Tan Dun’s Opera “Tea” will be staged

( 2008-06-30 )

Tea-- The Heart's Mirror is an opera by the world-famous Chinese composer Tan Dun, the opera is a love story between a princess of the Tang Dynasty and a Japanese monk based on the Chinese tea culture and the Book of Tea written by Lu Yu. But the story goes beyond love, exploring themes such as
death, nature, and spirituality. The opera includes music full of the profoundness and ease of Chinese style and utilizes diversified natural sounds as well as percussion instruments like shuiqin (water-phone), yunluo (cloud gongs), porcelains, pottery drums and even paper and water, which are in
perfect harmony with the Book of Tea and the Zen represented in the opera in terms of form and content.

Tea-- The Heart's Mirror has many versions from different countries, including Japan, France, New Zealand, the Netherlands and Sweden, since its debut in Tokyo in 1992. Many famous opera actors of the world and top opera actors of China, including Liao Changyong, Fu Haijing, Li Xiuying and Mo
Hualun, have played the leading roles in different versions. However, there has never been a Chinese version of the opera so far although it is a collection of Chinese culture and national legacies, which is a blank in its history since its birth 15 years ago. In 2008, at the juncture of the
Olympic Games, when the whole world focus on Beijing, creators of Tea-- The Hearts Mirror will pull out all stops to present a classic work integrating the excellent tradition of Chinese culture and modern originality so as to reproduce the traditional elements in a modern way and carry forward
the Chinese spirit with international styles.

"Tea" will be staged in the opera house of China's National Center for the Performing Arts on July 30 and 31.

Daoyin -An Ancient Way of Preserving Life

( 2008-07-07 )

Daoyin, or "xingqi," is a kind of callisthenic exercise combining breathing with bodily movements mimicking animals. Dao means to regulate qi, or vital energy, by guiding its flow in the body. Yin means to limber up the body and limbs through physical movements.

"Epigraph on Circulation of Qi," an inscription on a piece of jade of the Warring States Period (475-221 BC), shows that people at that time already knew how to nourish qi and guide its flow in the body. Monographs on daoyin began to appear in the Western Han Dynasty (206 BC-AD 24).

The daoyin diagrams painted on silk, unearthed from Tomb No.3 of the Eastern Han Dynasty (25-220) in Changsha, Hunan Province, are the earliest extant and most complete paintings on ancient callisthenics. The paintings depict in color 44 people of both sexes and different ages doing daoyin
movements of various descriptions.

Hua Tuo, a famous physician of the Period of the Three Kingdoms (220-280), adapted over 140 daoyin routines into five groups of movements mimicking tigers, deer, bears, apes and birds to create a set of exercise called Five Animal Play. By the Song Dynasty (960-1279), daoyjn had developed into
baduanjin (eight-section brocade), which has remained popular to this day. Other exercises like wenbaduan and yijinjing, which appeared in the Ming (1368-1644) and Qing (1644-1911) dynasties, are a blend of qigong and massage.

Daoyin exercises have proved very effective in prolonging life. Dougong, a blind musician during the reign of Emperor Wendi of the Western Han Dynasty, kept practicing daoyin until he died at the ripe old age of over 100. Sun Simiao, a noted medical expert of the Tang Dynasty (618- 907), performed
daoyin three times a day and lived to an age of 110. Lu You, a celebrated scholar of the Song Dynasty, was still going strong when he was well over 80. No wonder daoyin was called an art for achieving longevity in ancient times.

The Photography Exhibition of Chinese Folk-Games

Time: 9am to 5pm, daily except Monday, March 12-April 6,

Address: Hall, 5, 6, and 8, Guangdong Museum of Art

TEL (8620) 8737 4468

Spindle, shuttlecock, hopscotch, jackstone, cockfight, slingshot, and swing are all folk games, and they can also be trendily termed "green games": cost free, maintenance free, pollution free and rubbish free. These Chinese folk sports have a time-honored history. Over the past several decades,
photographers and photography fans have shot a myriad of folk sports pictures which themselves have become non-material cultural heritage.

Rope skipping:Most Chinese people, for a long time, spent their childhoods in poverty. However, happiness was never absent.

"Chinese folk games are born free, unrestrained and independent. Inherently and closely connected with the masses' daily life, Chinese folk games are not confined to any specific forms, sites, number of attendees or organizational patterns. A long history, far-flung territory, and diverse
nationalities contribute to Chinese folk games' abundant varieties and multiple forms. Combining body movement and spiritual entertainment, Chinese folk games truly help people build up a " strong body and healthy mind", without direct pursuit of fame and gain", said Mr Hu Wugong, photographer and
organizer of the exhibition "Chinese Folk Sports".

Football: Since China’s reform and opening-up, a lot of "foreign games" have been introduced.

A Different Flavor of "Peony Pavilion"

She suffers so much in missing him that she is doomed to fall ill and then return to dust. As she lies dying, she instructs her maid Chunxiang to bury her beside the plum tree in the garden of her family and to bury her portrait under a stone from Taihu Lake. Liu Mengmei seems to be directed by
this invisible power and he passes through Lin’an on his way to take an examination. He falls ill in Lin’an and stays in the Plum Blossom Temple that Du Liniang’s father has built beside her grave. Liu finds Du Liniang’s portrait there and he falls in love with her at first sight, even
though what he is looking at is just a portrait. What’s more, he speaks to her portrait every day and Du Liniang is moved by him again.

