I. Physical Characteristics of Classical Chinese Dance Dance Posture

The physical characteristics of classical Chinese dance dance posture are available. "Round, curved, twisted and tilted" are four words, which are the basic elements of Chinese classical dance, and are also the essential postures in the dance posture modeling. Chinese dancers combine the hand, eye, body, method and step skillfully with the graceful and graceful dance posture modeling to create a dance performance art with national characteristics, which provides a rich dance vocabulary for the transmission of national feelings and the meaning of nationalities. But the dance posture of the thousands of variations, always from the "round, curved, twisted, tilted" physical characteristics, the following author on the years of study and understanding of the Chinese classical dance analysis of the statement.

(I) Round

"Round": The "round" posture is widely used in the classical Chinese dance. It is the movement of the body with the waist as the axis and the circle as the trajectory, forming the "three circles" rhythm, namely: flat circle, standing circle and eight circles. The figure of eight circle is the inevitable process in the connection of various transformations, and it is the articulation point of the transformation. Aesthetically it is an arc, in the movement mainly in the ankle joints to do hook, skimming, taut, calf to do in the knee joints, straight, tucked, small arm joints movement of the shaking hand, the upper arm in the joints of the arm, as well as the waist, chest and neck in the gyration and so on is the dance of the "round" embodiment.

For example, the "cloud hand" movement that often appears in the dance is centered on the dancer's waist, relying on the arm to swing a round "wind and fire wheel" in the shape of a figure of eight in front of and behind the arm, and alternately crushing rows according to the circle (figure of eight or serpentine). "Walking in a circle", with the waist as the axis and the arm as the auxiliary, to do the dance posture of the movement of the circle "turn over", etc., are the characteristics of the "circle" in the body, the materialization of the technique.

(2) Curve

"Curve": it is a curve, which is another characteristic of classical Chinese dance. It focuses on the curvilinear beauty of the form and the meandering of the movement process, which refers to the bending of the body and limbs into various different arcs, showing the soft lines and gentle curves of the dance posture, implying the meaning of innuendo. In the dance movement, it is important to avoid angles and not to go straight. It is about starting from the opposite side, for example, "want to go up first, want to go left first, want to go right first, want to rush first, want to lean first, want to go forward first", etc. For example, when doing the "Flag with the wind", one arm is raised and slightly curved while the palm of the hand is up to do the "Palm resting" movement, the other arm is slightly curved while the palm of the hand is up to do the "Palm resting" movement. "action, the other arm pulls away from the" mountain bladder "to form a two-way bend, do" mountain bladder "when the arms are curved lines can be.

(3) Twisting

"Twisting" is a pillar of the beauty of classical Chinese dance, which means that the lower body is fixed, and the upper body (including the waist, ribs, shoulders, neck and head) is twisted horizontally to the left or right. "Twisting" is most frequently used in the body rhythm of classical Chinese dance, and its role is very important and prominent. Many dance postures and techniques are composed of the dynamic rhythm of "twisting", and it is combined with other elements to produce new composite elements. In the physical characteristics of twisting, the waist is mostly used as the axis of "horizontal twisting". Different dance postures are all based on the "horizontal twist", incorporating the chest and shoulder tilting or containing changes. One of the main forms of "twisting" is "lying cloud", "which requires the dancer to step to the right, gradually squatting down to the left side of the twisting of the lower body, and finally, the right foot on the ground, the left leg twisted on top of the right leg, the right hand raised to the back, the whole person gives a complex sense of coiling. a sense of complex coiling."

(4) Tilt

"Tilt": mainly refers to the tilt of the body, the requirements are limited to the hip joints at the same time the upper torso to the front, back, left and right to do different degrees of flexion and extension, stretching and lying and other actions, such as: explore the sea, kicking the swallow, the eagle spreads its wings and so on. Of course, you can also add other elements of movement on the basis of tilting to form a variety of rich gestures, so that the dance is more diversified.

In summary, it is not difficult to see from these physical characteristics of classical dance posture that it is some changes in the upper body, which implies the temperament beauty of "robust and upright, subtle and flexible". Through the understanding of the characteristics of the classical dance posture, we know that the circle, curve, twist and tilt in the dance posture are related to each other, and there are laws such as big circle over small circle, curve in circle, circle in curve, and "ten twist and nine tilt", etc. We can better master the classical Chinese dance posture. It is possible to better grasp the characteristics of the dance posture of classical Chinese dance and use it freely, so that the dance posture can play a role in the dance as a finishing touch.

Second, the point and line of classical Chinese dance posture

(1) Meaning

The point and line is a frequently mentioned terminology, and its own meaning is also multi-faceted. Its point is the shape of the dance posture, and the line is the process of dance movement. From the external shape of the movement, "point" refers to the strong beat that suddenly stops or protrudes in the dance movement, and "line" refers to the route of the dance movement; from the point of view of the rhythm, "point" usually refers to the momentary closure of the dancer. From the point of view of chiaroscuro, "point" usually refers to the instantaneous closure of the dancers, including the strength of the dancers in the movement of the ups and downs of the dancers, as well as the role of the eyes and the conversion of the "line" refers to the sense of dynamism, musicality, and the sense of rhythm in the process of the movement.

