Is Red women soldiers a ballet?

Accurately speaking, "Red women soldiers" is not the national ballet of China, but the national ballet of China. No matter from the angle of materials, musical style and dance beauty, or from the use of costumes, props and scenery, it embodies the artistic achievements of China National Ballet.

Ballet originated in Renaissance Italy. It belongs to the dance of princes and nobles, and its theme was originally limited to the love story between the princess and the prince. With the decline of feudalism and the development of capitalism, the theme of ballet is constantly changing. But a ballet with revolutionary war as its theme like Red women soldiers is the first time and a milestone in China's ballet history. Its value and connotation have transcended the limitations of the times and ideology, and can be said to be a part of human cultural heritage.

Red female soldiers have a strong flavor of life. In particular, the scenes showing the military and civilian fish and water, the dance movements of female soldiers during drills, and the movements and backgrounds of various martial arts scenes all come from real life. The dance steps practiced by female soldiers organically combine traditional ballet with various movements in military training, which has both the softness of ballet and the rigidity of soldiers.

The stage background design and layout of Red women soldiers are excellent, including scenes of coconut trees and beaches, as well as rural scenes, combining local customs. With the change of the scene, people can easily blend in and feel the changing plot more appropriately.

Another highlight of Red women soldiers is that it puts the military uniform with the characteristics of the Chinese Workers and Peasants Red Army on the stage, which makes people feel unique. It fully embodies the identity of the characters and emphasizes the consistency between the costumes of the characters and the plot. As a ballet, Red women soldiers has made unprecedented achievements in performing costumes.

The music of The Red Female Soldier is also very distinctive. As the "main theme", "Liege for Female Soldiers" has been used more than once in the scene of female soldier company, and other music is also very rhythmic. Simple music gives people a feeling of simplicity, such as the very nice Wanquan River at the bottom, which has created a full and vivid image through music and is very successful.

In addition, the combination of western ballet and oriental traditional dance is also one of the highlights of Red women soldiers. On the basis of toe dance in western ballet, a large number of words and techniques of China folk dance and classical dance are combined. Not only toe dance is expensive, but also national dance is simple, and there is a shadow of military training.
