This article about children's folk dance: appreciation of the basic style of Mongolian dance is specially arranged for everyone, hoping to help everyone!

Mongolian dance

Mongolian is a nomadic people in northern China, engaged in animal husbandry and hunting production. Because I have lived in the geographical environment and climate of grassland for a long time, I have worshipped the mountains, rivers and eagle totem since ancient times, thus forming the characteristics of vigorous, implicit, stretching and heroic Mongolian dance.

First, the style of Mongolian dance

The Mongolians are a people who ride horses. Riding on the vast grassland has made the Mongolians form a unique grassland culture style. Because of riding horses for a long time, Mongolian dance movements are mainly shoulders and arms. Such as hard shoulder, soft shoulder, round shoulder, shoulder swing, broken shoulder, hard hand, soft hand, wrist pressing, wrist bouncing and wrist turning, plus four main dynamic laws such as turning, turning, turning and tilting. These different body movements form the unique style and characteristics of Mongolian dance. According to the characteristics of these dance styles, we divide them into the following categories:

1. "Sawuerdeng" is the most important folk dance of Mongolian people in Xinjiang, which is widely circulated in Mongolian inhabited areas and deeply loved by the broad masses of the people. Almost every Mongolian in Xinjiang, regardless of gender and age, can dance Sawuerdeng. Sawuerdeng is not only the name of Mongolian folk dance music and song and dance music in Xinjiang, but also the general name of folk dance. Savorden often dances in festive festivals, weddings of men and women, family banquets and other entertainment activities.

2. Diane Dance, a traditional Mongolian folk song and dance. In ancient times, it was used to treat diseases such as "devil possessed" and infertility after marriage. It has the functions of exorcising ghosts, expelling epidemics, begging for rain and seeking a good year. In modern times, it is mainly used for festivals and entertainment. Most dances are held between late summer and autumn harvest. The dance leader is mainly Bo, holding a drum whip and a single drum and presiding over the ceremony. Its main features are singing and dancing. Dance has a passionate and vigorous style, and the dance movements are mainly composed of "stepping", "stamping", "throwing towels" and a circle team.

3. "Top Bowl Dance" is a traditional folk dance handed down by Mongolian people in Ordos since Yuan Dynasty. Novel form, graceful movements, elegant temperament, unique style and strong national characteristics. It plays an important role in the development of Mongolian folk dance. At wedding banquets and festive banquets, 1 or two Mongolian people who are good at singing and dancing dance in songs and music with cups or bowls of oil lamps or bowls filled with clear water or milk wine. There is no fixed number of movements in the top light and the top bowl dance. After mastering the basic movements and chopsticks playing rules, the dancers improvise on the spot, feel passionate and have colorful movements and dances, which fully shows the dancers' skills, wisdom and rich, flexible and changeable characteristics of folk dance.

Chopsticks dance is one of the representative forms of traditional folk dance. Chopsticks dance is a dance form performed by male artists alone in weddings and festive programs, accompanied by strings and vocals. Chopsticks dance requires holding chopsticks in your right hand, lifting the pressure with the power of the bowl, hitting your hands, legs and shoulders first, and then hitting the ground with your feet. With the rotation of the bowl, sometimes your shoulders are lifted, sometimes your legs jump flexibly, sometimes you lean forward to the left and face the lower left, and sometimes you lean forward to the right and face the lower right. All kinds of movements basically maintain a semi-squatting dance posture. Strong sense of rhythm around the circle, full of charm around the shoulders, the whole dancer's movements and shoulder movements are very prominent, with a cheerful, beautiful and vigorous style, showing the emotional characteristics of Mongolian enthusiasm, boldness and love of life. Chopsticks dance is loved by many countries and nations in Asia, Europe and America because of its unique artistic charm.

