Xiede dance

This program is a companion piece of female tap song, which can also be called male tap song. At present, male dance is becoming more and more martial, and its style orientation is relatively simple. This program focuses on the gentleness and elegance of men in the country of etiquette. Change the stereotyped image and style of male dance.

Historically, it is said that Xie Lingyun, a poet in the Southern Dynasties, once invented a kind of clogs with movable teeth, which removed the front teeth when going up the mountain and the back teeth when going down the mountain, making it easy to walk on slopes and mud, bringing great convenience to tourism activities. According to legend, people at that time rushed to follow suit and called it "Xie". Li Baiyou said in a poem: "Xie An is still there, the clear water is rippling, the apes are crying, and the ruler (zhuó) is Xie Gongyi, climbing the green ladder." Sun Ying, the director, had this feeling, borrowed Xie's historical allusions and referred to the social dance style of the upper-class literati in the Han Dynasty, and created the program Xie. Dance deliberately shows the temperament of Wei and Jin literati and the unrestrained style of ancient literati. As soon as the curtain was opened, the deep and distant sound of zither strings floated in the distance, and I saw a few literati leisurely walking out of the side curtain in the mist, as if enjoying the beautiful scenery in the mountains. The dance "Xie" kicked off the whole dance with such a strong landscape painting style. The play is set in the Wei and Jin Dynasties, an important period of change in China's history, and focuses on depicting the dance images of ancient China literati. In the dance, the characteristics of the Wei and Jin Dynasties, such as the liberation of philosophy, the awakening of humanistic spirit, the abnormal activity of thoughts, and the change of cultural thoughts, were highlighted, which was the main spirit of Xie's creation, and he poured this spirit into the dance image, thus bringing the image of the "scholar" class of the Chinese nation, which could not be ignored throughout the ages, into the audience's field of vision clearly and accurately, not only showing the artistic image of China ancient literati, but also creating this image.

According to the characteristics of the times, national style, national cultural temperament and national aesthetic emotion, the choreographer regards dance as a form of cultural expression, and devotes the whole dance language to the traditional cultural system and aesthetic system of China, thus presenting some basic dances such as "leaning on Mount Tai", "white crane shining its wings" and "Changhong shining through the sun" in the dance, showing a momentum of "endless strength, endless charm" and "dripping water swaying". In the dynamic dance movements of "forward", "forward", "away" and "looming", the aesthetic ideals of "passionate, carefree" and "flying handsome" are revealed. Dance has rich dance forms and dynamic styles from beginning to end, which embodies the diverse styles, aesthetic characteristics and orientations of literati and scholars in Wei and Jin Dynasties. In order to make the dance image more vivid, Xie also inherited and developed this tradition. The director found inspiration from the "sleeve-folding" of China traditional opera, and borrowed more attractive "sleeve-folding" techniques. Especially in the rhythm of grasping and releasing sleeves, he absorbed a lot of nutrients from the opera, and increased the extension of the action range and the deformation of the action form from a unique perspective, and at the same time, cooperated with the rhythm of the clogs ringing under his feet, thus making the "sleeve-folding" of the opera lifelike and making it serve the dance. The actors show infatuation, chic and elegant dance, and even tend to be "charming and uninhibited" in the dance with wide robes and sleeves. But the essence hidden behind that kind of "degeneration" is not superficial decadence, negativity and pessimism, but the literati's rediscovery and reflection on life and destiny. This reflects a major feature of China's classical dance, that is, the appearance is soft and relaxed, while both qi and energy are transported in the body. This aesthetic feature runs through the dance, revealing the inner talent and appearance, and even becoming a character and style of ancient China literati. Since ancient times, they "would rather be poor and help themselves, but tired and unyielding, which is not only a glory, but also a shame to wear robes." They despise fame and fortune, even less care about external fame and knowledge, but take unyielding personality and a real life as the highest goal of life. In dance, that kind of free and easy, contempt for the world, not only shows the unyielding and firm persistence of honest and frank literati, but also reflects the backbone of the Chinese nation. Xie's dance music is the icing on the cake for the dance itself. In order to convey the style connotation of dance more accurately, Mr. Sun Ying, a choreographer with profound artistic attainments, not only composed music himself, but also wrote lyrics. Xie's musical technique is quite novel, and the lyrics are consistent with the artistic conception of the poem. It is not only beautiful and dynamic, but also pays great attention to the contrast and image description of the dance atmosphere by music.

In nine days, the wind rose in Jianghan, and the vast expanse of Yuesuo clouds and smoke.

The stylus is difficult to write. Chibi hates green tea and says it's a joke.

Leng Yue, Shitou Town, Qinhuai, crisscrosses the Wu Palace.

Remember Chai Sang's evocation and sacrificing Zhou Lang's sleeping place to avoid the east wind?

In the summer, Lupu's battle group was quite settled, and Jingxiang rushed to Xichuan.

An Zhi started his career, and the cold duck crowed five zhangs.

How many outstanding talents have not been dusted off for a long time?

Don't ask the history books, be wise and foolish, and talk about the world with wine.

(Chorus)

Dance on the clogs and spit out the symphonic strings of Qing merchants.

If you talk nonsense, Long Song Jun won't laugh and you are happy.

Ah ... ah ... ah ... ah ...

* * * and you're happy.

The audience felt the perfect artistic image from Xie's dance visual image and music auditory image. The lyrics take comments on the Three Kingdoms as the content, and in this sigh, the lofty ambition of the literati to be positive and inspiring is reflected. Xie's overall structure is compact, the lines are clear, and there are no redundant pens. Dance language, creativity and style are unique. In particular, the dance successfully demonstrated the elegant demeanor of the Wei and Jin literati in the ancient history of China, and condensed and displayed the spiritual outlook of the Chinese nation for thousands of years. This play deserves to be regarded as a bright pearl in the jungle of China classical dance.
