In an interview, Ma Xiaolin mentioned typical "actions" such as the popular cultural and creative products "Archaeological Blind Box" and "Out of the Circle" such as "Tang Palace Night Banquet" and "Only This Green", which are also hot topics widely concerned by the cultural and tourism circles and even the whole society. To this end, this newspaper adopted the method of "cloud connection", online interviews with two "key figures" who have a deep understanding of the front and back of the "Tang Palace Night Banquet" and "Only This Green" and other programs, to further observe how Wenbo people revitalize cultural relics with open thinking, promote the better integration of cultural relics into life, and serve the people.

Cultural interpretation Technology empowers all-media communication

"The sideburns want to be fragrant and snowy, and the clothes are fragrant and the shadows are sheng Tang." At the Spring Festival Gala in Henan in 2021, a scene "Night Banquet at the Tang Palace" showed the prosperous charm of Datang and was loved by the audience. In the following year, Henan Radio and Television Station produced a series of fine products all the way, launching the "Dragon Gate King Kong" that was both rigid and soft, wonderful and wonderful, and the "Luoshen Water Endowment" that danced with the water and danced with the clothes, which made many people marvel that ancient civilizations can be so vivid and vivid.

Lu Hongli, director of Henan Radio and Television Station, introduced: "We have made some attempts in the revitalization of cultural relics and artistic presentation, such as when creating "Tang Palace Night Banquet", we did not limit the stage to the theater, but used AR technology to open the performance space of Tang Palace Sister as a whole, and at the same time integrated more than 10 cultural relics in four categories into the program. After the program was broadcast, everyone not only expressed their admiration for the resurrection of the Tang warrior girls, but also were also very interested in the cultural relics hidden in the program. She believes that these elements also contribute to the secondary dissemination of the program, "The corresponding website has appeared some interpretations of the program itself and the cultural relics presented in the program, which brings a very large traffic to the secondary publicity and dissemination of the program." ”

Last year, the "China Festival" series produced by Henan Radio and Television Station also made a lot of explorations in the revitalization of cultural relics. Lu Hongli said that making cultural relics "alive" is a very important creative idea for the team in the middle of creation, she summarized 3 effective means: "First of all, there must be a correct cultural interpretation, our understanding of cultural relics and the correct interpretation of the history and cultural knowledge behind the cultural relics to ensure that the cultural information conveyed is accurate; the second is scientific and technological empowerment, that is, the means of presentation should be modern scientific and technological means, and aesthetics should be modern aesthetics; the third is the means of communication, and the communication should be disseminated with all-media thinking. In this way, cultural relics can be better 'fired', and it is easier for people to understand and accept the historical and cultural knowledge behind them. ”

During this year's Lantern Festival, Henan Radio and Television Station placed the entire program in the Henan Provincial Museum, using the treasure of the town hall in the Henan Provincial Museum as an introduction, leading to a "Lantern Wonderful Night" unfolded by cultural relics. The cultural relics such as Jia Hu Bone Flute, Wu Cao Jin Jian, Women's Good Owl Zun and Lotus Crane Square Pot interspersed in the program once again let the audience appreciate the beauty of antiquities and the rhyme of literature and history. Lu Hongli believes that by watching the program, the audience can understand these cultural relics and the stories behind the cultural relics, which is in line with the original intention of the team to create the program - to promote and disseminate the excellent traditional Chinese culture.

Lu Hongli said that during the two sessions this year, many deputies and committee members put forward effective suggestions for the revitalization and utilization of cultural relics. "Last year, our 'Chinese Festivals' series was loved by everyone, and this year we will continue to deepen our traditional culture and continue to do the 'Chinese Festivals' series." In the near future, Henan Satellite TV will also launch two seasonal programs on Chinese solar terms and Chinese inventions to interpret China's solar terms culture and promote the wisdom of the ancient working people on the mainland. Lu Hongli said.

The crossover works of fine art and performing arts pay tribute to splendid civilization

On the spring evening of CCTV this year, the legendary picture scroll "A Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains" was put on the stage, and the dance poetry drama "Only This Green" created by this inspiration has both poetry and painting, and the intriguing classical cultural ideas and oriental philosophical implications are blended, which not only interprets the poetry and painting wonders beyond ancient and modern times, but also provides a different way of thinking for the creation of stage art Chinese historical themes.

For the praise and heated discussion caused by the program, Jing Xiaoyong, secretary of the party committee and chairman of China Oriental Performing Arts Group, frankly said: "The creation of "Only This Green" is an 'extremely difficult jump'. As a masterpiece of Chinese landscape painting, "A Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains" has a high influence in the art world and the cultural and cultural circles. To express this painting in the form of a dance poetry drama, first of all, it is a cross-border between art disciplines - fine arts and performing arts, so the difficulty and novelty can be imagined. Being able to get the recognition of most audiences has given us a lot of encouragement. ”

The long-standing chinese excellent traditional culture provides a solid foundation for the further creation of the repertoire. Jing Xiaoyong said: "Everyone sees that the refinement of the title 'Only this green' is actually a symbol of green landscape in fine arts, and now through the dissemination and influence of the repertoire, it can even become a symbol of the aesthetics of the Song Dynasty." ”

Jing Xiaoyong also mentioned that "Only This Green" follows the principle of "people-centered production" and pays tribute to the great Chinese nation, China's excellent traditional culture and "craftsman spirit" through the repertoire. He said: "We want to introduce our glorious five-thousand-year-old civilization to home and abroad through the expression of this play. Through all the entry points of "A Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains", we analyze the material foundation, ideological foundation and artistic foundation that form this map, and integrate these clues in the play, and finally complete such a work that strengthens cultural self-confidence and enhances cultural self-confidence. ”

Jing Xiaoyong believes that the more important significance of "Only This Green" lies in its social benefits. Many viewers went to study "A Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains" because of their love for "Only This Green", studied the aesthetics of ancient China, and paid attention to the excellent traditional Chinese culture. "I think this effect is difficult to measure in terms of economic value, so I hope that the works that will be released in the future will have a more lasting, deeper and more valuable social impact," he said. ”