5. Taiping is inspiring. The "Taiping Drum" is a round or oval copper ring made of donkey skin. The drum skin is painted with mountains, water, flowers or figures, decorated with fluffy balls and spikes of flowers, and the small ring on the handle is tied with a small iron ring. Harvest Festival is mostly performed by women, which is divided into two forms: group dance and solo dance. When dancing, the left hand holds the drum handle horizontally, and the right hand holds the stick with spikes, beating and jumping. The action names include "worshipping drums", "running on horseback", "sawing", "beating cotton", "rolling Yuanxiao", "catching birds" and "rolling a ball". As the name implies, this varied drumming action is closely related to the daily life of working people. Body movements are generally exaggerated, and the basic dances are mostly back, leaning, leaning and sideways with the waist as the axis. The dance steps are open, powerful and flexible, mixed with skills such as jumping and turning. Some skilled people can jump four or five drums at the same time, winding and circling in different parts of the body, which is called acrobatics.

6. "Circle Dance", Mongolian folk dance. It consists of several movements, such as alternating feet and swaying steps, unrestrained jumping steps, bright and chic lower body or sideways running and jumping steps. The upper body movements include learning from each other, holding hands behind people's backs, and people holding hands and dancing in a circle, so people usually call it Breija's characteristic folk dance circle dance. Adagio is lyrical and soft, Allegro is cheerful and agile, and has strong jumping ability. Simple folk customs, with quaint colors and passionate feelings.

Second, Mongolian dance appreciation

Dance appreciation is a kind of spiritual activity, which requires the appreciator to integrate into the work. It requires the appreciator to devote himself to the whole process of dance appreciation besides thinking in images. Only in this way can he enter the aesthetic world of art.

When the audience is enjoying the dance. The first thing to pay attention to is the atmosphere of the dance, the dancer's figure and clothing. Then, with the development of dance works, I entered the works, linked the images and plots in the works with my own life experiences, and began to actively participate in them, to understand the development clues of characters' emotions and events, and then to exert my imagination and actively participate in the creative activities of creators and performers. At this time, the audience enters the stage of rational thinking and grasps the dance works substantially at a higher level. Only when the audience leaps from perceptual experience to rational thinking can they truly appreciate the beauty of dance works and understand the image beyond the image. This is the deep law of aesthetic psychological activities.

Perceptual experience and rational thinking are two aspects of dance appreciation activities, both of which are indispensable. Perceptual experience is attracted by works, and rational thinking is to transcend the limitations of works to grasp infinity. However, when appreciating dance, if we always keep a "rational" mind, we can't really appreciate the beauty of art. The audience must first devote themselves to the dance and then think about it, so as to truly grasp the dance works. In addition, when appreciating dance works, we should also pay attention to emotional input. Aesthetic emotion should flow with the dance.

Only with emotional input can we truly appreciate the charm of dance art. Dance appreciation is an emotional exchange activity between the appreciator and the creator, and the work embodies the creator's emotion. The creator conveys his emotions to the appreciator through his works, and gradually experiences the emotions of the creator in the process of appreciation, so as to realize emotional communication with the creator. When appreciating the art of dance, the audience's emotional activities are initially manifested as their recognition of the work, and then they are moved by the work.

When the emotions of the viewer are consistent with the emotions expressed in the works, they enter the emotional layer of people. For example, in the Mongolian Errenzhuan Pastoral, a pair of young Mongolian men and women, with full passion, modern dance vocabulary and rhythm, accompanied by a cordial pastoral song, integrated today's young herders' praise of grassland, love for life, hope for the future and yearning for beautiful love into their dance, giving people an emotional appeal of the times, which is exciting.

In addition, the movements of Mongolian dance are very beautiful and full of temperament, which mainly comes from qi and spirit, and is also the reproduction of a nation's psychological and physical quality in its own dance art.

The temperament beauty of Mongolian dance is mainly manifested in two aspects: female dance is beautiful, stretching, cheerful and lively, giving people a gentle and delicate beauty, dignified and delicate. Male dance is vigorous, vigorous, rough, bold and full of masculinity.

The aesthetic characteristics of Mongolian dance are to inherit the excellent Mongolian dance art, meet the needs of national aesthetic taste and carry forward the excellent national civilization, grasp the center of Mongolian dance to innovate, and explore at the same time of inheritance, so that Mongolian dance can move towards the correct development track.
