Aesthetic interpretation of "turning the waist between clouds"

China classical dance is excavated, screened, integrated and created from China traditional opera dance, martial arts and ancient art resources. In China's classical dance, "Twist, Oblique, Circle, Qu, Shape, Spirit, Strength and Rhyme" are the general requirements and outstanding features, and these eight characters are all postures and dynamic rhythms evolved through waist movements.

Waist movement paves the way for various postures, rhythms and movements of China classical dance. "The cloud turns to the waist" is a typical comprehensive training movement with the waist as the core in China classical dance. Its unique beauty of Yin and Yang, graceful rhyme and lightness and softness all reflect China's aesthetic thought of having both form and spirit, transforming each other and bringing out the best in each other.

"Cloud Shoulder to Waist" is based on the basic elements of China classical dance body rhyme-"lifting, sinking, rushing, leaning, containing, inserting and moving", and takes the "three circles" route as the movement track, and its standardization mainly focuses on the dynamic law of "drawing circles on points". The specific method is: on the basis of sitting cross-legged in the same place and the lower limbs are not moving, the upper limbs make a plane circular motion with the waist as the axis, and with the circular motion of shoulders, shoulders, shoulders and shoulders, a 360-degree plane circular motion with the waist, chest and shoulders as a whole is formed.

When I first started learning "cloud shoulder waist", the first contact was breathing. "Sinking" in charm is the main content of training and the simplest and most direct method to artistic natural atmosphere. The up-and-down movement of the middle part of the body and the head driven by "lifting and sinking" is the first step to coordinate breathing with external movements. With the different rhythms and different body orientations, the human body can gradually understand and understand the relationship between breathing and body, master the method of combining breathing with external forms, give vitality to movements, and form all the charm of classical dance. "Cloud shoulders turn to waist" is full of vitality because of breathing, and breathing sublimates in "cloud shoulders turn to waist".

If there is no breathing rhythm in China classical dance, the movements, dances, rhythms and combinations will definitely make people look dull and tasteless. Therefore, in the process of "turning from shoulder to waist", we should pay attention to the rational use of breathing and find the breathing point in the movement or rhythm, so as to show the appeal and expressive force of China classical dance.

China classical dance not only strictly trains the head, upper and lower limbs and joints, but also solves the curvaceous beauty of body characteristics, such as twisting, slanting, circle and bending. The "flat circle" in "Cloud Shoulder Turning Waist" is a representative action form in classical dance. It is the horizontal circular movement of the upper limbs, which must take the waist as the axis and go through the process of "rushing, rushing, crossing, leaning and containing".

And "pushing, pushing, horizontal, oblique and containing" must be driven by lifting and sinking, which shows that to complete the trajectory of "flat circle" shape, we must firmly grasp the basic posture characteristics and dynamic elements of "lifting, pushing, horizontal, oblique, containing and sinking".

"Cloud Shoulder and Waist" is one of the basic rhythmic elements in China classical dance training. It is the main teaching material in the body rhyme class, and it is the hub for the whole body to spread sports information, which can dominate the whole body muscles to achieve a sense of coordination. It takes the waist as the axis, permeates and gathers various elements, and extends to the whole body movement. Its purpose is to stretch the body lines, so as to achieve the activities of transverse and longitudinal joints, opening and closing, flexion and extension, and limb extension and flexion. Therefore, its value lies not only in mastering the waist rhythm flexibly, but also in laying a solid foundation for the training of China classical dance.
