Abstract:

In the technological world dominated by science and technology, art that can be mechanically duplicated and that lays emphasize on forms and technology are prevailing. Meanwhile, warm Chinese characters festivals and cold number festivals coexist. However, quyi (Chinese folk art forms) that originally connects Chinese rural life and festivals is forced to detach itself from the original rural context and present itself on stage and be videoed, which has both advantages and disadvantages. Facing the pressure from the technological world and the inducement of mechanically duplicated art, quyi shall solidify its foundation with an open mind, adhere to the spirit of serving neighborhood and paying attention to ordinary people, and respect its audiences and itself as well. In this way, quyi will renew itself rather than degenerate in urban China based on the technological world.
