"Cloud Road" is one of the most important scenes of singing and dancing in the whole opera. From the content of the lyrics comes the body, and the body must be closely integrated with the rhythm of the singing. The costume of the maiden in this scene is to take off the cape to reveal the ancient costume, and the two silk ribbons attached to the maiden's chest become an important tool to match the song and dance. It is different from the general line tail, sweat towel, tape and other attachments, because it is important to highlight the use of it, so the length of the silk belt up to about one zhang seven feet, one foot two inches wide, a few feet at the end of the end if you do not dance when, dragged on the ground. The way to use the silk ribbon in the traditional mythological play Chen Tang Guan (Ne Zha Haunted the Sea) is to use a two-foot-long stick to pick up a long piece of silk and dance with it, which is called "playing with the dragon's tendon". I use both hands for this dance.
This scene describes the sights and sounds of the heavenly maiden as she leaves the Land of Fragrance and travels to the city of Vijayali. It is sung in "Xipi guiding board", "slow board", "two sixes" and "flowing water", "Scattered Plates". The singing is slow and fast, and the body and ribbon dances are also slow and fast, in order to create an atmosphere that symbolizes the speed of the wind in the clouds.
