Chinese traditional painting and dance are two important parts of the art world. But what about when t 46 meet each other
At present, a dance show called The Journey of a Legendary Landscape Painting 《只此青绿》 is on CCTV’s Spring Festival Gala. It becomes p 47 very soon.
The show gets the i 48 from the 900-year-old Chinese painting A Panorama of Rivers and Mountains《千里江山图》. It was made by Song Dynasty painter Wang Ximeng at the a 49 of 18. The painting shows a Chinese blue-green landscape(风景画) —mountains between cloudless s 50 and clean water.
The dance shows the Chinese traditional beauty of the painting. The dancers e 51 have a different hairstyle, which looks like a mountain rock. The c 52 that they wear are green and blue, which also show the mountains and rivers. W 53 the dancers sway(摇摆) in their dresses, we seem to be looking at the moving mountains and rivers.
