(Observation of the Two Sessions) Why does the "national boom" continue to heat up from the artistic encounter to the humanistic acquaintance?
China News Service, Beijing, March 3 (Xu Wenxin and Wu Kan) From "Dragon Gate King Kong" to "Only Blue and Green", from the countdown of the twenty-four solar terms at the opening ceremony of the Beijing Winter Olympics to the "Love in the Willow" at the closing ceremony , the beautiful Chinese elements have amazed the world again and again.
With the frequent emergence of traditional Chinese culture, "national tide" has become a fashion and is very popular among young people.
On March 3, China News Agency and China News Service "Through Train for Two Sessions, Global Connection" invited overseas Chinese youth, overseas Chinese media operators, and "post-00" national style musicians to talk about the development of "national tide".
"More and more young people and traditional culture have formed a new 'national tide' phenomenon of two-way mutual advancement. On the one hand, traditional culture is loved by young people; on the other hand, young people are both recipients and creators, and they are helping While promoting the revival of traditional culture, it will give traditional culture more new connotations of the times." Mao Yancheng, director of the British Chinese Art Center, said in the connection.
Traditional culture and modern art meet because of the "national tide", and people of different ages and backgrounds go from meeting to knowing each other because of the "national tide".
Bian Jingting and Yang Xi of "The 416 Combination of Shanghai Opera" are not only fans of "national tide", but also creators.
With their professionalism in drama, they have gained a large number of Chinese and foreign fans on video sites.
The works of the older generation of drama artists are the foundation of their creation. In their view, only by keeping the foundations upright can innovation attract more young people.
According to Guo Rui, chairman of Thailand's Toutiao News Agency, foreigners are more and more chasing Chinese style, and Chinese people are more and more confident in all countries in the world, which makes the "national boom" continue to heat up.
"National Tide" integrates the latest trends with history and culture, and it also has countless fans overseas.
Guo Rui said: "Chinese film and television dramas, especially costume dramas, are very popular in Thailand, and a group of young Thais are keen to follow dramas, and therefore fall in love with Chinese culture; local young people also pursue modern Chinese elements, such as Chinese brand electronic products, Cash payment lifestyle etc.”
Guo Rui said that as an overseas Chinese-language media, we are committed to enabling overseas audiences to keep abreast of Chinese trends and the positive meaning contained in them.
"For example, Toutiao News in Thailand holds the annual People of the Year Awards Ceremony every year, and invites 'national tide' representatives such as starring actors of popular martial arts dramas and members of folk bands to Thailand to participate in the award ceremony, and related topics are on the local hot search list."
In Mao's view, there are two main ways for young British people to come into contact with Chinese culture, namely, Chinese festival culture and local Chinese schools.
"The way local people understand 'national tide' can be more diverse. For example, we can make good use of music, dance and other borderless and easily resonant elements, so that local people can understand and understand."
"The British people are very interested in art forms such as drama and musicals. We can try to bring more high-quality drama works that show Chinese culture to the UK; we can also plan more traditional Chinese festivals such as the Spring Festival and Mid-Autumn Festival. A situational theatrical evening, we invite outstanding artists from China and the UK to perform," said Mao Yancheng.
"National tide" as a trend, will there be a day of "low tide"?
Guo Rui believes: "The reason why the trend recedes is because it becomes old and can't keep up with the times, while the 'national tide' is rooted in the vitality of Chinese culture, which is fresh and constantly changing and developing. I believe that young people The cultural self-confidence of a generation will become stronger and stronger, and the national tide will become more and more popular."
In the eyes of Bian Jingting and Yang Xi, many "post-00s" like them have a soft spot for "national tide", and the pursuit of "national tide" and "national style" by young people has become a fashion, which is reflected in the way of life. In all aspects, the young generation should keep the cultural roots, have the courage to explore and innovate, and use practical actions to interpret their identification with traditional culture, so that the "national tide" can be brought to life in a new way.
"It is necessary to take into account both inheritance and innovation, in order to make the 'national trend' popular and sustainable." Mao Yancheng said that inheritance is not just obedience to the ancients, and innovation is not water without a source. It transforms the old forms of expression and gives them new ones. The connotation and expression of the era, and activating its vitality can make Chinese culture more modern.
