"Okay, Dunhuang culture, I was just about to say it."
Luo Shiyao's eyes lit up.
"Don't worry, this is it, or we can meet and chat."
Li Jinglin just finished speaking.
Then I heard Commander Shen say.
"Don't make extra trips. Since we all think it's good to do Dunhuang cultural programs, let's meet directly in Dunhuang."
"also."
Being used to Commander Shen's straightforwardness, Li Jinglin and Luo Shiyao both agreed.
It's just that the old Tang man was a little confused.
Good guy.
Just made a decision.
Just go directly?
"So urgent?"
"Well, just go there. I'll contact the Dunhuang Cultural Research Institute now."
Just as Old Tang was in a daze.
The three of them settled down.
We will fly to Dunhuang that night.
“Good guy”
Tell the truth.
It was the first time that Old Tang had seen the planning and implementation carried out so smoothly.
However, I couldn't help but think about it.
You should also learn to implement this kind of speed when promoting some things on your own side. Otherwise, if discussions, copywriting, and ink are all messed up for a long time without being able to finalize the project, someone will take the spotlight away from you.
Go to Dunhuang.
This matter is a huge temptation that is difficult to refuse for both Luo Shiyao and Li Jinglin.
Whether it's music, art, or dance.
Dunhuang culture is a link that cannot be bypassed.
No matter what kind of master he is, no matter how well-informed he is, when he truly understands Dunhuang art and culture on a large scale and thoroughly, he will basically shout out two words.
Outrageous.
Because Dunhuang culture has been a unique artistic beauty throughout the world for thousands of years.
From the artistic field, whether it is music, art, dance.
There is no one like him.
It can basically be said that it is a legacy of the most powerful art and culture field in the world.
Speaking of art museums across the world.
Western art museums may think of the Louvre, the Belt and Road, the Vatican Museums, and the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.
But compared to the East, these museums are almost nothing worth mentioning.
Even if it contains a large number of Chinese cultural relics that were plundered in the past.
Speaking of art museums in the Eastern world.
The most powerful one is only Dunhuang.
【only】
Recognized as the first.
after all.
No museum was built from the 4th century AD to the 11th century AD and continues to this day.
Dun is great, brilliant and prosperous.
Mogao Grottoes is in Dunhuang, just like Chang'an is in the prosperous Tang Dynasty. Although it is not the whole story, it can be used as a distinct representative.
It is just a Thousand Buddha Cave in Mogao Grottoes.
Built and replenished by countless generations of people.
It has preserved 735 caves from the 4th century to the 11th century AD, more than 3,000 painted sculptures, 45,000 square meters of murals, and five wooden buildings from the Tang and Song Dynasties.
Tens of thousands of red scrolls contain rich literature resources.
Chinese, ancient Tibetan, Uighur, Khotanese, Kucha, Sogdian, and Sanskrit.
The content covers a wide range of fields such as politics, economy, military, philosophy, religion, literature, ethnicity, folklore, language, history, science and technology, etc.
More than 50,000 documents were unearthed, 70% of which were lost overseas.
Not just big.
It is even more "prosperous".
Chinese, Indian, Islamic, and European cultures.
All meet here.
The Silk Road began to develop during the Qin and Han Dynasties two thousand years ago.
It laid the foundation for Dunhuang and the beginning of development since the Three Kingdoms.
After experiencing the tragedy of the Five Husties, the great split between the Southern and Northern Dynasties, starting from the Sui Dynasty, it entered the glory of the Tang Dynasty and the Wu Zhou Dynasty.
The darkness and desolation of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms ended with the Song Dynasty, and a great dynasty was once again established.
in the ups and downs of history.
Dunhuang is a fusion of Chinese culture and the culture of all ethnic groups in the Western Regions, which are constantly integrating and developing.
This is a cultural symbol that brings tears to my eyes whenever I think of it.
Proud, ashamed, sad, happy.
It embodies the cultural fusion of the world and the joys and sorrows of thousands of years.
"Why bamboo flute complain willow, spring is not degree Pass."
"The yellow sand wears golden armor in a hundred battles, and Loulan will never be returned until it is broken."
It’s not just poetry recited by the ancients.
There are many towers in the pure land of the world.
Donkey meat yellow noodles, Yuqian wine and dates.
Wearing a silk bun, a crown, and a collar around the neck.
From food, clothing, housing and transportation.
In every aspect.
All have the unique charm evolved from the ancient people's active integration of the culture of the Western Regions.
Li Jinglin thinks.
In the current cultural propaganda, we should not only focus on the traditional culture and traditional arts that everyone is accustomed to, and should not only focus on the "stereotypical" Chinese style.
Dunhuang culture is also Chinese culture.
