On the Classification of Classical Dance

The so-called body rhyme Han and Tang dynasties are mainly the courses and disciplines initiated by two teachers, Tang Mancheng and Sun Ying. First of all, there is no rhyme school. According to the Han and Tang Dynasties, body rhyme is the essence that teacher Tang learned from traditional Chinese opera. Teacher Tang's uncle is Ouyang Yuqian, a famous opera master with Mei Lanfang. Therefore, Mr. Tang directly borrowed some dynamic laws of traditional Chinese opera and dance, and the route has been arranged and processed into adult rhyme.

Dances in Han and Tang Dynasties are different. Han and Tang Dance is a major created by Sun Ying, not a course. China's classical dance is included in modern history, which means that it has been lost, but the opera has been preserved. The evolution of dance means that the history of opera comes from China's dance. If we want to find the original appearance of China dance when there is a fault in the dance, we must analyze it from the opera, which is different from the views of Teacher Sun and Teacher Tang. The teacher looked for dance from opera, and Teacher Sun looked for dance directly from history. For example, the dance movements in various ancient historical materials are edited and sorted out, and then they become Han and Tang dances. Teacher Sun and Teacher Tang have both differences and similarities in their views on China classical dance, that is, based on China's classical aesthetics, the so-called turning circle and opening and closing of Yin and Yang are all China limbs they found. Characteristics and essence of art: In short, Dunhuang dance is an action composed of the posture of Dunhuang grottoes murals, which mainly reflects the curves of three musical forms. At present, Dunhuang dance belongs to the category of classical dance, so it has not been independently formed or specialized, let alone divided into factions.

In other words, there is no such thing as rhyme school and Han-Tang school, and I have never heard that courses and majors can designate other schools, from which factions can be generated. You can only ask Kong Yiji and Tang Guifei which is the classical dance and which is the Han and Tang dance. Seriously, I tell you that both of them are classical dances, because Tang Guifei didn't show Teacher Sun's aesthetics, so I don't think they belong to Han and Tang dances. Don't worry about whether classical dance is like modern dance, because classical dance was originally created by modern people. It's not that classical dance is just a kind of dance with China's classical aesthetic, so it's called classical dance! ! !

Sorry, this is my major. I'm a little excited. I answered a little too much. I'm happy to answer this question. Better than asking what hip-hop jazz is. Much more educated.

This is a conceptual problem that art can't say. Both Han and Tang dances and Dunhuang dances are classical dances, because they both have the characteristics of China's classical aesthetics, but they aim at different directions. For example, Dunhuang dance can mainly show the aesthetic characteristics and prosperity of the Tang Dynasty in murals. The most important thing is the religious color of Dunhuang dance. In murals, there are often Buddhists, such as Tathagata. There are also some scenes of pipa offering sacrifices to Lotte in the representative works. The dance features of Dunhuang dance are mainly absorbed in the murals of Dunhuang grottoes. For example, there is a program called "King Kong" in the 9th Li Tao Cup, which is based on Dunhuang dance, but you can't see the characteristics of Dunhuang dance. So what kind of dance does it belong to? When you ask this question, don't go to classical dance unilaterally, let alone to art specifically. For example, the dance department of Nanjing University of the Arts has set up the Kunqu Dance Department to link dance with Kunqu Opera. I don't think this deliberate distinction between dance types will achieve much success. I mean, I think it's a kind of dance under the aesthetic characteristics of the same culture, the same movement and the same breathing method. Without those messy differences, it's classical. The basic skills of ballet used in dance are completely different in strength and movement characteristics. Ballet stresses strength in stretching, while classical dance stresses strength (for martial arts reference). Classical dancers are much more coordinated than ballet dancers in shifting the center of gravity of flowing movements, while ballet dancers have stronger straight lines and extended lines than classical dancers, and the training purposes of these two dances are also very different. Ballet is basically what they practice in class (for example, the combination of their class is a variation on the stage, and it is especially inseparable from their hands and feet). ) It's different from classical dance. Classical dance is a class in the classroom, just laying the foundation for dancing on the stage. You have never seen any classical dance with obvious hands on the stage. Dance only uses the action rules in class, so these are two obviously different dances. So as far as your question is concerned, what are the obvious differences between Han and Tang dances, Dunhuang dances and classical dances? You should understand this, right?

