"The path of creation determines the direction of progress, and the flowers are in full bloom because the hot land of Longyuan provides literary and artistic nutrition." Wang Dengbo, chairman of the Gansu Provincial Federation of Literary and Art Circles (hereinafter referred to as the "Gansu Provincial Federation of Literary and Art Circles"), said in an exclusive interview with a reporter from Chinanews.com, "Speaking with works is the greatest respect for art. Literary and artistic achievements ultimately depend on the works. ”
As the golden section of the ancient Silk Road, Gansu is a place where Eastern and Western cultures meet in history, and has splendid and colorful historical and cultural relics. Gansu literary and artistic workers have taken root in the land of Longyuan, from folk art to modern stage, from literary creation to film and television production, the same good news has been spread frequently, and good news has continued. Wang Dengbo said that a number of documentaries showing the rich history and culture of Gansu Province, such as "Hexi Corridor," "Loess Plateau," and "Dunhuang Joy," have also frequently landed on CCTV, taking a sonorous and powerful step in building a major province into a documentary.
"An excellent literary and artistic work must be 'caught'." Wang Dengbo said: Gansu is a place where dramas are performed and cultural resources are enriched. A classic work first determines the subject matter, from the selection of materials to the selection of people, by whom to organize to the supporting measures, it is a systematic behavior, the work must be systematic, specially organized, so as to create a good work of art, this is to grasp the connotation of the word "grasp" in literary and artistic creation.

The long and profound historical and cultural accumulation has provided a prerequisite for the prosperity and development of literature and art in Gansu Province, but this does not mean that we can blindly "say that the ancients must be ancient, and the art must be classical", let alone lie on the merits of the ancestors and enjoy their achievements. Wang Dengbo said that the Longju opera "Love Song of the Official Goose", "Song of Maiji" and "Song of the Long Narrow Narrow" with distinctive Gansu characteristics are the high-quality repertoire created by the playwright Cao Rui of Gansu Province relying on the natural landscapes such as Guan'e Gou and Maijishan and the cultural heritage of "Ode to the Western Narrows".
The classic dance drama "Silk Road Flower Rain", "Dream of Dunhuang", the song "The Love of the People" and "Gansu Hometown", the tourism live performance "See Dunhuang Again", the drama "The First Bridge in the World", ...... Whether it is an enduring classic repertoire or a newly created repertoire, all of them are dressed in the dazzling costumes of Longyuan culture, and they appear on the stage of China and even the world.
"Why do all provinces attach great importance to the 'Five One Project' award, in fact, it is a kind of motivation, the mechanism of this award is to promote the creation of works of art, and there is no goal for the creation of a literary and artistic work, and there is no motivation." Wang Dengbo said: From a certain point of view, the "Five One Project" award is an affirmation of works of art and also an affirmation of the literary and artistic work in Gansu Province.

It is worth mentioning that a number of historical and cultural documentaries such as "Hexi Corridor", "Chinese Grotto Corridor" and "Decisive Battle of Lanzhou", as well as a number of small and medium-cost films with distinctive warm realism characteristics such as "Snow Buried", "Love in Zero Latitude" and "Fragrance", have won many awards in various professional awards, forming a unique "Gansu phenomenon".
Wang Dengbo said that new breakthroughs have been made in the creation of major TV dramas in Gansu, and the TV series "Hero's Banner," jointly produced by the Propaganda Department of the Gansu Provincial CPC Committee and the Gansu Provincial Federation of Literary and Art Circles, has the strength or conditions to impact the "Five One Project" award.
