Difference between traditional dance and modern dance
Dance is a kind of silent language symbols, which is closely related to the development history of human beings. According to the structure and function of dance, it can be divided into ethnic folk dance, classical dance, modern dance and popular dance. There exists a certain degree of inclusiveness and dependence among the above four kinds of dances. China's ethnic folk dance has a long history and unique characteristics. With the accelerated modernization of China's society, traditional folk dance is showing a trend of "popularization", the development of traditional folk dance and modern popular dance based on the development of national characteristics, Chinese characteristics of the dance has become an important way to prosper folk dance.
First, the difference between traditional folk dance and modern popular dance cultural qualities
China's vast expanse of land, a large number of ethnic groups, different regions and different ethnic groups with different historical traditions, habits, traditional folk dance is based on the different ethnic groups unique historical traditions, habits, etc., and popular among the local people, the traditional folk dance is the result of the unique historical traditions, habits, etc., and popular among the local people. Traditional folk dance is a form of dance based on the unique historical traditions and living habits of different ethnic groups, and is popular among the local people. Popular dance is different from folk dance. Popular dance is closely related to internationalization, and its extensiveness and popularity are higher than that of folk dance. From the aspect of artistic concept, popular dance has internationality, but in essence, popular dance refers to the dance forms originated from Europe and America, which are widely popular among the masses, with strong self-entertainment and shallow aesthetic meaning, such as Latin dance, tap dance, jazz dance and so on. Popular dance and folk dance are two different forms of dance, but they can enhance interpersonal communication and physical fitness. The development of traditional folk dance and modern popular dance is based on different foundations, which also leads to the two sides in the cultural qualities of certain differences, to explore the two different dances "isomorphic" culture, we must first compare the two dances of the cultural qualities.
(a) The homogeneity of folk dance and popular dance
First, the same origin. Folk dance and popular dance are from the life of the dance form, folk dance with the public spirit of utilitarianism, the public holds the two dance "right to speak", are performing popular content. Popularity and popularity are the characteristics of artistic performance, folk dance and popular dance do not have high professional requirements, even without professional dance training, can be quickly integrated into the two dances. In folk dance and popular dance, there is no significant difference between "artists" and "non-artists". Both folk dance and popular dance have the functions of venting emotions, expressing wishes, strengthening the body, and socializing. Popular dance is also characterized by consumer culture and is closely related to commercial profits. Secondly, from the perspective of participation form, group performance is the main performance form of folk dance and popular dance, especially folk dance, which is the most prominent mass, such as the Dai's "Gaguang", the Tujia's "Pendulum Dance". The group participation of "street dance" and "jazz dance" in modern popular dance is also very strong. Third, from the perspective of aesthetic value, folk dance has long been active in the folk, the main purpose of the performance is to meet the needs of the self, to release the emotions, self-indulgence is the ultimate goal of the two dances at the aesthetic level. Fourth, from the perspective of artistic norms, improvisation is a characteristic of both dances. Square, outdoor is the main folk dance and popular dance performance venues, openness and randomness makes its own unique characteristics, participants do not have to follow the complicated principles of stage art, do not have to care about the performance of the artistic effect of the performance of the performance of the public purely improvisation from the heart, the audience and the actors are one.
