Historical background

The 1983 Spring Festival Gala set a precedent for a gala broadcast live nationwide and is generally recognized as CCTV's first Spring Festival Gala. The factors that contributed to the media ceremony of 1983 Spring Festival Gala came from both material and ideological aspects [85 ] :
On the material level, in 1958, Beijing Television Station (the predecessor of CCTV) was built and began to broadcast black and white TV programs on a trial basis. In 1979, all provincial-level administrative regions had set up television stations. In March 1983, the Ministry of Radio and Television put forward the slogan of "four-level television", allowing cities and counties to organize television stations [85 ] [88 ] . The policy of "four-level television" is particularly epoch-making and has provided a huge boost to the development of China's television industry. The popularity of TV in China is almost synchronized with the reform and opening up, and the rise of the Spring Festival Gala as a form of TV program also depends on the popularity of TV at home [85 ] .
In terms of concept, the 1980s was first of all a "time of vicissitude". National policies, social conditions, public opinions, and individual psychology were constantly changing. This uncertainty and people's desire for future prosperity were intertwined, and together they built a generally active and diverse cultural life landscape. "There is a structural ritual hunger that needs to be satisfied on New Year's Eve," and the gala "fills that structural void." [85 ] [89 ]

Origin and development

origin
1956 Spring Festival gala
The history of the China Media Group's Spring Festival gala can be traced back to the 1956 film" Spring Festival gala 》,该片由中央新闻纪录电影制片厂制作,以纪录片形式拍摄,邀请各界人士参与,是中国大陆有影像记录的第一场春节联欢晚会 [85 ] .
In 1979, CCTV recorded and broadcast a "teahouse" style party called the Spring Festival Gala, directed by Deng Zaijun and Yang Jie, director of Journey to the West. However, since there were only 4.85 million televisions in China in 1979, there was no social impact [22] ; In 1982, CCTV also broadcast the Spring Festival Gala in the form of recording [85 ] .
Initial exploration phase
In 1983, CCTV held a Spring Festival party in the form of live broadcast on the New Year's Eve, named "Spring Festival Gala", which was continued as a customary program on the New Year's Eve every year. In 1986, China Radio International began to broadcast the Spring Festival Gala in foreign languages overseas, which was the first step in the international dissemination of the Spring Festival Gala. In 1993, the arrangement of the Spring Festival Gala ushered in a major reform, from the original "tea party" format to "grand ceremony style", and strengthened the expression of the political significance of the grand narrative. In the same year, thanks to CCTV Chinese international channel With the establishment of CCTV-4, the Spring Festival Gala began to be broadcast overseas simultaneously via satellite signals. Since then, CCTV has continued to expand the language of its international channels, and the international transmission of the Spring Festival Gala has gradually covered more countries and regions [85 ] .
In the 1990s, the venue of the Spring Festival Gala was moved from the studio of the Broadcasting Compound on Beijing's South Lishi Road to the "Studio Hall No. 1" of CCTV on Fuxing Road, and attempts were made to set up sub-venues of the evening party to achieve simultaneous live broadcasting of the main venue and sub-venue. The expansion of media ceremony exhibition space expands the number of "present" audience, and makes the ceremony more grand, and its ritual appeal is also improved. The popularity of CD, DVD and karaoke as well as the outbreak of record and film industry make it possible for the excellent programs and songs of the Spring Festival Gala to be re-propagated and classically built in the folk [85 ] .
Internet live broadcast stage
In 1996, CCTV was established CCTV network In 2001, the Spring Festival Gala was broadcast live on the Internet for the first time. Since then, the international communication channels of the Spring Festival Gala have been expanded to a new pattern of radio, television and Internet [85 ] .
In the 21st century, the stage of the Spring Festival Gala has gradually increased the huge background screen, advanced mechanical filming and stage installation, VR (virtual reality), AR (augmented reality) and other future image technology means and the innovative application of "vertical screen viewing Spring Festival Gala" have further enhanced the audio-visual experience. At the same time, the audience's ceremonial interaction with the Spring Festival Gala is also interactive by SMS in the traditional telecommunications industry, such as "my favorite Spring Festival Gala program" voting, "Collecting milk names for giant pandas donated to Taiwan" and "Collecting milk names for pandas donated to Taiwan". Direct Spring Festival Gala "Program selection, etc., to the network era of online voting and real-time comment interaction evolution.

