The Explanation of "Peach Premature"
"Peach Premature" belongs to the classical dances of Han and Tang dynasties, which expresses the mood of a girl waiting to be married. The image portrayed in the poem is very vivid. Take the bright peach blossom, a metaphor for the beauty of the young girl, after seeing such a dance can not help but not in front of the eyes will not emerge like a peach blossom as bright, like a small peach tree full of youthfulness of the image of the young girl. First to peach rise, followed by flowers, fruits, leaves, both as a metaphor, extremely hierarchical: from flowers to fruit, and then by the fruit fall to the leaves in full bloom; the metaphorical poetic also gradually change, and the growth of peach blossoms to adapt to the natural mingled, integrated.
As shown in the poem "The Peach Blossom", the peach blossom is a beautiful and colorful flower. The whole work completely shows the shyness of the woman to be married and the beautiful hope for the future. The poem is divided into three chapters. The first chapter uses the brightly colored peach blossom as a metaphor for the bride's youthfulness. It is often said that the first person who compares beauty with flowers is a genius, the second one is a mediocrity, and the third one is a fool. The Book of Songs is the first collection of poems in China, so it is not too much to say that here is the first flower to compare the beauty of people. Since then, the use of flowers, especially with peach blossoms to compare the beauty of endless, such as Wei Ruan Ji "Wing Huai Poetry" of thirteen:? The peach and plum blossoms in the sky are burning with radiance. Tang Cui Gu's "Du Cheng Nan Zhuang":? Last year, today, in this door, the peach blossoms of the human face reflected each other. Song Chen Shidao's "Bodhisattva Barbarian":? The peach blossom face is in full bloom. All of them have their own characteristics, naturally, can not be reduced to mediocrity, stupidity, but they are all influenced by the poem of the Book of Songs, only that the influence has a big and small, the use of ingenuity. What is written here is the fresh peach blossoms, blooming stamens, and the new bride who has been dressed up is now both excited and shy, her cheeks flushed, which really has the flavor of peach blossoms with a human face, reflecting the two sides of each other. In the poem, both the scenery and the people are written, and the scene is blended together, creating a joyful and warm atmosphere. This kind of scene, even today we can still see in the rural wedding. The second chapter expresses wishes for the marriage. When the peach blossom blooms, it naturally bears fruit. The poet says that its fruits are fat and big, which symbolizes that the bride will give birth early and raise a white and fat doll. The third chapter wishes for the prosperity of the bride's family with the lushness of the peach leaves. Peach tree branches of the fruit and peach tree branches and leaves of the dense shade, to symbolize the bride's post-wedding life of happiness, is really the most beautiful metaphor, the best ode! Zhu Xi's "Poetry Collection Biography" believes that each chapter is used? Xing? The poem is a good example of the use of the word "Xing", which is certainly reasonable, but when you play the poem carefully, it is really Xing in the ratio, than the use of both Xing. The whole poem three chapters, each chapter of the first peach Xing, followed by flowers, fruits, leaves, both as a metaphor, extremely hierarchical: from flowers to fruit, and then by the fruit fall to the leaves in full bloom; the metaphorical poetic also gradually change, and the growth of peach blossoms to adapt to the natural mingled into a single entity.
With the dreamy Han and Tang Dynasty classical dance "Peach Premature", from "Shijing □ Zhou Nan □ Peach Premature", the whole dance is full of youthfulness, and the dancers' delicate posture shapes the image of a young girl like a small peach tree for the audience. The girls jumped lightly, like the elves of peaches, and the whole dance was filled with a joyful and happy atmosphere. Taken from the "Poetry", the dance song "Peach Premature" in which the face of the maiden to be married is as colorful as peach and plum makes the audience feel as if they were in the peach forest in full bloom in April, and the young girls are playing around, and their laughter is accompanied by the fragrance of peach blossom, and the dance full of vigor and vitality is just like peach blossom on the branch blossomed in this beautiful world.
Pink silk and white dress and pink ` makeup, to be married to the girl's shy eyes, cover the face of the flow of the shyness of the daughter? By the dancers with perfect dance posture one by one interpretation, accompanied by the tune of the clouds and flowing water like simple and elegant, followed by the fast board but the performance of the girls unique mischievous and lively, bright eyes, flushed girls shy face with the body of the peach-colored silk dress, the viewers are not attracted by the peach tree elves.
The dancers waved the peach-colored transparent sleeves, pink veil fluttering, in a piece of peach flower petals are hidden in the maidens for a better and happier life of longing and hope:? The peach blossom is a beautiful flower, and its splendor burns brightly. The son of a peach blossom is a good choice for a family. Peaches are very luxurious. The son of a peach is a good choice for a family. The peach's leaves are abundant. The son of a peach blossom is a good choice for his family. The young girl who is as beautiful as a peach blossom has the most beautiful imagination for a better life in the future.
As the head of the Foreign Languages and Recreation Department, I chose "The Peach Premature" as the performance program to meet the 50th anniversary of the college. In the process of rehearsal I, as the person in charge of this dance, have a deeper understanding of "Peach Premature".
As the iconic movements of Han and Tang classical dance? Throwing the sleeve and bowing the head and folding the waist in the "Peach Premature" appeared frequently, in the dancers bowing the head and folding the waist of the action, the girls knit their brows and smiles were portrayed, and let people feel that belongs to the girl's kind of charming, like the April bloom of peach blossoms in the dance, let a person smell the breath of spring.
? The head and waist folding? This movement is expressed in the art of dancing with sleeves, folding the waist as the theme of the dance, focusing on the waist and sleeve changes, to show the charm of the dance with a soft waist. At any time there is a fast-paced technique to perform a high momentum, but the tone is soft, light and long, bright colors, and rarely depressed, decadent mood. The Han Dynasty dances represented by Taoyao and Taige have the above stylistic characteristics, which on the one hand reflect the upward trend of the Han Dynasty, and on the other hand show the appreciation of the main audience of this kind of dances, including the royalty, the literati, and the aesthetic requirements.
In the production of costumes, we used the original costume as a template, and spent 1300 yuan to make the clothes, which can be said to be almost the same as those in the original version of the clothes, one hand is a water sleeve, one hand is a handkerchief, but rehearsal dance, the water sleeve and the handkerchief is not easy to throw up, but in fact, also requires the dancers to arm strength and skills. And this dance rehearsal up to the formation and the front and back of the spacing of the control requirements are very high, a little carelessness will appear off-stage and stand in the wrong position phenomenon. And in terms of personal skills are also very demanding, especially for the main dance is very high, whether it is on the body, or flexibility and personal skills have high requirements.
In terms of music, the accompaniment and melody are full of characteristics of the Tang Dynasty period. It is very much characterized by the court of the Han and Tang dynasties.
