At the 5th Intangible Cultural Heritage Crosstalk Conference, the stage of Shenzhen Grand Theatre led an eye-catching cultural trend with the perfect fusion of traditional charm and modern atmosphere.
The event was hosted by the radio rap group, maintaining the essence of traditional cross talk, but at the same time it was broadcast in real time on social ** platforms such as Douyin, skillfully integrating ancient art and modern technology, without losing depth in the city, and arousing the public's warm interest in traditional culture.
And this promotional poster is even more unexpected: Feng Gong, a giant in the cross talk industry, unexpectedly became the protagonist of the poster! The news undoubtedly whetted the audience's appetite and sparked a series of speculations and expectations before the performance.
The number of live broadcasts did not meet expectations, which makes one wonder if this year's show lacked enough traction, or if the audience's interest in traditional cross talk has waned. These doubts gradually emerged.
One of the major features of this year's intangible cultural heritage cross talk conference may be that "one change and two unchanged".
One of the constants is the mission of the radio rap group, as the guardians of traditional culture, they have always adhered to the true meaning of traditional cross talk.
In each performance, they skillfully combine ancient performance forms with modern elements, showing the charm of history and culture in a novel way, bringing a unique artistic experience to the audience.
No matter how time passes, what remains constant is the steadfastness of the performance team.
This team has gone through countless days and nights on the stage, they are the mainstay of this stage, and they have spared no effort to pass on the traditional arts.
Not only did they show their outstanding skills and profound skills in their performances, but more importantly, they integrated their love and persistence for traditional culture into every performance, so as to inspire more young people to devote themselves to intangible cultural heritage and jointly protect the priceless treasures of traditional Chinese culture.
The significant change this year is the increase in the number of performers outside Beijing.
In the past, most of the performances were performed by art groups and performance units in Beijing, but this year the situation has changed, and the addition of performance units outside Beijing has brought new vitality and diversity to the performance market, but also brought new elements and challenges.
The addition of the performance team from outside Beijing has brought rich diversity to the content and form of the performance, providing the audience with more diverse choices, so that they can enjoy wonderful performances from various regions and styles.
In this environment of competition and cooperation, the performance team in Beijing is constantly pursuing innovation and improving the performance level and artistic quality to cope with the fierce market competition.
This diversity has also stimulated people's expectations, and the performance market has become more colorful, and the audience can enjoy a richer cultural feast.
Although the increasing number of performers outside Beijing bodes well for the prosperity and vitality of the performance market, this year's highly anticipated performances of "Eight Screens", "The King of Dance" and "Family Carnival" have failed to meet the expectations of audiences, and have even sparked some criticism.
This phenomenon has made people begin to reflect on and re-examine the traditional art of cross talk.
To bring traditional cross talk to life in modern society, we need not only to inherit, but also to innovate and break through.
As a long-standing cultural heritage of China, traditional cross talk carries the wisdom and humor of the nation, but with the changes of the times and the diversification of audience tastes, it is facing unprecedented challenges.
We need to use a new way to present the charm of traditional cross talk to contemporary audiences, so that more people can feel its charm.
Modern people's perception and acceptance of humor has changed profoundly.
In today's fast-paced and information-** society, people's attention is increasingly distracted, and they are full of expectations for more attractive and innovative performance forms, which undoubtedly poses new challenges to the expression of traditional cross talk.
In order to adapt to this change, cross talk actors are actively seeking innovation, trying to organically combine traditional cross talk with modern elements.
Some cross talk works actively absorb social hotspots and popular culture to broaden the audience.
They have the courage to try new forms of performance, such as integrating film and television and ** elements, so that cross talk performances are more diverse and rich.
The rise of digitalization has also opened up a new channel for the dissemination of traditional cross talk.
The communication power of the online platform has made cross talk programs widely popular, especially attracting the attention of young audiences, bringing new vitality and vitality to traditional cross talk.
As a precious cultural heritage, the charm and value of traditional cross talk should not be underestimated.
While promoting modernization and innovation, it is also particularly important to protect and inherit the essence of traditional cross talk.
The bright light of cross talk art needs to be continued in the interweaving of tradition and modernity, so that it will never fade away in the long river of history.
There is an opinion that now is the time to breathe new life into this ancient form of performance.
The new generation of cross talk actors should actively seek innovation, try novel performance forms and contents, and combine the life characteristics of contemporary society to create works with a more contemporary sense and appreciation.
Integrating modern cultural elements, social hotspots and Internet buzzwords, the cross talk performance is more contemporary and closer to the life and emotional experience of contemporary audiences.
As a treasure of Chinese culture, the inheritance and development of traditional cross talk needs to stick to its traditional foundation, and cannot blindly pursue innovation and abandon tradition.
New innovation should be carried out on the basis of respecting tradition, not only to retain the essence and traditional charm of cross talk art, but also to integrate modern aesthetic concepts and expressions, so that cross talk art can radiate new vitality in the inheritance.
I propose that future intangible cultural heritage crosstalk conferences can more fully accept the participation of different groups, communities and emerging talents.
We look forward to seeing a variety of cross talk performances gathered here, not only Peking Opera cross talk, storytelling cross talk, but also local characteristic cross talk, modern innovative cross talk, etc., so as to build a more colorful cross talk cultural system.
In such interactions, we can witness the perfect fusion of tradition and modernity, and the art of intangible cultural heritage cross talk shows more vitality and attraction under the new interpretation of young artists.
Through open participation, we can provide a platform for more inheritors of intangible cultural heritage to show their self-worth, and at the same time, we can also attract more young cross talk enthusiasts to join in, ignite their love and enthusiasm for traditional culture, and promote the inheritance and progress of intangible cultural heritage cross talk.
Therefore, there are still many doubts and discussions about the future direction of the intangible cultural heritage cross talk conference.
However, only through continuous exploration and innovation can this ancient art be rejuvenated and show a more brilliant chapter!
