The basic rhythm of the Northeast Yangge dance movement
The Northeast Yangge is a folk dance that is very popular among the people, and the movement is relatively simple. Here are the basic rhythms of Northeast Yangge dance movements with me, I hope it will help!
The basic rhythm of the Northeast Yangge dance movement
a. Pressing the heel: the different foot position of the pressure of the heel. Such as the front step, small step, big eight step, bow and arrow step. Pressing the heel when the second half of the beat double heel heel, forefoot on the ground, legs quite knee. In the first half of the beat, quickly drop your feet to the heel, lift the heel for a short time, and drop to the ground for a relatively long time.
b. Double knee flexion and extension: different characteristics of double knee activities. Hard flexion and extension of the double knee fast flexion and extension and elasticity; soft flexion and extension of the knee joint flexion and extension to have an inherent sense of flexibility, the music of the action of the heavy beat of the body's center of gravity downward; straight knees to show that the action of the funny, playful characteristics.
c. Upper Body Rhythm: The body rhythm of Northeast Rice-planting Song is mainly swinging from side to side and twisting back and forth. The horizontal body swing is the body of the left and right sides of the chest and waist alternately lifting pressure, the formation of the upper body of the left and right side of the horizontal swing. Front and back twisting is the waist as the axis, shoulder-based body alternately twisted back and forth on the left and right sides of the body, shoulder and upper body twisting to form a body, crotch do not twist, such as the shoulder of the alternating front and back rowing circle that is, the right shoulder drives the upper body behind the upper arc to the front, at the same time, the left shoulder walks down the arc to the rear.
In daily life, everyone must move the center of gravity, usually walking the center of gravity is constantly moving, is sitting, standing, can also move the center of gravity at any time, the center of the human body, the center of gravity to move, and vice versa: the center of gravity, the center of gravity will move, which can maintain balance. The same is true in dance, almost all dances, the lack of the center of gravity to move the flow, and the pace of the dance, is the most typical center of gravity to move. In folk dance, all the steps, such as the flat step of Korean dance, the milling step of Jiaozhou, and the wind and willow step of Flower Drum Lantern are all unique styles of center of gravity movement. In the Northeast Rice-planting Song, the most distinctive step that best reflects the movement of the center of gravity is the "kicking step".
The rhythmic style of the Northeast Yangge can be summarized as "stable in waves", and the strength, beauty and spiciness of the dance add a lot of color to this dance. The "wave" of Northeast Yangge is reflected in the rhythm of the body; the "strong" is shown in the kicking step "out of the rapid and stable", and the "kicking step" has a particularly strong sense of rhythm. The rhythm of "kicking step" is particularly strong, a single kick has three different changes in one beat, the moment of kicking out is a very fast process of exertion, which is like a quick inhalation, and when landing on the foot, it is like a moment of sudden breathing, but it is quickly transformed into a long sigh like a movement of the center of gravity. Among these three variations, the moment of kicking out embodies the characteristics of "Burgundy", "Pretty", "Spicy", "Quick" and "Dry", while the landing and the movement of the center of gravity fully embodies the characteristics of the dynamic style of "Stability", "Beauty" and "Wave". Wave". "Wave" is reminiscent of an arc. The center of gravity of Northeast Yangge is actually a small arc, the center of gravity of the front kick is the lower arc; the back kick and side kick, the center of gravity is the upper arc. When these arcs are connected together, it is the "wave" of the arc type of dynamics.
