Program Interpretation: Set in a minimalist yet exquisitely beautiful post-modern Song-style architectural environment, this dance performance captures the refined gatherings of the Song dynasty. It highlights the rituals of burning incense, brewing tea, hanging paintings, and arranging flowers, showcasing the unique aesthetic and cultural pursuits of the era. The moon serves as a guiding thread, weaving through three chapters: waiting for the moon to rise, bathing in its gentle light, and gazing upon its serene beauty. Lead dancer Tong Liya embodies the tranquil grace of a moonlit night with her elegant movements and subtle emotional expressions. Dressed in silk gowns reminiscent of the Song dynasty, the dancers glide as gracefully as fairies beneath the moonlight. The plump petals of osmanthus flowers twirl freely in the air, gently and quietly falling to the earth. This performance vividly brings to life the verse: “During Mid-Autumn’s gentle eve, / Osmanthus flower petals fall in temple’s weave. / Buddha’s scent, serene and high, / Floats softly to the sky.”

1.舞蹈：《月夜桂飘香》 1. Dance: Osmanthus Fragrance under the Moonlit Sky 领舞：佟丽娅 Lead Dancer: Tong Liya 演出：浙江音乐学院 Performers: Zhejiang Conservatory of Music 节目阐述：舞蹈在多个极简、极致美的后现代宋式建筑风格中呈现，融入了宋人雅集——焚香、点茶、挂画、插花等绝美构图场景，展现宋代独特的审美情趣和文化追求。舞蹈以月亮为线索，分为候月-沐月-望月三个篇章，领舞佟丽娅以优雅的身姿和含蓄的情感表达，展现了月夜下的静谧之美。舞者们身着宋代风华的丝质长裙，如同仙子一般轻盈地在月光下舞动，桂花丰盈自在，飘落静好。“桂子月中落，天香云外飘”的诗句在此刻找到出处。

Using velvet flowers as a guide, #LiuTao (Tamia) and #ZhangHexuan jointly performed a three-life and three-generation. #KangZhuqing‘s new composition and arrangement work “Endless Parting Grief.” Stay tuned on September 16, 2024, 19:30 (GMT+8) #AdventuresonMidAutumnFestival2024

Program Interpretation: In the mysterious realm of time, appears a Time Controller. With a press of the time machine’s button, life fast-forwards or rewinds, revealing countless moments—regret, loss, joy, nostalgia, partings, and reunions. Life, like the moon, waxes and wanes, embracing both fullness and fragments. Through these fleeting moments, we come to grasp the meaning of our life journey.

4、歌曲：《时光晃呀晃》 4. Song: Time Sways 演唱：鞠婧祎 Singer: Ju Jingyi 节目阐述：神秘的时光空间，出现了一位时间驾驭者，随着时光机器的按键按下，画面或快进或后退，时间轮转下无数个生活片段一一呈现，遗憾的、失落的、幸福的、感伤的、分别的、相聚的，人生就像月亮不止有圆满，而是阴晴圆缺，我们在一个个时光片段中去感悟生活、理解人生。

5、歌曲：《一骑红尘》（歌曲《笑红尘》） 5. Song: Ride Through the Mundane World (Inspired by The Mundane World) 演唱：陈丽君 Singer: Chen Lijun 导演阐述：《笑红尘》是一首经典的武侠歌曲，此次MV拍摄，我们力求打破传统，创新呈现。特邀青年越剧演员陈丽君一人分饰两角，通过其独特的演技与表现力，展现红尘中的爱恨情仇与人生百态。

Director’s Interpretation: The Mundane World is a timeless martial arts song, and in this music video, we seek to break from tradition by presenting it in a fresh and innovative light. We are honored to have young Yue Opera star Chen Lijun take on dual roles, embodying both male and female characters. Through her masterful artistry and expressive grace, the program captures the intricate emotions of love and hatred, as well as the myriad experiences of life in this mortal world.

