Stylistic Features and Performance Forms of Northeast Yangge
The Northeast Yangge has always been known for its passion and humor, and the following is my detailed introduction to the stylistic features and performance forms of Northeast Yangge!
First, the style characteristics and performance forms of the Northeast Yangge
The Northeast Yangge is circulated in the three northeastern provinces of China. It is characterized by a unique style that is warm, hot, funny and witty. And formed a complete set of performance form, contains the Guandong people's aesthetic mentality and artistic interests. Northeast Yangge has its own specific style, which exists in all kinds of movements. Northeast Yangge has a witty form and a unique style. No matter in spring, summer, autumn or winter, there are spontaneous Yangge teams dancing by the side of the road or in activity centers, and if different Yangge teams meet each other, there will be drums and music, and they will worship each other, and then there will be a series of competitive performances showing the heights of each team. The viewers for the good, performers entertain themselves, forgetting to devote themselves, the interest of a thousand. At the same time, it is performed in the form of a **** there are three: "big drum rice-planting song, small drum rice-planting song, ground rice-planting song.
(a) big drum rice-planting song
big drum rice-planting song in the three forms of the most widespread, especially in the south of Liaoning region of Yingkou, Haicheng and Gaixian and other places more prevalent. It is mainly distinguished from the small-drum rice-planting songs by the props used.
(B) Small Drum Yangge
Small Drum Yangge is divided into "Tianjin Stilts" and "Small Drum Stilts". Performers step on wooden stilts of about one foot six inches, because both are accompanied by waist drums and gongs, so collectively known as small drums Yangge.
(C) ground rice-planting song
ground rice-planting song is a kind of rice-planting song not on stilts, and now what we learn in class belongs to the ground rice-planting song. It is also known as "Ground Bouncer" and is mainly spread in Shenyang and Fushun.
Second, from the action and inner feelings to understand and master the rhythmic characteristics of the Northeast rice-planting songs
People's thoughts, aesthetics, emotions, and concepts have evolved along with the rapid development of this society. As a dancer also y appreciate the progress of society. China has fifty-six nationalities, Han, Mongolia, Tibet, Fresh, Vi and so on, you can imagine the rich and colorful folk dance, but also created a different style of dance. And this style is exactly the key to a good folk dance. Northeast rice-planting song is the same, has its own specific style, lost this style is no longer a rice-planting dance. Today's Northeast Rice-planting Song has a witty form and a unique style. The vast black land gives it a pure and bold spirit and flavor, integrating spiciness, humor, quietness and steadiness, and it brings out the warm and simple character traits of the Northeastern people who are strong and flexible in the best possible way. Wave (lively) in stability, playful in wave, and strong in play, which is summarized as "strong, playful and wave". At the same time, a variety of "flowers in the hands", fast-paced elastic drums, these are the most important features of the Northeast Rice-planting Song.
"Burgundy, pretty, wave" in the meaning of the Northeast Yangge. Only has a special guiding significance, the writings of the "Burgundy" introduction, few and far between, and according to my understanding of this "Burgundy" a lot of people do not know what it means, so I looked up a lot of information on the Northeast rice-planting songs, but the interpretation is very little. Therefore, with my own learning and practice, I think it should be a combination of the regular "deng jin" of the knee and the "lixiao jin" of the dancing and turning, forming a special dynamic rhythm called "艮（gen (Gen) Strength. The movements that best characterize the Northeast Rice-planting Song are the front kick step, the back kick step and the handkerchief flower.
The front kick of the Northeast Yangge contains many unique stylistic features, such as: the moment of the recovery of the center of the square step to move, reflecting the girl's unique delicate and physical performance of the beauty of the soft water. In fact, dance is like a dish, the same dish, different people fry will fry a different flavor. Because everyone's understanding is not the same, so the expression of emotion is different!
The original northeast rice-planting song to "small" for beauty. But with the modern development trend of Northeast Yangge, the movement training of Northeast Yangge in the classroom has been in accordance with the feeling of the stage, people's aesthetics and the development trend of the requirements. For example, in the past, there were a lot of movements with large amplitude and small amplitude in Northeast Rice-planting Song, but now the movements with "large" amplitude are required to be bigger. But now the amplitude of "big" movements should be bigger, and the amplitude of "small" movements should be smaller. This makes it more adaptable to the inner experience and the pursuit of meaning of modern dancers. Dance is the expression of the human heart, I think only understand the northeast rice-planting songs can really feel the style from the heart. Only then can the style be shown.
