Do you like Chinese traditional painting and dance? They are two important parts of the traditional Chinese art.But what about when they meet each other?
In 2022, a dance drama titled Poetic Dance:The Journey of a Legendary Landscape Painting(《只此青绿》) was staged on CCTV's Spring Festival Gala and became popular.
According to CCTV, this poetic dance program was inspired by the 900-year-old Chinese painting A Panorama of Rivers and Mountains(《千里江山图》).Created by Song Dynasty painter Wang Ximeng at about 18, the painting is amazing in its sweeping size, rich coloration and the expressive details, reported CCTV.It shows a Chinese blue-green landscape:“mountains and groupings of infinite (无限的) rise and fall between cloudless sky and rippling (涟漪的) water”.
When the dancers moved elegantly, audiences seemed to be looking at the moving mountains and rivers.“It brings me a pure experience of beauty.It is not only a drama but also an exhibition.Vast mountains and rivers are coming to life!” Internet user Mo Weisha wrote in a review.“More than a thousand years later, green mountains and rivers still impress people as they did long ago.” Some people even decided to watch the dance again when it was staged in the theaters later.In fact, in recent years, more and more modern shows feature Chinese traditional culture and have received warm welcome.As for the reason, it is due to people's great love for traditional culture.
“The younger generations have grown up with a more open mind.They accept Chinese culture and are proud of it.” Yao Wei, director of Henan TV Station's Innovation Center, told China Daily.

It's been three decades since The Color Purple (1985) brought Alice Walker's Pulitzer Prize-winning novel to life.The 1985 film earned 11 Academy Award nominations with its heart-wrenching yet inspiring story of a young Black woman getting through the hardships of rural Georgia in the early 1900s.The Color Purple 2023 film is a musical adaptation with a different vibe, though according to award-winning filmmaker Dawn Porter, it's still “a timeless story of love, friendship and power.”
Oprah Winfrey—the film's producer—has encouraged viewers to wear purple when seeing the movie, referring to its holiday release as a “purple Christmas.” In a video posted to her Instagram account in May, she said, “OK, you all have seen the trailer, and I'm giving you six months to get your outfit together for opening day.All things purple.What you gonna wear? Color purple.” And she's led the way to promote the movie at press events, award shows, talk shows and early screenings.
But beyond pure marketing, purple holds a greater meaning here.According to cultural critics, it's a symbol of power, ambition and luxury, as well as creativity, independence and peace—things the movie's main character, Celie, does not have due to years of domestic violence.Thus, it's very much a cultural moment when people wear purple in solidarity(团结一致) to support the movie and embrace this theme of empowerment, just like wearing pink to see Barbie (and black to see Oppenheimer, for that matter).
Thirty-three years later, The Color Purple continues to attract audiences, especially Black women.It's these themes of sisterhood, spirituality and self-discovery that make the book and its adaptations so timeless.“Shakespeare can be performed so many times and in so many forms,” Porter says.“This is a classic text that has the same power.”