《笑红尘》MV由一人分饰男女两个角色的设定，正是一种大胆的尝试和突破。这种创新不仅体现在角色设置上，还体现在对MV整体风格、视觉效果等方面的探索上。陈丽君作为越剧演员，本身就承载着传统文化的精髓。让她分饰男女两角，不仅能够展现传统艺术的魅力，还能够通过现代MV的形式吸引更多年轻观众的关注，实现传统文化的现代演绎。

This MV boldly ventures into new territory by having one actor portray both male and female roles, a groundbreaking approach that moreover explores the overall flair of the MV and introduces a new visual style. Chen Lijun, as a Yue Opera actress, is herself a bearer of the essence of traditional culture. By having her play both roles, this program not only celebrates the charm of traditional art but also seeks to captivate a younger audience through modern MV formats, achieving a contemporary interpretation of traditional culture.

On July 19th 2023 , the multilingual website of the Forbidden City Palace Museum- Beijing, China, People’s Republic of Chinawas officially released at the Digital Cultural Tourism Development Forum of the 2023 China Internet Civilization Conference! The website covers five languages: English, French, Russian, Japanese, and Spanish, and will meet the needs of audiences with different languages.

 The multilingual website of the Palace Museum is committed to establishing an international website that is concise, clear, easy to use for overseas audiences, and fits the construction of the modern civilization of the Chinese nation, including tour guides, information, panoramic tours, online exhibitions, collection appreciation, cultural topics, etc. Rich immersive content describing of the most detail collection that housed within the Forbidden City collection…. 

Dyeing, powdering, and drawing different patterns on various colours of silk can be used as writing materials. The silk paper without writing is already beautiful!

Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty, Jin Tingbiao, and the scroll of the baby’s play. This picture was created by Jin Tingbiao, a court painter of the Qianlong Dynasty, and depicts a scene of children playing in the countryside. Some of the childish and lively children picked flowers, and some competed in “grass fighting” by pulling the stems of flowers and plants together. The children’s naughty expressions are fully displayed, and the cheerful atmosphere overflows the picture. Emperor Qianlong, who was looking forward to having many children and grandchildren, was very satisfied with this picture and wrote an imperial poem on it: “Weeping poplars, strange stones, and luxuriant grass, red and green baskets are pouring out to fight against each other. The heart of a child loves business, and the famous saying is that there is a stream of water in the river.” “He also stamped more than ten square seals and included the picture in “Shiqu Baoji” to show his love.

冬至 At the winter solstice, Yang is born, and the sundial begins to grow. Today Winter solstice , the wall tiles, eaves corners, and plaques of a city are lit up with warmth, and we can’t help but look forward to the coming of the New Year….

Qianlong Qing Dynasty, anonymous, Kesi Sanduo Youqing Picture Scroll (partial). “Three mores” refers to many descendants, more blessings, and longer life. Having these “three mores” at the same time is truly a blessing in life, so “three mores are celebrated” has become a traditional blessing. In this tapestry scroll with its warp and weft cut through, the craftsman cleverly displayed the theme of “three mores” in the way of children playing: the children gathered together represent “many children”; the red bats flying in the sky allude to “the flood”. (Red) Fu (bat) Qitian” means “many blessings”; the boy holds longevity peaches in his hands, which represents “many lifespan”; and at the end of the scroll, there is a boy lifting a hammer to strike a chime, which means “chime” is homophonic to “celebration”, which completely completes the whole story. It expresses the creative theme of “three more times bring celebration”.

The pearl-necked turtle dove is a small wild resident bird of the family Dove and Columbidae that is common in cities, and is also one of the most common birds in the Forbidden City. The sides of their necks are black and densely covered with white spots, like many “pearls” scattered around their necks. This feature is only found after the Pearl-necked Turtle Dove reaches adulthood, so it can also be regarded as their “coming-of-age ceremony”.

Sun Zhiwei, a poet in the early Qing Dynasty, said in his poem “Doves in the Rain”: “The sun rises in the southeast corner, and the pigeon calls his wife.” “Banjiu” means “turtle dove”. The poem depicts a turtle dove and its partner staying together and inseparable. Pearl-necked turtle doves are usually monogamous and behave respectfully in daily life. They breed once a year, and the breeding period is from May to July. Usually the male bird first looks for a location, and then takes the female bird to choose a place that both parties think is suitable, and then build a nest with branches.

