Excellent China cultural elements contained in the opening ceremony of Hangzhou Asian Games

The outstanding China cultural elements contained in the opening ceremony of Hangzhou Asian Games are: Osmanthus fragrans at the autumnal equinox, water and tide, "Song Yun" and "Poetry".

1, osmanthus fragrans at vernal equinox:

September 23rd is the autumnal equinox, one of the twenty-four solar terms in the China lunar calendar. At the same time, osmanthus is in full bloom in this autumn season. "Osmanthus fragrans" is the city flower of Hangzhou and the "first flower" in autumn; "Toad wants to eat swan meat" is an allusion of China, which was used to describe academic success in ancient times. Now it means that when athletes win the laurel in sports competitions, "osmanthus drum" enthusiastically plays the welcoming ceremony.

2. Water and tides:

The first is to take water as the core element in the whole performance. Water is the source of life and the cradle of human civilization. Hangzhou is a city born and prospered by water. The "water" in the welcoming performance shows the China wisdom of Liangzhu culture's 5,000-year-old water conservancy system, and the "water" in the first part is a beautiful picture of ink painting, with misty rain staining the south of the Yangtze River.

The "water" in the novella has evolved into surging waves and rising rivers; The "water" in the next chapter is green mountains and green waters, an ecological civilization, a harmonious coexistence between man and nature, and also implies that China and Asian countries are interdependent and walk hand in hand.

3. Song Yun and Shi Pin:

The outstanding features of "Song Rhyme" in its main performance are firstly manifested in the oriental aesthetics and exquisite and elegant attitude towards life. Whether performing in the "window" stage area or on the 10 Song theme cruise ship, you will see the elements of life in the Song Dynasty, such as calligraphy and painting, tea ceremony, incense, umbrellas, seal cutting, porcelain, silk, chess, sword dance, guzheng, drinking, painting, poetry and songs, and so on.

Highlighting the Jiangnan life aesthetics of "elegance is universal", in the main performance area, the quintessence of Chinese scholars showed their lofty patriotism and the spirit of "taking the world as their own responsibility" with a high-spirited attitude.

Song Yun girls use dance as a brush to outline the beauty of landscape in Song Dynasty and the wind lotus of Qu Yuan in West Lake. Therefore, the rhyme culture in the opening ceremony is a combination of rigidity and softness, and it is an elegance composed of lofty beauty and graceful beauty. This kind of elegance has both aesthetic artistic conception and integrity.
