Bai Juyi's Song of Dress and Micro-poem
I once accompanied Xian Di and Yuan Yuan to a banquet in Zhaoyang. There are countless songs and dances, among which the most favorite is the dress dance.
When dancing, cold food and spring breeze days, jade hook down the bar before the incense table. Yan Ruyu, who was a dancer before the incident, didn't wear fashionable clothes.
Xia rocked her crown, and she was full of admiration. Have a graceful demeanour doesn't seem to be Luo Qi, but Gu Jiling will hang up soon.
Zheng Xiao and the flute are mixed with each other, and their voices are swaying with a flick of their fingers. Scatter six plays without moving clothes, and the balcony does not fly.
In the middle sequence, the bamboo poles crack in autumn and break the ice in spring. Floating back to the light snow, smiling and sending Youlong a surprise.
The weeping willows are weak, and the clouds are long. The smoke moth is at a loss, and the wind sleeves are low and affectionate.
Shangyuan refers to the green calyx, and the queen mother bid farewell to Joan. Numerous sounds are urgent for twelve times, and jumping beads shake jade.
Xiang Luan's dance is full of wings, and the crane song ends. I was surprised at first sight, but not enough to stare.
I haven't heard this song since 1989 fell into the world. Listen to mandrills in the city, and cuckoos crow under the dam.
In the second year of moving to Aiqiantang, I was in the mood to ask Sizhu. Exquisite and graceful, thank you Zheng, and talk about your life.
Clear strings and brittle pipes make delicate hands, so that you can make beautiful skirts. By the lake in front of the virtual white pavilion, just press it three times before and after.
I threw that bastard away. I heard that the stars are scattered now. I went to Suzhou in May this year to get old at dusk.
A greedy case often invades the night, not listening to it. Qiu Lai had nothing to do but be bored, and suddenly he had nowhere to ask.
Wen Jun, whose ministry is full of musicians, asked if there were any female dancers. There are100000 households in Yun Qi county, and no one knows that there is a costume party.
Just send Long song with me, titled "Dress and Feather Spectrum". Four flower notes are blue and red, and clothes are written in them.
There are many different forms, just like the dancers in Zhaoyang. At present, I seem to see the shape and quality. I think the past and the present are the same.
Doubt comes from a soul dream, like writing a picture of Danqing. I love acquaintance, born in singing and shaped in poetry.
I've never heard of you, breaking the tune of rainbow skirt and feather coat. I'll never see my poem again, and I haven't finished filming the song "Love in a Dress".
Everything has its owner, and Yang created the sound spectrum and wealth. You said this kind of dance is rare. It must be "City of Poor Girls".
Xiaoyu, the demon of martial arts, flies like smoke, and the more beautiful it is, the more beautiful it is. Beautiful flowers and clever smiles have been lonely for a long time, and the nursery is empty.
As you said, it's true. Try to listen to me calmly. If you want the national color to spread, I'm afraid this dance will be abolished.
Yao Yan's advantages and disadvantages are far from each other, and most of them are just flattery. Li Juan's Zhang Taijun is not too suspicious, and he plans to learn from it as appropriate.
Note: (1) mixed with the flute, percussion (yè) played the lingering sound (yǐlǐ): When the French music began to be played in the Tang Dynasty, Qing (Tang Dynasty bronze bowl), Zheng, Xiao and Xiao. "Yi" is the same as "Yi" in ancient times, indicating the playing method of pressing with fingers.
(2) There are six songs in the random sequence, and the balcony does not fly: six songs are played in the random sequence, and there is no beat, so the dance has not started yet.
(3) The middle sequence breaks (bò), Huū enters the beat for the first time, the bamboo pole cracks in autumn, and the ice is broken in spring: the music starts the beat from the middle sequence (also known as the beat sequence), and then the dance begins. "Break" refers to the fingering of plucking the strings, which is called breaking by lifting the strings with the thumb. "Fu" means a crackling sound. "Break" is actually to lift the strings with your thumb and cut the sound quickly, so that the instrument will make a sound similar to a sudden break.
(4) It was drifting, and the snow was light. Youlong was surprised by her smile. Willow leaves become weak when one hand is put down, and the clouds come alive when they are dragged obliquely: these four sentences all describe the posture when you first started dancing.
