"Twist":A Preliminary Study on the Origin of Chinese National Dance(Part One)
"Twist,"as the most prominent dynamic feature and rhythmic source in Yangge dance,is a cultural phenomenon in the exploration of the origin of Chinese national dance.From the"twisting and swinging"in northern Shaanxi Yangge to the"stability with waves"in Northeastern ChinaYangge,from the"three-step twist of green flowers"in JiaozhouYangge to the"three waist turns"of Lan Hua in Anhui flower drum lantern dance,the"twist"in Yangge and flower drum lantern dances in different regions displays various ways due to different participationof dynamics.However,the causes of"twist"in Yangge vary:the direct cause of the"twist"in the"Lan Hua"dance is the custom of"foot binding"for women;the"waves"in Northeastern Chi-naYangge greatly exaggerates the"twist"due to the tall stilts used in the dance;the"pulling bones and stretching tendons"in eastern HebeiYangge presents a complex form of"twist",and the"twist"in Shandong drum Yangge"huazi"dance style strengthens the dynamic"twist".In the"visual Gestalt"perspective,the Yangge dance of"twisting around the Bo flower"and"twisting in the square"represents the highest realm of"twistingYangge"and can be regarded,in a sense,as a"dragon dance"without holding dragon-shaped props.Currently,Yangge dance mainly exists in the"dry farming culture"in the northern China regions.Exploring the relationship between"Yangge"and"Ji Shen"outside the"paddy fields"will yield some beneficial insights.
