Art comes from productive labor. Primitive art activities did not leave the direct purpose of obtaining material means of life, so they did not develop into independent and real art. With the development of productive forces, the evolution of social and cultural life and the growth of art itself in practice, art categories gradually diversified. In modern times, the accelerated progress of science and technology has created unprecedented powerful productive forces, provided a new material basis for the evolution and reproduction of art, and art categories have also shown a new trend of accelerating integration, differentiation and innovation.
Judging from the characteristics of artistic presentation, the artistic feature of dance is the comprehensiveness of dance. It integrates literature, drama, music, painting, sculpture, sound and light into dance art, which enhances and enriches the expressive force of dance art and promotes the higher development of dance art.
One kind of art draws inspiration and reference from other kinds of art, or absorbs some substantive elements, or just through image techniques, thus forming a mutual relationship. This connection is an art that starts from its own needs, absorbs or draws lessons from some factors of other arts, and does not change its independent nature. Or two or more kinds of art appear in one work, forming a unified and harmonious whole without changing their respective attributes.
In its own development, art is constantly experiencing the process of differentiation and synthesis. People generalize, refine, process and imagine life according to the laws of art, and works of art have a new aesthetic relationship with people, that is, they infect and influence people emotionally and ideologically-that is, their aesthetic functions. The process of interaction and mutual integration between the interpreter and the object of understanding can transcend historical restrictions and pass on excellent works from generation to generation, and then the works will be passed on from generation to generation, so that the works will be continuously created and improved in understanding.
An objective dance has no meaning in itself. Only when the comprehender understands the object can it gain meaning. Therefore, this meaning has a new meaning in the understanding of others or future generations, and dance continues to develop endlessly.