(5) Shangyuan points out the green calyx, and the Queen Mother bids farewell to Joan: "Shangyuan" refers to Shangyuan's wife, the legendary goddess; Its position in the Heavenly Palace is second only to that of the Empress Dowager. "Calyx Green" and "Feiqiong" are sepal green flowers and Xu Feiqiong respectively, both of which are fairies in the heavenly palace.
(6) the urgent sound is twelve, and the jumping beads shake the jade. The third part of colorful feather clothes was "broken" 12 times, and then the music ended.
(7) When Xiangluan dances, she closes her wings, and the crane music ends with a long tone: the general music stops with a sharp tone, while the colorful feathers end with a slow rhythm, and then ends with a long tone, like a crane in the sky.
(8) Gancheng, but listening to the mandrill language, I heard Du Fu crying under the dam: "Gancheng" refers to Jiangzhou (now Jiujiang, Jiangxi); "Under the dam" refers to Zhongzhou (now Zhongxian County, Chongqing). In the 14th year of Tang Yuanhe (AD 8 19), the poet Bai Juyi was promoted from Jiangzhou Sima to Zhongzhou Secretariat.
(9) Linglong Zheng, Chen Chongyi (b‖) Dan (l‖) Shen Pingsheng: Shang Linglong,, and Shen Ping are all geisha in Hang Cheng. Zan, as an ancient wind instrument, is shaped like a trumpet, with reeds as the mouth and bamboo as the pipe, and its timbre is desolate. Also known as "Baba", "Sad Chestnut" and "Eight Pass".
(10) and broke the tune of the rainbow skirt and feather: Bai Juyi's poem "Song of Eternal Sorrow": "Yu Yang incited and broke the tune of the rainbow skirt and feather." .
(1 1) When Qu Ai's clothes were not photographed: Bai Juyi's poem "Re-titled Bie Dong Lou" said: "After the banquet was properly combed, Qu Ai's clothes were not photographed".
(12) Xiaoyu, the demon of Wu, turned into a wisp of smoke. She became more and more gorgeous and more beautiful. Xiaoyu, the daughter of Fu Cha, the king of Wu, died and came to see the king of Wu in human form. Xiaoyu's mother wanted to hug her, and she turned into a wisp of smoke and flew away.
(13) Zhang Taijun Juan Li is not suspicious, and he plans to learn from him as appropriate: Juan Li and Zhang Taijun are both Suzhou geisha.
The whole poem tells a story: I served Tang Xianzong in Yuanhe years and once attended a banquet in the palace. I have seen countless court dances and dances, among which the dance of clothes and feathers is my favorite. It was the spring of the Cold Food Festival, and they danced in front of the incense table under the jade hook. The dancer in front of the incense table looks like jade and wears no ordinary clothes. Dancers wear rainbow-like clothes and beads. She has many garlands and Yu Pei, and she sings beautifully when dancing. The dancer listened to the dance music with graceful posture. Pian, Xiao, Zheng, flute and other musical instruments have been played one after another, and the sounds of beating, bending, beating and blowing are long and charming. The music was played randomly for six times, and the dancers' costumes were like fragments of Suyun on the balcony peak. The music sequence and beat in the middle, its sound is like autumn bamboo blooming, like spring ice melting. The light and rotating dance is like returning air and flying snow, and the pace of moving forward is as smart as that of Youlong. As soon as he put down his hand, he looked like a willow tree, and his skirt floated obliquely, just like white clouds rising. Diane's eyebrows are looking forward to the unspeakable beauty, and the dance sleeves are flying in the wind with thousands of customs. Just like Lady Shangyuan invited the fairy sepals to bloom, just like the Queen Mother of the West waved her sleeves to bid farewell to the fairy Xu Feiqiong. Twelve times, the melody is fast and gorgeous, like a beating pearl hitting a jade piece. Dancing like a couple with wings spread and flying, the finale is a long audio-visual crane in the air. The first time I saw this dance, I was shocked and dazzled, but I was not satisfied after watching it. Since 1989 was demoted to a private enterprise, I'm afraid I won't have a chance to watch this song and dance. In Jiangzhou, you can only hear mandrill night talk, while in Zhongzhou, you can only hear cuckoo crow. Later, when I became the secretariat of Hangzhou, I had the opportunity and mood to relive this skill. Shang