In his rendezvous with Du’s spirit, the fact that she has died is revealed, and he follows what Du instructs him to do: to unearth her corpse. Upon doing so, Du Liniang is revived by the power of their deep love. Eventually, as we suspect and hope, they are united and get married.

Playwright Tang Xianzu

"Peony Pavilion" is one of Tang xianzu’s most famous works.

Tang Xianzu (1550-1616), was born in Linchuan, Jiangxi Province. He had many courtesy names, such as Yi Reng, Hai Ruo, and Qingyuan Taoist Priest. This great dramatist, who lived during the reign of the Wanli Emperor during the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644), is often mentioned together with the English
dramatist Shakespeare not only because they coincidently died in the same year, but also because their intelligence and achievements are of the same caliber, just like two unprecedented brilliant stars adding to each other’s splendor in the eastern and western skies of drama.

Chinese Director gets a Bear Hug

Wang Xiaoshuai poses with the Silver Bear trophy during the 58th Berlin Film Festival.

A Chinese film about love, responsibility and infidelity won the Silver Bear award for best script at the 58th Berlin Film Festival on Saturday. Based on a true story, In Love We Trust (Zuo You), Wang Xiaoshuai's eighth film, tells the tale of a divorced couple who agree to bear another child in
order to save their dying daughter.

"It may sound like a soap opera but I hope this film goes beyond boundaries," Wang said in an earlier interview with China Daily. "It deals with ordinary, middle class people in a way that could take place in any country."

For Wang, the film marks a change in generational focus from previous films like Beijing Bicycle, which had teenage boys and girls as its protagonists and won the Grand Jury Silver Bear Award at the 2001 Berlin Film Festival.

"It is a shift to middle age," the 41-year-old director said. "I wanted to show people already pressured by parenthood, responsibility and work, and how they cope when faced with a sudden disaster."

The film is set in Beijing, but the images are of a large, faceless contemporary Chinese city, where scores of grey, high-rise apartment blocks form a physical maze as complex and oppressive as the emotional one negotiated by the main characters.

"In China, and especially Beijing, everything is changing fast, growing and developing," Wang said. "Everything that was traditional can now only be found in history books."

Wang added, however, that human beings essentially stay the same. "I hope my film can leave people thinking and looking at their lives," he said.

The original Chinese title of the film is Zuo You or Left Right, a reference to the opposing pull of the characters' conflicting loyalties. Wang said that the international title, In Love We Trust, reflects the film's optimism.

"I hope that when people are confronted with disaster, they will use love and rationality to deal with it," he said.

In Love We Trust made its world premiere in Berlin where last year's top Golden Bear award was won by another Chinese film, Tuya's Marriage. Wang's films have enjoyed substantial success on the international film circuit.

As well as his Silver Bear award for Beijing Bicycle, Wang's Shanghai Dreams, about a family sent from Shanghai to work in the countryside during the 1960s, garnered a Special Jury Prize at the 2005 Cannes Film Festival.

Constantly on the Move

The Beijing LDTX Modern Dance Company is constantly creating new works and will be showing off two new pieces - See and Whispering Wind - this Saturday, at Haidian Theater.

The performances are part of the Dance Now Beijing Series, which will provide a chance for young choreographers to work on experimental concepts.

See choreographer Liu Bin is known for his musical sensibilities and the freedom of movement of his dancers.

This time he has found inspiration in the shape of the mysterious character "bu" which means divination.

When the lights go up, 12 dancers, in white uniforms, red hats and socks, swing their bodies around like flames.

"There is a place in the mind without the concept of time and space, no stop, no end it is an everlasting road, and I cannot cease or release it, I will simply wallow in it," Liu says.

Yao ethnic minority dancer Liu Yifeng has choreographed Whispering Wind. After graduating from Central University of Nationalities, as a visiting artist, Liu studied modern dance in Japan where he was able to concentrate on Yao indigenous and contemporary dance.

The set of Whispering Wind consists of huge red pieces of cloth, signifying the shifting winds that leave the dancers straddling two worlds.

Liu Yifeng's choreography is full of sleek movement and this is accented by flowing melodies.

Classical Memories in Modern Greek Art

The Classical Memories in Modern Greek Art exhibition at the Beijing Capital Museum from October 18 to November 16 portrays the classical spirit of ancient Greece by modern Greek artists.

The exhibition is under the auspices of the Greek Ministry of Culture in the context of the Cultural Year of Greece in China.

This exhibition, which comprises 63 works of art, aspires to present the reception of the classical spirit of ancient Greece (ideas, themes, figures) by Modern Greek artists, the ways in which they have been inspired by it, as well as the ways in which they represented it in their art during the
20th century.

Encouraged by a return of art towards tradition throughout Europe in the 1930s, Greek artists re-affiliated themselves with their ancestral heritage. However, Greek tradition is not limited to classical antiquity. That is why the return to tradition frequently mingled together many sources,
creating a fascinating hybrid, the catalyst being the formal experience of modern art.

Introduction:

A piece of history; a love story; an elegy to the spirit of a heroic man and the passion of a beautiful woman. The dance drama Farewell My Concubine reenacts a number of historical vignettes from the war between the ancient Chinese states of Chu and Han. Among the scenes staged are the forces of
Chu scuttling their boats and smashing their cooking pots before battle, signifying their determination to achieve victory or die; the famous Hongmen banquet, during which Xiang Yu, the King of Chu, attempts to assassinate Liu Bang, the Prince of Han; the Han forces singing Chu laments in the
night, tricking the Chu soldiers into thinking their army has already been vanquished; and Xiang Yu bidding farewell to his beloved concubine Yu Ji on the eve of battle.
