The dance teacher is a very young girl, gentle and shy, with delicate and comfortable facial features. She is a lovely classical beauty.
But when she started dancing, this gentle little woman immediately opened her own aura, which was amazing. Especially the eyes in the dance, or dignified and quiet, or looking around all beings, or intense ... I was shocked! At first, I just thought it was the charm of the teacher. Later, I learned that the eyes of Dunhuang dance are an important part of Dunhuang dance and the beauty of charm.
Professor Gao, the founder of Dunhuang Dance Department, excavated, copied, refined and processed Dunhuang dances from murals. In his book Dunhuang Dance, he wrote: "The eyes of Dunhuang Dance are an important part of Dunhuang Dance. Both gentle and charming, but also dignified and elegant charm; It is vigorous and powerful, and it has the spirit of living wave jumping. They are divided into bottom-looking, top-looking, top-looking, bottom-looking and side-looking. From different angles, it can be divided into bodhisattva-like gentleness and kindness, and lively and cheerful style of lyrics and songs. ? Every look expresses different meanings in different dances, and every dance will be accompanied by specific eyes when expressing specific emotions. "
?
? Here, we have to mention the mural "Six Arms" statue, which is a kind and fragrant Buddha statue with six arms and three different musical instruments in his hand, one with a flute and the other with a pipa and a cymbal, dancing like flying snow.
? And the most prominent is the eyes of the six-armed sweet god:
Eyes squint down, look down, look around all beings, gentle and radiant. The eyes are dignified and elegant, exuding kindness, kindness, beauty, wisdom, solemnity and hope. They spread a little love, a little affection and the warmth of learning, which seems to tell that with a compassionate heart, everything in the world is beautiful.
I liked Dunhuang dance just because it was beautiful and full of oriental classical charm. I didn't expect such a rich culture behind dance. Dance can express and praise the beauty of life, and I like it very much. Although I am nearly middle-aged, my feelings and emotions are more colorful than when I was young. ?
Before the end of a class, we asked the teacher to dance for us again. A song "The Earth follows your heart", with beautiful and agile dance. From the heart, dancing at will, human nature makes it. At the same time, several words popped up in my mind: elegant, charming, subtle and free and easy. Only China classical dance with a history of 5,000 years of civilization has such charm! ?
Because it is the first class, the content is not too much, but I also learned to touch my fingers in class, which is particularly interesting. Waving originated from the Buddhist story "Buddha waved and Ye Jia smiled". Buddha said: a world in a flower and a heaven in a grass. Bergamot, the heart is in the lotus, but the mud is not touched.
Dunhuang dance is an activated Dunhuang mural, which contains a lot of Buddhist culture. I hope I can actively learn Dunhuang culture and interesting Buddhist stories while learning Dunhuang dance.
This is the first composition in class, and I will keep updating it in every class in the future. Write for study, for hobbies and for memory.
