The passage of time has engraved the massiness of history and the glory of civilization;
Wild tobacco creepers, vicissitudes of life, the ancient Millennium events vaguely reappear.
Alexander ended the dazzling ancient Greek civilization and ancient Egyptian civilization with an iron horse, and cyrus the great destroyed the prosperity of Babylonian dynasty by almost the same means. After the mysterious American civilization was plundered by greedy colonists, only loneliness stood in the overgrown jungle ... We can only marvel at the glorious history of ancient Greece; We can only stop at the splendid culture of ancient Greece.
The lost fate will not reappear, but the existence of countless dilapidated ruins gives us the possibility of looking back for a long time. It is in this retrospect that one ancient civilization gradually revealed her mysterious smile: wise ancient Greece; Great ancient Rome; Eternal ancient Egypt; Devout ancient India; Beautiful Babylon; The mysterious Maya and Inca ... exhibition, a little bit of historical memory about human civilization emerges, and everything seems distant and real.
"Words must be called Greece". Tracing back to western civilization, ancient Greek civilization cannot be bypassed. He is a bright pearl in the blue Aegean Sea and the golden key to western civilization. Its cultural heritage has been appreciated by the world so far: colorful myths, magnificent heroic poems, tragedies that see through the impermanence of fate, elegant and beautiful buildings, sculptures that embody the beauty of reason, and Olympic Games that symbolize fairness and peace. .....
The ancient Greek Olympic Games began in 776 BC. There are many legends about the origin of the ancient Greek Olympic Games, but from a historical perspective, the birth of the ancient Greek Olympic Games has a certain foundation.
The ancient Aegean civilization, like a bright lamp, lit up the Aegean Sea and the Greek Peninsula, which were still in the Stone Age. At the beginning of Greek civilization, the traces of bronze civilization were gradually erased, and the face of iron civilization gradually became clear. Homer, a talented poet, plays the harp and leads the world to recall the sad and happy years belonging to the stunning beauty Helen and the Trojan War.
In Homer's time, the worship of god was the focus of ancient Greek life, and the most beautiful building in the city-state was the temple. Olympic Games and drama evolved from the ritual of offering sacrifices to the gods ... In the two river basins of the East, Egypt, China and India all established brilliant empires, and ancient Greece absorbed the astronomy, mathematics and medical knowledge of ancient Babylon and ancient Egypt, as well as their agriculture, handicrafts, navigation and ironmaking techniques. Therefore, ancient Greece developed rapidly in the Mediterranean region and reached a peak. The ancient Olympic Games was born in such an era of relative prosperity and struggle.
The source of Olympic spirit is ancient Greek civilization, and it is also the representative of ancient Greek civilization. In ancient Greece, the worship of human physical strength and health was the basis of Olympic competition, and the challenge to human physical strength and skills reflected the sense of competition and pioneering. Its competitive process is characterized by "naked sports" and advocates body building.
The sacred truce of the ancient Olympic Games was not only a longing for peace, but also a manifestation of the Greek reverence for God and nature. These values of the ancient Greek Olympic Movement have become the core values of the modern Olympic Games.
When the modern Olympic Games rose, it was also the time when human science and technology advanced by leaps and bounds. For more than a century, science and technology have brought earth-shaking changes to human life, and also profoundly influenced the development and evolution of the Olympic Movement from all aspects. The Olympic spirit has undergone a historical evolution from challenging itself and pursuing the all-round development of human body and mind to pursuing the humanization of sports competition, the pluralistic harmony of human culture and the harmony between man and nature, which has injected distinctive characteristics of the times into the Olympic spirit.
On the one hand, western cultural elements such as democracy, freedom, competition, hard work, pioneering, enterprising, attaching importance to individuals and respecting science constitute the soul and core of the modern Olympic spirit, which makes the Olympic movement stick to a strong western cultural color.
On the other hand, with the development of the Olympic Movement around the world and the popularization of the Olympic spirit, the Olympic Movement has become a forum for gathering, dialogue and exchange of civilizations and cultures of various countries, a platform for the complementary existence of global cultural diversity and differences, and especially a platform for the blending and interaction of eastern and western civilizations.
Under the interactive influence of contemporary science and technology, humanities and ecological ethics, this cultural diversity and cultural dialogue of the Olympic Movement has become one of the important symbols of the development of human culture in the era of globalization, and has become a pan-culture dominated by nationalism, consumerism and commercialism.
