The introduction of this kind of dance is recorded in many historical books, mainly from Kang, Shi, Mi and other countries in the western regions.
Hu Xuan's dance is lively and cheerful, so it is named Hu Xuan because of its rotation and pedaling. The accompaniment music is mainly percussion music, which is suitable for its fast rhythm and strong style. "Hu Xuan Dance" is a kind of rotating dance introduced from the western regions through the Silk Road.
Hu Xuan dance is a famous dance of northwest ethnic minorities.
In the Tang Dynasty, the Governor's Office of Kangju was established in Guo Kang (now Uzbekistan and Samarkand) in the western regions. Bai Juyi's "Hu Xuan Slave-Poem" mentioned that Hu Xuan slaves left their comfortable homes, and "The Book of the New Tang Dynasty and Biography of the Western Regions" also recorded that the factory had sent Hu Xuan slaves to the palace at that time.
In Chang 'an, it became the wind for a while and became the most popular and fashionable Hu dance at that time. Therefore, Hu Xuan Dance was originally a dance with national characteristics from Guo Kang and other places. "The Book of the New Tang Dynasty and the Biography of the Western Regions" says: "A healthy person, whose day is at the end of Samui, also known as throwing swords, is a so-called person who knows ten thousand catties during the Yuan and Wei Dynasties. It is about 0/50 Li north of the city in the south, more than 0/00 Li from Caoxi/Kloc-in the northwest, 0/00 Li from Mibai/Kloc-in the southeast and 50 Li from Caozhong in the north. In the south of Mishui, there are 30 big cities and 300 small castles. Your surname is Wen, and you are from this month. He began to live in Zhaowu, north of Qilian, and was later destroyed by Turks. Just south of the green ridge, it is called a place. " According to the report, Guo Kang "likes drinking, singing and dancing", and I am particularly fascinated by Hu Xuanwu.
Bai Juyi wrote a long poem "Hu Xuan Dance", which vividly showed the posture and expression of Hu Xuan's daughter: Hu Xuan's daughter, Hu Xuan's heart should be harmonious, and her hands should be drummed. String drum-sound double sleeve lift, dancing with your back to the snow. Turn left and right, never tired. There is nothing like human beings. The wheels are slow and the whirlwind is late. At the end of the Song Dynasty, he thanked the emperor again, and the emperor was slightly embarrassed. Hu out, out of the Shu family, came to Wan Libai. ………
According to Hu's poems, he dances quickly in drum music, like snowflakes dancing in the air and like grass dancing in the wind. Even the speeding wheels feel slower than her, even worse than the rapid whirlwind. Left and right hands, tireless, thousands of turns. Turning around so fast, the audience can hardly see her face and back, which highlights the characteristics of Hu Xuan's dance. Hu Xuan dance is a folk dance handed down from the comfortable residence in the western regions. According to the textual research of Wei Yuan, a scholar in Qing Dynasty, in Wu Shengji, "part of Kazakhstan is nomadic, chasing weeds, and it is an ancient and comfortable residence". It can be seen that Hu Xuan dance written by Bai Juyi is a dance of Kazakh girls with national characteristics.
Dance is beautiful because of movement, and the heart flies because of dance.
Dances in the Tang Dynasty are mainly divided into two types: healthy dance and soft dance. Healthy dance mainly shows the beauty of vigorous; Soft dance mainly shows the beauty of softness. Hu Xuan dance belongs to healthy dance. Hu Xuan dance is characterized by lightness, rapid rotation and distinct rhythm. Hu Xuan Dance got its name because it had to spin rapidly and constantly when dancing.
