China's most-watched TV show: The Spring Festival Gala

From: BBC StoryWorks

The Chinese New Year is undoubtedly the most important festival for China's 1.4 billion people. Although the celebrations vary from place to place, people from almost every corner of the country, as well as many Chinese people overseas, spend the evening watching Chunwan, the Spring Festival Gala produced by China Central Television (CCTV, CMG). It is one of the premier television events on China's entertainment calendar.

For many Chinese, the term Spring Festival Gala creates a magical feeling. It triggers nostalgic memories of when family members gathered around their TV sets with snacks, ready to catch every moment of the spectacular performances on Chinese New Year's Eve.

The tradition began in 1983 when the first annual Chinese New Year Celebration Evening Gala was held. The show featured song-and-dance performances by artists selected from around the country. Audiences could even phone in to request their favourite song. And every year since then at the turn of the Chinese New Year, the program has begun at 8pm, lasting until the early morning of the New Year.

Before and after the Spring Festival Gala every year, all kinds of discussions about the program become a trending cultural event. The gala has sent several artists into stardom in the past few decades, and many have come back for repeat appearances once they have become household names.

In recent years, the Gala has tried to re-establish itself with some fresh elements, such as incorporating new visualisation technology and creating interactive experiences for the audience. AI+VR naked eye 3D technology starts to appear on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala, and through special shooting methods and production means, it brings a breakthrough experience for those watching it on TV or their mobile devices. 

As technology advances, the stage expands as well. In recent years, segments of the show have been performed in and broadcast from sub-venues scattered around the country. The show is a great opportunity to understand what people's experiences in China in the past year, and its evolution is in many ways representative of China's wider technological growth and social development.      

Now almost four decades since its inception, Chunwan has grown into something more than just a television show. It represents a nationally shared experience, a collective memory. About 30 or 40 years from now, it may look completely different from what we're experiencing today. But one thing's for sure: as long as the festival continues, the show goes on.
