However, the significance of this film is not limited to "taking a Chinese culture class", but through vivid pictures, we can re-recognize those familiar names and realize that they are not only great poets and writers, but also flesh-and-blood people. Just like Li Bai in the film, he experienced many twists and turns in the craze of Tang Dynasty literati to build their careers, and was forced to marry into a family, and was entangled between entering the world and leaving the world. What we see is not only his legendary story, the unpredictability of historical waves, but also his perception of life and understanding of fate.

Secondly, "30,000 Miles of Chang'an" incorporates a lot of poetry elements. The Tang Dynasty was the golden age of Chinese poetry, and many classics were created during this period. This drama uses these classic poems to enhance emotional expression and atmosphere creation.

Why can poetry drive the craze for Chinese studies?

As we all know, one of the most important components of Chinese traditional culture is poetry, which not only has extremely high artistic value, but also carries the significance of history, culture and national spirit.

In today's society, the "Chinese Studies Fever" is gradually rising, and more and more young people are beginning to pay attention to and learn Chinese traditional culture. One of the important reasons is the recognition of the rich philosophy and emotional expression contained in Chinese traditional culture.

In real life, reciting poems seems to have become a thing of the past. But in fact, in the process of reciting poems, we can thoroughly understand the thoughts and beauty contained in them and draw inspiration from them.

How to enable young people to better accept Chinese culture education

Although the "Chinese studies craze" has gradually emerged and more and more young people have begun to pay attention to and learn about traditional Chinese culture, we still need to think about how to enable more young people to receive Chinese studies education and integrate it into their daily lives and work.

The popularity of "Chang'an 30,000 Miles" is a microcosm of the surge of excellent traditional culture. In recent years, from the dance "Only Green" to the variety show "National Treasure", to the popular song "Light" that cleverly combines Song poetry and opera, more and more traditional cultures are accelerating their "breakthrough" in "fashionable transformation".

How can the ancient excellent traditional culture be "reborn"? The secret of success behind this is that it has found a stunning expression of the times in the process of maintaining the integrity and making innovations.

During the Spring Festival of 2021, the dance "Tang Palace Night Banquet" became a hit. Its creative blueprint was the precious cultural relics such as "Dou Lian Tu", "Fu Hao Owl Zun" and "Ladies with Flowers in Their Hair". During this year's Dragon Boat Festival holiday, the dragon boat races in the north and south achieved a carnival for the whole nation. Behind this is not only the long-term inheritance and protection, but also the in-depth exploration of the dragon boat spirit of "unity and progress".

Chinese civilization is outstandingly innovative. Only by moving forward while adhering to the orthodox tradition and innovating while respecting the past can the inheritance of civilization continue uninterrupted and flourish. In recent years, new technologies such as 5G and AR have made cultural relics "alive" and museums "popular". Traditional culture is interpreting "Why China" with more stunning expressions and more fashionable faces.

We may not be comparable to great poets such as Li Bai and Du Fu, but we can all think about what we should do and how we should realize our dreams and pursue happiness in our own way. If we say that what has changed over the past thousands of years is the tide of the times and the passing of time, then what has not changed is the spirit of Chinese traditional culture that is worthy of heaven and earth.

"30,000 Miles from Chang'an" not only preserves historical memory, but also highlights the profound philosophy and wisdom contained in Chinese traditional culture - it still has very important significance and value even today.

In short, the momentum of "Chang'an 30,000 Miles" is magnificent and the theme is profound, but it does not want to "teach" us how to live our lives. What is important is that after watching the movie, can we draw nutrition and inspiration from it? This may be the fundamental reason why this film can become popular - we can all see ourselves and life in the movie .
