Later, a naked double-sided jade statue was unearthed in Fu Hao's tomb in Yinxu, Anyang, Henan. The jade figure is round, with clear carving texture and natural expression.
The totem image of the businessman is actually a big bird, and the businessman thinks that the sun is a bird.
Another jade phoenix was unearthed from Fu Hao's tomb in Yinxu, Anyang, Henan. Although the lines of carving feathers are very simple, the overall shape of Yufeng is simple and vivid, such as bending a bow to shoot the moon and waiting for an opportunity to fly.
This image allows people to capture a little dance dynamics at that time and realize the solemnity and elegance of the so-called "Feng Lai Yi".
Among the numerous music and dances in the Xia Dynasty, some were clearly recorded by people.
"Female music and dance" appeared in the legendary Xia Qi era. Xia Qi likes female music and dancing very much. He once held a grand music and dance performance in the field of big wood, and he ordered musicians to play "Nine Songs". At the meeting, there were "thousands of dances, and the heavens heard the chapters", which showed that women's music and dance had reached a certain scale at that time.
Xia Ban, also known as Daxia, mainly praises Yu's meritorious deeds in water control, and belongs to a dance that remembers merits. The Zhou dynasty still retains it, wearing a fur hat, bare upper body and plain white skirt when performing.
In the Xia Dynasty, which entered the slave society, dance has changed from a mass self-entertainment activity to a performing art. According to historical records, the transformation of China ancient music and dance from merit to appreciation began in Xia Qi. In other words, Xia Qi has made the enjoyment of music and dance his way of life.
Chronicle of Bamboo Slips records that Xia Qi hunted for ten years and once danced Jiu Shao in Tianmu Mountain. The Classic of Mountains and Seas Overseas Western Classics also depicts the scene when Xia Qi watched the dance: "Riding a rain dragon, the clouds cover three floors, with paddles in his left hand and rings in his right hand, wearing a jade ring."
In addition, "Wan Dance" mentioned: "Wings and chapters smell in the sky, and the sky uses Buddha style." Here, we not only talk about taking less dancing as fun, but also create Wan Dance, which is passionate, whirling and shocking. It is conceivable that the skills of the music and dance slaves had reached a quite high level at that time. Mozi Le Fei is a famous article written by Mo Zhai, a famous scholar in the Spring and Autumn Period, which opposes the extravagance and debauchery. Among them, Xia Qi was taken as an example, and the original record is as follows:
Qi is a kind of lewdness, a kind of recreation, and wild in diet. Will be remembered, will be full of strength, will be turbid in wine, will enjoy in the wild. The sky will hear, and the sky will be leisurely. So the ghosts above will quit, and the people below will benefit.
Mozi viewed Xia Qi's music and dance from the pros and cons of the development of human society. He thinks that Xia Qi's enjoyment is not good for the sky and people. Later, Xia Jie built a "sloping palace" for his beloved woman Sister Xi, and stayed with her day and night, enjoying wine and food while watching thousands of beautiful women dance to the music. What a spectacular scene! According to the later editor-in-chief Qin Chunqiu Midsummer Ji Gu Le, it is recorded that:
Li Yu, who is diligent in the world, worked tirelessly day and night, dredging rivers, cutting Longmen, reducing seepage and guiding rivers, dredging three rivers and five lakes, paying attention to the East China Sea and benefiting Qianshou, so he ordered Hao Tao to write 90% Xia Wei to show his merits.
Later generations have been sharply critical of "female music", especially the female music and dance in Xia Qi and Xia Jie. People think that:
Yesterday, princesa happily embroidered clothes for the palace. Therefore, Yi Yin passed away, traveled extensively, and female music eventually abolished other countries.
There is also the fantastic drama of Xia Dynasty, which shows that Xia Jie is not only an emperor who likes a huge performance lineup, but also a person with special hobbies. According to the ancient book Road History:
In the past, there were 30,000 female musicians who were noisy at the end gate in the morning and were happy to listen to Sanqu.
As can be seen from this record, the lineup of female music in Xia Jie is quite large, especially considering the underdeveloped productivity at that time. The music produced by these 30,000 female musicians has been able to spread all over the streets inside and outside the palace, which shows that female musicians have developed to a considerable extent when they were in Xia Jie.
What kind of dance performance is the seven-tailed drama here? There is no specific material at present, but the word "seven-tailed" has revealed some information. It is recorded in the ancient book Biography of Women that Xia Jie abandoned etiquette and sought to promote outstanding dwarfs. This is a wonderful play.
Later, the Le Shu compiled by Chen Yun, a scholar in the Song Dynasty, also said:
Jay not only abandons etiquette, but also seeks beauty from all directions to accumulate in the harem. Those who show off dwarfs for wonderful plays take them away from the room to create romantic happiness.
Judging from these documents, this "Qiwei" drama is related to those dwarfs with special figures. Later acrobatic historians thought that the dance of Xia Dynasty may also contain some elements of early acrobatics.
Because there were many entertainment elements in the music and dance of Xia Dynasty, Xia Jie and the leaders around him used grotesque actors and strange movements to seek excitement, even including some banter elements.
