A dance performance called The Journey of a Legendary Landscape Painting（《只此青绿》）was considered the most amazing program at the CCTV Spring Festival Gala.
The creators of the poetic dance drama(舞蹈诗剧)got inspiration from a great ancient Chinese painting, A Panorama of Mountains and Rivers（《千里江山图》）by Wang Ximeng. Wang was a painter from the Song Dynasty. He spent more than half a year finishing the painting when he was only 18. Now the painting is at the Palace Museum. It has been on show to the public only four times since 1949. The 11.9-meter-long painting is a record of people’s lives and the natural scenery including mountains, rivers and villages of that time.
The poetic dance drama tells the story of a researcher from the Palace Museum who has spent all his time studying the painting. We can follow him to the moment when Wang was about to finish the artwork. “It is not to tell people how great the painting is, but to help people understand traditional Chinese culture,” says Xie Suhao, who plays the character.
Since last August, the dance poetic drama has been played more than 50 times in over 18 cities in China. “I hope our dance can be performed on more and bigger stages to show more people all over the world a beautiful China with a mix of old and new,” says Meng Qingyang, the lead dancer of Poetic Dance The Journey of a Legendary Landscape Painting.
