A special program called "Qingming Festival" was a variety show specially launched by Doumao Platform to promote traditional culture.
It invited celebrity guests, including actors and singers.
To bring everyone popular science about the Qingming Jieqi (one of the 24 solar terms).
Among them.
Actors would also play ancient characters to perform ancient customs and activities such as ancestor worship and spring outings.
Of course, as the Qingming Festival has been passed down to the present day, the ancient activities such as flying kites, playing cuju, and swinging have disappeared.
Ancestor worship has become the most important festival of Qingming.
Besides ancestor worship, there is naturally remembrance of deceased loved ones.
...
Wushi Hospital.
In a ward.
It was surprisingly lively at this moment.
Several "囍" (double happiness) characters were posted on the walls of the ward.
Balloons of various colors floated in the room.
In this joyful atmosphere, it felt out of place with the day and the alcohol-scented ward.
On the hospital bed lay a girl in a wedding dress. She was lying flat, with a bouquet of flowers placed beside her.
Even with makeup on, the girl's weakness could still be seen.
Beside her sat a handsome boy in a suit.
The two held hands tightly.
The girl was named Xie Wen, and the boy was named Chen Feng.
Today was their first anniversary together, and also their wedding day.
"Wenwen, you look so beautiful in your wedding dress," Chen Feng whispered into Xie Wen's ear, speaking softly.
They met in the "Ting Yu" fan group.
At that time, Xie Wen gave Chen Feng the impression of a lively and cheerful young girl.
However, after spending more time together, Chen Feng realized that Xie Wen suffered from leukemia.
At first, he thought this girl had a rough fate, but she had a very good attitude and was the happy fruit of the group. After more contact, he felt the urge to take care of her, so he began to pursue her.
Initially, Xie Wen refused him due to her illness.
But with his unremitting efforts, Xie Wen finally agreed.
After the two confirmed their romantic relationship, their path of love turned into a path of seeking medical treatment.
The two went back and forth between major hospitals.
Ever since Chen Feng entered Xie Wen's life, he had never left.
Yesterday.
The hospital issued a critical illness notice.
To prevent Xie Wen from having any regrets, Chen Feng wanted to hold a wedding for her, even if it was a wedding held in the ward.
"Chen Feng, meeting you in this life is my greatest fortune." Xie Wen's voice was very weak, but her sweet tone could be heard.
She had always had a good attitude and was a happy fruit. It took a lot of determination to accept Chen Feng.
Naturally, she didn't have any thoughts of owing Chen Feng anything.
They met through Ting Yu fans, and she felt it was a gift from heaven. Since Chen Feng was willing to marry her, she was willing to marry him. Even if she could only be Chen Feng's wife for one day, or even just one hour, she would have no regrets.
"Me too, you are my greatest fortune," Chen Feng smiled as he tidied a strand of hair from her face, his voice incredibly gentle.
In the ward, only the parents of both sides were present.
Their eyes were red, and they tried their best to put on smiles.
On the wall, the program
was broadcasting the special program "Qingming Festival."
They were very lucky.
They met through Ting Yu, and today was also the day Ting Yu released a new song.
They had discussed.
After this song was sung.
Chen Feng would place the wedding ring on Xie Wen's finger.
And the wedding ceremony would be considered complete.
...
The program continued.
Several traditional customs had been explained.
Now it was time for scholars to go on spring outings.
Although the acting of the several actors was not particularly exquisite, this kind of program was not too distracting.
The audience was amazed.
"So, the Qingming Festival has so many customs..."
"I thought it was just about sweeping the tomb, but I didn't expect there to be customs like 'exploring spring' and 'seeking spring'!"
"I have to say, the program team really put their heart into letting us know these customs through performances."
"I originally came just to listen to songs, but I watched this program with great interest..."
After introducing the traditional customs of spring outings.
It was time for tomb sweeping.
This was the most essential custom of the Qingming Festival. The Qingming Festival was also called the "Ancestor Worship Festival," an important festival to express filial piety.
The actors played ancient characters and performed the process of ancestor worship for everyone.
Then came the Qingming song and dance performance segment.
When Gong Ju Ren appeared dressed as a scholar.
The barrage of comments instantly started flooding the screen!
"Here it comes!"
"Ting Yu is promoting traditional culture again, and now he's promoting customs!"
"Indeed, he has been doing things for our culture. Even so, there are still many people criticizing Ting Yu because of the 'Dark Night Rabbit' incident."
"Don't mind those disheartening trolls, let's just listen to the songs."
"I'm really looking forward to his Chinese style songs, and it's Gong Ju Ren singing again."
"I remember Gong Ju Ren has sung several Chinese style songs by Ting Yu, such as 'A Thousand Degrees' and 'Lugou Moon' from before, both of which were praised by scholars as masterpieces."
"Ting Yu really dotes on Gong Ju Ren, but Gong Ju Ren is also worthy. Every performance of his gives people a feeling of rapid progress."
"Actually, Gong Ju Ren's singing skills have always been underestimated. He has improved too quickly recently!"
The stage setting was ready.
This time, there was still a performance with a storyline.
"Young master, do you know where the academy is?" the girl asked, holding a paper umbrella, her sleeves fluttering slightly.
"I naturally know," the scholar replied, bowing slightly, looking gentle and refined.
The scholar and the beauty met on a bridge, and it was love at first sight.
Many ancient scholars' emotional stories began with chance encounters.
The man was a teacher at the academy, and the girl was a daughter of an official family.
The two fell in love, understood each other, and stayed together.
The scholar wrote with ink and brush, and the girl played the zither and sang.
They were originally a very happy couple of scholars and beauties.
Finally, due to the vast difference in their social status, they were forced to separate.
The story was a bit melodramatic, but it was very easy for people to relate to. After all, not only in that era, but even now, matching social status had broken up too many lovers.
When he learned that the girl had fallen ill from lovesickness and passed away.
"Today, I seal my brush!"
The scholar left the academy.
He guarded his house and lived in memories.
Over the years, the scholar became a carpenter. Relying on his memory, he carved the girl's likeness out of wood.
At this moment.
With the lonely figures of the scholar and the wooden carving beside him.
The scene seemed to freeze.
Music with a strong ancient charm began to play.
"Qingming Rain"
Singer: Gong Ju Ren
Lyrics: Ting Yu
Music: Ting Yu
The audience, who had been immersed in the story, suddenly reacted.
Ting Yu's new song was about to be sung.
However, combined with the preceding performance.
The audience was instantly drawn into the emotions of the song.
A good song, besides being worth pondering, must also have a mood that matches the song, so that the audience can better immerse themselves in the song's emotions.
