Documentary "China": Inheriting the Eternal Art and Enduring the Millennium

2023-12-27

The large-scale humanistic documentary "China" delves into Chinese historical and cultural resources, using audio-visual language to depict the people and stories of ancient Chinese civilization that have had a profound impact on today's Chinese society, weaving a historical picture of the origin, development, and evolution of Chinese civilization. Especially in the recently aired third season of "China", which traces back from mythology to history, back to Yao, Shun, and Yu, spanning the Xia, Shang, and Zhou dynasties, it tells the story of ancient China with logical and well founded scene descriptions, clear and clear narrative language, and a well structured story. It provides artistic and imaginative answers to the question of "where and how Chinese civilization came from" in the era. The success of the third season of "China" is mainly due to the creator's grasp of the three relationships between historical truth and artistic truth, written language and visual language, and China's world and the world's China from the perspective of artistic philosophy. Firstly, the work grasps the relationship between historical truth and artistic truth, which is a fundamental issue related to the ideological nature of humanistic subject matter creation. The youth period of Chinese history, especially the Xia, Shang, and Zhou dynasties, laid a solid foundation for future development in terms of political system, economic development, technological achievements, cultural traditions, etc., and also had a profound impact on modern Chinese culture and values. The work, with a volume of 12 episodes, traces back to Chinese history and uses artistic imagination to depict the ancestors living on the land of China who developed agriculture, formed families, and operated society, established early beliefs and cultural aesthetics, began exchanges between the five lakes and four seas, formed regional ancient countries and early civilizations, opened up the era of dynasties, and finally established a unified multi-ethnic country. From mythology to history, from primitive society to agricultural civilization and then to dynastic countries, the works allow the audience to truly experience the long history of Chinese culture and the vastness and profoundness of Chinese civilization. Secondly, the work grasps the relationship between written language and visual language, which is an essential issue related to the artistic creation of humanistic themes. The general history of images is not a simple visualization of written history, but requires logical reconstruction that conforms to the laws of film and television production. In the process of tracing history, the third season of the documentary "China" always grasps the main line of historical development laws, running through the fate stories of each character, integrating profound philosophical thinking into the smooth historical narrative, and inspiring the audience to explore the spiritual and cultural roots of the Chinese people together. In terms of visual presentation, the work fully utilizes the charm of audio-visual language, using methods such as scene simulation and character portrayal to tell historical stories. The creation also uses ultra wide frames, combined with the freehand white space technique of traditional Chinese aesthetics, to make the picture sparse but not empty, the content full but not overflowing, and fully display the poetic atmosphere. In addition, the text of the work is accurate and vivid, simple and profound, achieving a logical and well grounded approach. The dubbing is highly matched with the visuals, and the dynamic effects correspond accurately with the text. The function of shaping the image with sound and displaying the temperament with text is maximized. These settings bring history to life at once, bringing the audience closer to the psychological distance of the work. Once again, the work grasps the relationship between the world of China and the world of China, which is an important issue related to the dissemination of humanistic theme creation. The work starts from "Mountains and Seas", which proposes that humans solve basic survival problems and create myths to settle their hearts, to "Five Emperors" which sets up officials and creates various systems
