The Lantern Festival in 2020 is a crucial period for the whole country to fight against the novel coronavirus epidemic. The prevention and control of epidemic situation affects the hearts of people all over the country. The Central Radio and Television General Station has carefully created a number of literary and artistic works with diverse forms, touching feelings and boosting confidence, and launched the "2020 Lantern Festival Special Program".
Tonight (February 8) at 8: 06, CCTV 1 will launch the "2020 Lantern Festival Special Program", which is obviously adjusted compared with the previous CCTV Lantern Festival. The whole program revolves around winning the epidemic prevention and blocking prevention war, and consists of several situation reports and poetry readings. Six news anchors, including Bai, will interpret the live report again. Artists familiar to the audience such as Pu Cunxin, Zhang Guoli and Zhang Jiayi will also appear in this special program.
It is reported that the "2020 Lantern Festival Special Program" is recorded and synthesized by a single program, and the unsuccessful programs of CCTV Spring Festival Evening will not be arranged as in previous years. In order to ensure the strict epidemic prevention work in place, the audience setting was cancelled in the whole program. This special program, which lasts for more than an hour, will focus on the concept of "unite as one, unite as one, fight the epidemic, inspire confidence, cheer for Wuhan and win the war of resistance against Japan".
Many artists participated in the recording of special programs. Liu Jin, Zhang Guoli, Zhang Kaili and many other old artists were invited to attend the poetry recital of COVID-19. At the CCTV Spring Festival Evening, the live report "Love is a Bridge" performed by hosts Bai, Kang Hui, Shui Junyi, He Hongmei, Hai Xia and Ouyang was inspiring.
Tonight's special program Bai created a situation report after the Spring Festival Gala, which is still recited by six news anchors including him. The special program also added a link between the host and the front-line medical workers.
Lantern Festival, also known as Shangyuan Festival, Little Lantern Festival, Lantern Festival or Lantern Festival, is one of the traditional festivals in China on the 15th day of the first lunar month. The first month is the first month of the lunar calendar, and the ancients called "night". The fifteenth day of the first month is the first full moon night in a year, so it is called "Lantern Festival". According to the Taoist "Sanyuan Festival", the fifteenth day of the first month is also called "Shangyuan Festival". Since ancient times, the custom of Lantern Festival has been based on the warm and festive custom of watching lanterns.
The formation of Lantern Festival custom has a long process. According to general data and folklore, the fifteenth day of the first month was paid attention to in the Western Han Dynasty. On the night of the first month, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty offered sacrifices to "Taiyi" in Ganquan Palace, which was regarded by later generations as the first sacrifice to the gods on the fifteenth day of the first month. However, the Lantern Festival on the fifteenth day of the first month is indeed a folk festival after the Han and Wei Dynasties.
Lantern Festival is one of the traditional festivals in China, Chinese character cultural circle and overseas Chinese. Lantern Festival mainly includes a series of traditional folk activities, such as watching lanterns, eating glutinous rice balls, solve riddles on the lanterns and setting off fireworks. In addition, in many places, traditional folk performances, such as playing dragon lanterns, playing lions, walking on stilts, boating, yangko dancing and playing Taiping drums, have all joined the Lantern Festival. In June 2008, the Lantern Festival was selected as the second batch of national intangible cultural heritage.
The festivals and customs of Lantern Festival have been extended and expanded with the development of history. As far as the length of festivals is concerned, there is only one day in Han Dynasty, three days in Tang Dynasty and five days in Song Dynasty. In the Ming Dynasty, lights were lit from the eighth day until the seventeenth night of the first month. It is the longest Lantern Festival in the history of China, which is connected with the Spring Festival. This day is a city. Very lively and spectacular.
