Facing the ancient city of Xi'an, people often marvel at the greatness of the Terracotta Warriors and lament the arrival of thousands of states in the Tang Dynasty. They inadvertently seem to turn a blind eye to the profound accumulation of cultural history in the Han Dynasty here. Here, it is tantamount to forgetting and ignoring the majority of people. It is just admiring the richness of Xi'an's history and culture, and worrying about whether the ancient Han culture is a precious thing in people's eyes under the impact of many "trend cultures". Heritage, or a burden of inheritance? We may be able to find some clues in "The Sound of the Silk Road", a musical with the theme of the Silk Road and telling the story of the Han Dynasty.
The musical "The Sound of the Silk Road" tells the story of Joey, a Chinese boy who grew up in the West. He was addicted to the Internet and lacked a goal in life. By a chance, he traveled back to Chang 'an in the Han Dynasty 2000 years ago, and met the Han Dynasty boy Liu Ziheng and an alien girl Susu. After experiencing major historical events and numerous tribulations, Joey completed his mission and found a way to return to the modern world, and finally completed the recognition of his identity and cultural recognition. Through the turbulent stories of crossing the Han Dynasty, it shows the exchanges and blending of various ethnic groups on the Silk Road and the central position of Chang 'an, the world capital city, on the Silk Road.
In the eyes of many people, history is heavy and boring at the same time. In order to change this inherent impression and allow the audience to enjoy the plot in a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere without obstacles,"The Sound of the Silk Road" takes the form of a musical and combines many elements such as Chinese acrobatics and martial arts. Whether music, dance or other elements, the main creative team considers both the historical background and the stage presentation, and the integration is very natural.
Take music as an example, the music in "The Sound of the Silk Road" includes not only modern music such as Western jazz, but also traditional Chinese music such as sita, horse-head qin and drums; and in terms of dance, this drama tells the humanistic story of the Han Dynasty. Naturally, the shadow of Chinese dance is indispensable. The actress's water sleeve dance design appropriately displays the charm of ancient women.
It can be said that the creation of the main creative team not only respects traditional culture and history, but also uses modern stage art to empower it, ensuring the overall presentation effect of "The Sound of Silk Road". In terms of plot, the whole drama aims to show tourists from all over the world how young people in the new era who have grown up in the era of globalization and the Internet environment can achieve cultural identity and inherit the rich cultural heritage of the Silk Road; In terms of form,"The Sound of the Silk Road" innovatively uses the form of Western Broadway musicals to show the story of the Han Dynasty, which conforms to the status and role of the Silk Road as a hub for exchanges between the East and the West, and also demonstrates strong cultural confidence-only A civilization full of confidence can accommodate, learn from, and absorb various civilizations while maintaining its own national characteristics.
It is believed that with the premiere of the musical "The Sound of the Silk Road" at the Shaanxi Grand Theater on July 23, as well as the subsequent global tour and the pace of returning to Xi'an, tourists from all over the world will not only come here to see the terracotta warriors of the Qin Dynasty and the Huaqing Pool of the Tang Dynasty,"The Sound of the Silk Road", which represents the culture of the Han Dynasty, will also become a new popular choice. Han culture, which has been prosperous for more than two thousand years, will also bloom with shining flowers.