The development process of more than one hundred years from the ancient Greek Olympic Games to the modern Olympic Games shows that there is a profound historical connection between the Olympic movement and artistic creation. While vividly and intuitively showing their life style and challenging the physiological limits of human beings, they are also actively absorbing artistic elements, striving to expand their own aesthetic expression and effectively stimulating human artistic creativity.
In this process, the Olympic movement and art meet constantly, which is reflected in almost all art forms, resulting in unique products such as Olympic visual identity system, Olympic art festival and Olympic architecture. Competitive sports also provide an important source and a broad stage for artistic creation in the fierce confrontation.
After Beijing's successful bid for the Olympic Games, China's research on the Olympic Movement has gradually deepened, and the research on Olympics and art has also developed in this process. In some public media, the relationship between Olympic symbols, posters and art is emphatically introduced, and the concept of "creating symbols and posters with visual art as the core has opened up a new world for the integration of sports and visual art" is put forward.
In some monographs published later, Olympic symbols, emblems, mascots, posters, commemorative medals, project patterns and souvenir collections were clearly placed in the category of Olympic movement and culture and art, and the relationship between Olympic movement and art was further analyzed.
After the 2008 Summer Olympic Games, China scholars broke through the limitations of studying phenomena from the perspectives of Olympic history and art history, and included many contents and factors covered by economy, politics and culture into their research scope. The study of Olympic movement and art has gradually shifted from understanding of materials and objects to understanding of practice. At present, the intersection of Olympic movement and art is also influenced by economic, political and scientific factors, and it is also affecting the development of social consciousness and human aesthetics.
The intersection of the Olympic movement and the future of art will be closely related to the development trend of the Olympic movement itself and the law of artistic development. They are creating their own prosperity in the process of mutual influence, mutual penetration and mutual promotion. The splendid flower of life watered by sports and art will surely bloom more brilliantly in the garden of human civilization.
The intersection of Olympic movement and art not only includes sports competitions, but also is closely related to various categories of art. The creation and planning of the intersection of Olympic movement and art can neither rely solely on sports workers nor rely entirely on artists. It needs the cooperation of the two, and needs compound talents and comprehensive teams who know both sports and Olympic movement and have the ability of artistic creation and planning, so as to better promote the development of the intersection of Olympic movement and art and create more perfect works of art.
After the 29th Olympic Games was successfully held in Beijing, many art-related activities were carried out in the preparatory process, which made the Olympic movement and art have a good intersection: the emblem with China characteristics, "Beijing dancing with Chinese knots"; Mascot "Fuwa"; Olympic songs were collected and launched in batches; And the propaganda slogan "One World, One Dream" belonging to the literary category; The Olympic theme is "Green Olympics, High-tech Olympics and People's Olympics".
These works not only show the eternal pursuit of the Olympics, but also show China's unique understanding of the Olympic spirit. Inspired by the Olympic spirit, Ms. Jian Huang, an internationally renowned Olympic sculpture artist, perfectly combined the masculine beauty and artistic charm of competitive sports with an artist's cultural feelings and responsibilities, and created a series of Olympic sports works that are well-known at home and abroad. They stood permanently in the International Olympic Center and the National Olympic Sports Center and won awards from the International Olympic Committee and the National Olympic Committee, which explained the artist's admiration and admiration for the universal value of the Olympic spirit and the profound connotation of cultural philosophy.
/kloc-More than 0/00 years of artistic creation and activities related to the Olympic Movement have provided valuable experience for us to bid for the Olympic Games again.
Drawing lessons from the unity and systematicness of artistic creation and activities in the Olympic history, taking internationalism, symbolism and surrealism as comprehensive and diverse artistic features, we will complete artistic creation and activities in the Olympic Games in a planned and organized way, grasp the latest development trend, and firmly take the road of internationalization on the premise of maintaining China's characteristics.
The artistic creation and activities in the China Olympic Games give us the opportunity to show the world the only uninterrupted civilization in China, as well as its cultural landscape, technological achievements and sports image, to enjoy the 5,000-year-old Chinese civilization with the world, to appreciate the ancient and modern features of China, especially Beijing, to shape the images of the new China and Beijing with a long cultural history and sports tradition, and to truly return the 5,000-year-old history and vast culture to the world.