With all due respect, there are some mistakes in your understanding!

First, in fact, the status quo of dance in Han and Tang Dynasties. . . It is not completely separated from the classical dance, but it can be said that it is very complicated to separate it, because the Han and Tang dances currently belong to the Han and Tang majors of the classical dance department, that is to say, they are not completely independent, but they can also be said to be independent from the system, because they have their own independent teaching materials and the basic courses are not unified with the classical dance box, so they can be said to be independent. Specifically, it is not independent, but I think it is still a part of classical dance as long as it does not leave the classical dance department.

Secondly, the aesthetic characteristics of classical dance are not only "harmony" and "roundness", but also "meeting left for a long time before meeting left", which shows that there are similarities and differences between Han and Tang dynasties and classicism in this aesthetic view. Dance in Han and Tang dynasties pays more attention to the curve of body than classical dance, and there is no problem of expressing cultural atmosphere. That doesn't mean that Han and Tang dances can't perform characters, and classical dances can't dance culture, and there is no use for props. This is also a matter of arrangement. The performance of dances in Han and Tang dynasties is that the ancient court dances are mainly prostitutes, which can't be gorgeous.

Third, the beginning of classical dance creation has nothing to do with body rhyme. This is too long to say. You can go to Baidu to know and see. If not, go to the library to see the creative history of China classical dance. This book will introduce the creation and development of classical dance in detail.

Fourth, classical dance is by no means from ballet (key). Now, in addition to the basis of traditional Chinese opera, you can also find that there is another important element in classical dance, that is, martial arts, such as, you know, arms, legs and legs. These are elements of traditional Chinese opera and hot wheels Waterfall, which belong to martial arts. Therefore, it can be said that classical dance is a combination of opera and martial arts, but it only dances opera and martial arts artistically. Kung fu is more stretched and beautiful. Traditional Chinese opera mainly expresses the storytelling of characters, while martial arts also contains the characteristics of martial arts and aesthetics. Classical dance only absorbs the expressive force of the body, and the content of aesthetic ballet is only a course, but it is not a dance. There are no obvious traces of ballet on the stage. At present, some primary schools outside local art schools have expanded the basic training courses of military art ballet to practice classical dance. I don't quite agree, because you can see that these actors' different ballet feelings are very different from those of classical dance. Of course, I'm not saying that there is no problem in the basic training class of classical dance. In fact, the basic training of classical dance is not perfect until now, and the training method is not as scientific as ballet, but the most important thing is that it is different from ballet and has an aesthetic ballet class in China. People who practice will be very stiff, so they should relax their breath in rhyme class. The strength and breath of ballet are very integrated at the waist and the end, because it mainly reflects the beauty of the limbs. Do you think it is good to add these two together? )

Fifth, the problem of reality and fiction is too one-sided, and so is the problem of characters in the scene. I can only tell you that it's a matter of arrangement. I suggest you watch two dance dramas. You should understand that one is the dance Song of the Wind in Han and Tang Dynasties.

One is BLACKPINK, a classical dance. If you have a chance to see it, I can give it to you.

I don't know if this is a classical dance or a black and pink dance in Han and Tang Dynasties. I also think it has the characteristics of the scene form of Han and Tang dynasties, so it is not necessary to distinguish these two things too widely (personally) because they are both cultures bred by the same mother. Because of the times, there are similarities and differences, but Han and Tang dances do have their own aesthetic characteristics, so they are independent and professional. Its characteristics are embodied in the body rather than in the form.

You are right about one thing. Han and Tang dances have restored ancient dances. As I said, it was restored by Master Sun through his own understanding of the action characteristics of characters recorded in ancient books.

Don't say anything about me. Which school are you from? I am curious. Are you majoring in classical dance or dance?
