From "Zongmu" to "Sky Eye" "National Treasure" tells the Chinese people's 3000 years of constant exploration and lofty heart
On the evening of January 31, the third season of "National Treasure" arrived as scheduled.
Many viewers have long looked forward to this program, because it entered the "super internet celebrity" of the cultural and expo world-Sanxingdui Museum in Guanghan, Sichuan.
Because of the advancement and mystery of Sanxingdui, the alternative and weirdness of human heads, there are endless speculations and imaginations about "Sanxingdui civilization and aliens".
This program features Liu Haocun, Da Zhangwei, and Zhang Jin as the guardians of national treasures. Lei Yu, director of the Sanxingdui Site Workstation of the Sichuan Provincial Institute of Cultural Relics and Archaeology, Jiang Peng, chief engineer of the FAST “Tianyan” project, and Liang Xuzhong, former director of the Sichuan Provincial Administration of Cultural Heritage Under the narration, lead the audience to interpret the past and present of the golden battle, the bronze longitudinal eye mask and the No. 1 bronze sacred tree one by one, and jointly feel how the ancient Shu ancestors used brilliant and magnificent creations, adding a grand and magnificent imagination to the childhood imagination of the Chinese nation Poetic.
Since the launch of "National Treasure", it has continued to systematically organize and interpret the results of Chinese archaeology on TV. In the process of leading the audience to explore the unknown and reveal the origin, it brings together the long-standing cultural genes of the Chinese nation and the current hot reality. , To provide strong support for promoting excellent traditional culture and enhancing cultural self-confidence.
The biggest highlight of this episode is the linking of the two Chinese exploration phases of "Zongmu" and "Sky Eye" looking up at the starry sky. They pay tribute to the long-sighted and unchanging ambition of exploring the sky in the similarity of traversing three thousand years of time.
We are a generation that grows under the gaze of "Zong Eye" and the light of "Sky Eye"
3200 years ago, the ancestors of ancient Shu gathered and scattered the civilizations of the east and the west, and all kinds of good fortune were gathered in one place, creating the ancient Sanxingdui civilization on the mysterious 30-degree north latitude line.
Because there is no written guidance, there are too many puzzles in Sanxingdui to get accurate answers, but people can understand the original intention of the Chinese nation to seek the world from the cultural relics: the ancients put the majestic mountains and seas and the vast universe into one. Amidst the sacred bronze tree, they built their own worldview; they made the mask’s eyes very long and ears very big, and they seemed to want to use their “super powers” to see and hear further; Living seriously, and eager to communicate with people and gods, understand the sun, moon and stars above your head, the golden crow standing on Fusang, the peculiar eye-shaped device, the sun wheel shaped like a steering wheel... all of us today can see their yearning for the sky. .
Some netizens once created science fiction stories with Sanxingdui as the background, thinking that "the golden rod is the only key to unlock the second space of the universe."
Faced with this lovely imagination, Lei Yu, director of the Sanxingdui Site Workstation of the Sichuan Provincial Institute of Cultural Relics and Archaeology, responded in the program: "I can say responsibly that Sanxingdui culture is definitely not an alien civilization, it is on the land of China at the same time. The local civilization with the most distinctive personality is an important part of the pluralistic integration of Chinese civilization."
From ignorance to civilization, mankind begins by looking up at the stars.
The "Zongmu" represents the initial stage of the ancient Shu people who viewed the sky with their eyes three thousand years ago; and the "Sky Eye", as the latest achievement in the development of radio telescopes, finally made the ancestors' imagination of the ancestors a powerful weapon in the country. Chinese astronomers have the opportunity to stand at the forefront of human vision.
How is such a huge eye created?
This issue of "National Treasures" uses a lot of space, focusing on combining the narration of Jiang Peng, the chief engineer of the FAST "Sky Eye" project, and a short film tribute to "Father of the Sky Eye" Mr. Nan Rendong, looking back at this "humanity has never realized The plan" is the breakthrough course of opening roads in the mountains and building bridges in water.
Under the leadership of Mr. Nan Rendong, FAST started in 1994, and it took 13 years for the site selection alone.
In Dawodai, Pingtang County, Guizhou Province, the entire team lived in a very simple shed. They drank water that was not hygienic. They had eczema and were stung by ants. They were all difficulties they had to face.
Due to karst topography, large equipment cannot enter the site, and all construction methods can only be artificial. The builders are either on the mountainside or on the cliffs.
A 500-meter-diameter ring beam, 6670 steel cables, 4,450 reflective surface units with a single area of 50 square meters... They were spliced piece by piece like building blocks, so a foreign friend once said, “Only Chinese Can do FAST".
On September 25, 2016, China Sky Eye was completed.
On October 10, 2017, it found the pulsar signal for the first time, but Mr. Nan Rendong died of worsening condition 25 days ago, and failed to see this scene.
