A dance drama called The Journey of a Legendary Landscape Painting was shown on CCTV’s Spring Festival Gala in 2022. It became popular overnight.
According to CCTV, this dance drama got the idea from a Chinese painting—A Panorama of Rivers and Mountains(《千里江山图》), which was created by Wang Ximeng when he was about 18 years old. He was a painter in the Song Dynasty.
A Panorama of Rivers and Mountains is the only extant(尚存的) work by Wang. Now the painting is in the collection of the Palace Museum. The painting records people’s lives and natural scenery(景色) including mountains, rivers and villages of that time.
The dance drama tells the story of a researcher who has worked hard to study the painting. By chance, the researcher travels back in time to see the moment when Wang was about to finish the work. As the painting was finished, the researcher guides the audience(观众) into the world of the painter. The dance drama provides the audience with a new experience to better learn about the work.
It shows the process of how the painting was done. The dancers each have a different hairstyle, which looks like a mountain rock. The clothes that they wear are green and blue, which is also a poetic show of the mountains and rivers. When the dancers dance beautifully, the audience seem to be looking at the moving mountains and rivers. Huge mountains and rivers are coming to life! More than a thousand years later, green mountains and rivers still wow people as they did long ago.
In recent years, more and more modern dramas about traditional Chinese culture have received a warm welcome, especially among young people. They show great love for Chinese culture and are proud of it.
