Chapter 102 The most beautiful dance in the world

Li Yu was very surprised by the first program that opened.

The first opening dance turned out to be "Prince Lanling Enters the Battle Song"!
This is an ancient and very difficult dance.

On the stage, a very vigorous and powerful male voice introduced the history and origin of the dance, saying: "The Turks entered Jinyang, and Chang Gong tried his best to attack them. In the battle of Mangshan, Chang Gong served as the central army and led [-] cavalry before entering Zhou Dynasty. The army then arrived at the foot of Jinyong, and was surrounded in a hurry. The people in the city were unrecognizable, and Chang respectfully exempted him from showing his face. He rescued him with his crossbowmen, and he won a great victory. The warriors sang a ballad together, and it was the song for King Lanling to enter the battle. also.

"The Song of King Lanling Entering the Battle" is a comprehensive performance dance music that praises Gao Su's bravery and prowess in battle. It was produced in the third year of Heqing Dynasty.Luoyang, an important town in the Northern Qi Dynasty, was besieged by a hundred thousand troops of the Northern Zhou Dynasty. Emperor Wucheng of Qi urgently ordered all armies to break the siege of Luoyang. After the three armies broke through the first line of defense of the Zhou army to siege the city, Gao Su personally led [-] elite cavalry to take advantage of the victory. He broke into the siege of the Zhou army and reached the gate of Jin Yong City.

With the troops defending the city together, the morale of the army was greatly boosted. They attacked from both inside and outside, defeated the Zhou army, and finally solved the siege of Luoyang.In order to praise King Lanling, the soldiers collectively composed "The Song of King Lanling Entering the Battle", accompanied by chants and simple drama performances. The style is solemn, solemn, simple and melodious. It belongs to military martial music and is one of the representative works of medieval literature and art.Later it was introduced to the people and spread widely. "

Li Yu almost applauded the male voice for being able to memorize such an unfamiliar piece of history so clearly.

However, Li Yu did not forget his original purpose of coming here.

He didn't come here to enjoy the singing and dancing, let alone to listen to someone's explanation of the historical allusions to "The Song of King Lanling Entering the Battle", but to give Xu Qiao a surprise.

Li Yu quickly found Xu Qiao.

In this dance, Xu Qiao still occupies the C position, acting as the handsome and powerful King of Lanling.

The historical Lanling King was a tragic figure. His name was Gao Su, and his style name was Chang Gong, also known as Gao Changgong and Gao Xiaoguan.In his short life, he was loyal to everything and treated his subordinates with peace, and made many military exploits, which was known by the people of the time.Because of his bravery and outstanding military exploits, he was successively granted the titles of Xuzhou Lanling County King, General, Grand Sima, and Shang Shuling.Because of his handsome appearance, in order to frighten the enemy before the battle, he made a fierce mask and wore it, making him invincible.Because of his outstanding military exploits and growing prestige, his cousin Gao Wei, after succeeding to the throne, was jealous of his majestic achievements and popularity, and feared that the throne would be taken away. In 573 AD, the emperor ordered him to commit suicide and was buried in "Northwest Ye" in 574. 15 miles”. In 575, Gao Yanzong, the fifth younger brother of Gaosu, erected a tombstone for him, which is the current Northern Qi Lanling King Stele.

Therefore, although "Lanling King Enters the Battle" is a very hard dance, it should not be too hard and lose other charms.

Xu Qiao's performance was just right, perfectly showing the bravery and unwillingness of King Lanling. It can be said that she is the best dancer among all the members of the girl group.

It is enough to see that Xu Qiao has done enough basic skills on weekdays.

Li Yu was very satisfied, and Xu Qiao danced very seriously.

Xu Qiao didn't notice at all that Li Yu was looking at her behind the screen.

And Li Yu suddenly discovered something was wrong, that is, several members of the female team who played the enemies of King Lanling seemed to be deliberately stumbling upon King Lanling.