Qing, anonymous, baby play picture album page. The “Baby Play Pictures” album was created by a court painter. This page is one of the pages, depicting a scene of five children picking lotus flowers and playing in the water by a lotus pond, with the sun burning like fire in June. The author uses meticulous and rigorous writing and rich and gorgeous colors to humorously depict the cute, lively and interesting image of children. In particular, the staggering and unsteady steps of children wearing crotchless pants when walking ashore are vividly depicted, showing the author’s keen observation. The expressive power of describing God through form…

Synopsis Gu Shiyong, CEO of Palace Culture Film and Television Production Company, is determined to create a new large-scale cultural variety show “Inheritance”. He strongly invites Tao Tang, a young cultural relic expert, Mu Zongyun, a well-known director, and Wang Xining, a senior host. However, just when the program was ready to start, the young female director Yu Zazao suddenly parachuted into the company and joined the program group, disrupting the overall plan of the program and being strongly rejected by everyone. Surprisingly, Yu Zazao is calm and witty, dares to break the rules, and has inexhaustible inspiration like a genius. With her help, the originally scattered production team became unprecedentedly cohesive. Everyone worked together, starting from the historical relics of the Forbidden City, devoted themselves to excavating the core memory of the nation, promoting historical and traditional culture, and solving the problem of non-genetic inheritance. In the end, “Inheritance” stood out from many homogeneous programs and became a great success. Yu Zazao also successfully healed his soul and gained a complete friendship and career..

Episode 3

On the new working day, Yuan Jiaying, a gold-medal choreographer hired by Gu Shiyong with a lot of money, made his debut. The two hadn’t started their confrontation yet, but Yu Zazao became an assistant to the choreographer, assisting Yuan’s work. Yuan Jiaying misunderstood that Yu Zazao was an ordinary assistant, and ordered her to collect basic information on Kesi, and to do errands, print and order meals. Tao Tang thought that Gu Shiyong was extremely harsh, so Gu Shiyong launched an investigation report on Yu Zazao. Yu Zazao’s mother died young, and his father who was heavily indebted and his well-off aunt Yu Wangqing fought endlessly for custody. Yu Zazao still grew up with his aunt, Gu Shiyong believed that Yu Zazao had an impure heart, Tao Tang did not agree with Gu Shiyong’s point of view. Tao Tang vaguely noticed that Yu Zazao was different from ordinary people, so he began to investigate quietly. Gu Shiyong and Yuan Jiaying have a good friendship. After receiving Gu Shiyong’s call, Yuan Jiaying dropped everything and rushed here, full of confidence in joining this time. Father Gu cared about Yu Zazao’s daily life, and invited her to have dinner with Gu Shiyong and Yu Wangqing. Gu Shiyong suggested that Yu Zazao should file a complaint with Gu’s father, or resign from the company altogether. Unexpectedly, Yu Zazao rebelled against the army, but Gu Shiyong agreed on the spot to let Yu Zazao become the director of Group B. Gu’s father misunderstood that the two got along well, and Gu Shiyong became more disgusted, and even left him on the road halfway.

