This Spring Festival, the national tide is surging, and the dazzling "presence" of traditional culture is impressive. Many young people have become a new generation of New Year's "managers", not only carefully selecting the new Chinese "Spring Festival robes", but also handwriting New Year blessings, using lanterns, sugar paintings, hand-made dragon heads and hats and other decorations to create a New Year's atmosphere, which directly fills the sense of ceremony; The traditional Chinese costumes displayed in the Spring Festival Gala "New Year's Brocade" and other programs are like clouds, making netizens say "You can always believe in Chinese aesthetics"; There are also those young people who promote traditional culture to go out, they either confidently stand in all corners of the world, light up the world map with traditional costumes, or creatively disseminate intangible cultural heritage such as iron flowers, murals, and lacquer art, and their words are full of cherishment and pride.
The premise of cultural self-confidence is full and deep cultural self-knowledge. In recent years, traditional culture is no longer an abstract concept that can only be viewed from a distance and put on the shelf, but a familiar and amiable daily element integrated into the lifestyle of young people. "If you don't enter the garden, how can you know that spring is like a promise", in the clear season, take a high-speed train to Suzhou, and immerse yourself in a real-life version of "Garden Dream", and the fatigue and troubles in life are gone with the tactful singing. In winter, the snow is falling, and you can make tea around the stove with three or five friends, talk about the old days, and be comfortable. Put on a horse-faced skirt to "go out on the street", incorporate simple Ming-style furniture into the living space, and practice a section of eight-section brocade ...... when the shoulders and neck are stiff
As many people have lamented: there is always a moment and an entrance that will make you realize that your "DNA of traditional culture has moved". Unconsciously, traditional culture has been integrated into the daily life of young people, and it is natural to talk about and share it. This kind of joy based on understanding and recognition is natural and real, and it will also sound interesting and contagious to others.
Traditional culture is so vast that sometimes just one scoop of drink is enough to make people feel fascinated. A noteworthy phenomenon is that nowadays, young people are promoting traditional culture to go out, not just to show visual beauty in a simple and straightforward way, but to use utensils and clothing as incisions, extending to the interpretation of Chinese tea ceremony, garden construction, oriental aesthetics, natural philosophy and other aspects, fully demonstrating the rich meaning of traditional culture.
Taking the highly sought-after Hanfu in recent years as an example, in addition to the vivid interpretation of traditional Chinese costumes, young people will also share with great interest the texture and weaving methods of various clothing fabrics such as cloth, yarn, silk, Luo, etc., the exquisite use of various patterns on the sun, moon and stars, mountains and rivers, the "eye-catching" collocation of traditional Chinese colors such as goose yellow, pine green, and tangli brown, as well as the allusions and legends and ritual culture behind the clothing. Cooking a pot of tea with foreign friends, they can talk about the basic classification of Chinese tea, talk about the traditions such as ordering tea, fighting tea, and tea opera, from the rabbit hao pot, Longquan celadon and other local special tea sets, to talk about the Zen story behind "eating tea", which can be described as very interesting and interesting.
The rich connotation of traditional culture has given young people a strong confidence in cultural self-confidence. In the face of the world, they don't need to deliberately cater to it, just share sincerely and communicate generously with a level-headed attitude. As a foreign friend said after completing a woodblock New Year painting: "Chinese culture is amazing!" "Poetry, classics, ancient architecture, opera, ......Traditional Chinese culture is like an inexhaustible treasure that will always surprise people, and its own charming charm is enough to make people fascinated. The heartfelt love and recognition of young people, as well as their keen perception and active creativity, will further promote traditional culture to go out and go further.
Some young people joked that in recent years, as the national style dance, cultural exhibitions, Kunqu opera commentaries, etc. have become more and more "popular", life has not only become more and more colorful, but they have also unconsciously cultivated into a "tenth-level scholar" of traditional culture, and it is the first thing to share. There are also some young people with feelings and ideas to go further, some "explode" sugar paintings, the ancient crafts to play a trendy sense, some carefully inherit the long-dormant skills, so that they glow with new brilliance, and some people use creative communication methods to make an ancient town in China, a scenic spot burst out of the circle, attracting countless tourists at home and abroad.
In the process of promoting traditional culture to the world stage, young people who are gradually playing the role of "singing the leading role" pay tribute to traditional culture with natural love, and also confidently show colorful China to the world. This kind of endless youth power will surely transcend time and space and transcend countries, so that the long-standing Chinese culture will continue to go to the world, and the communication power and influence of the broad and profound Chinese civilization will continue to enhance in exchanges and mutual learning.
