The dance "Only this Youth" is based on the famous painting "A Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains" in the Northern Song Dynasty. It perfectly interprets the painting art of the Song Dynasty through the scenes of waiting, looking at the moon, thinking, walking alone, dangerous peaks and lying on rocks, giving people the enjoyment of beauty and the edification of art.
"Only this youth" dance not only has poetic aesthetic conception, but also has the painting techniques of China in Song Dynasty. However, a few strokes are rich in the beauty of China's paintings in Song Dynasty, because they are simple, gentle and subtle, but they do not lose their atmosphere! The dance action "Wei Qing" makes full use of the simple, gentle and implicit purpose of painting in Song Dynasty, and greatly promotes and inherits the classical culture of China!
The author of "A Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains" is Wang Ximeng. When Wang Ximeng was called into the academy, his painting skills were not recognized by Huizong Zhao Ji at first, but he had great potential, so Huizong personally taught and guided him, and his painting skills advanced by leaps and bounds. At the age of eighteen, he painted a picture of Crossing a Thousand Miles and presented it to Hui Zong. Hui Zong was so satisfied with the painting that he gave it to Cai Jing.
"A Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains" is now in the Palace Museum, and the silk version is colored, which is an outstanding representative of ancient green landscape painting. Wang Ximeng reached the summit with a national map of thousands of miles. On that magnificent picture, green hills, waterfalls, huts and fishermen's pedestrians are all telling the dreams and glory of talented teenagers.
After he was eighteen, he quietly disappeared in that era. It seems that he was born for this painting, and then he hasn't been heard from.
