The Chinese aesthetics embodied in the treasure dance "Splendid" are based on national treasures, showing the style of a great country, stunning stage lights and shadows, beautiful dance movements and historical shapes, etc.
1. The background comes from the national treasure
The CCTV Spring Festival Gala dance "Splendid" comes from the dance drama "Five Stars Out of the East". The creative inspiration comes from the Han Dynasty brocade armband, a national first-class cultural relic, "Five Stars Out of the East" The East benefits China." The five-star brocade is woven with eight Chinese characters in seal script: "Five stars come out of the east and benefit China." This reflects the ancients' observation and understanding of the five planets of gold, wood, water, fire and earth gathering in the eastern sky, hence the name.
2. Showing the style of a great country
The creative concept of the dance section of "Splendid" comes from the interpretation of "China is a country of etiquette". "The Han Dynasty was a state of etiquette. Women in the court would usually wear curvy skirts that restricted movement to cover their whole body. Dance movements would be restricted by the clothing. Small steps, stretching long sleeves with the power of hands, and swinging the body in a slightly robotic way were all part of the Han Dynasty. Characteristics of court dance. In addition, the salute movements of the Han Dynasty are also integrated into the dance."
3. Stunning stage light and shadow
The CCTV Spring Festival Gala stage is built as a loom with light and shadow, and the dancers. The tapestry dances in the threads of colorful light and shadow. At the end of the dance, the rays of light converge into "Five Stars Out of the East and Benefit China."
4. Beautiful dance movements
On the stage, the dancers lowered their eyes and walked slowly and vigorously. The dignified and gentle "Splendid Shake", the powerful "Red Sleeve Winding", and the subtle and restrained "Han Dynasty Terracotta Turn", the dance movements in "Splendid" allow the audience to see the moving dance servants of the Han Dynasty.
5. A historical look
The dancers’ necks and cuffs are inlaid with white lace. The necklines are all in the right lapel style of traditional Hanfu, and the belts are tightened to look clean and clear. The dancers have high buns, black and translucent, and white jade is worn on the temples of the head, with simple decoration; the dance team dances on the longitude and latitude lines of the brocade, with bright red Chinese-style wide sleeves and floor-length skirts swaying and flashing together, like A gorgeous red cloud rolled gracefully on the stage.
