Ordos "glory" swept across the ancient capital grassland and full of cultural charm

As one of the birthplaces of nomadic culture in northern China, Ordos has always maintained the city's unique youth and vitality thanks to its unique natural features and magnificent and beautiful national culture. Recently, the "Ordos Cultural Journey to Shenzhou-2018 Xi'an Activity Week" held in Xi'an, the "ancient capital of the thirteen dynasties", swept this ancient city strongly. The event takes various forms such as literary and artistic performances, cultural relics exhibitions, intangible cultural heritage displays, and tourism promotions, allowing the majority of Xi'an citizens to truly experience the unique national culture and historical context of Ordos, and follows the two places since the ancient "Silk Road". The tradition of cultural exchanges has further promoted all-round exchanges between the two places.

The collision of tradition and modernity, the blending of nation and the world,

the horse-head qin is not only a favorite instrument of herdsmen and folk artists, but also occupies a place in the musical instrument families in China and the world. Of course, as the first performance of this cultural exchange, the Matouqin Symphony Concert "Xiongfeng of Northern Xinjiang" won a good start for the event! Many audiences came to the entrance of Xi'an Concert Hall early before the performance started, waiting in line, looking forward to seeing the style of the horse-head violin. The performance of China's Wushen Matouqin Symphony Orchestra, the only symphony orchestra in China that uses horse-head fiddle as the main string, did not disappoint the audience at all. The music follows the principle of "tradition and innovation each account for 50%." It is deep, rough, high-pitched and passionate, reflecting the Mongolian nation's open and heroic grassland style, allowing the audience to feel the charm of horse-head fiddle up close and feel the inclusive and unique national spirit of Ordos!

Ordos

, created by diverse cultures, not only has unrestrained music, but also national dances with strong grassland customs. The large-scale national dance drama "Sengidema" quickly ignited the enthusiasm of the audience once it was staged. "Sengidema" is adapted from an ancient legend on the grassland. It tells the story of the heroine Sengidema, the "embodiment of beauty" in the eyes of the Mongolians, and her lover Burigode, who are still loyal to love despite the hardships of reality. The story of perseverance and unyielding to the forces of evil. This story is even called "Juliet of China, Zhu Yingtai of the Grassland." Completely different cultural backgrounds convey the same value orientation. The nation and the world are not estranged, but echo each other. In the performance of the traditional national song and dance "Grassland in the Heart", it not only combines various art genres such as dance, song, ensemble and Humai, but also incorporates new songs and dances with a very modern sense. Various cultures and arts complement each other and integrate into one.

and "Grassland in the Heart"

shows grassland customs, ethnic cultural relics show history and culture

Erdos is one of the birthplaces of nomadic culture. The special exhibition of this "Passing on the Fire-Ordos Intangible Cultural Heritage Exhibition" is naturally also inseparable from the grassland customs. The intangible cultural heritage of Ordos displayed this time is closely related to the lives of local people and is engraved with a deep imprint of grassland culture.

As a grassland nation, riding gear is undoubtedly the most national cultural characteristics of life. Compared with saddle gear of other ethnic groups and regions, Ordos has gorgeous decoration, more sophisticated materials, and more sophisticated production techniques. At the scene of making horse-head fiddle, an elderly intangible cultural heritage inheritor played a melodious horse-head fiddle. In addition, Dalat's hot painting skills also show a unique regional style. Hot painting is to use a hot iron to iron the gourd, wooden board, plywood, and furniture to create hot marks for painting. Dalat's hot painting skills are based on local cultural characteristics such as Mongolian and Yuan culture and Yellow River culture, and most of the content mainly reflects the historical allusions, characters, religion and farming life of the Mongolian people.

As one of the first batch of representatives of intangible cultural heritage at the level of the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, the Ordos costumes displayed on site also attracted many audiences. The Ordos Mongolian people have inherited the essence of court costume culture, combined the characteristics of northern nomadic peoples, Han and other cultures, and created the unique and charming Ordos costume art. It can be said to be a wonderful flower in the Mongolian costume art.

Spiritual appeal.

Inheriting

Mongolian culture, Ordos warms the world

today. It is a natural treasure house for the inheritance and protection of Genghis Khan's sacrificial culture, and it is also a stage for the living interpretation of Mongolian history and culture. Zhao Ziyi, director of the Ordos Culture, Press, Publication, Radio and Television Bureau, expressed the hope that through this event, we can strengthen learning and exchanges with other regions and ethnic groups, promote cultural exchanges and cultural exchanges between various ethnic groups and countries, and allow the mysterious and profound Ordos culture to continue in a more open form, and then explore the inheritance and protection of Ordos Mongolian history and culture. We have always believed that only when culture flows can it produce infinite vitality. Since the "Ordos Cultural Journey to Shenzhou" was held 12 years ago, inheriting Mongolian culture has become a responsibility and obligation rooted in our hearts. We will continue to maintain our passion and love to persist in this significant event, and devote ourselves to this great undertaking as we have always. In this great cause, we will make our own contribution to promoting multicultural exchanges.