(2) Rhythm

It is very important to use "point" and "line" to show the external movement trajectory of the dance movement and the strength and weakness of the rhythm processing. Classical Chinese dance in the rhythm, is not uniform, but in the "slow but constant, fast but not chaotic, static in the movement, static in the movement" free and change in the rhythm of the law. In addition, the strength of the movement is also differentiated, there are light, heavy, slow, sharp, strong, weak, fast, slow and other differences, which are expressed through the body movements. The perfect fusion of point and line, body and mind, external and internal rhythms makes the dance posture of Chinese classical dance have the unique characteristics of "conveying the spirit by form, both form and spirit, body and mind, internal and external unity".

Third, the use of classical Chinese dance posture in technology and technique

One of the essences of classical Chinese dance is the stance and posture, and the technique of classical Chinese dance posture is mainly characterized by the twisting and tilting of the body posture structure, which is quite different from the technique of ballet dance posture. The use of dance posture in spinning, turning and bouncing not only enriches the character, but also adds color to the dance.

(I) Rotation

The rotation of Chinese classical dance includes small and big rotation. Its technique is mostly based on twisting and tilting the body, and here we emphasize the difference with the rotation in the basic training of ballet, in which the rotation in the basic training of ballet requires a high level of straightness of movement, and requires a long, stretchy and extended sense. Spinning relies on the coordination of the whole body. The dance posture is transmitted from the body to the arms and strides, and then from the arms to the fingertips, which makes the dance posture look long, stretching and full of vitality. The rotation in the basic training of Chinese classical dance, in addition to the straight body rotation, in the body form is also expressed in the twisting and tilting body rotation.

Folk Dance has high requirements for comprehensiveness and mobility, which requires dancers to embody large spatial changes by rotating from the bottom to the top and to embody the comprehensiveness and mobility of folk dance in the process of rotating. Take the whip turn and flat turn in the basic training of Chinese classical dance as an example, the whip turn belongs to one kind of upright turn, which is borrowed from ballet, and it retains the basis of lower body rotation, together with the changes of upper body and arm posture, which makes the dance turn more complex and ethnic. For example, adding palm turn, palm turn and hand turn in the whip turn not only makes the body method better utilized in the dance turn, but also strengthens the difficulty. Although the flat turn also belongs to the upright turn, its mobility is relatively stronger, and the amplitude of spatial change is also larger. Whether it is a straight line or a circle, in the course of the movement, adding the upward tucking leg turn with the dance posture or the dance posture turn from top to bottom can make the original single movement more vitality.

(2) Turning over

Turning over is a unique technique in the basic training of classical Chinese dance, which skillfully combines the stance with the dance posture, using the arm as an auxiliary and the waist as an axis, so that the dancers can do all kinds of turning over and moving in a tilted state, and it is required to keep the back and down and turn and turn in the process of turning over. Due to the different character of different dancers, the artistic effect produced in the process of flipping is also different, some will show a continuous feeling, while some will convey a clean and sharp artistic effect. In addition to the rhythmic treatment and expressiveness, it is in the space movement, the image is also very distinct, such as the "sea turn over" requires dancers to do the space arc action can convey the continuous emotion, and "string turn over" can make the action show the waves of the The visual effect of the "string flip" can make the movement present a turbulent wave.

(C) Bouncing

The main feature of bouncing in Chinese classical dance is that it requires the combination of force and lightness in the process of bouncing, and it can ensure "inch strength" by concentrating the force quickly, and it emphasizes that "force is at the root and force is at the tip". "

In recent years, China's national dances have made more and more demands on jumping.

In the process of jumping, different dance postures are added to the big, medium and small jumps, which can better show the characteristics of "twisting, tilting, flipping, flashing, spreading, prancing and moving", which not only shows the rhythm of the dance postures, but also strengthens the difficulty on the basis of the original. At the same time of its continuous development, the body movement on the ground is developed into the air, and the training of changing direction can also be carried out in the air, so as to make the dance bouncing, undulating and contrasting. Because of the high demand for bouncing skills in classical dance, it is emphasized to have certain bouncing skills, and at the same time, it is also an important prerequisite for dancers to better express their dance skills, in addition to the combination with carpet technique skills also strengthen the difficulty of the dance bouncing at the same time for the repertoire to add a bright spot.

Fourth, the refinement and development of classical Chinese dance posture

When it comes to the development and refinement of the dance posture, the author believes that it should be "originated from life, higher than life". Dance posture for today's creation of classical Chinese dance is by no means out of thin air, but on the basis of inheritance for change. The transformation of the times, so that people's aesthetics have changed, here refers to the refinement is "change its shape, Yang its God", is concerned about the coherent flavor rather than the usual program referred to the fragmentation of the teaching.

V. Conclusion

Chinese classical dance has initially formed a set of training system of our own people, Chinese classical dance steps inherited the main features of folk dance, Chinese traditional martial arts and Chinese national essence of opera as an important basis for presenting aesthetic characteristics, and in the process of development, absorbed the essence of foreign ballet dance steps, which were gradually formed after a long period of evolutionary process. By fully understanding the characteristics of classical Chinese dance posture, dancers can better combine the physical characteristics of classical Chinese dance posture with the body method and rhythm, and cooperate with the hands, eyes, body, method, and steps, to produce a thousand dance postures, creating a dance performance art with national characteristics.
