Introduce the types of dance costumes.

Generally speaking, China's stage costumes can be divided into four categories: drama costumes, opera costumes, dance costumes and opera costumes. There are great differences in costume forms, expression techniques and creative ideas of different operas. The form of drama is closer to the prototype of life itself, and at the same time it is a means of expression with dialogues and stories as the main content, which is generally closer to people's living conditions. Therefore, drama costumes are usually designed mainly by realistic methods. Although drama also presents freehand fashion design, on the whole, realism is its most important morphological feature. Traditional Chinese opera costumes are between drama and dance costumes, emphasizing integrity and sense of modeling. However, compared with drama, opera has more room for freehand brushwork and exaggeration, such as King Oedipus written by Judy Teemo. China's operas are generally more like musicals, so there is a lot of room for costume design and more styles.

Dance costume is a relatively freehand and exaggerated category, which is determined by the artistic form of dance itself. Dance is shorter than narrative and longer than lyric, so dance costumes should bear stronger explanatory and symbolic features, thus showing more exaggerated and freehand brushwork features. There are also realistic costumes in dance costumes and opera costumes, but this realism is not to reproduce the real image of life at all, but to take its shape to show its interest. The development of China's singing and dancing costumes and China's opera costumes are in harmony, and there are many similarities in design concept and aesthetic level. Their unique aesthetic form is completed through the continuous accumulation, inheritance and innovation of countless people for thousands of years. Therefore, it is of great practical significance to study the relationship between dance and traditional Chinese opera costumes.

"Dance", as its name implies, consists of "hand dance" and "foot dance". Dance is a refined, organized and beautified art of human movements. It takes dance action as the main artistic expression means, and language or other artistic expression means as the main means, which is difficult to express. People's inner spiritual world-delicate emotions, profound thoughts, distinctive personality, and contradictions and conflicts between man and nature, man and society, and man and himself, creates vivid and perceptible dance images to express the aesthetic feelings and ideals of dance choreographers and dancers.

Drama is called "drama" because it takes "drama" and "music" as the main factors. China's operas mainly include Southern Opera in Song and Yuan Dynasties, Zaju in Yuan and Ming Dynasties, legends and legends in Ming and Qing Dynasties, and traditional repertoires of modern Peking Opera and other local operas. Is the floorboard of China national drama culture. It integrates literature, music, dance, fine arts, martial arts, acrobatics and performing arts. The "big" and "left" in traditional Chinese opera "reading, singing, writing and playing" are also full of dance elements, but different from the "language" of dance movements, they are more functions of expressing skills and explaining plots.