Episode 4

Knowing that Yu Zaizao wanted to win, Tao Tang cleverly used Kesi works to make Lin Shangying open up the chatterbox and tell the life secrets of the five generations of women in the Lin family. Lin Shangying’s great-grandmother, Lin Zhangxiu, was born in the Guangxu period. Her “Kaixiu color-mixing method” brought Kesi works to life. Lin Zhangxiu, who never married in her life, adopted a little girl, Lin Shangying’s grandmother Lin Qifeng. Sixteen-year-old Lin Qifeng is married. However, in the era of frequent wars, the husband had to leave his wife and go to the battlefield. Lin Qifeng cuts silk day after day, pinning her thoughts on her husband on every stitch and thread. The little girl next door looked at Lin Qifeng Kesi secretly, hoping that she would become her own mother, and finally got her wish. However, it was not until Lin Qifeng died that the little girl told Lin Qifeng a secret that had been hidden for decades, that is, Lin Qifeng’s husband had come to the old site to look for her after returning from the battlefield, but the little girl told Lin Qifeng Man, Lin Qifeng remarried, and this lying little girl is Lin Shangying’s mother, Lin Xuexin. Grandma Lin Qifeng didn’t blame Lin Xuexin, but passed the loom to her, hoping that one day she would be able to complete the double-sided tapestry. And Lin Shangying is not Lin Haishan’s biological mother. When going abroad in the 1980s, Haishan’s biological mother entrusted Haishan to Lin Shangying, and Lin Shangying exhausted all her efforts to train Haishan. The stories of the five generations portray a vivid picture of the times. The persistence of several women in Kesi art is moving, and their fate is also moving.

Episode 5

After the second episode of the show was broadcast, it received a lot of praise, and the popularity soared. Everyone attended the celebration banquet together, but Yu Zazao was absent. As Yu Zazao was the director of the program, Gu Shiyong did not sign her name, which completely angered Yu Zazao. Just when she was pressing Yuan Jiaying, she was stopped by Tao Tang in time. Tao Tang decided to restrain Yu Zazao’s behavior, but sought justice for her and got the right to sign. Shu Rong has a restrained personality, is used to digesting all emotions by herself, and seldom confides her heart to those around her. The shadows of her childhood and the pressure after work surrounded Shu Rong repeatedly, making her breathless. But the ex-boyfriend who once hurt Shu Rong reappeared and entangled her. Shu Rong tried to ask for help from the people around her, but she lacked the courage and was almost cornered. Fortunately, Yu Zao saw the clue. In the middle of the night, Shu Rong stays alone in the office to work overtime, but is harassed by her ex-boyfriend again. Shu Rong is terrified but doesn’t know how to resist. Fortunately, Yu Zazao appears in time to stun the assailant and save Shu Rong.

What is Kesi embroidery?

Kesi is a traditional Chinese silk tapestry-making method. Kesi tapestry first appeared more than a thousand years ago in the Tang Dynasty (AD 618-907). It is famous for its detailed pictorial designs, lightness and clarity of double-sided pattern… Kesi– a style of Chinese silk weaving skill and one of Suzhou’s rare traditional crafts- is a kind of craftwork made of genuine silk. In today’s China, Suzhou is the only place Kesi skill is preserved. Kesi employs a weaving method called “passing warp thread and cutting weft thread”(Unlike continuous weft brocade, each color in

Kesi style is woven from a separate bobbin, making the method both technically demanding and time-consuming), in which the surface pattern of the fabric seems like having been carved by a knife, and then earns its name a “Kesi”.  Kesi is admired for its selected materials, gorgeous colors, and matchless workmanship. The tapestry is extremely detailed and exquisite, the pictorial designs of which are finely graded, taking on a three-dimensional appearance. Moreover, the pattern on Kesi fabric is identical when seen from its front and its back, making it a top art on par with Suzhou double-sided embroidery. At the same time, Kesi textile is able to withstand touch, scrape, and rub, far superior to other silk products in China. Kesi products are diversified, ranging from clothes, shoes and hats, ribbon bands and quilt covers in daily life to album of paintings and calligraphy, vertical hanging scrolls, traditional paintings hanging in the middle of the main hall, etc.

The Ming Tombs are located at the foot of Tianshou Mountain in Changping District , Beijing China, People’s Republic of China , about 50 kilometers away from Tiananmen. The Ming Tombs are located in a small basin surrounded by mountains on three sides in the east, west and north. The area around the tomb is surrounded by mountains, the central part is a plain, and there is a meandering river in front of the tomb. From the beginning of Changling in May of the seventh year of Yongle (1409) to the burial of Chongzhen, the last emperor of the Ming Dynasty, in Siling.