But when Dunhuang music is played, some people think it is like Persian music, some people think it is like Indian music, and even Western music.
But actually.
This is also a kind of Chinese style music, music of China.
Therefore, the two of them hit it off.
Within a few days, we arrived in Dunhuang.
"How about it? Do you have any specific ideas? Is it possible that we also want to do Tiangong music and dance, Dunhuang flying to the sky?"
As soon as we met.
Li Jinglin couldn't help but ask.
"No, anyway, I somewhat refuse to fly to the sky."
Luo Shiyao couldn't help but complain.
When it comes to Dunhuang dance.
That was the flying ones, and the flying dancers themselves were a little annoyed.
Dunhuang dance.
It is one of the schools of Chinese classical dance.
Luo Shiyao's main focus is classical dance and folk dance.
However, there is really too much content in these two major dance genres.
Just a branch of classical dance, there are too many small dance types in Dunhuang dance.
In addition to the Tiangong music and dance in the paintings, the folk songs and dances gradually explored in the evolution of murals
Hu Xuan dance, Hu Teng dance, Zhezhi dance, and colorful feather clothes dance are also very important parts.
The style of movement is based on traditional Chinese aesthetics and focuses on expressing the dance postures of the Western Regions.
The culture of the Western Regions is a multi-ethnic fusion with a huge time span.
There are so many places to explore.
And there are more than just "flying".
Therefore, when faced with such an opportunity, Luo Shiyao really didn't want to continue playing Feitian.
"Actually, I think the idea of Lao Tang's show is to fragment a large-scale dance drama into a variety show. The content of the dance drama itself has not changed much. It just uses the separate dance segments as a single program, and the entire dance drama , made into several issues of the variety show.”
Li Jinglin pinched his chin.
He pondered.
"Well, actually the difference in content production is not very big, but the playback and viewing formats have been revolutionized."
"Well, don't say it, it's true."
Captain Shen nodded thoughtfully.
Very similar, but not quite.
Dance drama is usually performed on a large offline stage for one or two hours, telling a large-scale story.
This thing requires time, money, and waiting for the theater to open.
Therefore, the breadth of communication is particularly low.
But if you take the large-scale dance drama apart.
Using gorgeous dance numbers as a program, it is divided into many periods of variety shows to perform
Tsk tsk.
At once, the content can still be a dance drama with real cultural connotations, but it can also be transformed into a novel form that is more suitable for Internet dissemination and is more suitable for dissemination among young people.
soon.
The group of people arrived at the institute.
Started researching some documents and academic materials stored in local research institutes.
And visit some cultural relics up close.
Among the cultural relics, there are many Buddhist cultural relics.
See these artifacts.
Li Jinglin couldn't help but think of the "Maha Doule" he borrowed from the Daxiangguo Temple at the intangible cultural heritage exhibition.
"Dunhuang culture and Buddhist culture are deeply involved, but I think the Buddhist content should be downplayed in the program."
"Oh? How do you say that?"
"Mainly because of some film and television dramas, the Internet, and some real-life monk issues. In fact, many people have more or less stereotypes and prejudices against Buddha."
Li Jinglin frowned slightly.
"So I feel that at this juncture, it is not convenient to emphasize Buddhist culture."
Hearing Li Jinglin's words.
Shen Tuan also pondered thoughtfully.
In fact, Chinese Buddhism is a philosophy based on Chinese thinking.
Buddhist myths and legends are also deeply Chinese.
And Buddhism and Taoism are integrated.
However, Taoists generally "show off, don't bother to care about you, and do nothing", and they also pay attention to "fate", and the threshold for income is extremely high.
Buddhism, on the other hand, emphasizes "saving oneself and saving others" and also talks about "all living beings", so the threshold for recruiting people is low.
Therefore, there is a huge difference in base numbers.
The base number is large, and the good and the bad are naturally mixed.
When there are too many people making trouble, the original excellent Buddhist thoughts will be maliciously interpreted and used as excuses, which will naturally lead to prejudice.
It's quite similar to the literary and art industry.
It is all the big guys who are practicing and studying, but the little red guy is doing things crazily, causing the public's impression of him to become worse.
Buddhism emphasizes enlightenment, the realm of the other side, facing oneself, and the Buddha who practices Buddhism is not the Buddha of some immortal Buddha.
In fact, the original meaning of Buddha is "enlightened one".
It is a human being, not a god, it is just an improvement in the realm of thought.
The meaning of the sentence "Put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha immediately".
It should be "the sinner has faced up to his sins, put down the butcher's knife, is willing to accept punishment and retribution, and has awakened. Then at this time, the sinner becomes an awakened person."
Change it to something simple to understand, that is
A sinner's awakening means having the courage to inflict upon himself a thousand times the pain of the evil he has committed and to perform thousands of good deeds in order to save himself.
