Naming of"Elegant Dance"and Ancient Concept of Rites and Music
Guo Maoqian regarded"elegant dance"as a combination of the Wen dance and Wu dance performed in suburban temples and court banquets.However,the"elegant dance"recorded in the pre-Tang literature was not so clear,but rather a general term,since the concept of rites and music that integrates poetry,music,and dance has long been a cultural convention and ignored by researchers.Meanwhile,influenced by the popularity of folk music and dance,the authorities were committed to refining folk music and dance.In fact,"elegant dance"cannot be separated from"elegant music".The construction of the ancient ritual and music system promoted the maturity of the elegant music concept,and also accelerated the separation of"elegant dance"from the system of"elegant music".Scholars have improved the Wen dance and Wu dance system of"elegant dance"since the Song and Yuan Dynasties,analyzed the occurrence time and movement norm of"elegant dance",and raised the literary status of elegant music and dance.The evolution of the name"elegant dance"in historical documents possesses multiple meanings in terms of ritual and music concepts,historical dance documents and so on.
