The connection between classical dance and ancient poetry

Poetry and dance belong to different art categories. Although they are qualitatively different, they are internally related and have some common laws. That is, poetry expresses inner feelings in words and spoken language, and dance is a deeper continuation of poetry's expression of feelings, but in different ways. China's classical poetry and dance "Moonlit Night on a Spring River" can illustrate this relationship. This kind of poetry and dance works produced in different times, with their different artistic expressions, the same lyrical characteristics and mutual accommodation, explain to people the extremely close relationship between poetry and dance.

First, the poem "Moonlit Night on a Spring River"

Zhang, a poet in the early Tang Dynasty, was in an era of unprecedented prosperity in politics, economy and culture in China feudal society. The employment system in the Tang dynasty adopted the imperial examination to take officials. Therefore, a large number of middle and lower class people realize their life ideals through the imperial examination, which is politically burdensome. Based on this historical environment, Zhang Chuang wrote a poem "Moonlight on the Spring River", which combines poetic sentiment with the understanding of the mysteries of the universe and the philosophy of life to create a delicate and thorough poetic mood. Who first saw the moon by the river? When did Jiang Yue take the photo at the beginning of the year? Life is endless from generation to generation, and Jiang Yue is only similar year after year. I want to know who Jiang Yue treats. But see the Yangtze River to send water "and other sentences have become eternal songs. This poem "A Moonlit Night on a Spring River", which "completely ruined the whole Tang Dynasty with a solitary poem", just reflects the atmosphere of literati in the early Tang Dynasty.

(A) The origin of the title of "Moonlit Night on a Spring River"

Moonlit Night on the Spring River is an old title in Yuefu's Shengge of Shangqingwuqu, which was used to write charming palace poems in Chen and Sui Dynasties. These palace poems are narrow in structure and too pink. Zhang's "Moonlit Night on the Spring River" broke the barrier of palace poetry, turned palace poetry into long sentences, and creatively reproduced the scenery of Jiangnan spring night with a beautiful pen full of life breath.
