從大年初二開始在央視播出的《中國詩詞大會(huì)》第二季,掀起了一股“全民詩詞”的熱潮。這檔文化類綜藝節(jié)目被網(wǎng)友稱為“電視界的一股清流”。百人團(tuán)組成行走的“詩詞庫”,王立群、康震、蒙曼和酈波四位專家點(diǎn)評精準(zhǔn)獨(dú)到,加上溫婉知性的主持人董卿,滿腹詩書的選手,一起為觀眾奉上了10集“詩詞界的饕餮盛宴”。
在點(diǎn)評專家、中央民族大學(xué)副教授蒙曼看來,《中國詩詞大會(huì)》之所以能引起共鳴,就是打動(dòng)了中國人的一顆“詩心”?!案澜缟掀渌魏蚊褡逑啾龋覀兪亲類墼姷拿褡?。《詩經(jīng)》和《楚辭》作為源頭,唐詩宋詞作為高峰,一直到當(dāng)代毛主席詩詞選,中國人習(xí)慣以詩來表達(dá)自己的情感,表達(dá)自己的審美情趣和人生情趣”,這節(jié)目恰恰打在了中國人內(nèi)心最敏感、最柔軟的地方?!拔覀冋剛鹘y(tǒng)文化復(fù)興,‘美是先行,因?yàn)椤啦拍軐?dǎo)出‘善。人們需要精神上的東西,而詩和其他任何形式相比,是最屬心的?!?/p>
但也有人持反對意見,認(rèn)為《中國詩詞大會(huì)》以“競技”吸引眼球,以“話題”制造噱頭,相比之前的《中華詩詞大會(huì)》,含金量遠(yuǎn)遠(yuǎn)不夠。
的確,不管《中國詩詞大會(huì)》上的選手多么滿腹經(jīng)綸,不管點(diǎn)評嘉賓多么妙語連珠,不管主持人董卿的談吐氣質(zhì)多么不凡,這終究還是一檔在電視臺播放的綜藝節(jié)目。而綜藝節(jié)目就必然要遵循其客觀規(guī)律,即制造引爆點(diǎn),吸引觀眾眼球,制造話題,繼而推廣傳播。
相較第一季,《中國詩詞大會(huì)》第二季在內(nèi)容拓展、賽制設(shè)計(jì)、舞美呈現(xiàn)等方面都有了全面升級。在第二季中,欄目組創(chuàng)造性地使用了水舞臺,梯田造型線條優(yōu)美流暢,在燈光效果下,波光粼粼、詩意盎然。在百人團(tuán)答題時(shí),大屏幕配合萬箭齊發(fā)的效果,答錯(cuò)題者前方的盾牌被擊碎,現(xiàn)場一片刀光劍影,營造緊張的競賽氛圍。如此百余位詩詞達(dá)人、十場擂臺賽的激烈角逐,堪稱扣人心弦,懸念迭出。
其實(shí)我們一直面臨這樣一個(gè)問題:即,每個(gè)人身上都有中華優(yōu)秀文化的基因,但這樣的基因?yàn)楹纬31粔阂?,而不是被喚醒呢?毋庸置疑,現(xiàn)在是一個(gè)快餐式閱讀時(shí)代,浮躁的氣息似乎具有極強(qiáng)的傳染性,即便明白開卷有益的道理,許多人依然缺乏耐心與沉靜,不愿去品味詩詞歌賦的美好意境。那么如此看來,引起熱潮的《中國詩詞大會(huì)》就像一扇窗,或者一把鑰匙,它是帶領(lǐng)你走進(jìn)詩詞世界的一次機(jī)遇,而非全部。
筆者幾個(gè)同學(xué)是小學(xué)的語文老師,他們認(rèn)為,《中國詩詞大會(huì)》屬于合家歡型的綜藝節(jié)目,對于孩子和大人來說是一種開拓視野的方式,可以見到很多平時(shí)不常見的或者經(jīng)常說錯(cuò)的詞語。其中一個(gè)老師說,現(xiàn)在電腦化,提筆忘字是常有的事,而《中國詩詞大會(huì)》、包括之前《中國漢字聽寫大會(huì)》都是培養(yǎng)孩子多角度了解中國、繼承中國傳統(tǒng)文化的一種方式。因?yàn)樵谶@位老師教過的孩子中,就有因?yàn)榭催^類似這種節(jié)目而激發(fā)對詩詞特別興趣,從而去鉆研詩歌的。
在中國傳統(tǒng)文化的教育上,我們走了彎路。一方面,傳統(tǒng)文化的教育曾經(jīng)被擠到了邊緣,近些年才再獲重視。而課堂中的詩詞教育,又往往拋卻詩詞的絕妙詞句和美好意境,只專注于咀嚼詩詞的“中心思想”,專注于由此衍生的各種試題。這樣的傳授方式,往往讓學(xué)生對詩詞失去興趣。另一方面,在許多家長的內(nèi)心中,過度專注于對孩子“一技之長”的培養(yǎng),讓詩詞歌賦等浸潤心靈的知識不知不覺間受到冷落。
《中國詩詞大會(huì)》的走紅,恰恰說明了中華五千年優(yōu)秀文化的巨大生命力和感召力。
在這樣一個(gè)節(jié)奏明快、資訊發(fā)達(dá)的時(shí)代,坐下來聊聊詩歌、品味人生無疑是一種高尚的情操。然而,在追求幸福的道路上,除了奮斗的力量,還需要“詩和遠(yuǎn)方”。中國的人均GDP已達(dá)8000美元左右,內(nèi)心的精彩充實(shí)將會(huì)成為更多人的追求。希望《中國詩詞大會(huì)》引起的這股風(fēng)潮,能夠一路走下去,讓古老的詩詞歌賦再度煥發(fā)青春,也讓“腹有詩書氣自華”成為更多人的追求。
The screening of the second season of the 10-episode on CCTV earlier this year has kicked off a new wave of passion in Chinese poetry and culture among the public. The charismatic literary talent of Dong Qing - the shows host, competitors and a quartet panel of experts (Wang Liqun, Tang Zhen, Meng Man and Li Bo) wowed audiences, reigniting the nations passion for ancient Chinese culture. Competitors from all different walks of life and from all over the world also lightened up the stage.
