Five famous scenes, using light and shadow technology to reproduce the world of "Red Mansion".
After the snow, Jinling, Vientiane is renewed. The reporter walked into the exhibition hall of the "Dream of Red Mansions" art exhibition on the 9th floor of the Golden Eagle World in Hexi, and under the background of various flowers and lights during the festival, it was as if he had walked into the world of red mansions full of romance.
As Cao Xueqin wrote in the book: "The tent dances the dragon pan, the curtain flies and the phoenix, the gold and silver shine, and the jewelry competes for the ......."In the beautiful voice, Jia Baoyu, Lin Daiyu, Xue Baochai, Wang Xifeng and other "people in the dream of Red Mansions" played by children, dressed in gorgeous costumes, walked in style, vividly restoring the scene of flowers and brocade and wealth at the Lantern Festival; It is the twilight of spring, the green grass and red flowers, butterflies are dancing, a scene full of vitality, in the place of "Baochai fluttering butterflies", walking through the grass under the feet, there will be butterflies flying out; "Nong is burying flowers and laughing idiots today, who does he know when he buries Nong? A couple is taking pictures at the "Daiyu Burial Flowers" place.
*: The reporter of the Jiangsu branch of Xinhua News Agency saw at the scene that many parents brought their children to experience. A parent surnamed Zheng told reporters that the visual feast presented by light and shadow in the exhibition is very attractive to children. Her child is in the sixth grade of primary school, and is usually very interested in ancient costumes, through the scenes of "Baochai fluttering butterflies" and "Daiyu burial flowers", it can also be very intuitive for children to understand the different personalities of hairpin and Dai.
The reporter also saw that at the junction of the two scenes, the Qinfang Bridge was on the water. After the completion of the Grand View Garden, everyone came to the garden, Jia Zheng wanted to name it "Epsom Jade", but Baoyu thought that the word "Epsom" was **, and proposed to name it "Qin Fang". Zhou Ruchang, a scholar of red studies, once believed that the word "Qinfang" has a great origin, and can even be regarded as the overall symbol of the whole book "Dream of Red Mansions". He said that a lifeline of the Grand View Garden is Qinfang River, and all the scenery of the Xuanguan is arranged along the twists and turns of this stream. The 2022 college entrance examination essay question ** The current "Qin Fangqiao" is based on the "Dream of Red Mansions" "Test Talent Question Match".
Immersive light and shadow, real-life construction, intelligent interactive ......According to the relevant person in charge of the "Dream of the Red Chamber" team, the "Dream of the Red Chamber" art exhibition is a new cultural experience space created by Phoenix Publishing and Media Group, and it is also one of the largest digital exhibitions of the Dream of Red Mansions series of light and shadow art in China so far. It uses light and shadow digital technology combined with real-life construction to reproduce the five famous scenes in "Dream of Red Mansions", such as the provincial concubine, the West Chamber, the Baochai fluttering butterfly, the Daiyu funeral flower, and the twelve golden hairpins in the fantasy realm, and through immersive interactive technology, the audience can travel through 300 years and interact with Bao Daichai.
With the theme of double IP, the perfect integration of "Grand Canal + Dream of Red Mansions" is realized
The highly prosperous canal city has created the opulence and luxury of the four families of the Red Mansion; The continuous canal context has nourished the poetic life ...... of the children of the Red Mansion"As the pinnacle of classical Chinese literature, Dream of the Red Chamber is also a masterpiece nurtured by the Canal Society. With the theme of "Grand Canal + Dream of Red Mansions", the exhibition sorts out the cultural elements of the Grand Canal in "Dream of Red Mansions" to the audience, and presents the people and cities in dreams from a novel perspective.
The relevant person in charge of the curatorial team told reporters that Cao Xueqin grew up in the Splendid Jiangnan since she was a child, and has traveled back and forth along the canal many times, so she will naturally integrate her own perception of social life into "Dream of Red Mansions" very skillfully. In his pen, Baoyu and Daiyu's "Wood and Stone Alliance" is a love that begins in the canal and ends in the canal. The boat that went south carried Daiyu's spirit back to his homeland in Suzhou; Baoyu walked along the canal waterway, struggling to find Daiyufang's soul ......
The Grand Canal, which runs through the north and south, also connects many pearl-like wharves and cities along the route: Daiyu bids farewell to her father and enters Beijing, and "Dream of Red Mansions" describes that there is a waterway from Yangzhou to the capital, and Jia's mother takes pity on her and specially sends "male and female boats to pick her up". According to research, the north where Lin Daiyu abandoned the boat and landed on the shore is roughly in Zhangjiawan, the ancient canal town today. At that time, it was an important wharf of the canal waterway, where goods from the north and south gathered, forming a prosperous place for business distribution, and dignitaries and businessmen who traveled along the canal entered and exited Beijing.
