明天就是除夕了，2021年央视春晚将于明晚八点如期与大家相约。

作为世界上收视率最高的电视节目之一，央视春晚不仅是娱乐潮流的引领者，还是中国经济增长的一面镜子。

它在过去三十多年的时光里，为大家创造了许多难忘的瞬间，成为国人心中不可替代的节日符号。

The Spring Festival Gala, or "Chunwan" in Chinese, airs on the eve of the Chinese Lunar New Year when millions of Chinese families get together. This year's gala will fall on February 11 and will go ahead despite the ongoing pandemic.

As an integral part of the Chinese New Year celebrations, the annual show hosted by China Central Television (CCTV) is the most-watched television show in the world. The extravaganza often features songs, performances, and comedy sketches.

For more than three decades, the gala has not only been an entertainment trendsetter, but also a mirror of China's economic growth.

#2010# “小虎队”再聚首

2010年，来自中国台湾的流行组合小虎队在央视春晚再次聚首，成为当年晚会的亮点之一。在春晚的舞台上，他们重新演绎了《爱》、《蝴蝶飞呀》、《青苹果乐园》等经典歌曲，让不少观众感动落泪。

作为90年代炙手可热的团体之一，小虎队是许多70、80后珍贵的青春记忆。他们自1988年在台湾成立后，迅速风靡亚洲，并于1995年解散。2010年春晚舞台是他们阔别数年后首次集体亮相，意义非凡。

The pop band "Xiao Hu Dui," or "The Litter Tigers," reunited for the 2010 edition of the CCTV Spring Festival Gala, making it one of the show's highlights that year. The band consists of Alec Su, Nicky Wu and Julian Chen, who all hail from the Chinese island of Taiwan. Their success in the '90s was instrumental in the widespread recognition and popularity of idol boy bands from the region.

The trio performed a reprise of their classic hits "Love," "The Butterfly Flies" and "The Paradise of Green Apple" on stage.

"The Little Tigers" was created in 1988 in Taiwan and quickly gained popularity on the Chinese mainland. The band broke up in 1995 with its three members each pursuing his own projects. Their gala appearance on the Chinese New Year Eve in 2010 was their first onstage reunion, followed by another team-up in 2020 on The Treasured Voice, a Chinese singing competition.

#2012# 舞美创新

2012年龙年春晚打破以往的传统形式，在舞台设计上进行了大胆创新，不少新的技术特效首次应用。数百块巨型LED屏被整合到布景设计中，营造出极富变化的三维舞美效果，为观众呈现出前所未有的视听体验。

音乐家李云迪和歌手王力宏共同演绎了钢琴二重奏《金蛇狂舞》，给观众留下了难忘回忆。

最终，这场晚会凭借将近5亿的收看人数，打破了吉尼斯世界纪录，成为“全球收看人数最多的晚会”。

The year of 2012 was the Year of the Dragon. It marked the 30th anniversary of the Spring Festival Gala, which first aired in 1983 – and the occasion was celebrated in style with a bit of technological boost.

Hundreds of large LED panels were incorporated into the set design, including on the floor, to create a three-dimensional effect for an immersive audience experience.

Close to half a billion people tuned in for the televised spectacle with the Guinness World Records counting 498.7 million unique viewers and crowning the 2012 version of the Spring Festival Gala as the "most-watched national network TV broadcast" in the world.

Musician Li Yundi and singer-songwriter Wang Leehom (Wang Lihong) joined forces for a creative piano piece "Dance of the Golden Snake," creating a memorable moment.

#2018# 人工智能震撼亮相

2018年央视春晚融入了许多人工智能元素，最令人印象深刻的，当属一段集中展示中国海陆空AI力量的40秒“AI秀”。

这段在广东珠海分会场的表演让电视机前的观众眼前一亮：无人机编队在港珠澳大桥上空变换着造型，无人车队在桥上进行“8”字交叉跑动，随后亮相的81艘无人船在桥下穿行。

无人驾驶技术代表中国的高科技实力，而港珠澳大桥则彰显了中国的基建能力和技术水平，两者组合在一起，集中体现了中国自主创新能力的强大和综合国力的提升。

The 2018 CCTV Spring Festival Gala illustrated the development of homegrown AI technology with a 40-second performance that made history on live television.

Drones flew over the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge (HZMB), forming the heart symbol and arranging themselves in the shape of a dolphin in the sky. Meanwhile in the water, 81 unmanned boats swept under the bridge.

The unmanned vehicles represent China's high-tech strengths while the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge exemplifies China's ability to build world-class projects.