Linglong's graceful, thanked Zheng; Four geisha who are good at playing orchestral music, my Baba and Shen Ping's Sheng, were finally cultivated by me. They performed three times before and after the lake in front of the virtual white pavilion. Later, because his term of office had expired, he left Hangzhou. I heard that they have now separated. I came to Suzhou as a clerk in May this year. Time flies and my hair turns white. I often work late into the night on official business, and I have no time to listen to music until late autumn. In autumn, my business is less, but I feel bored. I don't know where to ask when I think of clothes songs. I heard that there are many excellent players in Yuezhou. Do you know how to dance in clothes and feathers? You answered 100 thousand households in seven counties of Yuezhou, and none of them knew neon dance music. And you gave me a long poem entitled "Clothing and Feather Spectrum". The colors of the four stationery are green and red respectively, which records the poems of Nishang. It seems that all the scenes of neon dancing are displayed in it, just like what I saw in the palace. In front of my eyes, I seem to see the dancer's posture and elegant temperament in those days, and it is the same now. It's like meeting in a dream and appearing in a painting. As you know, I am very keen on neon songs and often write them into poems. You should still remember that there is a tune of "and the colorful clothes are broken" in "Song of Eternal Sorrow", and there is a poem of "Don't East Building" that "when the song is in love, the clothes are not taken". There has always been a creator of all skills. Yang Jingzhong made sounds according to law, and Ming Taizu made music himself. You said it was difficult to find a performer for this kind of dance, and it had to be a beautiful and lovely girl. Unfortunately, the light rain of Fu Cha, the daughter of the prince of Wu, turned to smoke, and the stone had already turned to dust. It's been a long time since I saw the beauty of peerless beauty. Guanwa Palace and Zhuluo Village have all become empty places. Maybe that's true, but please listen to me: if you want to find a beautiful woman to teach, this dance can't last long. In fact, the beauty and ugliness of women are not far apart, and most of them still need the cultivation and flattery of others. I have Li Juan and Zhang Zhou here, please don't think they are not cute; I want to make do with it and train them into talents.
Song of Nishang Feather, formerly known as Song of Nishang Feather, is a word written by Yuan Zhen, a great poet in the Tang Dynasty. In other words, Bai Juyi's poem "Coat Song" was written to praise Yuan Zhen's "Coat Song", but this poem of Yuan Zhen has been lost. Feather dance is one of the most famous court dances in Tang Dynasty, which integrates poetry, music and dance. In Tang poetry, you can often see the description of the dance of clothes and feathers; In many of his poems, Bai Juyi mentioned the dance and music of costumes, and said: "There are countless songs and dances, and I like the dance of costumes best"; The poem "Yi Yu Ge" is the most detailed description of this kind of music and dance that we can see at present, and it is also a very precious material for studying the court music and dance in Tang Dynasty. Let me introduce Cai Yu in detail first.
There are many different versions of the origin of colorful feathers; (Tang Dynasty) Zheng Bi's Notes on Jinyangmen's Poems says: "Ye Fashan led Ming Di into the Moon Palace, and he enjoyed it, half writing it on the flute, and the cool house in the west entered the Sanskrit, with a harmonious rhyme and harmony." Ye Fashan was a famous monk in the Tang Dynasty. It is said that Taoism is mysterious. In addition, there are similar records in Ming Taizu Miscellanies, Liu Zongyuan's Dragon City and Historical Records. Zheng Bi's narrative is in line with Bai Juyi's poem: "Everything has its owner, and Shi Yang makes sounds and composes music". During the Kaiyuan period, I made Yang Jingzhong make a sound according to law in Hexi, and presented it to Emperor Taizong. After Li Longji won the song, he combined what he heard with Yue Xian, polished the lyrics and personally wrote this famous song in Liyuan. In the thirteenth year of Tianbao, it was renamed Caiyu. To sum up, "Colorful Feathers" should be a divine dance.
