Beijing News (reporter Zhang He) The short film "Tiangong Kai Everything" produced by Henan Satellite TV's "Guofeng Studio" was broadcast on Henan Satellite TV, Youku Video and Elephant News Client at 8:15 pm on October 18. As a sequel to "Divine Horse Wonderful Night", "Tiangong Kai Everything" carries out artistic creation and modern expression of the Ming Dynasty scientist Song Yingxing's book "Tiangong Kaiwu", starting from the Ru kiln, excavating the cultural inheritance of Chinese craftsmen with three dances, and feeling the spiritual core of Tiangong Kaiwu three hundred years later. The short film is only 4 minutes and 50 seconds, and many netizens said that it is "too short to watch".
"Tiangong Kai Everything" carries out artistic creation and modern expression of "Tiangong Kaiwu".
It is understood that "Tiangong Kaiwu" is the world's first comprehensive work on agricultural and handicraft production, mainly rooted in China's inherent cultural traditions. The book is divided into three volumes and 18 articles. It is accompanied by 123 illustrations depicting the names, shapes and processes of more than 130 production technologies and tools. This time, Henan Satellite TV's "Tiangong Kai All Things" takes "Tiangong Kaiwu" as the source, takes the "gold, wood, water, fire, and earth" in the five elements as the image, the five colors "yellow, green, white, red and black" as the color, the five sounds "Gongshang Jiao Zhengyu" as the rhythm, and the "dance" shows the skill, vividly restoring the three chapters of "Tao Yuan" (ceramics), "Hardware" and "Zhangshi" (dyeing) in "Tiangong Kaiwu".
"Tiangong Opens All Things" and "Tao Yuan" chapters.
The "Tiangong Kaiwu Tao Yuan" points out: "Water and fire are both economic and earthy. In the country of ten thousand rooms, there are not enough people in daily work, and civilian use is also complicated. "This is to say that the interaction of water and fire on clay is sintered into ceramics for daily use by the people." In the "Tao Wei" chapter of "Tiangong Kai All Things", the dancers dance with the mud and sand in the soil, and then dance on the water in a long azure dress, symbolizing the traditional handmade process of the Ru kiln, that is, the mud panning, stacking mud, and pulling the billet first, and the water, painting, glazing, and kiln as the back.
The second chapter, "Hardware", corresponds to the "Tiangong Kaiwu • Hardware" chapter, in which Song Yingxing first pointed out that zinc is a new metal and recorded its smelting methods. This is one of the important achievements in the history of ancient metal smelting in China, making China the only country in the world that can smelt zinc on a large scale for a long time. The actors quench the gold in the fire with dance, gold is born in the fire, quenching and flowing gold, highlighting the breadth and depth of traditional Chinese smelting technology, as well as China's ingenuity and leadership in technological progress and production development.
The last chapter, "Zhangshi", chooses weaving and dyeing, "the heavens are hanging on the image and the saints are like this, and the five colors are displayed in five colors." "In the program, through the use of cloth and the presentation of color, the fusion dance is alluded to the five colors in traditional Chinese ancient culture, that is, black and white plus three primary colors can be magically transformed into ten thousand colors."
Some netizens found that "Tiangong Opens All Things" seems to lack "wood" in the five elements. It is understood that this is actually a "cultural meme" buried by the director team. For example, the protagonist of the film is Ru kiln, and the scope of Ru porcelain firing is very narrow, called:"Ten kilns and nine failures", and the finished product shows "azure blue". There is a poem: "The rain passes through the sky where the clouds break, such a color will do the future"; Jay Chou's song "Blue and White Porcelain" in "Azure and other smoke and rain, and I am waiting for you." "All statements. Cyan is the characteristic of the Ru kiln, and cyan belongs to wood in the five elements, so the big protagonist of the whole film is the hidden "wood".
"Tiangong Opens All Things" expresses Chinese aesthetics.
It is reported that Xue Fen, the general director of "Tiangong Kai All Things", has served as the executive director of the 2021 Henan Spring Festival Gala "White Armor" program, the general director of the 2021 Henan Satellite TV Juhua Shenma Wonderful Night, and the director of the original program "Dream Tianma". General director Shi Rui has participated in the production of Henan Satellite TV's "Chinese Character Hero", "Shaolin Hero" and other variety shows. The shooting executive team of "Tiangong Kai Everything" is the main filming team of the "Chinese Festival" series, and has filmed the widely circulated "Shaolin Hero" theme song mv. Makeup stylist Wang Yan is also the main makeup artist of the "Chinese Festival" series, and the makeup styling of "Dragon Boat Festival", "Dragon Gate King Kong", "Dream Pegasus", "Shaolin Kung Fu" and other programs come from this, which is very Chinese aesthetic expression. Most of the dancers of "Tiangong Kai Everything" are from the Beijing Dance Academy, and the two lead actors, Li Jiaxi and Qi Ye, are excellent dancers in the domestic Chinese classical dance major.
"Tiangong Kai All Things" takes the unity of all things, all things and the opening of all things as the core, and integrates dance narrative and original Chinese style music. Reflecting the present, the spiritual core of "Tiangong Kaiwu" three hundred years later is also inherited from China's manufacturing industry, that is, the great country's wisdom and craftsmanship behind the modern factory.
