In Chinese history, there are not many records of dance that have been handed down, but there are also some, such as Bai Juyi's "Pipa Line" in which "gently twist and slowly wipe the double pick, initially for the six after the neon dress". Among them, "Neon Dress" and "Six Senses" are two dances that are famous throughout the ages.
Most of the dances that can be known to everyone are court dances, mainly female dancers, but in the oldest written records, there are actually many magnificent dances dominated by male dancers.
The poem records a dance scene in which the heroic posture of the male dancer even attracts the admiration of the poet who watches the dance.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > Poetry Sutra Shao Feng Jian Xi</h1>
Jane is simple, and the party will dance. In the middle of the day, in the front and upper places.
Shuo Ren Matamata, The Court Of Ten Thousand Dances. Powerful as a tiger, persistent as a group.
The left hand is holding the gong, and the right hand is Bingzhai. Heru Wo Ochre, Gongyan Xi Lord.
Mountains have hazelnuts, and mountains have ridges. Who thinks about the cloud? Western beauty. The beauty of the west, the people of the West.
"Jian Xi" is the onomatopoeia of the drum sound, and "Ten Thousand Dances" is the name of this dance.
The drums beat, the sun is in front of you at noon, and "Ten Thousand Dances" is about to open, with the leading dancer standing in front of the queue.
The dancer is strong and brave, performing "Ten Thousand Dances" above the court, his movements are as powerful as a tiger, holding the reins as if organizing a queue.
Holding the gong pipe in his left hand and the feather plume in his right hand, he jumped with a flushed face, and the prince gave wine one after another.
At this point in the poem, the dancer has completed his dance, and the last chapter is not very consistent with the previous text, many scholars believe that it is wrong, but some scholars believe that the wrong Jane has been wrong from ancient times, and it is not necessary to misunderstand the real situation.
In the Book of Poetry, there are seven pairs of "mountains have..." and "There are ..." in other poems, so we can know very clearly that this is a metaphor for men with trees, a metaphor for women with grass, and a love between men and women.
There are hazel trees above the mountains, and there are ears between the fields, who is it that I miss in my heart? Is a dancer of the Western Zhou Dynasty. That handsome man came from the Western Zhou Dynasty.
"Ten Thousand Dances" is a kind of dance that existed in the Spring and Autumn Period, and dancers need to first hold weapons, do martial dances, and then take musical instruments and bird feathers, and do literary dances, which requires high requirements for the ability of dancers in all aspects.
And the poem points out the place, above the court, then this court should at least be the celebration hall of the princes, according to the regulations, at least six, that is to say, he needs to lead at least thirty-six people to complete the whole dance, which is very difficult.
Writing "Gongyan Xijue" in the poem shows that his dance was completed very successfully, and even appreciated by the princes, it is not unusual for such a powerful man to be favored by a woman.
Dance and music are almost the most difficult art forms to circulate, "The Book of Poetry" itself is actually a lyrics collection book, originally should be equipped with a musical book, but lost, so now we can only read it as poetry, and dance is even more difficult, even if the preservation of part of the music score of the "Neon Dress Feather Dance" presentation, are modern people based on ancient books to recreate, not to mention the court dance of two thousand years ago.
This is a pity, but it is also a breakthrough, the integration and development of ancient culture first needs to be based on the existing materials, take its essence to lay the foundation, and then integrate the characteristics of modern times to recreate ancient culture, just like the CCTV fire's "Classic Yong Circulation", with the classic to lay the cornerstone, and then embellished with popular culture, the art form presented, both connotation and circulation, the spread and development of ancient culture, can be described as a great benefit.
Looking forward to the inheritance of the culture of the "Book of Poetry" can let us see the reproduction of "Ten Thousand Dances", a dance for a thousand years, worthy of the name~
