What is the origin and significance of the Spring Festival Gala?

The origin of the Spring Festival Evening:

Spring Festival Gala is the Spring Festival Gala of China CCTV (usually CCTV Spring Festival Gala or Spring Festival Gala).

1983 adapted to the situation of reform and opening-up, the active atmosphere in the cultural field, and the mental liberation and excitement of the people in China, CCTV produced and launched a Spring Festival Gala, which proved to be an important cultural event. Once the Spring Festival Gala was launched, it made people all over the country feel refreshed and was generally welcomed and praised.

The significance of the Spring Festival Evening:

From the perspective of cultural development, CCTV has found its own role and new forms of cultural development.

CCTV Spring Festival Gala initiated the first variety show on TV, which triggered a major change in the content and expression of TV media in China. Its success not only stabilized its position, but also gave birth to a series of similar programs in CCTV, such as Super Variety, Zhengda Variety, Quyi Miscellaneous Talk, Spring Festival Opera Evening, Spring Festival Song and Dance Evening, Spring Festival Crosstalk Evening and various holiday variety shows such as National Day, May Day, Mid-Autumn Festival and New Year's Day, which provided the most basic model and blueprint for the development of China TV variety culture.

As far as the artistry of the Spring Festival Evening is concerned, the first is careful planning, the second is to pay attention to creation and elaborate programs, and the third is to have famous actors and artists participate. The fourth party brought together the highest-level works of various art forms of the Chinese nation. It must be admitted that as an important cultural activity that has developed for more than 30 years, the Spring Festival Evening is of great significance and far-reaching influence.

As far as the function of the Spring Festival Evening is concerned, as a TV evening, it has created a cultural miracle and completed a TV myth. Judging from the initial qualitative investigation, the Spring Festival Gala is only held in the form of literature and art at this special moment of the Spring Festival. Just like other activities in the tradition of Spring Festival in China, the Spring Festival Gala certainly carries the necessary narrative, but this narrative should be more folk discourse. Today's Spring Festival Evening carries too much mainstream ideological content, highlighting a more grand narrative function, which was unexpected by the original Spring Festival Evening.
