Traditional culture propaganda film of CCTV

20 1 February 01,CCTV-4 broadcast a large-scale documentary promoting the truth of the universe in the first round: 12 episodes of the refined version of the Millennium Bodhi Road, which is the first documentary about the inheritance and development of Buddhism in China for more than 2,000 years. The most classic Buddhist holy land in history, the great monks and virtues that have profoundly influenced China's history and culture, and the wonderful moments that still shock us thousands of years later are all presented in this documentary. More than 500 years after the death of Sakyamuni Buddha, the truth of the universe spread eastward to the ancient Sinian country, which was deeply influenced by Confucianism, and gradually took root and even flourished for 2000 years. This is a classic example of the intersection and integration of two great civilizations in the history of the world, and it is also the most unique cultural undertaking of the people of China. This film is a comprehensive review and display of this great course.

The reason for the creation is Yongping's 8 years. In 65 AD, ancient Indian monks took photos of Morten and Zhu Falan crossing the Pamirs on foot, and rode white horses carrying scriptures and Buddha statues to Luoyang, the glorious capital of the Eastern Han Dynasty. Since then, the voice of wisdom of an Indian sage named "Buddha" has echoed in the vast land of China for 2000 years. From remote to real, from vague to deafening.

Today, we see the coexistence of Buddhism in the three major language families of Han, Tibetan and Pali in China. We see more and more people talking about Buddhism, and we see the incense of famous Buddhist mountains burning day by day. On the other hand, due to historical reasons, behind the prosperity of this school, people actually have more and more misunderstandings about Buddhism and are farther and farther away from the wisdom of the Buddha.

So why did Buddhism choose China? What kind of collision and integration have Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism had? How many legendary chapters have been written by eminent monks in past dynasties? What kind of spiritual home has Buddhism built for everyone in China?

Zhao Puchu, former chairman of the late Chinese Buddhist Association, once wrote: "The development of human culture is a continuous process, and traditional culture and modern culture cannot be completely cut off. We should absorb all the valuable essence of traditional culture to enrich and develop the new socialist national culture. The traditional culture of China also includes Buddhist culture. "

It is based on this understanding, on the grand desire to comprehensively sort out the history of Buddhism in China, and on the realistic needs of building a harmonious society. After five years of careful preparation, we were finally allowed to enter every important Buddhist site in China, and recorded the solemn Buddha statues, the practice spots everywhere, the stacks of scriptures that spread the truth of the universe, and the great virtues of monks left in history with our lens.

This is a rare opportunity and an unprecedented production. With the full support of the United Front Work Department of the Central Committee, the Ministry of Culture of China, the State Ethnic Affairs Commission, the State Administration for Religious Affairs, the National Tourism Administration and National Cultural Heritage Administration, and under the strict control of a group of domestic Buddhist experts and scholars such as Lou Yulie, Wen Jinyu, Li Yinglai and Chen Hongxing, we have every reason to believe that the Millennium Bodhi Road will surely show the charm of Buddhism in China and lead us.
