China's state-run media CCTV holds the "Spring Festival Gala" (Spring Festival Gala) every year, and the artists and program lists are often the focus of attention.

Different from previous years, there are only two days left before the Spring Festival Gala of the Year of the Tiger, and the official program list has not yet been announced.

However, it has long been rumored on the Internet that Taiwanese artists who will be on the Spring Festival Gala this year include Michelle Chen, while Hong Kong artists include "Principal" Alan Tam and the "Wenner Five Tigers" composed of Wenner members.


Cross-strait relations have been tense in recent years.

In the past, when Taiwanese stars appeared on the Spring Festival Gala, many people believed that it was the export of Taiwanese pop culture, which had positive connotations for Taiwan.

But now that Taiwanese artists are on the Spring Festival Gala, some people in Taiwan regard them as "pro-China", while some people in mainland China understand that the star is "recognized" by the authorities.

Times have changed, and the "Spring Festival Gala" has become more "politically sensitive".


"Hong Kong 01" has been sorted from the first session in 1983 to the last (2021) CCTV Spring Festival Gala performing artists, and found that there are certain Taiwanese artists who appeared the most, and which artists have faded out of the Spring Festival Gala screen in recent years, and which are the "new faces of the Spring Festival Gala" "?

How is "Taiwanese Artists at the Spring Festival Gala" expressed in different time and space?


"Taiwanese Artists" at the first CCTV Spring Festival Gala

The CCTV Spring Festival Gala began in 1983. At that time, Taiwanese actor Lin Lifang took to the stage to perform the poem and recite the poem "I miss my relatives every festival" (she moved to Shanghai with her father when she was 6 years old).

Since then, except 1986, Taiwanese hosts, actors or singers and other entertainers have participated every year.

However, if Taiwanese pop culture or so-called popular artists are the first to appear on the Spring Festival Gala, it is Fei Xiang who lives in the United States.

In 1987, Fei Xiang sang "Clouds in Hometown" and "A Fire in Winter" on CCTV Spring Festival Gala, combined with Disco dance, became a popular performance in the Spring Festival Gala that year, and also showed the mainland people the charm of Taiwan's popular culture at that time.

In 1992, as many as 8 artists (groups) from Taiwan appeared on the Spring Festival Gala, setting a record in the century, including smash hit singers such as Fei Xiang, Little Tigers, Zhang Yusheng and Yu Chengqing.

In 1993, the CCTV Spring Festival Gala was the first to connect with studios in Hong Kong, Taiwan and Singapore, and artists from the three places also participated in the hosting.

Hong Kong artist Liang Yanling, Taiwan's popular anchor Li Qingan at the time, and artist Zhang Xiaoyan went to the Beijing Spring Festival Gala to host, while Taiwanese artists Hugua and Cao Lan hosted the show.

Since the beginning of the 21st century, Taiwanese pop culture has opened up an era of strong export. Wang Leehom, Jay Chou, Jolin Tsai, SHE, Liu Qian and others have appeared on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala one after another. Among them, Jay Chou topped the list with 6 appearances, followed by magician Liu Qian with 5 appearances. .

At that time, the relationship between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait was not as tense as it is today, and the media reports mostly focused on the content of the performances performed by artists.

"Hong Kong 01" found that from 2016 to 2021, CCTV Spring Festival Gala will always use "China Taiwan / China Hong Kong" when labeling artists.

In Taiwan, such a sign further reinforces the impression that "Taiwanese artists are 'being united by the United Front' when they participate in the Spring Festival Gala."

In addition, in recent years, more Taiwanese artists have made political statements at various CCTV festivals, or performed programs and songs with political connotations.

Every New Year's Eve, Taiwanese artists choose which side they choose to perform in, which is also regarded as a kind of "standing line".

In 2020, Ouyang Nana sang "My Motherland" in CCTV's Eleventh Party, causing controversy.

Regarding Taiwanese artists going to the CCTV show to sing songs with content such as "unification" and "motherland", Taiwan's Mainland Affairs Council responded, "Chinese people should not participate in relevant activities and become a model tool for the CCP's united front against Taiwan, and will pay close attention to the relevant situation. If there is a violation of the relevant provisions of the cross-strait regulations, it will be investigated and punished according to law.”

Taiwan's Chief Executive Su Zhenchang also said, "Some people enjoy Taiwan's freedom, democracy, and health care resources. As public figures, they even go to the other side to sing inappropriate songs. Chinese people have their own public comments."

The Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council responded, "The DPP has threatened and intimidated the Taiwanese people who have contacts with the mainland, and they want to add to the crime." Powerful symbol.
