Weave a picture of pattern changes that spans thousands of years.
On the stage, the four singers were dressed in the solemn and majestic deep clothes of the Han Dynasty, the rich and gorgeous skirts of the Tang Dynasty, the simple and soft backs of the Song Dynasty and the dignified and elegant skirts of the Ming Dynasty.
The pattern in the costumes of the Han Dynasty means longevity and health
The lion pattern in the costumes of the Tang Dynasty means brave and fearless
The peony pattern in the costumes of the Song Dynasty implies the fragrance of the country
The Daji gourd pattern in the Ming Dynasty clothing implies the continuation of blessings
Yu Lei, the chief director of the Spring Festival Gala of the Year of the Dragon, said, "When the pattern was born, it was the art of the people, and it has been continued for thousands of years, and the pattern is still the most classic thing in life, and we hope to present it with the most amazing visual language and literary performances." ”
As the costume design of the "Nianjin" program, although Chen Shiyu, a scholar of Chinese costume history, has rich experience in the research and restoration of ancient costumes, "Nianjin" is still a huge challenge for him.
At the beginning of his creation, he selected more than 300 kinds of patterns from the huge library of traditional Chinese patterns, and after repeated research and comparison, he finally decided to use 25 patterns as a design reference. After that, we will find the highest level of traditional printing and dyeing, weaving and embroidery intangible cultural heritage units across the country to cooperate.
In order to present it scientifically and rigorously, the director team of the Spring Festival Gala invited Mr. Chang Shana, a 93-year-old expert in Dunhuang art and arts and crafts design, to serve as an art consultant, and invited Cui Donghui, the son of Chang Shana and deputy dean of the School of Architecture of the ** Academy of Fine Arts, to serve as the pattern design.
After researching and combing the history of the development of patterns, Cui Donghui's team and the director team jointly selected the four iconic dynasties with prosperous patterns and different characteristics of the Han, Tang, Song and Ming dynasties.
Zhang Yifan, director of the Spring Festival Gala Song Group of the Year of the Dragon, introduced that the patterns of these four dynasties are wide enough, and the styles are rich and distinctive. "The patterns of the Han Dynasty are solemn and sharp, the patterns of the Tang Dynasty are prosperous, 'even the lion has wings', the patterns of the Song Dynasty are elegant and distinct, and the Ming Dynasty has many combinations of 'homophonic stalks' patterns. ”
From the prototype of the museum's cultural relics, to the pattern extraction, to the drawing of electronic design drawings, and then to Mr. Chang Shana's hand-drawn modification one by one, after 3 months and countless polishing, the main visual patterns of each dynasty in the creative program "Nianjin" were finalized one by one.
In addition to being self-contained, the patterns containing good wishes and folk wisdom have also been artistically designed and carefully arranged to form a "New Year Chart" that symbolizes happiness and prosperity.
See what patterns you can find
Although he has been engaged in related research for decades, this is the first time that Mr. Chang Shana has designed patterns specifically for the Spring Festival Gala. Mr. Chang Shana is sincerely happy to let more people understand patterns and traditional culture through the Spring Festival Gala. She said that traditional patterns represent good wishes, "Applying patterns to the stage of the Spring Festival Gala is a blessing to all audiences in the Spring Festival Gala." ”
Cui Donghui introduced, the Chinese traditional pattern design is very scientific, condensed folk aesthetics and profound mathematical principles, a figure can have a variety of changes, for example, the square can be superimposed to form a hollow pattern, the basic pattern through rotation, translation, symmetry and other ways can produce a variety of new patterns.
Many of the "homophonic stalks" in the pattern are also very interesting, for example, the gourd represents "Fulu", the elephant represents "auspicious", and the goldfish expresses "full of gold and jade", etc., and the traditional patterns with beautiful and elegant charm imply auspiciousness and people's beautiful yearning for happiness and prosperity.