(2) The Heterogeneity of Folk Dance and Popular Dance
First of all, from the point of view of historical time and space, the origin of the two dances is heterogeneous. The traditional folk dance mainly originated in the traditional agricultural society which is mainly based on agriculture, fishing and hunting, and the main body involved is mainly the native inhabitants. Modern popular dance originates from the modern society of industrialization and urbanization, and the main participants are mainly modern city dwellers. Secondly, from the perspective of core cultural elements, the core cultural elements of the two dances are heterogeneous. Religious culture and ethnic culture are the core cultural elements of traditional folk dance, and traditional folk dance generally contains the firm beliefs and pursuits of local people. City culture, fashion culture is the core cultural elements of modern popular dance, modern popular dance is extremely active, compared with the traditional folk dance without the main root, it is a non-mainstream social ideology. Thirdly, from the perspective of art form stability, the art form stability of the two dances is heterogeneous. Folk dance has a long history of development, formed in a relatively stable geographic space, almost rarely affected by external factors. Traditional folk dance has significant style characteristics, not easy to change, and different ethnic folk dance art form is more stable. Contrary to traditional folk dance, modern popular dance is not bound by national culture, and it is both popular and fashionable. Because fashion has different connotations in different times, the forms of popular dance are also different in different times, and the art form of modern popular dance is not stable and easy to change, and it is the representative of the culture of a particular era. Fourthly, from the viewpoint of linguistic identity category, the linguistic identity categories of the two dances are heterogeneous. While traditional folk dance has strong regional characteristics and imprints, popular dance is a kind of fusion with multi-ethnic cultural characteristics. Compared with the linguistic identity category of traditional folk dance. Compared with the specificity and stability of traditional folk dance, modern popular dance is more universal and relative.
The generation mechanism of the two dances isomorphism
Isomorphism belongs to the category of psychology, the homogeneous structure of two things is isomorphism, and the mechanism refers to the principle of interrelationships and roles, which is explained in the following two dances isomorphism generation mechanism.
(1) Life consciousness
The individual's understanding and attitude towards life is life consciousness, which is a kind of cognition and enlightenment, and is the result of the synthesis of innate genes and acquired education. Traditional folk dances are characterized by the experience of life and the display of survival, such as the ritual dance, which aims to bless a party with peace through rituals. The Bionic Dance, for example, mainly simulates various creatures in nature, and the Ethnic Dance expresses the values of one's own ethnic group, so it can be said that the folk dance contains a strong sense of life. Human society is constantly moving forward, folk dance is the same, in the process of continuous development and change, which contains a strong sense of traditional life in the process of continuous development and change is becoming more and more perfect, and gradually abandoned the original feudal, superstitious ideas, the formation of a modern view of life consciousness.
(2) Urbanization and Leisure
Popular culture has always been closely linked with urban characteristics, and with the process of urbanization continues to develop. The ultimate goal of urbanization is to establish the centrality of the city. Folk dance originated in the vast rural areas, with the continuous acceleration of urbanization, these rural areas have gradually evolved into some cities, the identity of farmers is also changing, becoming a new type of urban residents, although the living environment has changed, but these residents have not given up the folk dance passed down from generation to generation, and continue to perform in their daily lives. But this performance has been to leisure and fitness, catharsis as the main purpose of traditional folk dance is changing towards popularization, therefore, urbanization and leisure is the social impetus for the isomorphism of traditional folk dance and modern popular dance.
(3) Electronic media
With the development of science and technology, electronic technology is widely used in the public's daily life, advanced electronic communication tools to break the closure of folk dance, so that the folk dance is better displayed in the public life, especially modern audio-visual technology, expanding the communication channels of the folk dance, through the replication of folk dance, and constantly promote the folk dance. Reproduction of folk dance, and constantly promote the modern conversion of folk dance popularization, therefore, the electronic media is the technical carrier of folk dance and popular dance isomorphism.
Three, the two dances "isomorphism" of the cultural value
First of all, the change of the national way of life is the content of cultural change, China's ethnic culture is thick, colorful folk dance, some folk dances have been passed down from generation to generation, preserved intact. But some folk dances have been lost, so it is imperative to protect the intangible cultural heritage. In the development process of popular dance, dancers in the folk of a large number of excavation and integration plays a crucial role. Why popular dance can be long-lasting, its main factor is to pay attention to the finishing and interpretation, therefore, should pay attention to the excavation and protection of China's traditional folk dance, finishing the excellent culture contained therein, and constantly develop the interpretation, so that the national culture glows with vitality, the two dances isomorphic cultural value, conducive to the development, inheritance and use of China's intangible cultural resources.
Secondly, it is conducive to the reform of dance teaching in colleges and universities. Dance teaching in colleges and universities is an important way to inherit and promote our country's outstanding traditional folk dance, the popular elements of popular dance into the dance teaching in colleges and universities, in line with the pursuit of contemporary college students, can improve students' interest in dance learning, mobilize students' motivation to learn, and is conducive to the reform of the dance teaching in colleges and universities from the traditional type of innovation.
