Show the grandeur of the country with the femininity of women. This drama, inspired by a thousand miles of mountains and rivers, is deeply painted in the process of creation. The painting is a silk color painting created by Wang Ximeng in the Northern Song Dynasty and is now in the Forbidden City. On the screen, the smoke waves are vast and the mountains are undulating. There are fishing villages, markets, waterside pavilions, thatched cottages and long bridges with water mills. There is movement in the silence, fishing and rocking boats on the river. Going to the market, wandering in the mountain road, playing, vividly. Birds can spread their wings and fly with pens. Vast and boundless. Nature's uncanny workmanship reappears in the painter's works: reflecting nature with ordinary and daily life and labor scenes; Describe the actual landscape with colors that are invisible in reality, such as azurite and stone green, to reflect the ideal society. The whole picture divides the theme into several relatively independent units, which are naturally coherent. Step by step, change the scene. The picture is ups and downs and has a strong sense of rhythm. This is the basis for the transformation of painting language into dance language and painting art into dance today. Wang Ximeng is regarded as a gifted boy. He created this painting at the age of 18, which is one of the top ten classical paintings in China. The whole dance poetic drama "Wei Qing" seems to let us go through history and return to the Northern Song Dynasty. With the theme of "exhibition, seal cutting, silk singing, stone searching, pen learning, ink quenching and painting", the story of Wang Ximeng's creation of "A Thousand Miles of Mountains and Rivers" is reproduced, that is, the green and green colors in "A Thousand Miles of Mountains and Rivers" are extracted and abstracted into a female character image. In the Spring Festival Evening of the Year of the Tiger, only one group dance was selected, thousands of miles away, and the weather was magnificent. There is softness in rigidity, tenderness like water, getting better and better, and beauty is the ultimate.
Restore the "green" rhythm on the screen with dance rhythm.
The misty rivers and rolling mountains in the painting are full of rhythm and have something in common with dance. The "turquoise" in Only this turquoise is a color, but it has been transformed into a "role", and she has become a "character image". The lead dancer thought, "My role in the whole play is turquoise." What are the characteristics of "turquoise" characters? -it is pure freehand brushwork. The "turquoise" in the dance is as imposing as the "turquoise" in Wang Ximeng's "A Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains". Freehand brushwork is different from portrait. Freehand brushwork does not pursue the similarity of things, that is, it does not care about the external fidelity of artistic images, but pursues the similarity of spirit, that is, it emphasizes its internal spiritual essence. Freehand brushwork is a creative technique, which originated from painting creation in the Northern Song Dynasty. There are similarities and differences between "turquoise" and "only this turquoise" contained in the map of a thousand miles across the country. "Only this piece of green" is "freehand brushwork", which expresses her meaning and sustenance through dance language. Traditional culture advocates the idea of "harmony between man and nature" and "Taoism and nature", and pursues the harmonious relationship between man and nature. Pursue beautiful and pleasing natural beauty and integrate it with humanistic beauty. This idea is contained in Wang Ximeng's landscape paintings and the dance Only Green. Dancers, with their diverse dances, finally merged into a green mountain, vividly and innovatively restored and reproduced the famous painting "A Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains" in the Northern Song Dynasty.
Watching dance, like reading poetry, requires rich imagination. There are similarities between freehand brushwork and misty poetry. Only this kind of green is both freehand brushwork and misty poetry, so when you appreciate it, you should open your imagination, just like reading a poem from a picture. A few years ago, China Oriental Performing Arts Group conceived to create a work showing the charm of China's traditional culture, looking for themes in classic paintings such as Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival, Night Banquet by Han Xizai and Scenery of a Thousand Miles. The last inspiration comes from the latter. What is the reason? -turned out to be "turquoise". The picture of a thousand miles of mountains and rivers inherits the painting method of "green mountains and green waters" since Sui and Tang Dynasties, with green as the main tone and diverse techniques. The color is rich or light, and the color is as bright as a gem. According to an expert who has only worked as a cultural consultant for this turquoise, when shooting "A Thousand Miles of Mountains and Rivers", the turquoise on the screen actually glowed like a gem when the light gradually dimmed. Therefore, "turquoise" is naturally recognized as the key to open the painter's spiritual world. From "Turquoise" to the world of works creation, the audience appreciates her, or should we enter from "Turquoise" to appreciate its beauty. Dance is used to live a "thousand miles". From painting to dancing, from dancing to painting, it can be described as "beautiful". The dance language of Only this Turquoise is absolutely beautiful. For example, the first appearance of the figure "turquoise" is "double sleeves drooping", and the flow of that kind of power is like the texture of a mountain swimming, and it is like a waterfall flowing down from the mountain; Dance language, together with background language, atmosphere language and so on, provides us with unlimited imagination space. The collective gestures of dancers are all artistic expressions of beauty. From the abstract action, we can see the establishment of one image after another: a figure slowly turns around, as if seeing a mountain approaching. A group of image modeling, as if feeling fishing boats and cruise ships swaying in it, and then the mountains danced. When the posture of a group of actors changes, it seems that the microwave water ripples gently, and Shan Lan fluctuates in the mountains.
After 900 years, we met in the depths of our hearts. From the presentation of the green landscape in A Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains, we can feel the political, economic, social, cultural and ideological development of the Northern Song Dynasty. This painting is a long scroll, and the real natural scenery is particularly closely combined with the real people's activities, showing a broader social life. Wang Ximeng was a student of the Academy of Painting, and Song Huizong Evonne was a teacher at that time. He has a unique eye: "I wish my son could teach", so he taught him the method himself. After Zhao Bei's teaching, his skills improved. As an emperor, Hui Zong's aesthetic taste became the absolute standard to determine his artistic style. A Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains, painted by Wang Ximeng in half a year, depicts rivers and mountains, which not only shows the vastness of mountains, water and sky, but also carefully outlines the endless realm of secluded rocks, deep valleys, waves and haze. It not only represents the mileage of green landscape development; Moreover, it combines the achievements of ink and wash landscapes since the Northern Song Dynasty and puts the creator's emotions into his creation. "Only this Green" is a very "literary" program with a bit of Chun Xue flavor. Before stepping onto the stage, the creative team expressed their concerns and doubts, fearing that the audience would not accept it, get recognition and get * * *. Unexpectedly, as soon as he appeared, he was extraordinary and became an instant hit. Why? In the words of the media: "The magnificent mountains and rivers and green waters of thousands of miles have hit the hearts of the world again after 900 years." In my opinion, this is the recognition and return of Chinese excellent culture, returning to the "root" to absorb nutrients and returning to the "root" to create. The Northern Song Dynasty was a strange and wonderful dynasty, which was poor politically and militarily, but developed culturally. Song Huizong can't govern the country, and his cultural and artistic achievements can't be underestimated. He has made great achievements in calligraphy, painting and gardening. Thousands of miles of rivers and mountains are related to Song Huizong, or to the culture at that time. Her paintings not only answer the question of "man and society", but also answer the question of "man and nature": man and nature live in harmony. This concept is not backward until today, as experts say: "It represents a time and atmosphere precipitated by China's traditional culture, and it also represents our cultural self-confidence."
Just looking at green is a spiritual encounter!