Through the eyes of Meng Man, representing the Beijing-based the Central University of Nationalities, the TV show “touches the poet-loving heart of all Chinese people” and poetry “touches human heart more than any other art forms”.
“Plus, the Chinese people love poetry more than any other nationality,” the Associate Professor announced, adding that “poetry serves as a good start in the reinvigoration of traditional Chinese culture in todays society.”
Compared with the first season, there was noticeable upgrading in content design, competition system design and stage design in the second season of the show. The new stage design created a more poetic atmosphere and added a lot of thrill to the show.
In todays materialistic social climate, it is one thing to know that reading enriches the mind; it is another to squeeze in half an hour every day to read a book, not to mention the patience and mood for the appreciation of the beauty of poems. In this sense, the TV quiz show served as an antidote to urban maladies such as impatience.
Many in the primary education circle of China agree that the TV quiz show appeals to both children and adults, in that it broadens the viewers vision and enlightens one on spelling and pronunciation mistakes that can occur easily. In todays computer-dominated world, the quiz show serves as a strong reminder of how the younger generations of the Chinese people have forgotten the beauty of handwriting Chinese characters. The popularity of the show has triggered the interest in Chinese poetry in children and parents.
To a certain extent, the education of traditional Chinese culture had long detoured into a marginal zone till recent years. Although poetry has been a standard part of classroom learning, the appreciation of its literary beauty is far from being adequate. Instead, students tend to lose interest in poetry learning due to boring teaching methods.
The success of the quiz show is an illustration of the unfailing vitality and appeal of the long-standing Chinese culture.
It is becoming a luxury to sit down and talk about poetry and life in such a way in todays fast-paced society. However, with the GDP per capita of China topping 8,000 USD, it is becoming a trend among a growing number of people to pursue spiritual rich, as shown by the ‘cultural waves brought by the TV show.
