national borders, and the image of Shenzhen as an open, inclusive and enterprising city is also more deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. To a certain extent, "Wing Chun" has broken through the inherent meaning of a dance drama and has become a city IP with distinctive Shenzhen cultural characteristics, and a vivid and efficient urban marketing carrier.
The more national it is, the more global it is. The excellent traditional Chinese culture is the crystallization and essence of the wisdom of the Chinese civilization, the root and soul of the Chinese nation, and the foundation for us to gain a firm foothold in the turmoil of world culture. "Wing Chun" innovatively integrates national intangible cultural heritage and Lingnan folk culture with a highly contemporary and modern artistic vocabulary, and carefully promotes the creative transformation and innovative development of China's excellent traditional culture, which is a successful exploration of Shenzhen to promote Chinese culture to go global. The charm of Chinese culture conveyed by "Wing Chun" has transcended ethnicities and languages, and has become a bridge for cultural exchanges, and the stories of Shenzhen, the Greater Bay Area, and China have also been spread along with the footsteps of the play's performances at home and abroad.
"Yong" is always "spring" at the head of the tide. The successful exploration of "Wing Chun" breaking the circle and going to sea inspires and enlightens Shenzhen's literary and artistic undertakings, and it is necessary to take deep root in the hot land of Shenzhen's first demonstration, continue to activate the vitality of China's excellent traditional culture with the spirit of the times, and devote itself to creating literary and artistic masterpieces that can be spread throughout the country and even the world, constantly set a new benchmark for culture and art, and let Chinese culture go to the world, and go wider and wider in Shenzhen's exploration and practice.
