Number three is one of the most important and mysterious elements in Eastern culture.
In ancient times, there were the "Three Emperors", in the court, there were the "Three Lords", and the "Three Elders" in the prefectures, counties, and villages; religions that have a profound influence on the world are no exception. There are "Three Pure Ones" in Taoist mythology, and Confucianism proposed the "Three Pure Ones" or "Three Cardinal Guidelines", while Buddhism has "Three Worlds". In the "Tao Te Ching" there is also: "Tao gives birth to one, one gives birth to two, two gives birth to three, and three gives birth to all things." Even in traditional Chinese medicine theory, there is the so-called "three yin and three yang". The ancients believed that Taiyang, Yangming, and Shaoyang in the human body are the three yangs; Taiyin, Shaoyin, and Jueyin are the three yin. The locations of these important meridians are directly related to people's health.
Sima Qian wrote in "Historical Records·Lüshu": "The number begins with one, ends with ten, and ends with three." The "Three Jewels" of Buddhism: Buddha, Dharma, and Sangha. Confucius had three fears: fear of destiny, fear of adults, and fear of the words of sages. It means: “A gentleman should have three points of reverence: reverence for the will of God, reverence for the virtuous monarch, and reverence for the teachings of the saints.
Zeng Guofan has Zeng Guofan’s Three Precepts. The first is to abstain from saying too much, the second is to abstain from anger, and the third is to abstain from having an angry and seeking heart.
We also believe that within 33 minutes, you can tell a very exciting story and make the audience more focused in a limited time. We believe that the more restricted the stage, the better the performance. So I hope that at the 33rd International Film Festival, you can create works that shock Eastern culture.