Third, it is conducive to the development of tourism art and mass fitness sports resources. Traditional folk dance is an important representative of local tourism characteristics, in the traditional folk dance in the appropriate mix of popular elements, can increase the attractiveness of the dance resources, more conducive to the development and innovation of local tourism art resources. Fourth, it helps our country's dance to the world. Tap dance is a popular dance for everyone to know, but few people understand the origin of this dance. Tap dance originated from the lower class people in the United States, and was initially formed in the 18th century 20's. It is well known that the United States is an immigrant country. As we all know, the United States is a country of immigrants, tap dance is the fusion of different regions of ethnic dances. Tap dance combines the characteristics of Irish immigrant dance and African black slave dance, which is the result of the innovative fusion of the two dances.
In our country's Tibetan dance, certain dances also have the characteristics of Ton-Tap, but in the world of dance art has little influence, regionality is remarkable. If China's traditional folk dance is transformed and innovated to make it a popular dance, then it will help China's folk dance to the world, and continue to carry forward.
Four, create conditions to accelerate the process of the two dance isomorphism
(a) to create an open cultural environment
Dance is a kind of art full of innovation, the dance lack of innovation will lose its vitality, as well as for the folk dance, also is the case, which requires the development of traditional folk dance in the process. In the development process of traditional folk dance, we should create an open cultural environment, and actively draw on and absorb the concepts, creative methods and forms of expression of modern popular dance. On the one hand, traditional folk dance in the development process should have the courage to break through the traditional cultural constraints, on the other hand, should strengthen the traditional folk dance publicity efforts, to the world to disseminate the excellent traditional folk dance, folk dance should not be stagnant, only to create an open cultural environment, eclecticism, and reinvent the traditional folk dance, folk dance can be better integrated into the city, exudes its due vitality.
(2) to the public aesthetic orientation as the standard, innovative folk dance form
modern popular dance is widely popular, a large reason is due to meet the public aesthetic orientation, the form of simple, on the venue, equipment and other requirements, the threshold is very low, the average person does not need to be trained to dance. Traditional folk dance should learn from all the strengths, and actively draw on the modern popular dance simple and simple, healthy characteristics, appropriate weakening of the performance costumes, props requirements, and constantly innovate folk dance forms. In modern urban life, music with a strong sense of rhythm has always been popular among the public, folk dance can be innovated from the aspect of dance music, strengthening the sense of rhythm, weakening the melody. Take the public aesthetic orientation as the standard, and constantly cater to the public's taste. Traditional folk dance only with modern popular dance, to the public demand as the standard, in order to continue to broaden the market, development and prosperity.
(3) Pay attention to the teaching of popular dance in college art majors
Currently, popular dance is the focus of dance culture. Compared with the hot popular dance, its learning and dissemination methods are obviously lagging behind, and folk oral tradition is still its main learning and dissemination methods. In domestic higher art colleges and universities, few pop dance majors have been opened. It is true that the West is the birthplace of popular dance, and there is a certain conflict with domestic culture. But popular dance also has a lot of desirable features, if the folk dance and popular dance combination, in practice to do to avoid harm, then it will be very beneficial to the development of folk dance, pay attention to college art majors popular dance teaching is to promote the inherent requirements of folk dance. In view of this, we should strengthen exchanges between different disciplines, and actively take measures to promote the integration of popular dance and folk dance, and give full play to the positive role of popular dance.
V. Conclusion
Traditional folk dance is an important part of our country's outstanding traditional culture, to promote the development of traditional folk dance needs to correctly grasp the relationship between traditional folk dance and modern popular dance, to ensure that the reference to popular dance without losing the regional characteristics of folk dance and cultural heritage. Modern popular dance in the development process has many advantages for the development of today's folk dance has important reference significance, should continue to increase the combination of traditional folk dance and modern popular dance, the two *** with the prosperity, so that it continues to enrich the spiritual and cultural life of the masses of the people.
