“山河之美”的中国影像书写

“Beauty of the Homeland” in Chinese Image Expression

“山河之美”是习近平总书记针对文艺工作者在艺术创作中“应该展现什么”所提出的具体要求之一。它与“历史之美”“文化之美”共同构成了艺术表达中的中国之美。“山河”既是可视的风景,又是承载土地、故乡、家国的文化意象,与“新主流电影”互为表现的媒介,并与“新主流电影”在文化内涵上相互印证。自然的“山河”通过银幕的媒介化,成为中国精神、中国气派、中国文化的代言,是构建中国式影像书写的一种诗意方式。

The “beauty of the homeland” is one of the specific requirements put forward by General-Secretary of the CPC Central Committee Xi Jinping on “what should be shown” in the artistic expression of literary and art workers. Together with the “beauty of history” and the “beauty of culture”, it constitutes the beauty of China in artistic expression. The “mountains and rivers” are both visual landscapes and cultural images of homeland and home villages, and they serve as a medium of expression for each other, as well as a cultural connotation of the “new mainstream cinema”. Through the medium of the screen, the landscapes have become the voice of the Chinese spirit, Chinese ethos and Chinese culture. It is a poetic way of constructing Chinese image expression.