  • Opera and other programmes
In the early days of the Spring Festival Gala, opera programs played an important role. In the 1983 CCTV Spring Festival Gala, Yuan Shihai The performance of "Sitting in a village and stealing a horse" won a full house.

Although the creators have tried to attract the audience's attention with more diversified forms, such as opera sketches, opera songs and dances, opera cross-dressing, etc., they have failed to change the declining situation of opera programs.

Social value
The Spring Festival Gala of the China Media Group has made a commendable and vivid practice in propagating the Party's economic line, implementing the Party's economic policy and disseminating the Party's economic policy. [84 ]
Viewed from the perspective of the value chain, the Spring Festival Gala of the China Media Group is more about providing channels or platform functions to build a bridge between the supply and demand of film and television cultural products. In essence, all kinds of literary and artistic works on the Spring Festival Gala stage are mainly similar to "resale" rather than value-added functions. Scarcity and path dependence superimpose each other, further consolidating the unshakable monopoly position of the Spring Festival Gala. "Monopoly" here is not derogatory nor caused by administrative reasons, but refers to a special market pattern of supply and demand. [83 ]
The Spring Festival Gala of China Media Group was born and developed along with the process of reform and opening up. At the same time, it also witnessed and recorded the development and changes of Chinese society since the reform and opening up. Through the "Spring Festival Gala", we can see the changes of China's economic development situation. [123 ]

culture

Pluralistic symbiosis of cultural values
The gala 'aims to explore the cultural significance of the traditional Spring Festival' [86 ] . The cultural core of the gala is the values associated with the Spring Festival, that is, the symbolic meaning of spring as a symbol of rebirth and family reunion. The Spring Festival Gala often presents cultural values based on traditional Chinese values of filial piety, benevolence, emphasis on education and emphasis on social harmony. One of the important meanings of the Spring Festival Gala as a media ceremony is to "gather" people together based on the above cultural values, and repeatedly construct and strengthen these cultural values in a ritualized atmosphere. Establish or consolidate cultural consensus and construct collective cultural memory.
With the transformation of the attributes of the Spring Festival Gala "from the flow to the flow, from the crowd to the masses", it eventually becomes an inclusive culture. The interweaving of China and the West, the traditional and the modern, shows the difference in taste between generations within the Chinese nation, also demonstrates the tolerance of the Chinese civilization, and also shows the pluralistic and modern side of China in the international field, enriching the presentation of the "China story" [85 ] .
Cultural elements are flourishing and diverse
The Gala, through a carefully designed text and structure that emphasizes cultural and national symbols, plays the role of a secular ritual in the formation of cultural identity. It plays the role of a cultural carnival in the national ideological discourse, creating an image of "one united and happy Chinese family. [87 ] . Since the first Spring Festival Gala in 1983, ethnic elements have been an indispensable part of the gala. With the help of the Spring Festival Gala, the diverse minority cultures have realized the integration of spiritual values at home, and demonstrated the diversified aesthetic attainments and cultural elegance of China as a unified multi-ethnic country in the international communication [85 ] .
The consolidation and strengthening of cultural identity
One of the important missions of the international communication of the Spring Festival Gala is to unite overseas Chinese with the inheritance and identity of Chinese culture. Chinese people around the world have completed the leap to the Lunar New Year together, and the behavior of watching the Spring Festival Gala transcends the geographical division, becoming a ceremony for Chinese people at home and abroad to "gather" in virtual time and space and jointly recall history, understand culture and strengthen identity [85 ] .

political

The Spring Festival Gala has formed a unique program flow and relatively fixed mode, rising from a pure variety show to an important carrier of national grand narrative. Under the vision of the communication ceremony, the Spring Festival Gala continues to express the shared beliefs of the mainstream of Chinese society [85 ] .
Facing the international community, the communication function of the Spring Festival Gala in the political dimension is mainly manifested as shaping China's national image and promoting Chinese ideas to overseas audiences. By presenting Chinese culture, history, traditional customs and the latest social developments to overseas audiences, China's national image and international status are constantly improved. Through the presentation of traditional culture, overseas audiences can have an in-depth understanding of all aspects of China [85 ] .
The gala also showcases major national political events and hot social issues to show overseas audiences China's stable and united social environment and progress in political and economic fields. By presenting to overseas audiences the development of China's economy, the effectiveness of the Chinese government's governance, and the harmony and stability of Chinese society, the Spring Festival Gala has created an attractive and competitive national image of China to overseas audiences [85 ] .