The Ming Tombs have a total of 13 imperial tombs, including the Changling Mausoleum of Chengzu Zhu Di, Xianling Mausoleum of Renzong Zhu Gaochi, Jingling Mausoleum of Xuanzong Zhu Zhanji, Yuling Mausoleum of Yingzong Zhu Qizhen, Xianzong Zhu Jianshenmao Mausoleum, Xiaozong Zhu Youtang’s Tai Mausoleum. The Kangling Mausoleum of Wuzong Zhu Houzhao, the Yongling Mausoleum of Sejong Zhu Houcong, the Zhao Mausoleum of Mu Zong Zhu Zaihou, and the Ding Mausoleum of Shenzong Zhu Yijun. The Qingling Mausoleum of Guangzong Zhu Changluo, and the Deling Mausoleum of Xizong Zhu Youxiao. The Siling Mausoleum of Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youjian. In addition, there are 8 accompanying tombs, including 7 concubine (prince) tombs and 1 eunuch tomb. Its architectural form embodies the feudal rules and regulations of the Ming Dynasty. Both the emperor’s mausoleum and the rear mausoleum are covered with yellow glazed tiles. 

The Ming Tombs area covers an area of ​​40 square kilometers. It is famous for its magnificent scale, complete cemetery system, solemn and harmonious layout, beautiful and quiet scenery, and elegant and simple style.

In 1957, it was listed as the first batch of key ancient buildings and cultural relic’s protection units in Beijing. In 1961, it was listed as a national key cultural relic protection unit by the State Council of the People’s Republic of China. In 1982, the Ming Tombs and Badaling were listed as one of the national key scenic spots protection areas as a complete scenic spot. On July 3, 2003, the Ming Tombs, as an expansion project of the royal tombs of the Ming and Qing Dynasties, were approved by the 27th United Nations World Heritage Conference and included in the “World Heritage List

The Ming tombs are a collection of mausoleums built by the emperors of the Ming dynasty of China. The first Ming emperor’s tomb is located near his capital Nanjing. However, the majority of the Ming tombs are located in a cluster near Beijing and collectively known as the Thirteen Tombs of the Ming dynasty. 

The Ming dynasty, officially the Great Ming, was an imperial dynasty of China, ruling from 1368 to 1644 following the collapse of the Mongol-led Yuan dynasty. The Ming dynasty was the last imperial dynasty of China ruled by the Han people, the majority ethnic group in China…

Enjoy the cool air! I should be the first science popularization master who entered the Ming Tombs at night.

This is the largest and most complete royal cemetery in China, and the resting place of 13 emperors of the Ming Dynasty. When the hustle and bustle of the day fades away, this cemetery has more vicissitudes of history. The purpose of this trip is to find the answer to a question.



Regardless of whether it is the imperial tombs of the Han and Tang Dynasties, the imperial tombs of the Song Dynasty, or the imperial tombs of the Qing Dynasty, they were either severely damaged or completely looted. But why is it that only the Ming Tombs are relatively intact above and below ground? 明圣圣陵Why can survive to this day ?

Walk! Go down to the imperial mausoleum to solve the mystery that has been covered in dust for many years…

