The 2026 CCTV Spring Festival Gala had a wonderful cultural show called Ode to the Flower Gods(《贺花神》). This show got its inspiration(灵感) from the White Jade Twelve-Month Pendants in the Palace Museum. It connects twelve months, twelve beautiful flowers and twelve famous historical people into a poetic show. It tells people the beauty of traditional Chinese culture. It also shows that flowers can stand for important virtues(美德) and good values.
What makes the show distinctive is that each flower is paired with a figure who embodies a similar spirit. The lineup includes seven great writers: Lin Bu, Lu You, Zhou Dunyi, Xu Wei, Tao Yuanming, Li Qingzhao and Bai Juyi. Their virtues align with the symbolic meanings of the plum blossom, apricot blossom, lotus, hollyhock, chrysanthemum, sweet osmanthus and camellia. The performance also features four legendary female figures: Xi Furen, Yang Yuhuan, Wang Zhaojun and Luo Shen, who are paired with peach blossoms, peonies, cotton roses and daffodils. Zhang Qian, the explorer who introduced pomegranates into China, stands for the pioneering spirit of the pomegranate blossom. In this way, the show breaks the stereotype(成见) that flower gods must be female, while fully expressing the Chinese philosophy(理念) of "seeing virtues in flowers".
With the help of advanced AIGC technology, the show mixes real performances with digital scenes. The twelve jade pendants on the stage form a full circle at last. It stands for the cycle of time and the beauty of harmony.
The show is more than just an artistic success. It helps young people get closer to their cultural roots. It keeps traditional culture alive in the digital age and shows our strong and gentle cultural confidence.
