"Home is the core of a culture, and the ancestral hall is the overall embodiment of culture." Home carries the memories of generations, and lives and breathes in the vast land. In the first episode of the CCTV documentary "I Came from the Han Dynasty", the restoration of Wuliang Temple and Yu Wangan's rent-seeking were like a lost boat carrying deep memories and could only wander around, while the ancient culture The "ancestral hall" serves as a medium like a lighthouse, guiding the boat in the direction, allowing the road to find its roots to proceed, and making the culture of the country last forever.
The close-up use of audio-visual effects makes the original cold stone sculptures and old plaques appear dynamically in front of the audience, allowing the audience to appreciate the heritage of ancient culture. Close-up, Yu Wangan's subjective family portrait makes the children abroad miss their hometown and long for a clear understanding of their own history. A piece of plaque, in close-up view, the delicate lines are traces of time, but the clear handwriting is a solidification of culture, indicating the lasting vitality of culture, and the Chinese cultural heritage is also revealed; young faces and old faces , is particularly eye-catching under close-up shots. The memories in the eyes of the older generation and the yearning in the eyes of young children all reflect the charm of traditional culture and show people's admiration for traditional culture. They are the embodiment of the long history of culture. Looking at the close-up shots , even though very little content is obtained from the screen, the small things in this film also have important cultural heritage under the camera, making the film more intense, embodying the themes of family and country culture, long history, and cultural inheritance, and providing a basis for root-seeking. The center of remembering ancestors was reflected, paving the way for the restoration of Wuliang Temple and Yu Wangan's search for his roots.
The narration of the documentary is an indispensable part. Under the charm of language, the theme of root-seeking and inheritance is more prominent in the film. “Home is the fortress of growth and the final destination. "The eternal refuge of the Chinese people." With the commentary, the three-dimensional image restored by the simulation is more moving, adding vitality to the virtual image. "Fuxi and Nuwa Coitus" is a presentation of history. If it is only visually The presentation may simply mean the prosperity of the human population, but with the commentary, we learn that Fuxi is the ancestor of all things, and Nuwa is the creator of all things. They appear in the form of a couple in the picture, symbolizing the laws of heaven and earth. The rules and regulations remind future generations to comply with nature and laws. The combination of pictures and words under the commentary makes the meaning of the pictures more profound. The commentary at the end, "Dispersion and Convergence," summarizes the theme of the film. Even if we are separated or far away, we can still follow the diagram to find the foundation. The foundation is as deep as the branches of a big tree with branches in the sky, just like our ancestors. There are no descendants, but there are always roots there. The commentary is like a navigation guide guiding the road ahead, allowing the audience to recall ancient culture and promote Chinese sentiment.
The long cultural history and profound cultural connotation are reflected through the actions of the two characters, Jiang Yingju and Yu Wangan. Jiang Yingju and Wangan are intertwined from the perspective of multi-line narrative. To sum up, Jiang Yingju's restoration of Wuliang Temple is not only about admiration for culture, but also about the persistence of inheritance, which is explained by the strong feeling of love in his heart, reflecting the importance of traditional civilization to the world. Yu Wangan's rent-seeking has gone through decades but he has never given up. This character plays a role in promoting the change of the film's rhythm. Even though he is a foreigner, his ancestors are Chinese, and he has Chinese blood, and his emotions are thicker than water. , embodying the underlying meaning. It embodies the identification of Chinese blood's longing for home, and successfully expresses this concept of inheritance through two characters.
Thousands of miles apart, we continue to find our roots and beliefs. No matter how long it lasts, we cannot separate the origin of reunion. Time is long and endless. Even if time washes away, we still cannot bury the feelings of family and country. Yu Wangan seeks to strengthen the meaning of roots, thereby strengthening people’s sense of belonging to their home country’s culture. In the eyes of the audience, this film strengthens the concept of family and country. It also strengthens national belief and at the same time shows the country that our country has a broad and profound culture and a prosperous and powerful country.

Yun Xian looked out of the axis, and the leaves fell and he was happy to return to his roots.
When people grow old, they return to the soil, and the leaves fall back to their roots. The baptism of time, the universe of history, tracing back to the source, how many descendants are left to know the original history of the family, and how many scattered flesh and blood finally found their destination. In the ever-changing world and fast-paced urban life, most people have never known their families.
Home is the fortress of growth and the final destination. It is the eternal refuge of the Chinese people. Even thousands of miles apart cannot break the bonds of homesickness. Migration and integration are the eternal themes of mankind. What remains unchanged is the warmth and belonging of home. When standing alone and bumping into walls, the first thing almost everyone thinks of is home - the softest place in their hearts.
The term "Guangzong Yaozu" comes from "Qujiangchi" of the Yuan Dynasty. It is intended to nourish the righteousness of heaven and earth, build meritorious careers according to the perfect people of ancient and modern times, comfort parents, and bring glory to the lintel. It is necessary to achieve the "three immortal" achievements. In ancient times, there was the family-tianxia system and the patriarchal inheritance method in the pre-Qin period, and there was the small family economic system in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.
Since its establishment in the Han Dynasty, it has been recuperating and large families have been formed. The family is responsible for carrying on the family line and worshiping ancestors.