　The Ming Tombs are located in Changping District, 50km northwest of Beijing, and are the general name of the tombs of 13 emperors of the Ming Dynasty. The mausoleum area covers an area of ​​80km2, and it is the relatively complete mausoleum building and the tomb group with the most buried emperors in the world today.
　　The construction of the Ming Tombs began in the seventh year of Ming Yongle (1409) and ended in the early Qing Dynasty, which lasted more than 200 years. According to the order of the construction time of the mausoleum, they are: Changling (Tomb of Emperor Yongle), Xianling (Tomb of Emperor Hongxi), Jingling (Tomb of Emperor Xuande), Yuling (Tomb of Emperor Zhengtong (that is, Emperor Tianshun)), Maoling (Tomb of Emperor Tianshun) Chenghua Emperor’s Tomb), Tailing (Hongzhi Emperor’s Tomb), Kangling (Zhengde Emperor’s Tomb), Yongling (Jiajing Emperor’s Tomb), Zhaoling (Longqing Emperor’s Tomb), Dingling (Wanli Emperor’s Tomb), Qingling (Taichang Emperor’s Tomb) Emperor’s Mausoleum), Deling (Tianqi Emperor’s Mausoleum), Siling (Chongzhen Emperor’s Mausoleum). In addition to the 13 emperors buried in the mausoleum area, there are also 23 empresses, 1 imperial concubine and dozens of palace officials who were buried. In addition, there are 7 concubine graves in the mausoleum area (East Well, West Well, Tomb of Concubine Wangui, Mourning Tomb, Tomb of Four Concubines and Two Princes, Tomb of Concubine Xian, Tomb of Concubine Zheng and Tombs of Concubines Erli, Liu, and Zhou) ) and a eunuch’s burial tomb (Wang Chengen’s tomb), as well as various buildings such as palaces and gardens serving the emperor’s mausoleum. City walls were built at 10 natural mountain passes (Dongshan Pass, Zhongshan Pass, Zhazikou, Xishan Pass, Desheng Pass, Yanzi Pass, Zhuishi Pass, Xianzhuang Pass, Huiling Pass, and Laojuntang Pass) around the mausoleum. , Barrier walls and other defensive facilities to protect the safety of the mausoleum area.


　　The construction of the imperial mausoleum of the Ming Dynasty was divided into several steps: the selection of the mausoleum site, the formulation of regulations, and the preparation of materials for construction. The selection of the mausoleum site is the primary link in the construction of the mausoleum. Generally, firstly, the first and second-rank officials of the DPRK will lead the Fengshui surveyors to follow the theory of Fengshui, “the shape of the mountain from the outside, and the land veins from the inside”. The emperor, if necessary, draws a picture, pastes a description, and finally decides by the emperor.


　　After Cheng Zu Zhu Di proclaimed himself emperor, he planned to move the capital from Nanjing to Beijing. In the sixth year of Yongle in the Ming Dynasty (1408), Zhu Di ordered Zhao Yan, Minister of Rites, to lead Jiangxi warlock Liao Junqing and others to visit the mausoleum near Beijing. After more than a year, the auspicious soil for thousands of years was finally found in the Huangtu Mountain in Changping. Zhu Di then sealed Huangtu Mountain as Tianshou Mountain, and decreed to encircle the area with a radius of 80 li as the forbidden area of ​​the mausoleum.


　　The layout of the tombs of the Ming Tombs is not in accordance with the “Zhou Li” method of left and right, but with the respected ones in the main veins and the humble ones in the secondary veins (remaining veins). Changling is the first tomb of the Ming Tombs. It is located in the middle of the main peak of Tianshou Mountain, and other tombs are arranged around it. Among the Ming Tombs, Changling is the largest, followed by Yongling and Dingling, and Siling is the smallest. Mausoleum construction methods can be divided into three types: one is the mausoleum built by the emperor during his lifetime, which is large in scale and richly decorated (such as Changling Tomb, Yongling Mausoleum, and Ding Tomb); The posthumous edict of “building a mausoleum” may be affected by the burial period and national power, and the scale is small and relatively simple (such as Xianling and Jingling); the third is that the emperor will not have time to build the mausoleum during his lifetime, and the next dynasty will build it after the change of dynasty (such as Siling).
　　The Ming Tombs are famous all over the world for their majestic scale, complete cemetery system, solemn and harmonious layout, beautiful and quiet scenery, and elegant and simple style. In 1957, it was listed as the first batch of key ancient buildings and cultural relics protection units in Beijing. In 1961, it was listed as a national key cultural relics protection unit. In 1982, the Ming Tombs and Badaling were listed as one of the national key scenic spots protection areas as a complete scenic spot. On July 3, 2003, the Ming Tombs, as an expansion project of the royal tombs of the Ming and Qing Dynasties, were approved by the 27th United Nations World Heritage Conference and included in the “World Heritage List”.
