The ancient poem Ode to Dance

From the wind back to the sleeve, the sun turns to flowers.

Compassion promotes the column, but shadow removes the dangerous string.

Scholars in the Southern Dynasties often wrote plays about Maggie and songs and dances, and these works generally described women's colors, costumes, songs and dances in beautiful words, often superficial. Although Wang Chang, a poet in the Liang Dynasty, was rather vulgar, he also wrote Dance Fu, but as far as artistic expression is concerned, this little poem is unique and unconventional.

It is an innovation in the conception of this poem to abandon the description of the characters and pay attention to conveying the spirit and emotion of the characters from the dynamics. One or two sentences in the poem, with extremely concise pen and ink, convey the reality into the virtual, and set off the dancer's exquisite dancing skills. As the old saying goes, long sleeves dance well. The author only starts with the sleeves and writes the word "back" so that his arms can stretch freely and his body can fly freely. There is no wind in the Gaotang Flower Dance, it is a light and relaxed dance step, and it is a rapidly fluttering skirt, which makes the flat land naturally windy. "From the wind to the sleeves", readers seem to hear the sudden wind, see the graceful dance of long sleeves and the brilliance of renewing the leading edge. Tián field is a flower-shaped headdress made of jade and pearls. The turn of bud lies in the turn of cloud, and the turn of cloud lies in the turn of head and whole body. "When sunlight is reflected, it turns into flowers." The bright sunshine shines through the window of Yuhu Lake, reflecting the flowers swaying from side to side, high and low, as bright as pearls. Just a little imagination, just a feeling of being dazzled. There is not a word in the two sentences to describe how to raise your hand and cast your feet. Only from sleeves, cymbals and other places, the dancer's gas field has been fully demonstrated. In addition, the use of four verbs in ten words also creates a strong and fast rhythm, which really makes the picture "ballroom" angry.

If the first two sentences focus on expressing the spirit from the dynamic, then the last two sentences achieve emotion through the cooperation of dance and music. A column is a wooden code, and the string is supported on a stringed instrument, such as a guzheng. The string of the column is tight when it is near, so it is called rising column. Danger, originally a lofty appearance, is used here to describe the shortness of syllables, so the meaning of danger string is the same as that of urgency string. "Compassion depends on promoting the column, and the shadow goes to the dangerous string." The previous sentence means that the feelings of * * * are related to the emotions expressed by music. In modern terms, it means that dance vocabulary and music vocabulary are harmonious and unified. * * *' s dance is full of agitation in the music. Even her shadow on the ground seems to be infected, and she has an active life and is excited with her. "Yi" shows that women change their dance posture and adjust their movements with the emotional ups and downs and rhythm changes of music, which contains endless changes in thousands of dance States. "Go" is the graceful posture of the dancer, which the reader can touch. These two words are refined and refined, both of which are vivid from the virtual place. At this point, a graceful figure, superb dancing skills, rich feelings and understanding of melody vividly appeared in front of readers.

This poem, in terms of expression, shows a valuable creative spirit, without embellishment, faint powder and jewelry. Compared with those decadent voices, this poem is a beautiful and elegant song.
