Flourishing Elegance in the Eyes of Tang Scholars: The Animated Movie 'Three Thousand Miles of Chang'an' Profoundly Showcases Chinese Cultural Heritage

This summer's film market is buzzing with excitement, and three domestic films, 'Vanishing Her,' 'In the Octagonal Cage,' and 'Three Thousand Miles of Chang'an,' have become the talk of the town. 'Three Thousand Miles of Chang'an' is the most unique among them as an animated movie that initially attracted many viewers with children, but eventually left a deep impression on them.

The movie has a runtime of nearly 3 hours and tells the story from the perspective of Tang poet Gao Shi, focusing on his acquaintance with Li Bai and beyond. The film not only presents portraits of poets like Du Fu and Wang Wei but also delves into life's encounters.

After its release, 'Three Thousand Miles of Chang'an' received continuous acclaim, currently holding an impressive 8.2 rating on Douban, making it one of the best-rated films of the year.

China Central Television CCTV 6, known as the 'Six Princesses,' praised the film during its review program, stating, 'Poetry speaks of aspirations and personal feelings. In the movie 'Three Thousand Miles of Chang'an,' the personal experiences of Tang poets unfold before us for nearly 3 hours, with profound cultural implications. At this level, we are deeply shaken by Chinese culture, a completely natural response.'

Many viewers were particularly moved by Li Bai's 'Drinking Alone Under the Moon,' especially the lines, 'I am happy to enjoy life's pleasures and not let a golden goblet face an empty moon. Given my innate talent, wealth will return even after squandering thousands of gold coins.'

Even online commentators remarked, 'The impact of 'Three Thousand Miles of Chang'an' is immense! Last night, I couldn't help but immerse myself in the magnificent era of the flourishing Tang Dynasty, thinking about Li Bai, Du Fu, Gao Shi, Meng Haoran, Wang Wei, Wang Changling, Guo Ziyi, and even An Lushan and Li Linfu! I wanted to know everything about them! Especially Li Bai's 'Drinking Alone Under the Moon,' which has left an indelible mark in my mind! This domestic animated film should have been released more than a decade ago; I might have scored several extra points in my Chinese language exams!'