It can be seen that the concept of family has taken root as early as ancient times. However, nowadays, the concept of family is indifferent, more and more family elders are passing away, and more and more unprotected ancestral halls are damaged. The disappearance of the evidence of the development of these families has made it more difficult to find their roots and clans. In fact, many small families no longer exist.
I believe that there are still young people today who are searching for their roots like the overseas young people in the film. Or maybe they were influenced by their elders and became curious about "where do I come from?" and thus embarked on the path of searching for their roots.
The road to finding one’s roots is certainly difficult, and there are even fewer people who can truly find it.
However, in my opinion. It would be a pity if we cannot know the outcome of our journey to find our roots, but the most important thing is the heart that cares about the family and is eager to understand the family history. People cannot forget their origins, and cannot deny or abandon the past. Just like in today's society, too many young people are addicted to imported products from abroad. Maybe many young people know about Jesus, God, or the ancestors in the Bible and the history of human development in them, but few people pay attention and want to understand it. One's own ancestors (leaving aside the fact that there are no clues)
When people grow old, they return to their soil, and fallen leaves return to their roots. The road to finding your roots begins with your heart. "I Came from the Han Dynasty" Film Review Part 3
The emotions of this film are greater than the material, so much so that many judgments directly equate ancient and modern times, which has to be said to weaken its objectivity and academic nature. However, the strong "feeling" happens to be its characteristic. The basis of emotion is memory, and memory inevitably carries the similar judgment of seeking identity. From this perspective, its task is still to "find roots", but in a different way, from ancient cultural relics (mainly Han Dynasty stone carvings) ), using a refracted perspective to reflect almost all aspects of Chinese society like an encyclopedia, no longer limited to certain local sentiments, but incorporating the latter as part of memory into the overall imagination about the origin of civilization and nation.
What is especially commendable is that the film’s contrasting narrative between ancient and modern times directly confronts many real-life problems, and its attitude is calm, so calm that it even makes people feel a sense of ridicule and shame. Unlike "The Tip of the Tongue", there are too many places that are staged and deliberately harmonious. At the same time, the historical perspective of the film reveals the awareness of this problem: Has Chinese civilization aged? Is the current civilization still qualified to be included in the genealogy of China? Is it possible that the path of civilization, like the Chinese cultural genes portrayed in the movie, cannot be changed significantly? Can the mere revival of certain memories put the modern era on the “right track”? Or is it that everything we do is just a museum collection for self-entertainment and an expression of personal temperament? These questions can be explored in more depth.
The film can definitely be made better, because with the right idea, the connotations that can be unearthed from the Han Dynasty stone portraits are limitless. Of course, this is directly related to the level of literary and historical screenwriters and the focus of their work. I believe that such films will be made in the future Can do better. "I Came from the Han Dynasty" Film Review Part 4
The entry point and material selection of Han Dynasty portrait stone + contact with the spontaneous inheritance cases among the people in reality are quite rich and interesting, and there are many highlights, but the material selection is only a brief background introduction. , they hurriedly turned into catering copywriting and turned into photographic slideshows. The characters were not introduced clearly and the story was not watched enough before starting to talk about values. It disrupted the narrative without saying anything. The transitions back and forth were so complicated and boring that it was difficult to watch. Although the intention was there, I have feelings, but I'm sorry that I'm not moved even if I'm convinced.
If we talk about feelings and inheritance, it would be better (perhaps I guess) to take the historical and atmospheric route of the Hexi Corridor, or to have a more organized and complete demonstration of ancient and modern arrangements, or to talk specifically about modern people. Wouldn’t inheritance be more interesting and fun? !
I feel that the highlight is the Han stone portrait, but the regret is that it is too limited by it.
If the arrangement around the Han stone portraits was more compact and there were less nonsense, especially shots without information, it would not be like this.
It’s not good that photography is greater than screenwriting. It’s not good.
And the first episode is really too long and boring, so I won’t comment much because I can’t watch it anymore (do you miss anything if you don’t watch it, but I really can’t watch it).
Another inspiration (or recollection) is that Han stone portraits, swords and clothes are all media. History is passed down not only through language and writing, but also through physical objects. The spread of civilization is both spiritual and material. "I Came from the Han Dynasty" Film Review Part 5
CCTV News has been pushing it on Weibo, and it was broadcast during prime time on the Documentary Channel. First of all, it is impeccable from a technical point of view, it is indeed top-notch. The content is interspersed with ancient and modern times, jumping in and out to test the audience. It may be an exploration of historical documentaries.
In fact, documentaries in our country have just begun, and the CCTV Documentary Channel has only been around for a few years. It can be seen that the technology and equipment have reached international standards, but veterans of the documentary industry like the BBC have already It has developed a mature routine, and it will take some time for domestic documentaries to catch up.
Strictly speaking, this film cannot be considered a documentary type. It still belongs to the category of historical themes. It has a lot of explanations and talks about values, what a man should be like, what a woman should be like, and how to raise children. , there is a gesture of using ancient times to interrogate reality.
There is emotion, but it is used very restrainedly, without spilling blood or preaching. This is commendable given that CCTV documentaries always put the theme first.
There are not many comments on Douban, and the attention on Weibo is not bad. Overall, it is a film that is well-received but not well-received. However, in this market-oriented society, all kinds of programs are based on trivial matters to gain attention and earn endorsement fees through sensationalism. To have such a silly and clumsy-looking film is like a breeze blowing on the face, enough to cleanse the soul. .
