In July 2023, a revelation about Yang Liping's offline performance caused an uproar on the Internet. The peacock dance, which originally symbolized holiness and beauty, showed a different exaggerated stage style in this performance, which caused widespread controversy.
According to netizens, the male actor was dressed revealingly in the performance, and more than a dozen actresses even stroked the actor's body together, and even had a hand clasping his lower body. Such a scene shocked many viewers.
Regarding this move, Yang Liping said that it was to make the peacock dance more real. But this explanation did not quell the controversy, but instead sparked more discussion.
Art is a field full of subjectivity, and everyone's understanding and evaluation criteria for art may be different. Yang Liping's point of view is that her creation is the pursuit of the true form of peacock dance, and it is an exploration and expression of art. However, the audience has different opinions on this, and some people think that this kind of performance is contrary to traditional aesthetics, and may even have a bad direction.
In this controversy, we must deeply consider the subjectivity of artistic criticism. Each person has different cultural backgrounds, values, and aesthetic values, which leads to significant differences in the evaluation of the same work of art.
The existence of such differences does not mean that we can judge art purely on the basis of personal preferences. It is true that art is subjective, but its creation and expression must also be carried out within the framework of specific social ethics and cultural norms.
The subjectivity of art judgment comes from the individual's diverse background and unique cognition. A person's cultural background can profoundly affect their understanding and perception of art. Different cultural traditions, social environments, and educational experiences will shape different aesthetic standards and value orientations. Differences in values also play an important role in the evaluation of art. Some people focus on innovation and breakthroughs, while others are more inclined to tradition and classics, some strive for the perfection of form, while others are more concerned with the expression of emotions.
The subjectivity of art should not be an excuse for arbitrary judgment. While a work of art conveys the author's thoughts and emotions, it also has an impact on the viewer. Therefore, it must follow certain social moral norms. Works of art that are contrary to social morality may cause adverse effects and harm the public interest of society.
Art is also bound by cultural norms. Different cultures have their own unique aesthetic standards and creative traditions, and works of art should be created and expressed within these norms in order to maintain the inheritance and development of culture.
In order to ensure the impartiality and objectivity of art criticism, we need to establish an open and inclusive artistic atmosphere. This means respecting different perspectives and opinions, and encouraging a plurality of aesthetic perspectives. At the same time, it is also necessary to cultivate the artistic literacy of the audience and improve their aesthetic ability and judgment.
With such efforts, we can better understand and appreciate the diversity of art and promote the development and progress of art. The subjectivity of artistic judgment should not become the source of chaos and disorder, but should be a positive force for promoting artistic innovation and development under the guidance of social ethics and cultural norms.
The controversy caused by the performance of Yang Liping Dance Troupe has really prompted us to reflect: in the process of pursuing artistic innovation, how to maintain the authenticity of art while conforming to the moral and aesthetic standards of society? This is undoubtedly a topic that requires artists to think deeply.
Artistic innovation is the core driving force for the development of art, which promotes the progress and change of art. Artists often show their unique creativity and imagination by breaking with tradition and challenging established ideas. However, in this process, artists need to carefully weigh the relationship between innovation and ethical and aesthetic standards.
It is essential to maintain the authenticity of the art. Art should be based on real emotions, experiences, and observations in order to convey profound connotations and values. But authenticity does not mean that society's moral and aesthetic standards can be ignored. To a certain extent, the moral standards of society define the scope of people's approval of behaviors and ideas. If a work of art seriously violates these standards, it may trigger public skepticism and criticism.
Aesthetic standards are equally important. It reflects the general perception and expectation of beauty in society, and affects people's acceptance of works of art. Artists should take into account the aesthetic needs of the public when innovating so that the work can resonate with the audience.
In order to find a balance in artistic innovation, artists need to have a deep understanding of society's moral and aesthetic values. They should pay attention to the changes and developments of society, and be sensitive to the public's expectations and needs for art.
Artists also need to maintain the ability to self-reflect. Constantly examine your own creative motives and expressions, and think about the impact of your works on society and the audience.
Art critics and academia also have an important role to play. Through the analysis and evaluation of works of art, they can guide artists to better grasp the moral and aesthetic scale in innovation.
Artistic innovation is necessary, but it must be carried out within the framework of society's moral and aesthetic standards. With a high sense of responsibility and sensitivity, artists should explore innovative ways to maintain the authenticity of art while meeting the expectations of society.
In this way, art can truly play its role in inspiring people's thinking and enriching people's spiritual world, without causing unnecessary controversy and misunderstanding. This is a challenging task, but it is also the responsibility and mission of the artists.
For the audience, it is also necessary to look at the artwork with a more open and inclusive mind. The diversity and innovation of art is an important force to promote the development of art, and we should respect the creative attempts of artists, and at the same time, promote the progress and development of art through rational discussion and criticism.
The controversy caused by Yang Liping Dance Troupe's performance is not limited to a simple discussion of dance performance, but also extends to deep-seated issues such as the subjectivity of artistic judgment and the relationship between artistic innovation and social norms. This phenomenon also reminds us that in the world of art, we must maintain a sensitive sense, uphold a rational attitude and embrace an inclusive mind, so as to better promote the development and progress of art.
The emergence of this controversy has made us deeply aware of the complexity and diversity of the art world. The subjectivity of artistic judgment is like an insurmountable mountain that lies in front of us. Everyone's understanding and perception of art is unique, so the evaluation of the same work may be very different.
Subjectivity is not the whole story of artistic judgment. Artistic innovation, as the soul of artistic development, often collides and conflicts with existing social norms. Innovation means breaking the mold and challenging conventional ideas, but that doesn't mean social norms can be trampled on.
In this process, we need to maintain a sensitive sense of touch. Sensitivity to the message and emotion conveyed by a work of art, without neglecting a single detail. At the same time, rational thinking is also indispensable. Rationality allows us to analyze and evaluate works of art objectively and avoid the interference of subjective bias.
Tolerance is an indispensable quality in the art world. We should be tolerant of different art forms and expressions, and respect the innovative attempts of artists. Even if we have doubts or do not understand certain works, we should give them room to exist.
In order to better promote the development and progress of art, we also need to establish an open and diverse artistic atmosphere. Artists are encouraged to be creative, while also providing them with the necessary support and guidance.
Arts education also plays a vital role. Through art education, people's artistic literacy and aesthetic ability are cultivated, so that they can better understand and appreciate works of art.
The role of art critics and scholars should not be overlooked. They can provide theoretical support and guidance for artistic innovation through in-depth research and analysis.
In the world of art, we need to perceive the subtle changes of art with a sensitive sense of touch, evaluate the value of art with rational thinking, and accept different artistic expressions with an inclusive mind. Only in this way can we promote the continuous development and progress of art and make it better serve the spiritual needs of mankind.
Let us work together to create an open, inclusive and rational artistic environment, so that the flower of art can bloom more brilliantly.
