改革开放以来,中国电视媒体推出了众多真实性、思想性、艺术性高度统一的优秀纪录片,如上世纪80年代的《话说长江》《话说运河》《让历史告诉未来》,90年代的《毛泽东》《邓小平》《香港沧桑》,新世纪以来推出的《故宫》《大国崛起》《美丽中国》《帝国兴衰》等。这些纪录片在记录历史、认知现实、传播文化等方面发挥 Since the reform and opening up, the Chinese television media have released many excellent documentary films of great authenticity, ideologicality and artistry. For example, they talked about the Yangtze River in the 1980s, “told the history of the future”, “Mao Zedong,” “Deng Xiaoping ”Vicissitudes in Hong Kong“, the ”Forbidden City“ launched in the new century, the ”rise of great powers“, the ”beautiful China“ and the ”rise and fall of the empire." These documentaries play a part in recording history, cognitive reality and disseminating culture