As the saying goes, if a tree is beautiful in the forest, the wind will destroy it.

Li Yu realized that it must be because Xu Qiao was so good that she aroused the jealousy of other girl group members and was stumbling upon various tricks.

Xu Qiao was also very helpless about this.

She clearly only wanted to do her part well, but she never thought that even so, she would still become a thorn in the side of other girl group members.

But she also understands that after all, she has no power and power, and her cultivation base is very low. It is too embarrassing to be among these girl group members.

But Xu Qiao was not discouraged. Faced with the stumbling blocks of other girl group members, she was still flexible, and with her solid basic skills, she overcame various crises time and time again.Finally, the whole dance was finished perfectly without any risk.

The moment the dance ended, deafening applause erupted in the entire hall, as if a newly formed fan group was shouting Xu Qiao's name.

Xu Qiao was a little excited.How much she wanted Li Yu to be able to watch her performance live.

In the end, Li Yu was really watching her performance on the spot, but she just hid behind the screen temporarily so that Xu Qiao didn't notice it.

After the group dance was over, Li Yu breathed a sigh of relief for Xu Qiao.

Although, Li Yu really wanted to fight the case and directly push the members of the girl group who made trouble.

But, this is a live broadcast after all, so you can’t just follow any rules.

Li Yu endured her temper and waited for Xu Qiao's next dance.

The group performance is followed by a one-man show.

To be honest, although Xia Yuhe chose the "antique charm" as the main theme for tonight, these girl group members obviously did not understand what ancient charm was, and they just barely gave a general idea, without even a hint of charm.

Some members of the girl group found another way, and simply let themselves go and danced "Majestic" and "Pure Land of Paradise"... Li Yu saw the corners of his eyes twitching, wishing he could just throw them all down.

Li Yu can be regarded as a person who has read poetry and books, and still respects ancient culture. Coupled with the long-standing influence of the little fairy Qiutong, Li Yu has a really low tolerance for this kind of spoof performance.

Finally, after those inexplicable girls finished dancing, it was Qiutong's turn to perform.

The moment the music started playing, Li Yu immediately felt refreshed!
The dance Xu Qiao chose was neither coquettish nor contrived, and it perfectly fit the theme of "ancient charm"!

The dance that Xu Qiao danced was called "Jinghong Dance"!
Regarding the description of "Jinghong Dance", Li Qunyu, a poet of the Tang Dynasty, wrote in "Changsha Nine Days on the East Tower to Watch the Dance":
There are beauties in the southern country, dancing with a light green waist.Huayan nine autumn evening, flying sleeves blowing clouds and rain.Light as blue and green, graceful as a dragon.Yueyan stopped at Qianxi, and Wu Ji stopped at Baifu.The slow state cannot be poor, and the complex posture will lead to the end.The low back lotus breaks the waves, and the messy snow lingers in the wind.When falling into Er, it flows, and the train wants to go back to the sky.Unable to catch Weichou, she flew to chase Jinghong.

That's right!Jinghong Dance is a classical dance of the Tang Dynasty!

According to research in Wang Kefen's article "Mei Fei and the Jinghong Dance", "Jinghong Dance" may depict the movements and postures of flying geese. This kind of dance that simulates birds has a profound tradition in our country.
According to legend, the "phoenix coming ceremony" in the "phoenix coming ceremony, and the beasts leading the dance" during the primitive society should be a dance in which people imitate the movements of birds; the bronzes of the Warring States Period have images of people dancing in the shape of birds;
There are records of people dancing as sparrows in hundreds of operas of the Han Dynasty; there are also scenes of people dancing in the shape of birds in Han stone portraits. Most of these dances were performed with bulky bird-shaped costumes and props, which was very inconvenient to dance.Mei Fei's "Jinghong Dance" may focus on using freehand techniques to express the graceful image of swans soaring in the sky through dance movements.

Li Yu believed that although Jinghong Dance was difficult, it would definitely not be difficult for Xu Qiao!