In addition, Cai Yu is also a masterpiece of the Tang Dynasty. Fa Qu, also known as Fa Yue, first appeared in the book Fa Xian Zhuan in the Eastern Jin Dynasty. It is named after the Dharma Association used in Buddhism. French music was introduced into China from India in the Sui Dynasty. According to "Twelve Rites and Music in the New Tang Dynasty", there was a Sui-style tune at the beginning, during which the musical instruments were flexible, and the cymbals, chimes, chimes and buildings were very flute and pipa. ..... Xuanzong not only knew the melody, but also loved French music. He chose to teach his children in the pear garden for 300 years. If the sound is wrong, the emperor will find that it is correct. Later, our Hexi emissary Yang Jingzhong presented 12 "colorful feathers", and all the songs came to an abrupt end, only "colorful feathers" ended, which would lead to a slow voice. ..... In the 24th year of Kaiyuan, Hu Bu was promoted to class. Tianbao Music uses boundary names, such as Liangzhou, Yizhou and Ganzhou. Later, Daodiao, Fadiao and Hubu New Voice cooperated. " ; These records are also consistent with the descriptions in Bai Juyi's poems.
There are thirty-six chapters (paragraphs) in the whole song "Colorful Feather", which consists of three parts: three sequences (six chapters), Zhong Xu (eighteen chapters) and music score (twelve chapters), and integrates singing, dancing and instrumental music. "Prose" consists of six preludes, all of which are scattered boards with free rhythm. They are played solo or in turn with instruments such as Qing, Xiao, Zheng and flute, and they don't dance or sing, that is, "Qing, Xiao, Zheng and flute are mixed, struck and played". Preface, also known as "Song Tou" or "Pai Preface", is a lyric passage of Adagio, with several changes from slow to fast in the middle. It has songs and dances, accompanied by instrumental music, that is, singing and dancing according to the beat of music, which is called "the middle sequence breaks into the beat, the autumn bamboo pole cracks, and the spring ice breaks". It is also called the dance time, which is the climax of the whole song. Dance is the main theme, accompanied by instrumental music, and the music is sonorous, and the speed gradually accelerates from loose board to adagio to quick beat. At first, there was a pine board called "broken". Bai Juyi's poem "Lie Listening to Fa Qu (Nishang)" says: "After the hazy idle dream comes into being, it is soft and fashionable", so it can be seen that its tune is quite lyrical, but it soon turns into the Allegro part of "making twelve sounds in a hurry, dancing pearls and shaking jade". Before this part was transferred to Allegro, there was a "virtual rush" from scattered board to Allegro, and there were several changes from fast to fast in the middle. At the end of the song, the rhythm slowed down again and then ended with a long note. Bai Juyi said to himself, "At the end of the song, only the end of the coat leads to a long sound." It can be seen that "Color Feather" does not end with a very fast "trick" like other big songs, and the ending is very long.
Colorful feathers were very popular in the court of the Tang Dynasty and played an important role in the music and dance in the prosperous Tang Dynasty. During the court performance, Xuanzong personally taught the disciples of Liyuan to play, and the ladies-in-waiting sang in the form of group dance. This kind of dance was later spread to the people, and it also appeared in the form of single dance or double dance. Bai Juyi, Yuan Zhen and others have wonderful descriptions of the performance scene of this song in their poems.
In addition to the Qin, flute, Zheng and Xiao mentioned above, Bai Juyi also mentioned "exquisite and graceful, thanks to Zheng, Chen Chong and Shen Pingsheng." Clear the string, make the tube delicate, that is, piano, violin, sheng and other musical instruments are also used. However, in the court performance in Xuanzong period of Tang Dynasty, there were four clips (frames) of jade, one for piano, organ, floor, flute, knee pipe, sheng and taro. It seems that the band organization is closer to Le Qing's system. This song has spread to the people, and it is also played by a single instrument, such as pipa, guzheng, flute and other instruments; You can also use several musical instruments to ensemble, such as Zan, Sheng, Zheng and so on.
"Colorful Feather" is very particular about performers' costumes, "don't wear other people's vulgar clothes", the skirt is like a rainbow, and the silk draped over the body is like a flying cloud, inlaid with gold and pearls, which is crisp and pleasant; Hair is combed in pairs, and the head is decorated with gold beads. The dance is light and soft, advancing and retreating freely. Long sleeves are like weak willows and skirts are like clouds. Feather-decorated dance costumes wave their arms like a couple spreading their wings.
Colorful feather clothes show that the style of Daqu in Tang Dynasty is huge and changeable, and its artistic expression, artistic conception creation and absorption and melting of foreign music all show the brilliant achievements of court music and dance in Tang Dynasty.

