The poet Na Qiao Mshikmei once said: "There are two things in a person's life that will never be forgotten, his mother's face and the face of this city."

The city bears the warmest memories of people's life growth, bears the imprint of history and culture in the embrace of time and inherits the national spirit. Not only people, but also cities are full of charm because of culture.

In London, cultural relics full of historical breath exude thousands of years of historical accumulation everywhere; In new york, the exchange and collision of multi-cultures make it a fashionable "world capital"; In Hong Kong, under the reputation of "Pearl of the Orient", the combination of culture and creativity can be seen everywhere; In Chengdu, the rich urban cultural heritage is intertwined with the new fashionable lifestyle.

The cultural characteristics of the city lead the aesthetic life of urban people, and the life of urban people promotes the economic and cultural development of the city. Chengdu, known as the "leisure capital", has a history of 4500 years. Chengdu people have a very strong economic and cultural foundation for life aesthetics. Today, we tell three stories. Through these microscopic dimensions, we will take you to "tour Chengdu" and appreciate the life aesthetics of a city through Chengdu.

Chengdu folk song performance

A piece of music "Chengdu may be the most suitable city for original music in China".

For Xiao Zhao, who loves original music, Chengdu is a "holy land". After studying in Chengdu for four years, he and his friends formed a band to create original works. "The music atmosphere in Chengdu is particularly good and inclusive." Speaking of his feelings about Chengdu's original music environment, Xiao Zhao told reporters without hesitation.

Xiao Zhao is from Inner Mongolia. In his eyes, one of the indicators of playing music is whether there are friends to play with. This is not a simple hobby, but requires the cultivation of the environment, which is available in Chengdu.

Xiao Zhao told reporters that Chengdu has great support for musicians, and government policies are frequently introduced. Many companies also hold regular activities to select talents from college students and folk music lovers and give them support. "Chengdu does have a lot of talents in music, which is inseparable from Chengdu's cultural atmosphere and lifestyle." Xiao Zhao sighed.

Xiao Zhao is just a microcosm of Chengdu's music environment. The stars of Chinese music, such as Jane Zhang and Jason, who came out of Chengdu, all showed the vitality of Chengdu's music, while all kinds of musicians who poured into Chengdu constantly reflected the charm of Chengdu's original ecological music environment. "Every year, many musicians from Gansu, Xinjiang and Yunnan come to Chengdu."

Xiao Zhao is just a microcosm of Chengdu's music environment.

"The best thing about Chengdu's music atmosphere is that people who love music, both professional and non-professional, are loving it with all their might." Xiao Zhao said that there is a bar in Chengdu that holds "ordinary people's concerts" every year, providing a platform for amateur musicians. Many "ordinary people" are very persistent about music. "When our band performed three years ago, I was particularly impressed that an aunt started to learn bel canto at the age of 50 and gave a concert, which was very shocking." He recalled that the whole music circle in Chengdu would give people a kind of vitality.

The recent completion of Chengdu Performing Arts Center provides a bigger platform for Chengdu's original music. As Chen Shufen, former chairman of the Hong Kong Performing Arts Association, said, "I used to choose to perform in the north, but now I have to choose Chengdu."

"Chengdu may be the most suitable city for making original music in China." Xiao Zhao sighed to reporters.

As a "city of music", Chengdu is booming in the music industry, and the market income of 20 17 music industry is expected to exceed 32 billion yuan. The reporter inquired from the original music ticketing website "Xiudong". Com "learned that there were 44 original music performances in Chengdu in 20 18 and 1 two months, including at most 7 performances a day.

B drama "The prosperity of drama returns, and Chengdu can't be wrong."

Beijing Star Theatre Village, which has been in business for 8 years, is one of the most dynamic small theater clusters in China, with more than 1 000 performances and an annual audience of 300,000, accumulating hundreds of thousands of theater audiences. It can be described as a "star" in the drama world.

July 20 17, Fanxing Drama Village settled in Chengdu, which will bring a regular and rich drama feast to Chengdu. "After the completion of the Fanxing Drama Village project, it is estimated that there will be about 500 performances a year, which should be normalized." Fan Xing, chairman of Beijing Tianyi Children's Song Co., Ltd, told the reporter.

Why did you choose Chengdu as the first stop to leave Beijing?

In Fan Xing's view, Chengdu has a strong cultural atmosphere and citizens have a strong demand for high-quality performances. "Audiences need theaters, and playwrights need theaters more." The settlement of Fanxing Drama Village will not only bring drama to Chengdu audience, but also provide a stage for Chengdu drama talents.

Memory in the eastern suburbs of Chengdu

Xing Fan chose very carefully. "Before we decided to settle in Chengdu, we also received invitations from cities such as Shanghai and Hangzhou. Previously, we visited Chengdu for more than a year, and we were deeply impressed by the strength and ambition demonstrated by Chengdu Wenchuang. " He told reporters that Chengdu is a city with a long history and unique charm. It not only has a vibrant Tianfu culture, but also has rich artistic talent resources and strong artistic demand, which is very attractive to them.

According to the data of barley net, dramas and stage plays are staged almost every month from 20 18 and 18 to May, and many of the drama performances in 1 month show that tickets are sold out. It is not difficult to see that the drama is not small in Chengdu.

"In the future, we will set up our own college group in Chengdu to provide high-quality content for the national audience and let the cultural products born in Chengdu go to the whole country." Fan Xing told reporters that drama has been an important part of people's lives since ancient times, and what we have to do now is to bring back the prosperity of drama. "I believe that Chengdu is no worse than Beishangguang, and more cultural and creative enterprises, artists and artistic talents will choose to create here and take root here."

In Fan Xing's eyes, Chengdu is a "city that you don't want to leave when you come", but it is also a city suitable for developing drama. "A label and a slogan cannot sum up Chengdu. Different levels have different labels, and drama is suitable for the development and growth of Chengdu. "

Visiting Gao Yan Bookstore in Chengdu has become a standard.

Although he has only been to Chengdu once, Zhang Fan is still fascinated by the city. "Super envious friends in Chengdu can always relax themselves in such a beautiful bookstore." This is the content of Zhang Fan's circle of friends when he visited Chengdu Bookstore. As a person who is used to punching in the city bookstore, Zhang Fan's love for Chengdu is not unreasonable.

In the "list of e-reading cities" released by Amazon China on 20 17, Chengdu ranks second in the country, which shows that the bookstore market in Chengdu, which loves reading, has considerable potential.

"Love reading" is also nourishing the development of physical bookstores in Chengdu.

Just three weeks ago, the "Gigi House" designed by the famous designer Shuhei Aoyama also appeared in Chengdu. "I hope to be a microcosm of the city through the bookstore, so that everyone can feel the urban culture of Chengdu while walking into the bookstore." Shuhei Aoyama said.

When the city nourishes the bookstore, the bookstore will also feed back the city.

Chen Dali, deputy general manager of Xinhua Wenxuan Publishing Media Co., Ltd. said that bookstores in Chengdu have contributed to the overall culture and creative atmosphere in Chengdu. "Bookstore is one of the cultural landmarks of a city, and reading is a portrayal of the spirit of the city. Under the rich atmosphere of Chengdu, the cultural outlook of Chengdu will be further enhanced. "
