What are the three major music and dance epics of New China?

1964, in order to celebrate the founding of People's Republic of China (PRC) 15 anniversary, the music and dance epic "Dongfanghong" was created and performed at the initiative of Zhou Enlai, which is an excellent work with perfect combination of content and form.

1984 performed the music and dance epic Song of the Chinese Revolution, which generally showed the arduous and brilliant historical process of China from the May 4th Movement to the 12th Congress of the China * * * Production Party.

The road to revival, a large-scale music and dance epic performed in 2009, artistically reproduces the historical picture from the beginning of the Opium War at 1840 to 169 now.

Extended data:

The Road to Rejuvenation is the third large-scale music and dance epic with great political and cultural significance in China's cultural and artistic history after Dongfanghong and Song of the Chinese Revolution.

Taking time as the clue and major historical events as the carrier, it is divided into five sections: mountain and river sacrifice, blood footprint, entrepreneurship, spring tide song and Chinese ode. Through the rich dance vocabulary, the brilliant and great road of rejuvenation of the Chinese nation since 1840 has been artistically and intensively displayed.
