Work evaluation

《Travel with Tang poetry》The focus of each episode is slightly different, some focus on travel and self-dialogue, and some focus on the understanding and imagination of poets.The film does not pursue expert-level annotative analysis, but only uses travel as a footnote to thread the story, and the appreciation of landscapes and poetry brought about by it is both fascinating and interesting.Although whether there is a real-life experience does not affect the understanding of literature itself, the film still uses beautiful and magnificent shots and in-depth and simple narration to inspire the audience to touch the poet's Dantian and understand how they interacted with time, landscape, and experience.Breathe out the eternal beauty and emotion.Just because I have a more vivid and personal feeling about the five poets after watching it, the film is really worth it (《Comment by Dazhong Daily》).

《Travel with Tang poetry》In the form of a documentary, travel across mountains and rivers and travel through thousands of years.This goes beyond the general understanding of "travel". Beyond the landscape, the film integrates history and humanity, decodes cultural genes, links the poet's soul, completes exploration and discovery, and completes a new attempt to tell Chinese stories well in the triple discovery..The film expands and deepens the concept of “travel” on multiple levels.Here there is the understanding of historical figures, the enlightenment of nature to human beings, the stirring of the soul in cultural inheritance, and the discovery of the secrets of telling Chinese stories well in the collision of poetic minds (《Sichuan Daily》Commentary).
