The six episode humanistic documentary "Poetic Beauty Chengdu" produced by Chengdu Media Group and directed by Zhang Tongdao was recently broadcasted on the Documentary Channel of China Central Radio and Television. As an innovative work focusing on the contemporary dissemination of classical poetry, this film takes the audience on a journey of "time travel" to deeply perceive the aesthetic essence of Chinese poetry. The poem "Beautiful Chengdu" takes the immortal poems and life scenes of great poets from the Tang and Song dynasties such as Li Bai, Du Fu, Su Shi, and Lu You as the starting point, and uses the pursuit, feelings, and understanding of their footprints by modern people as the narrative thread to deeply interpret the ideological penetration, emotional appeal, and aesthetic imagination contained in those beautiful poems. The prominent artistic representation in the work is' time travel '. The term 'time travel' here is reflected in 'three dimensions': time and space' travel ', connecting ancient and modern times; Media 'crossing', integrating multiple art forms; Life 'travels' and triggers emotional resonance. In the film, the audience is guided by visiting guests to enter the birthplace of beautiful poetry, including the rugged Shu Road, exquisite scattered flower buildings, lush grass huts, tranquil Huanhua River, and dynamic Jinjiang River. For example, in the episode "Xue Tao's Room", contemporary female poet Zhai Yongming developed a strong interest in the Tang Dynasty talented woman Xue Tao, who lived in the same city. In the process of tracing her historical footsteps, he wrote the poem "A little bit of empathy makes me gaze in the direction of the night". In the episode "Su Shi's Crabapple Red", Su Shu, a descendant of Su Shi and a contemporary artist, learned about Su Shi's creation of the story of holding candles under the moon to observe the crabapple, and began to explore using Shu brocade to express his ideal crabapple flower. Imagining the poet's life scenes and artistic situations, the guests felt and experienced, often unable to suppress laughter and tears during the recording scene. This is the induction and observation of thoughts, emotions, and aesthetic interests between life and life. These "time travel" experiences have profound practical significance and social value. Great poets and their classic works are treasures of excellent traditional Chinese culture, and it is difficult to fully realize their value of storage, inheritance, and dissemination solely through forms such as reading aloud. The poem 'Beautiful Chengdu' has created an innovative path through the form of 'time travel', which re perceives the original context of poetry creation from the perspective of contemporary people, and constructs a cultural dialogue that transcends time and space in the fusion of ancient and modern poetry. This work not only actively explores the creative transformation and innovative development of excellent traditional Chinese culture, but also breaks through the limitations of traditional expression in the field of documentary creation, expanding the boundaries of artistic expression. The film invites contemporary writer Alai, musician Feng Mantian, poets Zhai Yongming, Ouyang Jianghe and other cultural masters as visiting guests. During the search process, these artists deepened their understanding and recognition of Tang and Song poets, and with their unique artistic perspectives, created and interpreted new works that not only inherit classical poetic charm but also conform to contemporary aesthetics, making poetry visible and tangible, and allowing the audience to experience the charm of poetry. As the first episode "Li Bai's A Plan" begins, the famous Ruan Xian performer Feng Mantian stands at the top of the Jian Ge. As the sun rises in the east, he flips his ten fingers and performs Li Bai's "The Difficulties of the Shu Road" with ethereal music. Musician Zhang Ruoshui composed Du Fu's quatrain "Two Orioles Singing on Green Willow Trees" into modern rock music, accompanied by recitations by writers such as Mo Yan and Han Shaogong, and recited in 25 languages including English, French, and German, creating a thrilling and exciting musical effect. He Lanze, the musician, played Xue Tao's poem "Prepare for the the side tower" as a zither song. Zhai Yongming, the poet, ascended the ancient the side tower and looked down at the Qiang sheepskin drum dance, wild horses galloping, and snow covered mountains, presenting an audio-visual feast combining ancient and modern times. The recitation of Lu You's "Jin Cuo Dao Xing" by Dashan, accompanied by the fire knife dance, vividly portrays the strong and intense sentiment of "Although Chu's three households were able to destroy Qin, how could China be empty without anyone?" These ingenious ideas and colorful expressions bring millennium old poetry to life today, integrating classical poetry into contemporary life. The aesthetic value reflected in 'The Beauty of Poetry in Chengdu' is commendable. This is not only reflected in the beauty of classical poetry in the film, but also in the poetic scenes that flow to this day. In the fast-paced modern society, "The Beauty of Poetry Chengdu" has built a spiritual home, guiding the audience to temporarily detach themselves from the chaos of the secular world and obtain spiritual dwelling and purification in the beautiful artistic realm of Gaoyuan. The poem 'Beautiful Chengdu' not only records the poet's emotional journey, but also opens up the imaginative space for the integration and innovation of Chengdu's cultural and tourism industry. The scenes in the film may become a check-in place for people to immerse themselves in the experience. The film adopts the so-called "light recording style" of the chief director Zhang Tongdao, breaking away from the free flowing ink animation and lively poetic scenes, and creatively expressing the spirit of classical poetry through modern audio-visual language, finding new possibilities for the creation of humanistic documentaries.
