Art knows no borders and is a being that does not require language or conditions. Art is the existence of time, no matter how many years have passed, real art will not change, there is no expiration or obsolescence. In the dance world, Chinese classical dance is as intoxicating as modern dance and street dance. But people who have danced modern dance in the last century seem to be more interesting.
Yu Rongling is such a person, because of ballet, she is called "the queen of oriental dance". Even in the last century when a hundred flowers were blooming, the existence of Yu Rongling was beyond anyone. Ballet is one of the modern dances from the West, the requirements for the performers are very high, the balance ability of the performers is very good, and it also requires a physical temperament, not a dance that can be learned simply, it is too important to pay attention to the importance of talent.
Therefore, Yu Rongling was able to achieve great success in ballet, which made many people at that time admire it. She was the daughter of an official eunuch at the end of the Qing Dynasty, and when she was born, his father Yu Geng had served as a minister in France, so her vision was broad, and for her newborn daughter, she was not forced to add many things like the rest of the boudoir ladies of the Qing Dynasty, and Yu Geng did his best to give his daughter the best life.
It is even more because of the pain of his daughter, Yu Geng concealed the fact that there was a woman born in the family, in order not to let her daughter grow up and enter the palace draft. Under the love of Yu Geng, Yu Rongling and her sister live the most comfortable life every day, no matter what they want, their father will find a way to give them. Therefore, Yu Rongling grew into a big girl. When you are young, you can swing your limbs to the tune and look like you are dancing.
Her music teacher told Yu Rongling that Yu Rongling's talent in dance should be very high, and Yu Geng had lived in France for a while, so he knew that his daughter's family should bloom with flowers, so he began to ask Yu Rongling to ask her teacher to teach her dance. However, at this time, Yu Rongling was still learning Chinese classical dance. Later, she followed Yugeng to Japan, and as an ambassador to Japan, Yugeng often traveled to and from Japan's ministers or Japanese maiko.
Yu Rongling, with his talent, only learned the charm of Japanese dance after learning from the maid at home for a while. Yu Geng loved his daughter and knew that her talent was very high, so he invited a better teacher for her, especially when he was in Paris, Yu Rongling followed the dance teacher Isadora. Duncan studied ballet, and as a result, Yu Rongling became the first person in China to learn ballet.
After returning to China, Cixi heard that Yu Rongling's dance was excellent, so she summoned her and her sister into the palace to serve as her personal female officials. Cixi especially likes Yu Rongling and likes her dance even more, and when she is in a good mood and in a bad mood, she will dance a dance. When entering the palace, Yu Rongling was not very old, the girl's feelings were always poetry, she fell in love with a little eunuch in the palace, and nearly four years of love was finally discovered, and finally Yu Rongling and her sister were sent out of the palace.
Later, when his father died of illness, Yu Rongling began his own life, and later through the introduction, he married a businessman, and then never appeared in front of people again, but he vaguely knew that Yu Rongling and her husband were still in love until her husband died. After entering the modern era, Yu Rongling was accused of being a feudal remnant because of the "Trivia of the Qing Palace" he wrote, and was rushed into her home by people with hearts, taking away all her property and breaking her leg.
Yu Rongling has no children, and in her old age, she lives alone in the stables, and a generation of beautiful people should have danced, but in the end she ended up with a trapped party, but it was a pity.
