China lille 1. Shook Beijing. Imagine the ancient and modern, harmonious world

The 2008 Olympic Games will be preceded by the opening ceremony and cultural performances. This is not the first step. But ... in the traditional culture of China. Music and dance have a long history to express important ceremonies and convey people's feelings. Confucius, a great educator and thinker in China, put forward the idea that "rites and music" govern the world very early. "Music" occupies a pivotal position in Confucianism, and "it is based on poetry, ceremony and music" [Analects of Confucius Taibo]. As for the influence and function of "music" on people and society, a passage of Confucius quoted in "White Tiger Tongde" Volume II "Rites and Music" compiled by Ban Gu made the following statement: Confucius said: "You are happy in the ancestral hall, and you listen from top to bottom, and you are respectful: in the ancestral village. All ages can listen to it: in the boudoir. Father and son listen together, so they are very close. Therefore, happy people, therefore, advocate harmony and compare things to decorations. The festival is written in text, so the father and son, the monarch and the minister are attached to the people. First of all, it is the meaning of Wang. This passage highlights the word "harmony" and promotes the harmony and unity of the whole social relationship with the existence of "music". The word "harmony" in China culture is consistent with the spiritual connotation of the Olympic Games. The Olympic Games is not only to give mankind the courage to gain self-affirmation in the pursuit of "higher, faster and stronger", but also to lead all mankind to pursue harmony and peace in the world. Just as China chose "One World". The theme of this Olympic Games is "One Dream", and 204 national and regional Olympic Committees gathered in Beijing, crossing the boundaries of nationality, gender, religion and political system. All this is because the Olympic Games is a peaceful gathering of people all over the world.

"Dance" is a part of "music", and dance music is a part of people's spiritual and cultural life in different times. "Poets, with aspirations, have ambitions in their hearts, and take poetry as their words. Emotion moves in the middle and is shaped by words. If words are not enough, they sigh. If they are not enough, they sing. If they are not enough, they don't know how to dance with their hands. "

Continuing the song and dance in the primitive sacrificial ceremony, the mysterious and solemn taste gradually evolved, either cheerful, depressed, dignified or passionate, and became the spiritual exchange of different social classes. In the heyday of song and dance, especially in the Tang Dynasty. From emperors and princes to the poor, they all like singing and dancing. Today, music and dance are still an active and wonderful part of people's spiritual life. It not only sings and dances for itself, but also shares it with others.

Throughout the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games, the theme of "harmony" runs through. With the singing of "Singing the Motherland", 56 children of all ethnic groups gathered around the five-star red flag and entered the venue, showing the unity and harmony of all ethnic groups in China. The Analects of Confucius was recited by Confucius disciples in words. The movable type printing plate presents the word "harmony" in different fonts, which represents the ancient country of China, which has a tradition of emphasizing "harmony" since ancient times. And "four seas are brothers". The Silk Road shows that the two Silk Roads, land and sea, have become the friendship ties connecting ancient China and the world, enabling China to make friends, exchange needed goods, learn from each other, and return courtesy to the dove of peace transformed from countless shining stars in the starlight, once again pointing out the theme of "harmony". The word "harmony" expands the connotation of the traditional word "harmony" and includes the peace and friendship represented by the dove of peace ...: nature points out the theme of "green Olympics" and "harmony between man and nature" shows the harmony between man and nature. In the dream, the Olympic theme song "You and Me" sang "One World, One Dream" and presented it with the song.
