More than a thousand years ago, Li Bai, a poet of the Tang Dynasty, wrote in "Xing on the Spring Day":
The high-rise buildings in the deep palace enter the Ziqing Dynasty, and the gold is made of Jiaolong and embroidered. The beautiful woman is at the window to make the day, and the string will play the zither in sign language. The spring breeze blows off the king's ears, this song is about ascending to heaven. Because the Tianchi is full of fluffy, the building and boat are shocked by the waves...
Today, the "heavenly zheng sound" described in this poem has really become a reality - "Shenzhou No. 13" in the creative symphony of ethnic musical instruments at the opening of the "2022 Lantern Festival Gala" by CCTV Astronaut Wang Yaping played the classic melody "Jasmine Flower" on the guzheng on the space station. The musical blessing from space and the live folk music are skillfully combined to create the magical effect of traveling through the universe and the harmony of heaven and earth. Netizens praised Wang Yaping's performance as "this song should only be found in the sky, but can be heard several times in the world". And this romance, which is unique to the Chinese, has also won praises from guzheng artists!
"Shenzhou No. 13" astronaut Wang Yaping used zheng music in space to send out the wonderful sound of China to the world. After being broadcast by CCTV Lantern Festival, he amazed the world. She brought people good wishes with the purest Chinese voice, not only promoted the excellent traditional Chinese culture, but also showed the style of contemporary China. It is the most beautiful encounter between ancient Chinese civilization and China's cutting-edge science and technology in the new era.
As literary and artistic workers and guzheng professional artists, we should spare no effort to spread Chinese guzheng art to the world, show China's excellent traditional national instrumental music culture, tell the story of Chinese music to the world, and convey a firm cultural confidence with China's excellent traditional culture. , to contribute to the great cultural prosperity and development of the new era.
The circle of friends was swiped by "Zheng Yin from the Sky", which is beautiful and romantic. We have an ancient song in China, "The Moon's High", also known as "The Song of Feather Clothes with Neon Clothes". According to legend, it was the sound of the night tour of the Moon Palace in Emperor Ming's dream. Today, in 2022, the Chinese astronauts played the world-facing, facing The voice of the nation in the universe, "Jasmine" resounded through space, and moved countless guzheng artists. This is a romance that belongs only to the Chinese!
"Xianle Piao Piao Piao Piao New Era", this is the "Neon Clothes and Feather Clothes Song" in our new era! This is the cultural self-confidence that belongs to our Chinese!
I was very excited when I heard that the melody of "Jasmine" could be played in space, and it was expressed in the way of "Zheng". Aerospace heroine Wang Yaping can play the melody of jasmine flowers in space with a guzheng in the most simple way, which is a kind of "Chinese romance" unique to Chinese civilization. What impresses me the most is that her performance is simple without too many skills and blessings. It seems to mean more blank space, and it seems to communicate and dialogue with other civilizations in the world, seeking common ground while reserving differences, and each has its own beauty.
Among the many flower language blessings about "jasmine", I vaguely remember one of them is "blessings and love for family members". Perhaps this is also a romance that belongs only to the Chinese - no matter how "the sea of stars" the dream is, he always has a heart of tolerance and greatness, and keeps exploring for the dream of "one family in the world". Sincerely wish every "Dream Chaser" can make their dreams come true, let's go to the future together!
On October 15, 2021, Zhai Zhigang, Wang Yaping and Ye Guangfu started a half-year "space trip" on "Shenzhou 13". Because the "business trip" is long, the astronauts have arranged their "spare time" in space before departure.

In the interview, Wang Yaping once said that he brought a musical instrument to space, and revealed that the musical instrument he brought was "relatively large", and he planned to display Chinese culture in space.

Coincidentally, another astronaut, Ye Guangfu, also took a musical instrument on a "business trip" to space, and used cucurbit silk to play "Phoenix Tail Bamboo in the Moonlight" on the space station. After listening to Ye Guangfu's cucurbit flute performance in the space station, netizens commented: "Listening to the wonderful song, I think of the beautiful and colorful Yunnan." "'Poetry's distant hometown of dreams' is about Yunnan!"
Since ancient times, "Heaven" in Chinese culture has been the unknown, the power, the time, and the stars... This glyph itself is a symbol of the relationship between man and nature.
In the opinion of Mr. Qian Xuesen, the founder of China Aerospace: "We Chinese, if we want to have a name with Chinese characteristics, we will be called 'Tian'." Therefore, astronauts exclusively for China were born; for us, " "Spaceflight" is a scientific expression and a Chinese romance.
Flying around the earth for four months, the "Shenzhou 13" astronauts will experience 16 sunrises and sunsets every day, and in addition to the cosmic galaxy, they also have "Chinese romance" with them. The performances of the astronauts showed the unique charm of traditional culture and enhanced the influence and appeal of Chinese excellent traditional culture.
Let's cheer for the "space trip trio" together and look forward to their safe return!