When I heard Nan Lao talk about this great cause in a hoarse voice in the short film of the show, his persistence, his tenacity, and his belief in "stepping through mediocrity" in order to explore the universe deeply affected every audience.
Following the unchanging ambition for thousands of years, and stepping into the unknown world, this is the end of the dream and the beginning of the dream.
At the scene of the show, Jiang Peng shared his thoughts on Zongmu as a member of the "Sky Eye" with a poetic expression: "Sanxingdui is too far away from us, so far as to look at these strange shapes, we might even doubt it. Whether it was the way we came, and these strange-looking pairs of "Zongmu" are actually young us. Through it, we hope to carry the mission of mankind and explore more unknowns in the universe."
Starting from dialectical materialism and historical materialism, convey cultural confidence with "Chinese style"
In recent years, my country's archaeological work has made major achievements.
Strengthen the dissemination of archaeological achievements and historical research results, educate and guide the broad masses of cadres, especially young people, to understand the historical context of the origin and development of Chinese civilization, to recognize the brilliant achievements of Chinese civilization, to recognize the major contributions of Chinese civilization to human civilization, and to continuously enhance national cohesion , National pride is the glorious mission given to cultural workers by the times.
This season's "National Treasures" focuses on the nine historical and cultural heritages on the land of China, and uses an immersive experience tour of "speaking of civilization in the birthplace of civilization and history in the place where history occurs" to vividly explore the formation of Chinese civilization And its contribution to the world.
Compared with other heritage sites that have been broadcast in "National Treasure", the Sanxingdui civilization is too special.
Except for myths and legends such as "Shan Hai Jing", historical materials hardly record this ancient civilization directly.
To a certain extent, this also poses a huge challenge to the interpretation of the theme of this issue of "National Treasure". Starting from dialectical materialism and historical materialism, the program launches bold associations and reasonable speculations in the "Legend of Past Life", and at the same time The "Story of This Life" focuses on the extension of the Chinese spirit and the mutual learning of diverse civilizations, showing a vivid realistic perspective and a broad international perspective.
As the audience can see, derived from the fish and mallard patterns of the two tribes in Shu area involved on the golden rod, Liu Haocun became an elf and witnessed the love story of "fish" and "flying bird" between the two tribes and prayed. May there be no more hatred and conquest; the previous legend of the bronze zong-eye mask occurred in 2021, and the annual "Sanxingdui Mask Carnival Night" is about to be held. The mask serves as a transversal artifact of "hope and ghost, guardian of life and death". The band members played by Zhang Wei understand the value of cherishing family affection; in ancient times, the ancestors of ancient Shu lived in the valleys of the upper reaches of the Minjiang River to survive. The character played by Zhang Jin led the tribe to overcome difficulties and obstacles under the guidance of the divine bird. A warm and livable new home... Although these stories are as full of fantasy as the "Shan Hai Jing", they are about the everlasting love and beauty of the Chinese, their relatives and their homes.
In the process of telling the story of this life, "National Treasure" also carried out vivid techniques, multiple perspectives, and profound interpretations. For example, Leiyu speculated from the "three-legged pottery cooker" that the people of Sanxingdui at that time also ate hot pot, "very interesting It may be the originator of Sichuan hot pot", so that the distant Sanxingdui people have the temperature of life at once; the program created a special gift by collecting the sound of the pulsar signal detected by the "eye of the sky" to accompany the audience to appreciate the depth of the universe. The "Stars Band" at the place, the audience exclaimed, "The seemingly quiet starry sky is actually talking to us all the time. This is the heartbeat of the universe." When talking about the overseas charm of Sanxingdui culture, in addition to connecting with the original director of Seattle Art Museum Ms. Mi Gates and Xu Jie, curator of the Asian Art Museum of San Francisco, the show will also include the Sumerian and Sanxingdui sacred trees, the Vietnamese Yuzhang and Sanxingdui Yuzhang, the Seattle football team logo and the Sanxingdui bronze bird head, An interesting comparison between the piglet in "The Little Bird" and the pottery piglet unearthed near Sanxingdui.
The presentation of common choices across time and space has brought closer closeness between different cultures.
After the broadcast of this episode, netizens rushed to repost and praise the two golden phrases: "Sanxingdui culture is more like a compass for us to deeply explore the diverse patterns of Chinese civilization." "The beautiful universe and space beckon us with its mystery and splendor. Step through mediocrity."
"National Treasure" is expressed in three-dimensional and profound television, and continuously conveys the cognition that Chinese civilization and other civilizations in the world can communicate with each other, exchange and learn from each other, and contribute to the world a profound ideological system, rich technological, cultural and artistic achievements, and uniqueness. The creation of the system has profoundly affected the progress of world civilization.
Only when the cultural relics collected in the museum, the heritage displayed on the vast land, and the words written in the ancient books are all alive and going to the world, can we continue to carry forward the spiritual blood of the Chinese nation, pass it on and protect it from generation to generation.
