The Korean folk dance is characterized by beautiful, delicate, soft and long rhythm, and the dance steps which are quiet in movement and soft in strength are just like the light and elegant white crane. Among the famous folk dances are the "Nongle Dance" which celebrates the harvest, the "Long Encouragement Dance" which carries a long drum and represents the essence of Korean folk dance art, and the "Monk Dance" which represents the essence of Korean folk dance art. In addition, folk dances such as the Mask Dance, the Sword Dance, the Water Dance, the Fan Dance, the Crane Dance, and the Jima Dance have also been popularized. Korean dance is beautiful and elegant, its dance posture or soft and elegant, such as cranes spreading their wings, such as willow branches brushing the water; or just strong rock, lively and elegant, reflecting the bright and exciting and delicate euphemism, subtle and deep national character.
Because the Korean people have always been subjected to the Han's Confucianism "mediocrity" thought serious, "etiquette" which subconsciously embodies the Korean dance with elegant style, subtle and other characteristics. The relationship of "symmetry" is even more important in Korean dance. First of all, from the point of view of movement, Korean dance movements are mostly circular. The arms are round, the body is round, and the routes are also round, so both the static shape and the dynamic trajectory reflect this perfect symmetry. For example, the typical movement of the Korean dance is the "round hand". It is a circular movement driven by the small arm through the wrist to the fingertips. Another example is the "Turning and Carrying Hands": when the hands alternately carry the top hand, the two hands move in a symmetrical way, one hand tops up and then falls down, the other hand draws up and upward, the top hand oils the palm upward to the palm downward, and the hand that draws up is the palm downward to the palm upward, and finally falls down in the horizontal open hand position, which has already been changed to the state of mutual balance of one yin and one yang. The last time you land on the horizontal open hand position, you have changed into a state of mutual balance between yin and yang.
Secondly, from the point of view of dance form, Korean dance is characterized by the form of circumference, lemon, containment, curvature, and roundness, with the main part of the movement in the upper limbs, and the basic form of the upper limbs is mainly reflected in the arms and the hand position. However, whether it is the folded arm line or various hand positions, they all have the above mentioned "symmetrical" relationship. In the dance, it is a kind of neat, calm, steady and harmonious beauty.
Thirdly, the Korean dance also reflects the "symmetrical" relationship in the form of performance, especially in the use of breath. The use of breath is a very important part of the Korean dance performance, it is the fusion of rhythm and grace, inner beauty and beauty of dance, all through the unique rhythmic situation, through the breathing method and the use of breath to achieve. Each rhythm has its own specific drum beat and drumming method, as well as dance movements corresponding to its characteristics, and the dancers' breathing must be in line with the rhythm.
