"Lotus quivers, deer jumps, peacock struts" shows the characteristics of light and agile dance.
Proud as a peacock shows noble temperament.
All these are combined by Karama sisters, and the author also uses a series of parallelism sentences and metaphors to express this colorful dance.
When writing about how a dancer dances to music, the author first outlines how she uses the five senses of her limbs, her clothes bell and her slow-moving dance steps to express her complex feelings of separation, joy and sadness in the world. Then describe the details neatly, sometimes frowning, sometimes blushing, sometimes drooping, sometimes angry, sometimes docile, sometimes terrible. The snake dance, which hurts the author, is described in detail, from the shaking of the neck to the trembling of the shoulders, and then to how to make flexible peristalsis with flat arms. From here, we not only see the impeccable charm, but also feel the exciting melody.
If I were a poet, I would write a long poem to describe their various dances.
If I were a painter, I would use all kinds of colors to show their clear eyebrows and gorgeous clothes.
If I were a composer, I would use notes to convey their light dance steps and ringing bells.
If I were a sculptor, I would simulate their slim, agile and energetic figures on jade.
The author used a series of hypothetical sentences to express her admiration.
We saw that she suddenly frowned, showing infinite sadness, and suddenly blushed with laughter, showing endless joy; Suddenly, the drooping eyelids on the side show shyness of turning back and forth; Suddenly, I looked at it angrily, showing all-powerful anger; Suddenly, I touched my arm gently, drew my eyes, smoothed my eyebrows and made a delicate and decent dress. Suddenly stand up, press the arrow and pull the bow, so that people can almost hear the clank of the strings.
The author described the changes of dancers' expressions in detail with six "suddenly". At the beginning of this section, the author said, "Although we don't know the content of the story", why can she describe the expression changes of the dancers in such detail? That's because the performer's performance is so vivid and touching that the audience is completely attracted, so that it crosses the national and cultural boundaries.