It does not mean that if you let go of the butcher's knife, you will become a Buddha and cancel all your past sins.
There is no such truth in Buddhism. Rather, it is quite ruthless when it comes to atonement for sins.
You have to go through at least the eighteenth level of Avici Hell.
On the contrary, it is the Abi hell in Buddhism, which means endless hell, which means "if you commit sins, you will suffer endlessly."
And after some junk concepts were stolen.
This caused problems with word-of-mouth, and the original meaning was tampered with.
And how much do the public understand about this?
If you open your mouth to spread rumors, you will break your legs if you try to refute them.
Especially for this program, it should be more focused on entertainment attributes.
Cultural attributes must be preserved.
But don’t be too esoteric.
Therefore, Li Jinglin feels that under such circumstances, too many Buddhist elements should not be introduced, and it is better to downplay them as much as possible.
"Then you have an idea?"
"have."
The visit is complete.
Everyone also has their own ideas.
After exchanging some ideas with each other.
Shen Tuan also reminded Li Jinglin.
""Dancing for a Thousand Years". This scope is indeed a bit broad, so the series of musical works must also be centered around this."
"Alin, you should also take this into consideration when composing music."
Hear what Shen Tuan said.
Li Jinglin frowned and nodded slightly.
"Well, since it is an entertainment program that covers the entire history and traditional culture of China, it is also called "Dancing for a Thousand Years". Then the collection of dance works and music works, why not call it "Five Stars Out of the East"?"
"Huh? This is good!"
Shen Tuan was stunned for a moment, then nodded with satisfaction.
This sentence.
In fact, the words were spoken one thousand seven hundred years ago.
It sounds outrageous to say, but it is true.
The concept of China was recorded on bronze vessels more than 3,000 years ago.
And one thousand seven hundred years ago.
"Shu Brocade" spread from Shu to the Western Regions and was buried in the wind and sand of the former site of Jingjue Kingdom.
It was dug out by later generations.
The words above read "Five stars from the East benefit China".
It's a bit outrageous.
Moreover, the literal meaning is what is understood at first glance.
The entire content of this paragraph.
It is even more passionate and sharp!
“The five stars coming out of the east will benefit China!
Fight against the Southern Qiang, the four barbarians surrender, and the Chanyu surrenders!
Wuji with the sky! "
Just a few words.
It is very consistent with Chinese culture.
The earth is the five elements, and the sky is the five stars.
Fortune, wealth, longevity and joy, metal, water, wood, fire and earth, the five stars shining brightly are auspicious stars shining brightly.
It is also the star of Chen, Taibai, Yinghuo, Suixing and Zhenxing.
It implies the culture and knowledge of Chinese literature.
"Besides, this is a very auspicious sign."
Li Jinglin chuckled.
It seemed like he remembered something.
He smacked his lips and couldn't help but tut twice.
"Tsk, tsk."
"Speaking of which, there were several times in history when the five stars came out of the east and the five stars converged. It's quite metaphysical."
"Huh? Do you believe this stuff?"
Captain Shen raised his eyebrows.
"I can't help but believe it. History bears witness."
Li Jinglin curled his lips.
The five stars that emerged from the East recorded in Chinese history were all accompanied by major events, and these events often led to great unification and prosperity.
"In 185 BC, there was a standard five-star appearance in the eastern astrology, which happened to be when Empress Lu was weighing the pheasant and killing the young emperor, and the astrology at that time was in the position of the five-star with extremely negative energy."
"The Five Stars came out of the East in 710, but the stars were different from those of Empress Lu. They were exactly the two extremes of the Yin Qi. As a result, Wu Zetian passed away at this time. Empress Wei responded to the celestial phenomena and thought she was going to take off and kill Zhongzong. But in the same year, the hot-tempered man Li Longji rose up and emerged, ushering in the prosperous Kaiyuan era."
Li Jinglin’s words.
Luo Shiyao and Shen Tuan's eyes immediately widened when they heard this.
I even wondered if Li Jinglin was bragging.
How could it be such a coincidence? !
"The most recent five-star mission to the east was in 1921. I flatter the destiny. I don't need to say more."
Li Jinglin shrugged.
The words he said directly burned the CPUs of both of them.
"The next time the Five Stars will come out of the East will be in 2040, Shen Tuan, think about it for yourself, and then look at our current development progress and national rejuvenation, don't you feel a little scared to think about it?"
"Hey?! Hiss!"
Shen Tuan's eyes widened.
Take a breath.
"When you put it like that, it's really a bad idea to ride a horse."
The music is already on the playlist.
"Five Stars Out of the East", if you want to watch the dance, you can search "The Call of the Ancients" on Station B
