Aesthetic Thought of Dance in Han Dynasty

Aesthetics is a branch of philosophy and a subject of logical thinking. Its research object is human aesthetic consciousness, aesthetic Fan Tao and other aesthetic cultures. Aesthetics is a radical phrase, beauty is a modification of learning, and aesthetics takes art and beauty as its core. The history of philosophy consists of logic, ethics and aesthetics. Tracing back to the source of the oldest classical dance theory of China ── A study on the aesthetic thought of music and dance in Yue Ji; Huang Xiaoming dance is a form that developed earlier in art, but the dance theory, especially the aesthetic theory of dance, developed later, so it is difficult to find more systematic and complete theoretical works in the history of dance. An aesthetic monograph Yue Ji appeared in China more than 2, years ago. Let's start with the Han Dynasty, which is the first period of great development of dance culture in China feudal society. Learning music and respecting dance is a social cultural landscape in the Han Dynasty, and ancient music and dance have become the mainstream of aesthetic culture in the Han Dynasty. The aesthetic thought of music and dance in the pre-Qin period was fully inherited and carried forward by the Han people, especially the Han people regarded "music" as a symbol of the spirit of heaven and earth, and expounded the theory of harmony between ceremony and music and heaven and earth in a more in-depth and detailed way. The theory of music and dance in the Han Dynasty never divorced from the thought of music and dance in the pre-Qin period, and greatly enriched and perfected the Confucian aesthetic theory of music and dance, which had a profound impact on the whole classical aesthetic system of China. The aesthetic thought of dance in Han Dynasty is divided into four major points: (1) Three realms of "music" and three levels of aesthetic feeling, which tells the story of "White Tiger Tongyi Ritual Music" written by Han Banguli: "Those who are happy (dance) are happy." This means that music and dance can bring happiness to people, just like the meaning in the Book of Rites, that is, "those who are happy are happy, and human feelings cannot be avoided". The happiness caused by the moon dance is an aesthetic feeling. 1. The first realm-music and dance achieve "happiness"-musicians 2. The middle realm-music and dance become "wind"-music rule 3. The upper realm-music and dance embody "Tao"-Lotte Land. In addition, the three realms of music and dance, namely, "Enjoying People", "Ruling by Music" and "Letiandi", as important propositions of the aesthetic thought of music and dance in the Han Dynasty, are not only reflected in the realm of music and dance itself, but also in the realm of China art, and also reflect the realm of Chinese national life, which is why Yue Ji is called "optimistic". (2) The four Fu's "gorgeous" and "quick and light in style", Zi Xu Fu's "gorgeous in the front, beautiful in the back", Dance Fu's "It's better to listen to its sound than to observe its shape", Watching Dance Fu's "like a drum and shining" and zhanghua Fu. (3) the aesthetic concepts of "showing ambition" and "graceful posture", the goal orientation of dance, "dancing is abnormal, inspiring the festival", the art is innovative, "graceful posture" and "carefree", creating rich dynamic visual images, and "resisting sleeve repair" (4) Far-reaching "iron out" and "unbelievable". This is the thought of aesthetics in Han Dynasty.
