Analysis:

The knife dance I know is Korean dance.

Knife dance is a dance evolved from sword dance. There is also a fascinating legend about the origin of knife dance.

There is a strong man named Huang Changlang in Silla. When I was seven years old, I was able to perform with a long sword, and the momentum was like a rainbow. He came to Baekje City alone to dance the sword, and the audience was surrounded by three layers, and was deeply attracted by his swordsmanship. When Baekje King heard about it, he asked Huang Changlang to perform in the palace. Huang Changlang stabbed Baekje King with his sword and was finally killed. In order to remember Huang Changlang's righteous act, the people of Silla danced according to his previous dance, wearing masks and holding a knife folded in half. Knife dance comes from this.

Knife dance, like sword dance, is magnificent, brave and vigorous and runs through the whole dance process. Dance reflects the brave, bold, smart and optimistic national spirit of the Korean people. The dance is both rigid and soft, thrilling and relaxed, and compatible with urgency and slowness. It rushes forward like a gust of wind, stabbing from left to right, and its action is light and fierce. The sound of "click" and "click" and the romantic dance state give people a strong sense of calling, which reflects the superb skills of Korean dance.