"Thank you, Xiaoyao." Yuan Yuan didn't know that Xiaoyao was protecting her and avoiding unnecessary troubles.
"I promised you, I won't let you get any harm, I shall not remember, won't do it? Well, don't think about anything. Everything has me and Yuanyuan. You just need to get there and finish your dance. " Xiao Yao confessed.
Yuanyuan said nothing. She remembered Xiaoyao's kindness to her At the same time, according to Xiaoyao's signal, she walked slowly to the center of the stage and made a gesture to the lighting engineer. A few seconds later, a bunch of pursuers hit Yuanyuan, and at the same time, the neon song slowly sounded.
Under the signal of chasing the lamp, I saw Dai Jinhua Yugui, with a round head and exquisite steps, wearing peacock feathers inlaid with pearls and other ornaments, wearing colorful robes on her shoulders and a dance skirt as light as neon, standing gracefully in the center of the stage, with her sleeves fluttering gently. At that moment, Yuanyuan attracted everyone's attention.
Xiao Wan, who accompanied her, whispered: Yan Ruyu, a dancer before the crime, didn't wear vulgar clothes. Xia rocked her crown, and she was full of admiration.
The sound engineer plays colorful feather clothes, played by Yuan Yuan Xiaowan. The tune is long and lyrical, and the artistic conception is far away. Yuan Yuan danced to the music.
At this time, everyone finally understood why it was called the wonderful work of French music in the Tang Dynasty in China and a bright pearl in the history of music and dance. It describes the myth that Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty yearned for immortals and went to visit the Moon Palace. Its dance, interest and costumes have made great efforts to describe the illusory fairyland and dancing fairy image, giving people an immersive artistic feeling.
Bai Juyi described the structure and dance of this song in detail in Song of Dress Dancing: the whole song consists of 36 sections, which are composed of three parts: prosody (six sections), middle preface (eighteen sections) and broken music (twelve sections), and it integrates singing, dancing and instrumental music. He was lucky enough to watch a pair of beautiful dancers perform this dance. He once praised their wonderful performances, such as nodding and waving sleeves. "There are countless songs and dances, so I like neon dancing best."
It's not that people haven't enjoyed the collective performance of modern colorful feathers. How to describe it? With the artistic cooperation of smoke and lighting, I only feel that the stage dozens of meters away is like entering a fairyland-fairy music is fluttering, beauty is like a cloud, like a dream!
Today, Yuan Yuan is dancing a legendary solo on the stage. It is said that Yi Yu dance is a solo dance, and Yang Guifei is best at it. According to legend, when Li Longji was sleepwalking in the Moon Palace, he heard Yue Xian playing in the sky and fairies dancing in neon feathers. The fairy's singing is mysterious and beautiful, and the dancing fairy dances gracefully. When Li Longji woke up, he still remembered the scene in his dream, so he made colorful feathers.
After Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty wrote "Colorful Feathers", Yang Yuhuan, who is good at singing and dancing, browsed a little and danced according to rhyme, just like a fairy descending to earth, ethereal and magical. She also wrote a four-line poem: "The sleeves are fragrant and red in the autumn smoke." At the beginning of the wind shaking in Yunling, the water blowing in the tender willow pool "is used to describe this kind of dance.
Unfortunately, after the Anshi Rebellion, Cai Yu was lost, and by the middle Tang Dynasty, it had been forgotten by the world. With the decline and downfall of the Tang Dynasty, a generation of famous songs were "silent and not passed on". During the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period, Li Yu, the queen of the Southern Tang Dynasty, accidentally discovered the residual music. With her own musical talent, Queen Zhou Ehuang, together with musician Cao Sheng, searched for sounds according to the music score and rehearsed it once to restore the colorful feathers that had been lost for 200 years. It is a miracle in the history of music, but it also loses the original flavor of Tang Xuanzong and Yang Guifei.
At this time, Yuan Yuan's dance is no longer a colorful feather dress, but the brilliance created by Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty and her * * *. "It seems that you have a graceful demeanour and don't let Luo Qi, but you have to listen to music. The sound of Zheng Xiaodi is mixed, and the sound of hitting the bomb is lingering. "
