On the Beginning of Spring, all things are renewed. The twenty-four solar terms, listed by UNESCO as Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity, embody the Chinese people's meticulous carving of time, and provide endless room for imagination in literary creation.

 

China Radio Art Troupe, together with the Chinese and Foreign Language Exchange and Cooperation Center, explores the contemporary international communication value behind Chinese festival culture and invites more than 30 artists to create 24 episodes of Chinese festival culture music short videos "Melodies of 24 Solar Terms".

 

The series of short videos "Melodies of 24 Solar Terms" takes the 24 solar terms as its intention and the original concert "Life Rhythms - Symphonic Suite Concert of the 24 Solar Terms" by China Radio Art Troupe as its core content. The concert is a series of concerts, which are performed by more than 30 artists, including conductors, performers, directors, planners, cultural scholars and record publishers. The twenty-four episodes correspond to the twenty-four solar terms and are combined with twenty-four musical compositions. The artists talk about the cultural heritage, folkloric characteristics and musical creation concepts of each solar term in the Summer Palace, Guozijian, Beihai Park, Zizhuyuan and other classical buildings with Chinese characteristics, conveying the charm of traditional Chinese culture from an artistic perspective.
