As a book, what is so important about "Teaching Classical Chinese Dance in Body Rhythm"?

"Body rhythm" is the general term for "body method" and "rhythm". "Body rhythm" belongs to the category of external technique, "rhythm" belongs to the connotation of art, the organic combination of the two and penetration, in order to truly reflect the style of classical Chinese dance and the essence of aesthetics. In other words, "body rhythm" means "both form and spirit, body and mind, internal and external unity", which is an indispensable symbol of Chinese classical dance and the artistic soul of Chinese classical dance. Body rhyme, although the source of the style is obvious, but it can no longer be named "opera dance" name, its metamorphosis from opera to dance has been basically completed. It has been rid of the original opera dance on the role of the line of the thousands of changes, but no matter how to change, and is the same thing, this "one" and this "change" is a rare character of art, but also the aesthetics of an art of the essentials.

A mature folk dancer on the stage to show the action has an aesthetic value and artistic charm, because of the embodiment of the "shape, God, strength, law" of the high degree of integration, which is the important means of expression of the body rhyme of Chinese classical dance. As the basic movement elements of body rhythm, "form, spirit, strength and rhythm" highly summarize all the connotations of body rhythm. Shape, i.e., external movement, includes posture and the line of movement connected with its action. God, i.e., the spirit, the mind, is the dominant part of the dominant role. Jin, or force, contains the artistic treatment of the relationship between lightness, weight, slowness, strength, weakness, length, rigidity and flexibility. Law, that is, the law of movement itself. The relationship between these four major elements of movement is to achieve the unity of form and spirit, inside and outside, through Jin and Ruling. The law is "harmony between heart and mind, harmony between mind and qi, harmony between qi and force, and harmony between force and form". This is a pithy generalization and distillation. These words are highly unified and harmonized with the elemental movements, which constitute the aesthetic theory of dance with Chinese characteristics.
