History Of The Sword Dance

With a history of thousands of years,all kinds of culture and art are brilliant.Sword and dance,as the manifestation of the traditional art of the Chinese nation,have been said to be "the same origin of martial arts and dance" since ancient times.With the development of society and the progress of the times,martial arts routines and music and dance art are gradually merging.Sword,known as the "King of Hundred Soldiers",is mainly used for self-defense and is also a symbol of status.Swordsmanship pursues the charm and momentum of stability such as wind,momentum such as lightning,combination of movement and static,and combination of virtuality and reality.When the sword is dancing,it can not only express the dancer’s emotion,but also promote the development of the plot.Moreover,compared with the soft beauty of dancing silk and barehanded dancing,the sword dancing seems to reflect the vigorous and vigorous dancing posture of the performer.In recent years,the academic research on the art of "sword dance" seems to be incomplete.Especially,there are few articles on the changes of name and form of "sword dance" from ancient times to now,and there is no clear explanation of the historical relationship and similarities and differences between sword,sword art and sword dance.Therefore,the author will examine the history of "sword dance" from the origin and development of sword dance in the pre-Qin period,the development of sword dance in the Qin and Han dynasties to the Wei,Jin and Northern and Southern Dynasties,the prosperity of sword dance in the Sui and Tang dynasties,and the artistic transformation of sword dance from the Song and Yuan dynasties to the Ming and Qing dynasties,from the three aspects of the origin and development of sword,the emergence and maturity of sword art,and the germination and transformation of sword dance,and analyze its development in each historical period in depth to supplement the lack of historical records,It is expected to correct the confusion and even integration of "sword dance" and "sword dance" in academia and society,and further promote the innovation and development of Chinese classical sword dance.
