Among the basic movement elements of Chinese dance body rhythm, Shen Yun is an exceptionally important concept. Shen refers to connotation, grace, rhythm and temperament. If there is no charm in any art, it can be said that there is no soul. In the movement of the human body in classical dance, the charm can be recognized and felt. And it is by grasping the "spirit" that the "form" comes to life and the true meaning of the dance can be experienced. The "heart, mind, and energy" are the materialization of "divinity". In the concept of "heart", it emphasizes the connotation of qi, breath and intention. It can be said that without rhythm, there is no classical Chinese dance. Without the excitement and drive of inner emotion, the most important luster of classical Chinese dance is lost.
It is often said that "the eyes are the windows of the soul, the eyes are the tools of God", and the "gathering, releasing, condensing, closing, closing" of the eyes does not refer to the movement of the eyeballs themselves, but it is precisely the result of the connotation of the domination and the rhythm of the psychology, which shows that the charm is the dominating force of everything. This precisely shows that the divine rhythm is dominating everything. "Before the form moves, God leads first; when the form stops, God does not stop." This mnemonic expresses the interrelationship and inner connection between form and spirit in a graphic and accurate way. "Jin" means the inner rhythm and the layered, contrasting strength of the external movements. The running rhythm of Classical Chinese Dance is not quite the same as the rhythm of regular 2/4, 3/4, 4/4 style music. It is often in the soothing but not slow, tight but not chaotic, movement in the quiet, quiet in the movement of the free and regular "elastic" rhythm.
"Strength" is not only in the process of action, but also in the end of the action is very important. Whether it is opera, ballet, martial arts routines are very important to the end of the action before the instant rhythm processing, Chinese classical dance is no exception, it has the following types of typical debut of the strength: "inch strength" a posture, angle, orientation are ready to use an inch between the strength of the "finishing touch"; "reverse"; "counterpoint"; "the strength" is not only in the process of the action, but also in the "flexible" rhythm. "Reflection" - to give the end of the physical modeling of a great strength of the reaction force, so as to strengthen and accentuate the final modeling; "God" - everything has been completed, and the use of the eyes and limbs for the extension of the sense of The "Shen Jing" - everything has been completed, but the eyes and limbs are used to extend the sense of "form has stopped but God has not". The word "law" it connotes the movement of its own rhythmic and movement in accordance with the laws of the two meanings. Generally speaking, the movement must be "smooth", and this "smooth" is the "right law" in the law, and the movement through "smooth" seems to have a smooth flow. "It seems to have a sense of flowing water, a sense of completion. The "anti-law" of "not smooth, then smooth" is also unique to classical dance, which can produce a dynamic sense of human movement that is ever-changing, confusing, and ever-changing. It is these special laws that give rise to the special aesthetics of classical dance, such as the law of movement "Whenever there is a rush, there must be a lean, and when there is an opening, there must be a closing, and when there is a front, there must be a back". Whether it is a one-two punch, the downward trend of pushing the boat with the water, or the reverse trend of the opposite, or "starting from the opposite side", all of them embody the beauty of the Chinese classical dance's roundness, travel, change and illusion, which is precisely the essence of the Chinese "dance law".
