How to find "green and green"? Zhou Lia introduced that the famous masterpiece "Map of the Thousands of Miles" by the "Thousands of Rivers and Mountains" was drawn by the Northern Song Dynasty painter Wang Ximeng for half a year when he was 18 years old. The creative inspiration from the play came from an accidental view of the Palace Museum. In September 2017, the Palace Museum launched the "Thousands of Rivers and Mountains -Special Exhibition of Blue Landscape Painting of the past", one of which made Zhou Lia and Han Zhen feel shocked: 11.9 meters long roll giant system, green and green color, elegant color style, and magnificent composition.

Han Zhen said that the shock at that time was like a stone that was cast towards the water surface. After ripples, it sank to the bottom of the water. Until early 2020, when the group hoped that they would create a dance drama in the direction of traditional Chinese culture, the potential "stone" was suddenly awakened.

"We have not considered" Qingming Shanghe Tu ". There are many scenes, many characters, and many themes of the market. There will be a lot of story lines to choose from, but it is easier to create. In the past, the creative experience of telling stories was the biggest pursuit of creation. "Zhou Lia and Han Zhen, who were also" post -80s ", were known as the" Chinese Dance Gemini Star ". The Shawan Story "and" The Radio Waves Never Passing "won the Two Mandarin Awards in a row. The two admitted that they have always been their creative obsession.

Innovation is higher pursuit. But Zhou Lia and Han Zhen didn't know. Breaking through the model of her habits, they could fail without care.

Transform the static picture into a dynamic dance language, realize the time of spatial symbols, and convert it into a 120 -minute dance drama. The new creation attempt makes the two quite anxious. Zhou Lia said that in general, the creative dance drama encounters a subject. The first thing is to find the characters and stories inside, and then start creating. Very very small. "

"Everyone in the team created this dance poetry drama with the biggest devotion." In the end, the team determined that the form of dance poetry drama was used to dilute the narrative, and to create a realm of "silent and sound" with poetic expressions, and from from the perspective The molding process of painting starts, walks into the vast and profound historical space and space, describing portraits for the craftsmen of the country and the tireless workers behind the country, awakening the sleeping cultural relics and the most precious cultural memory of the Chinese nation through their figures. "That is to express the freehand and painting of poetry in dance language, and finally reaches the spiritual resonance between the works and the audience."

On the stage, 7 chapters, such as exhibition, questioning, singing silk, stone searching, studying pen, quenching, and painting, which vividly show the hardships and process of creative creation and process of eternal paintings. Zhou Lia said that the deeper the creation, the more and more Chinese excellent traditional culture created and inherited. Therefore, they use multiple perspectives to show the essence of the painting: first, crossing thousands of years, and watching the beauty of thousands of miles from historical dimensions; the other is to see the beauty of the traditional Chinese crafts behind the paintings; "The perspective presents the thinking of the weno workers.

At the end of the drama, the eye -catching big word "I would like to pay tribute to the outstanding traditional culture of China and its creators and inheritors" on the curtain, and the audience who was empathy was stood up, and applauding was endless.