There is no doubt that as an important canal city in the south, "Jinling" is Nanjing, the birthplace of Cao Xueqin, and also carries the family memory of the prosperity and glory of the Cao family in Jiangning. As Miao Huaiming, a professor of literature at Nanjing University, said, as an autobiographical work, Jinling in "Dream of Red Mansions" is not only Nanjing in the geographical sense, but also an image of a warm home in the south of the Yangtze River.
Cao Xueqin also has a poem entitled "Huaiyin Nostalgia" in "Dream of Red Mansions", expressing praise for Han Xin, and Cao Xueqin's grandfather donated money to build a life-saving pile on the Hongze Lake embankment when he was a weaver in Jiangning.
We hope to spread the culture of the Grand Canal in a subtle and subtle way; After watching the exhibition, in addition to experiencing the beauty of the Red Chamber, the audience can also form the impression that the classic masterpiece "Dream of the Red Chamber" has a lot to do with our Grand Canal. The head of the curatorial team said.
Recreate the "sense of immersion" and lead the atmosphere of the "Red Mansion" to games and daily life
Experts believe that "Dream of the Red Chamber" and "Grand Canal" carry the common emotions and cultural identity of Chinese, and as long as they are more flexible in expression and expression, and closer to contemporary aesthetics, they can be widely spread.
It's too good! Every detail, every corner, can be photographed beautifully**. This is the general feedback from the audience on the "Dream of the Red Chamber" art exhibition, which is due to the exhibition's design highlighting the essence of "aesthetics". The process of viewing the exhibition is a process of conveying aesthetic concepts, and each exhibition space is presented with a theater-style dream design, and the essence of each exhibition item shows the beauty of poetry, garden, opera, costumes and food in "Dream of Red Mansions".
It not only makes full use of the brand content resource "China Canal Chronicles" of Phoenix Group in the field of canal publishing, but also highlights the local characteristic cultural elements of Jiangsu (Nanjing). The theme of "Grand Canal + Dream of Red Mansions" integration IP also contributed to the success of this curatorial "breaking the circle". "This exhibition is one of the results of the extension and expansion of cultural services with high-quality content resources. Hu Jiuliang, director of the Canal Publishing Center of Jiangsu Phoenix Science and Technology Publishing House, told reporters that the editing of "China Canal Chronicles" took eight years from the start of the project in early 2012 to the publication of Allwinner at the end of 2019. The first canal chronicle of 14 million words in 9 volumes, 11 volumes, gathers more than 100 domestic canal experts, and comprehensively describes the river changes, water conservancy projects, operation and management, navigation of canals, key towns along the route, social and cultural phenomena, and important historical figures.
The exhibition will focus on the display of relevant books from a number of publishing houses under the Phoenix Group, including "The Grand Canal Biography", "Notes on Traditional Chinese Cuisine", "Life Hidden in Famous Paintings", etc., and will actively introduce research activities, scripted entertainment activities, tactile interactive flooring technology, digital collection development and other projects of external teams, focusing on the production and supply of high-quality content, integration and innovation development, and improving the ability of online and offline cultural services.
There is an immersive experience area at the exhibition site, and the immersive offline script game "Dream into the Red Mansion" jointly customized by Jiangsu Phoenix Literature and Art Publishing House and others, with the scene of the "Red Mansion" on site, adds a wonderful experience of "dreaming into the fantasy world and encountering the world's famous stories" for visitors. The game lasts for an hour and a half, including plot deduction, logical reasoning, interesting games and many other gameplay. In this process, gamers enter the literary world of Dream of Red Mansions through immersive reading games, experience the important events in the original book, and explore the development of the story.
In order to make the cultural connotation reach a wider range of people, the exhibition also set up a special Hanfu Pavilion and the "Red Mansion Aesthetic Life Pavilion". For example, the "Feng'er South Store" shows Suzhou specialties. In the sixty-seventh chapter of "Dream of Red Mansions", it is written that Baochai's brother Xue Pan bought it from Suzhou and brought back two large boxes of "Tuyi", that is, Suzhou's native products. Baochai carefully selected a few items to give to Daiyu, in addition to silk and silk brocade, there are also pen, ink, paper, inkstone, sachets, fans, pollen, rouge, clay figurines and other things. When Daiyu saw something from her hometown, she couldn't help but feel hurt.
In addition to experiencing the dreamlike and beautiful atmosphere of the "Red Mansion Theme", you can also see the resurrection of the ancient painting "The Prosperity of Gusu" at the exhibition site, listen to the national first-class actor Shan Wen's interpretation of the singing segment of "The Peony Pavilion", and participate in the experience of guessing lantern riddles, throwing pots, lanterns for the Lantern Festival, and poems in the Dream of Red Mansions. Experts believe that this two-way rush between contemporary and traditional is a profound confirmation of the truth that traditional culture is new with daily use and innovation in inheritance.
