During the Northern Song Dynasty, a young man named Wang Ximeng used a paintbrush to "aerial photograph" the thousands of miles of scenery of the Song Dynasty, and created the magnificent "Thousand Miles Map of Rivers and Mountains". A thousand years later, the dance poetic drama "Only Green" reinterpreted this handed down picture with elegant and beautiful classical aesthetics and vivid body art.

Time and space crisscross. The dancers take the audience to the time when the teenager is about to finish his work, enter his painting world, and start a dialogue between ancient and modern times.

Zhang Han, the star of Only Green, said that in the performance, the dancers cut into the creation process of the painting from the perspective of modern people, and interpreted the continuous mountains and flowing water with the change of formation; From the perspective of the exhibitor, feel the humanistic nature, the realm and concept of the unity of heaven and man in the Northern Song Dynasty.

The Painting of Rivers and Mountains over a Thousand Miles not only interprets the green landscape painting with realistic techniques, but also remains calm and elegant under strong colors.

"This is the symphony of ancient green mountains and waters," said Feng Yuan, the painter. Today, a grass, a stream of water and a touch of color play again in another way. Green water and green mountains are not only the inheritance of culture, but also the prospect of the times.
