Highly recommended, it is a dimension-breaking documentary selected from 14 famous figure paintings in the peak period of China art history. The form is novel, the famous paintings are restored, the characters in the paintings are played by real people, and some topics in modern life are discussed from the perspective of the ancients. A few minutes in an episode, relaxed and humorous, not boring. You can find the part about the Song Dynasty, and it is also suggested to look at it from the beginning, understand those famous ancient paintings and understand the stories behind them.
China was classicized because it was so freehand. In order to let the audience enter the world of painting at once, their art design team dressed up completely according to the clothing style of the painting era, even the details such as hairpins and jewelry were spared, and even the makeup almost reached the standard and effect of the original painting. To reproduce the characters of that era is to create an excellent visual effect to present the humanistic environment of that era.
Every painting is a medium to record life at that time. Every moment of life is a period of history, and each period of history has special significance and gives us great reference value. We look at the background of that era through painting, and then analyze this painting through what it says, which is really a pleasure for people who have no painting foundation.
Why We Love Song Dynasty —— Ten Lectures on Aesthetics of Song Dynasty
I personally recommend this one. In fact, it is a series of excellent courses. Ten teachers led us to interpret life, poetry, porcelain, calligraphy and painting, tea art and other aspects of the Song Dynasty. The production, conception, packaging and shooting of the program are also very novel. It is worth seeing. The reason why this video course really makes me fall in love with the Song Dynasty is that it presents the culture of the Song Dynasty to the audience in a vivid and close way. The explanations of the top ten famous lineups show the wisdom and emotion of the Song people, and their works and lifestyles show unique charm. Through a number of classic stories and core knowledge points in the course, we have a deeper understanding of the ideological concepts and aesthetic pursuits of people in the Song Dynasty.
The first episode is an introduction to The Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival: an afterglow interpretation of the Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival. In addition to painting, Kaifeng, as the largest commercial city and capital in the world in the Northern Song Dynasty, was also introduced as a traffic center in the north and a center of commercial trade and transshipment. At the same time, Kaifeng had a developed entertainment industry and a mature performing arts industry in the Northern Song Dynasty. Including storytelling, singing, acrobatics, suspension spring puppets, zaju and other forms of performing arts, as well as cuju, tug-of-war, cockfighting and other forms of entertainment. These are all recorded in detail in Meng's Dream of Tokyo in the Song Dynasty.
After watching this video lesson, I have a deeper understanding of the literature, aesthetics and lifestyle of the Song Dynasty. For me, the Song Dynasty was an era of pursuing balance. Both the prosperity of Confucianism and the popularity of literati attach great importance to humanistic spirit. Moreover, they pay attention to details in their daily life, from arranging flowers, cooking wine, burning incense to reading, all of which show their pursuit of quality of life.
"Why Do We Love the Song Dynasty" brought me an in-depth understanding of the culture of the Song Dynasty. It not only enriched my knowledge reserve, but also stimulated my love for the culture of the Song Dynasty. Through this cultural journey, I deeply felt the values and aesthetic enlightenment of the Song Dynasty, which had a positive impact on my personal growth and attitude towards life. I can't help but reflect on the contemporary lifestyle and values. The fast-paced life in modern society makes people feel pressure. Understanding the cultural essence of the Song Dynasty makes me re-examine my present life. I began to pay attention to the beautiful details in my life and pay attention to inner balance and self-cultivation. This change has brought me more satisfaction and happiness.
