It’s Chinese New Year time! Obviously, we have to do something ~*~special~*~ for this occasion. Every year, CCTV produces a Spring Festival Gala show, which used to be the most watched TV show in all of China. It might still be. I’m not sure. I know my family definitely makes a tradition out of watching it together, despite how bad it’s gotten lately. It’s a very long program, 4 hours in length, but since I’m going to watch it anyways, I thought I’d pick out the best performances this year and recommend it to you guys~
P. S. I thought this performance was part of the broadcast, but it seems to be a regional thing? I’m now obsessed with 越剧, regardless. Also amused that they’re ok with cross dressing and reverse roles as long as it’s traditional stuff. 😂
Your recap is greatly appreciated in the U.S. where we have no way to see or understand about Chinese culture or celebrations. Very interesting and informative.
You were right the wire dance and the acro were amazing. The performance from Xinjiang was interesting too, a mix of chinese and islamic world influences. The mongol band was The Hu we have at home.
Thanks for the highlights and Happy Chinese New Year. Year of the dragon. Oh my!
Thank you for this amazing recap. I didn’t plan to watch the gala but will definitely watch those segments.
May I ask why tou call the languages which are spoken in China besides mandarin “dialects”? Isn’t this creating an artificial hierarchy between mandarin which is a full blown language, and then all those other tongues which are dialects?