From the "kick step" of the slow movement of the center of gravity, "slow movement" itself gives people a continuous, very coherent and beautiful visual image, fully revealing the mature Han women's euphemistic, delicate, gentle, shy, subtle curves of beauty. The so-called "beautiful strength" is revealed at this time. The "Double Trembling Steps" of the "Double Flowers" are also unique. "Double trembling step" center of gravity movement is the upper arc, its rhythm is more average, shift the center of gravity after kicking the time value is basically equal, coupled with the music more with a small fast board, it gives people relaxed and happy, joyful and upward feeling. The "Dunbu" in "Tanghua" is a typical pace of shifting the center of gravity quickly, because the process of shifting the center of gravity is very fast, which inadvertently makes the whole tone go to the atmosphere of enthusiasm and fire, reflecting the "strong vigor" and "strong power" in the style of Northeast Rice-planting Songs. This embodies the "strong vigor" and "spicy vigor" of the Northeast Yangge style. The training point of Northeast Yangge is the coordination of the chain reaction from the bottom up. The three main components of this chain reaction are the pace of the feet, the rhythm of the body, and the handkerchiefs on the hands. The inability to coordinate the movement of the hands and feet is a common problem of the general public, and this is precisely the most basic requirement for mastering the style of movement. Facing a beginner, in order to make him coordinate his movement, it is necessary to analyze the relationship between these three clearly. In particular, it is important to point out the similarities between the three, in order to facilitate memorization and enable the scholar to get the hang of coordinated movement more quickly. The movement of the three are "point" and "line", in the rhythm and hand towel flowers in the existence of "fast inhalation, stop breathing, into a long sigh" three processes, in the winding flower, flower winding as if In the winding of flowers, the winding of flowers is like a quick inhalation, the moment just after the winding is the moment of stopping breathing, and the arc from the wrist to the other winding of flowers is the time of turning into a long sigh, and the rhythm of movement also has the relationship between "point" and "line". Rhythm is like a pendulum, to the end of the arc, "point to the end", immediately back to the action process (i.e., "line") to go, kicking, rhythm, around the flower is carried out in parallel, rhythm and around the flower of the "point "synchronized with the center of gravity of the kicking step, so that the three are coordinated.
"Kick step" is "stable", "burgundy", because of its speed, if there is no "steady fall", "slow", "slow", "slow", "slow", "slow", "slow", "slow", "slow", "slow" and "slow", "slow". Without the "steady fall" and "slow movement" to buffer the contrast, I am afraid that this feature is not particularly prominent. As the classical dance says, "want left first right, want up and down", in the Northeast Yangge, it becomes "want fast first slow", or "want to rush and lose stability". Therefore, the "burgundy" of the "kicking step" and the movement of the center of gravity is extraordinarily "stable".
In general, the dance is not easy to master the slow board. "Wave" in the northeast rice-planting song of the slow plate occupies an important position, to dance a good slow plate must first "wave up". At this time, it is necessary to start from the process of articulation of movement and action, only the process of movement can be done well in order to dance a good slow movement, with a delicate process of movement, it is not easy to grab the phenomenon of the beat. The center of gravity of Northeast Yangge is an indispensable process, which is the foundation of "Wave Up". It plays a role in mastering the beat and filling up the music, and the speed and amplitude of the movement from the front to the feet are all controlled by it. The slower and more delicate the process of moving the center of gravity, the longer the route, the greater the arc, the body of the "wave", the clearer, and at the same time, the overall action appears to be more forceful, tough, cultured, and connotative.
The most enjoyable part of watching folk dance is the flavor embedded in its movements, which includes a very strong `regional characteristics. When dancing very skillfully, the style and flavor are unconsciously revealed, which is a very clever and natural flow. But before that, it is necessary to put some effort to figure out the subtleties, only to master the subtleties, the dance presented will not flow in general, will not become a string of worthless "action". In the same way, if you want to master the style characteristics of the Northeast Rice-planting Song, you have to grasp its subtleties. This is the movement of the center of gravity under the feet. In my opinion, solving the "kicking step" and the movement of the center of gravity is the best way to master the dynamic style of the Northeast Yangge.
1, the northeast rice-planting dance style research
Northeast rice-planting song is a folk song and dance form loved by the people of the Northeast, rumored to be in the thirty years of the Kangxi period, the present-day Ning'an County, Heilongjiang Province, recorded in the "night of the New Year's Eve, the good thing is always dressed up in rice-planting song" and "the person who is, the good thing is always dressed up in rice-planting song" and "the person who is, the good thing is always dressed up in rice-planting song".
The Northeast rice-planting song is a witty form and unique style, the vast black soil gives it a pure and bold spirit and style, and integrates spiciness, humor, wit, softness, and stability in one, which makes the people of the Northeast enthusiastic and simple, and the character traits of the flexible and strong are spilled out to the fullest extent. Steady in the wave, wave in the terrier, terrier in the warped, stepping on the board, twisting on the waist, is the biggest characteristic of the Northeast Yangge. At the same time, the gorgeous handkerchief flowers and the rhythms of the rice-planting songs themselves make the dance more flavorful and show the characteristics of the Northeast Rice-planting Songs, such as comic, playful, sly, and stable, to the fullest extent. Under the constraints of the original mentality, the main features of the Northeast Yangge are the adjustment of body posture, rhythm, tempo and footwork, and the positive expression of inner emotions.
1.1 Physical Characteristics of Northeast Rice-plant Song
The Northeast Rice-plant Song has certain requirements for the physical posture during the performance, for example, the body must be kept slightly leaning forward, with the lower jaw tucked inward to ensure that every movement is clean and sharp, so as to show the three curves of the women's body and better express the changes in emotions, and every movement should contain abundant emotions. Therefore, the performance of Northeast Rice-planting Song should accurately grasp the characteristics of the psychological activities of women in Northeast China; while men in Northeast China should emphasize "jokes", that is to say, spontaneity and amorousness, and release the masculine spirit of men. In many cases, Northeast rice-planting songs are also called "twisting rice-planting songs", and according to this term, the most important thing in the rice-planting song performance is the twisting of the waist, which fully demonstrates the character traits of the Northeast people's exuberance, joy, warmth and humor through the body posture of "twisting".

1.2 Rhythmic Characteristics of Northeast Yangge
Through the analysis, it is found that the traditional rhythm of Northeast Yangge is 2/4 beat, mixed with a small amount of 1/4 beat and 4/4 beat. And the beat accent is not always present in the first beat of each section, but occasionally appears in the middle or the last part of the bar. This means that the rhythms of the Northeast Yangge are highly varied, especially the use of dotted notes, which makes the performance rhythmically rich. It is more often used in slow or medium-speed music. Influenced by this rhythmic characteristics, the dance movements of Northeast Yangge show the characteristics of "steady footfall, fast footfall", and the melody and rhythm are coordinated, with a very unique flavor.
1.3 Steps of Northeast Yangge
The basic steps of Northeast Yangge include front and back kicking steps, stuttering steps, side kicking steps, trembling steps, jumping kicking steps and so on, and in the process of kicking, the whole body of the performer's knee must be flexible, and the process is very short, which requires small kicking movements, fast speed, concentrated exchanges between the legs and steady body, and keeping the body posture unchanged during the kicking process, that is to say, keeping the body posture unchanged during the kicking. During the kicking process, the body posture should remain unchanged, that is, the upper body should be slightly leaning forward, and the waist and hips should be raised appropriately, so as to truly show the contrast between "the center of gravity shifting slowly", but the foot landing is stable and faster, thus reflecting the "wave in stability" and "wave in comedy" of Northeast Yangge. This series of characteristics is similar to the Northeast Yangge's "wave in stability" and "comic in wave". This series of characteristics are closely related to the Northeast stilt-walking activities, and the contrast between the strong release, static and strong can also show the ups and downs of the psychological activities of the people in the Northeast.
1.4 Dynamics of Northeast Yangge
The dynamics of Northeast Yangge is usually divided into forward and backward dynamics, up and down dynamics, and circular dynamics, which have a close relationship with each other, and each of the two dynamics should be completed through the slow movement of the lower arc of the waist, which will lead to a fast and steady dance posture. It has been summarized that the most basic movements of the Northeast Rice-planting Song are the walking phase, the steady phase and the drum phase. The first is the "walking phase", which refers to the smooth pace, keeping the knees loose and the rear ankle slightly hooked upwards during the walking process. When landing on the ground, the strength is controlled to produce a feeling of strength, while the size of the pace is not constrained; secondly, the "steady phase" refers to static movements, but emphasizes the static but more than that, meaning that the steady phase is not absolute static, but a relative state connecting the front and back movements, emphasizing the continuation and the beginning; thirdly, the "drum phase" refers to the smooth pace. "Drum phase", the main components are continuous drums, call drums, drum phase and turn over, which requires a fine handling of each level, keeping sharp, one-two punch, and layer by layer.
2, Northeast Yangge performance form of innovation
With the development of the times, the people of the traditional Northeast rice-planting songs for the greater innovation and transformation, before and after the biggest difference is the modern rice-planting songs of the movement amplitude is larger. The increase in movement amplitude has largely improved the expressive ability of the dance, especially when it is shown on the stage, the integration of fresh elements has prompted the Northeast Yangge to better show the dancer's heart, and overall enhanced the ornamental and artistic nature. For example, in the process of shifting the center of gravity, increase the original pace of action amplitude, the performer to maintain a stable basis, but also to maximize the amplitude of action, further reflecting the pursuit of freedom and the northeast people's warmth and exuberance.
3. Conclusion
The fundamental rice-planting song is an important part of China's national culture, which contains the aesthetic mentality and artistic interests of the northeastern people, and it is a synthesis of emotions, beliefs and culture. Through the analysis of this paper, the main features of the Northeast Yangge are "teasing" and "funny", and the dancers should fully understand these features before the performance, and feel the life of the people in the Northeast, in order to express the cultural connotations contained in the Northeast Yangge.
