Miscellaneous dances are also included, such as, Bayu, Pan Dance, Fu Dance, Duo Dance, Fu Dance and Bai Chop Dance.
Miscellaneous dances and scattered dances in different parts of the Han Dynasty are the general names of all kinds of music and dances, especially those folk dances performed in the court, as opposed to the elegant music in the court. There are many kinds, many of which are famous in history.
Baixi is the sum of all kinds of acrobatic music and dance programs in Han Dynasty. For example, the fire lifts the tripod, the sandalwood is found alone, the throat is swallowed, and the chest is swollen.
There are two interpretations of the spread of drama and dance, which is widely known in Han Dynasty. The word "Manyan" in the ancient book "The Beast Seeking Manyan" describes the length and size of the behemoth. And "the fish and dragons are full of eyes" is the change of fish and dragons. Both of these "romances" belong to "romances". This kind of dance may be a relic of the ancient totem dance, and it still retains some mysterious atmosphere during the performance.
Later, in a Han Dynasty stone relief in Yinan, Shandong Province, there was a scene where people and behemoths appeared at the same time, and its image was full of grotesque, funny and thrilling meanings. This is called "eyeful play", and its performance is also very wonderful in the music and dance of Han Dynasty. In ancient books, it is described that the behemoth is looking for Manyan. Immortal Cui Wei longs to see you from behind. Xiong Hu got up and grabbed it, and he caught up and helped. Monster Lvliang, big sparrow wandering.
The white elephant is pregnant and its nose hangs down. The scale of the sea has become a dragon, which has a winding shape. With profits, turn it into a fairy car. Li drives four deer, and Zhi Gai is nine yuan. Toads and turtles, water people make snakes. Fantasy is sudden and easy to see fractal.
The dance of Manyan Opera in Han Dynasty is very hierarchical, but there is no logical relationship between the performances. First, a bear and a tiger met on a towering mountain. They started fighting as soon as they met. Then a group of apes jumped and chased, crawled and crawled, and soon a monster appeared, scaring the big bird into hiding. What followed was a peaceful scene. The big white elephant walked slowly with the little white elephant. The big white elephant shook its big nose and the little white elephant drank water leisurely while walking. Then the performance reached a climax, that is, the fish dragon changed. When the big fish suddenly turned into a long dragon, it began to dance in a winding way, giving people surprises and beautiful enjoyment. However, the change is not over yet. A Lynxmon, with his mouth open and his mouth closed, suddenly turned into a fairy car, driving four deer with a canopy. Toad and tortoise appeared one after another. Therefore, apart from the strange dance, Manyan's play also added the illusion performance of "easy-to-let fractal". From this, we can draw the following conclusion, that is, the huge pseudo-performance in Manyan's drama is completed by group dance, but there is also a dance performance completed by one person. These performances are described in ancient books of the Han Dynasty: Today's rich people pray for the name of Yue, look at mountains and rivers, beat cows and drums, and advocate dancing elephants. A performer who wears a mask and pretends to dance with fish, shrimp, cows and lions is sometimes called "elephant man". Later, the image of "dressed as an animal dancer" appeared on the colorful coffin unearthed from Mawangdui No.1 tomb in Hunan Province, and its action form became more mysterious.
The Yellow Palace in the East China Sea is a very famous dance program in Han Dynasty. This program is carefully recorded in the Miscellanies of Xijing written by Ge Hong, a scholar in the Jin Dynasty: I know that Ju Daolong is good at illusion, and I told what happened in ancient times: there was a Huang Gong in the East China Sea, who was able to control snakes and tigers when he was young. He was dressed in red gold armor, tied his hair crimson, and climbed clouds and sat on mountains and rivers. However, aging, exhaustion of strength and excessive drinking can not restore its operation. At the end of Qin Dynasty, a white tiger was found in the East China Sea. Huang Gong and Hong A hated it, so they were killed by the tiger. Sanfu people took it as a play, and Emperor Xian of Han also took it as a play.
Later, there was a simple record in Xijing Fu by Zhang Heng, a famous writer in the Eastern Han Dynasty. The original text is: swallowing armor and spitting fire, clouds are hazy. Draw the land into a river and flow through it. East China Sea Huang Gong, Red Zhu Yue. I'm tired of white tigers. I can't save them. Not for sale because it's evil.
According to the above two paragraphs, the plot content of the story is basically the same, which means that Huang Gong of the East China Sea was originally a man who could "sit on a mountain and river" and was so powerful that he could "control snakes and tigers". But he is old, exhausted and his magic is ineffective. After meeting the white tiger, it was eaten by the tiger.
Some historians have pointed out that the difference between the two documents lies in the comments on this musical, that is, in "Xijing Fu", Huang Gong of Donghai was considered as "wanting to do evil, so he didn't sell it", meaning that he was just a swindler on the tramp.
However, Xijing Miscellanies believes that when Huang Gong in the East China Sea was young and strong, he did have spells to control snakes and tigers. Just because he was old, drank too much, the spell failed and died in the jaws of death. Judging from the death of Huang Gong in the gate of hell, this can be said to be an irony.
Later, a picture showing the story of Huang Gong in the East China Sea appeared in the Han Dynasty brick in Linyi, Shandong Province. In the portrait, Huang Gong stood with a mask and an A, grabbing a hind leg of the tiger with his bare hands and making it want to escape. The tiger turned to yell at Huang Gong, which was quite vivid.
The appearance of the Yellow Palace in the East China Sea in the Han Dynasty has attracted the attention of dance historians, especially drama historians and ancient aesthetic researchers. So people began to combine acrobatics, juggling, music and dance to express a story. Therefore, Huang Gong in the East China Sea is often regarded as a pioneering work in the history of Chinese drama.
It is one of the important characteristics of the development of music and dance in the Han Dynasty to have such dramatic factors as "Huang Gong in the East China Sea". It indicates the new direction of the development of ancient music and dance, that is, the dramatic enhancement of music and dance art, or the combination of martial arts dance movements and specific story content.
This is where the dance of Han Dynasty surpassed the two-week dance. Of course, under the title of Jody's play, there are also some programs that win by skill, such as Qiu Tong Cai Cheng.
"Tong Cheng" in "Tong Cheng", that is, young children, can be lifted to a high platform to do all kinds of thrilling actions because of their light weight. During the performance, the adults drove in the carriage.
Sometimes there will be a four-person band in the car, and a long pole will be erected in the center of the car, and the top of the pole will be stacked to build a small platform, which is where the children can display their skills. Among them, skilled people can not only do handstands with their bare hands, but also perform bows and arrows and climb up and down.
Zhang Heng, a writer in the Eastern Han Dynasty, described this kind of car in Xijing Fu. According to the original record, mistresses build a theater car, and trees repair the party. You are a talented person, jumping up and down. Sudden reversal and following, and reunion. Hundreds of horses stand on the same footing with their feet running side by side. In the end, that state is indescribable. Bow and shoot Xiqiang, but also care about Xianbei.
