Depicting poetry and painting in people's life——Writing on the occasion of the seventh anniversary of the "Chinese Poetry Conference"

  It has been seven years since the "Chinese Poetry Conference" was launched.

The past seven years have been the seven years in which the party and the country have continued to promote the inheritance and innovation of Chinese excellent traditional culture, and the seven years in which all sectors of society have responded to the call of the central government and vigorously promoted Chinese excellent traditional culture. Seven years of program connotation and innovation of program form.

In a sense, the past seven years of the "Chinese Poetry Conference" have been a time when the excellent traditional Chinese culture has continuously entered the spiritual world of ordinary people, entered the colorful contemporary life, and entered all aspects of contemporary Chinese social ideology. important epochal process.

  During this period, the "Chinese Poetry Conference" has experienced three stages of development.

In the first stage, through the fierce competition of the 100-person group, the wonderful interpretation of the guests will be appreciated, and the profound heritage of Chinese poetry will be displayed for the first time on the national media platform of China Central Radio and Television; in the second stage, it will gather many poetry lovers at home and abroad, Researchers and disseminators, let them stand on the national platform of the main station, and show the outstanding achievements of learning, researching and disseminating ancient poetry and their colorful poetic life to audiences around the world; in the third stage, get out of the small poetry competition On the stage, enter the daily life of the common people and the big stage of contemporary social and cultural construction, let the classic poems participate in shaping the daily life of the common people, participate in the construction of urban and rural aesthetic culture, and participate in the construction of Chinese excellent traditional culture with contemporary vision and historical connotation. The discourse system makes Chinese poetry a classic culture, aesthetic culture and fashion culture around the people.

  To achieve this goal, the "2022 Chinese Poetry Conference" has started three works with original value.

One is to ignite the theme of the times with a series of hot words. Each issue has a theme, which summarizes the current focus and conveys the spirit of the times.

For example, in the theme of "Meeting", "the same people are fallen from the end of the world, why do they know each other when they meet each other", it is the meeting of confidants, not seeking acquaintance, but seeking to know each other.

"Fish and water are together, and the situation is the world's best", is the meeting of the situation, which not only achieves each other's immortality, but also achieves the glory of an era.

"Face the wall for ten years and break the wall, it is difficult to pay the sea and also a hero" is the pursuit of revolutionaries and the encounter with the ideals and beliefs of the times.

The encounter that the program wants to convey is an expectation, a pursuit, and an ideal belief.

The program opens the literary and artistic vision to the great struggle of the people, extracts the theme from the changes of the times, the progress of China, and the call of the people, shows the beauty of Chinese history, the beauty of mountains and rivers, and the beauty of culture, and expresses the Chinese people's will to struggle, creativity, and development. fruit.

  The second is to reproduce the historical scene with short plays.

The innovative title "Poetry Theater" allows classic poems to communicate with the cultural relics displayed in the museum, and blends with the words sleeping in ancient books, connecting ancient and modern cultural interests, and making traditional culture alive.

The program transforms the poetic situations such as "April in the world is exhausted, peach blossoms in mountain temples begin to bloom", "green tree village borders, green hills and guo slopes" and other poems into video clips, showing the poet's state of mind and the background of poetry creation, allowing the audience to experience the situation. The emotion and wisdom of the ancients.

  The third is to carry "poetry in painting" with multiple life.

The program adheres to the people-centered creative orientation, depicts poetry and paintings in people's lives, and conveys poetic life to people's hearts.

By depicting the artistic conception of poetry on palace lanterns and fans, the program integrates poetry and painting into different media, appreciates the way of life of the ancients, and encourages audiences to create the poetry of life in their own way.

At the same time, the "folk writers" expressed their love for poetry and showed their poetry in colorful forms such as rock bonsai and dominoes.

The program builds a bridge for poetry through various forms of communication, combines the spirit of Chinese aesthetics with contemporary aesthetic pursuits, and activates the vitality of Chinese culture.

  Ancient poetry also plays a role in contemporary life.

"Walk to the poor place of water, sit and watch the clouds rise." This is the soothing rhythm between the mountains and rivers, conveying an open-minded attitude towards life.

"Amidst the colorful clouds of the White Emperor, a thousand miles of Jiangling will return in one day." This is a cheerful rhythm during the journey, showing a high-spirited state.

"Laughing in the sky and going out, how can I be a Penghao people?" is a unique attitude in life.

"Chinese sons and daughters have many lofty aspirations, but do not love red clothes and love armed forces" is a vigorous and upright spirit of the times.

These ancient poems are expressed when they are happy, encouraged when they are difficult, and integrated with people's lives.

  "There are talented people from generation to generation, each leading the way for hundreds of years." Jiangshan refers not only to mountains and rivers, but also to historical eras and generations of newcomers.

The trend of history is mighty, and each era has its own history, its own country, and its own heroes.

It is precisely because of the innovation and inheritance from generation to generation that we have the poetry and poetry of the Chinese nation, and we have the Great Wall of Culture of the Chinese nation.

I believe that there will be more programs like "Chinese Poetry Conference" in the future, which will combine poetry with life and integrate into the times, and make ancient poetry alive and new.
