People in the Shang dynasty highly praised witch culture, which was found in ancient books? Dancers beg for rain? It prayed for rain through music and dance ceremonies. Cao Zhi once wrote a poem:? When Tang Yin attacked the summer, the governors rejoiced and released Ming Jie, praying for the Southern King Mulberry to compensate the disaster with the aid of Yi Yin, which was a good sign. ? This is the origin of the described "Sanglin" dance. In the early Shang Dynasty, Tang Cheng suffered a severe drought. Tang Cheng held a sacrificial ceremony in Sanglin, and prayed to heaven sincerely with music and dance, which finally touched the gods and eased the drought. Since then, businessmen have called this kind of music and dance "Sanglin".
Later, merchants sacrificed mulberry forests to their ancestors, and people held mulberry forests every major festival, so unmarried men and women could find their favorite objects at this party. This has also become the reason why Zhou people vilified mulberry trees and were not suitable for performing at ancestor worship ceremonies. Zhou people think that mulberry dance involves obscenity and should not be performed in solemn occasions. However, Song people, descendants of Shang Dynasty, didn't care. After many generations, mulberry dance has always been a national dance.
According to different grades, the Western Zhou Dynasty stipulated the scale of music use. Imperial standard? Palace hanging? , the standard of princes? Xuanxuan? , Qing, doctor standard? Suspended? , taxi standard? Hanging? . As a vassal state, the Song State should be displayed on three sides and hung on three sides, but the Song State enjoyed the sacrifice of the Emperor of the Yin and Shang Dynasties, and its specifications may be higher than the prescribed standards. In fact, this uniqueness of the Song State was also acquiesced by the Zhou royal family to some extent.
There is a dance about mulberry trees, and there is also an interesting past, which tells that Duke Mourn of Jin revived the hegemony of the State of Jin and gave the forced sun to the State of Song. In order to express his gratitude, Song took the National Song and Dance Troupe to the State of Jin to dance, and presented Sanglin. At that time, the courtiers of Jin strongly opposed Jin Gong's appreciation of this kind of music and dance. They think that the dance of mulberry trees is for the emperor, and if Duke Jin accepts it, it is suspected of crossing the line. But Duke Jin didn't want to miss this golden opportunity, so he decided to watch the dance.
So it seems that Sanglin's dance is not vulgar and misleading, it is an art with a domineering attitude.
