Dunhuang Dance inherits the traditional aesthetic principles of China, absorbs and draws lessons from the dances of various nationalities in the western regions, and combines the rhythm and rhythm of classical dance to form a relatively complete dance movement and modeling system. Dunhuang dance has its uniqueness, and image is also an important aesthetic feature of music art and dance art, but music image and dance image have their own characteristics.
The shaping of dance image depends entirely on the actors' body movements, and the performance in dance is the basis of the image. In dance dramas or dance works that mainly describe characters, dance images mainly refer to the characters shaped by dance movements, gestures, expressions and modeling.
Dance style
As a brand-new dance style, Dunhuang dance was born in 1979 large-scale national dance drama Rain on Silk Road, which made the dance in Dunhuang murals vividly presented to the audience and attracted worldwide attention. Dunhuang dance has strong cultural characteristics of Silk Road, and its content is based on the mural materials of Mogao Grottoes.
It reproduces the dances, costumes and music of all ethnic groups on the Silk Road. Its direct source is a large number of ancient dance postures on the murals of Dunhuang Mogao Grottoes. It is a new dance created by contemporary dance artists on the basis of studying the dance posture of ancient Dunhuang murals and the inspiration of Dunhuang music and dance murals.
