Lantern Dance

Lantern dance is a Chinese folk dance with a long history. It has been performed mainly on Lantern Festival for at least 1,000 years. Lantern dance originated from Lantern Festival and its production technology has developed to a certain level. The dance form of lanterns as props has various names because of the different shapes of lanterns. Its performance is well known in the south. Lantern dance has been popular in Ming and Qing dynasties. It is mainly recorded in the literature of Qing dynasty. In night performances, colored lights illuminate the lights and people are interesting, or form different formations and patterns through colored lights, or put the words "auspicious" and "peace in the world", or express various artistic conceptions in changes and interspersions.

In June 2008, the lantern dances jointly declared by Putian, Fujian, Ji'an, Jiangxi, Shenzhen, Anhui, Dongzhi and Boai County of Henan Province (Qingtian Fish Lantern Dance, Putian Kowloon Carp Lantern Dance, Carp Lantern Dance, Shatoujiao Fish Lantern Dance, Dongzhi Flower Lantern Dance and Sujia Dragon and Phoenix Lantern Dance) were listed in the second batch of national intangible cultural heritage list with the approval of the State Council.

historical origin

In the performance, the lights are invisible, the patterns are moving and static, and the changes of different levels are mysterious, mysterious and fascinating. The dancing lamps are mostly group dancing, and the shapes of the lamps are animals, flowers and symbols of auspiciousness. In the performance, dancers can dance with one lamp or even more people, which can be divided into many forms, such as holding, lifting and dancing with lamps. Dragon lanterns and carp lanterns are lantern dances. The dragon lantern, also known as the fire dragon, can burn candles in each section and one person raises pearls to make fun of it. Its performances include "playing pearls", "piercing waves", "golden dragon and jade pillar" and so on. During the process, the masses lit more fireworks and firecrackers to boost their spirits, and the atmosphere was warm.

By the Qing Dynasty, lantern dancing had developed to a higher level, and had certain performance programs and titles. Records in the Eaves Exposed Miscellaneous Records show that during the Qianlong Lantern Festival, there were 3000 lantern dancers in Xichang, Beijing. The dancers sang "Taiping Song" and danced in a circle, changing their formations, forming the characters of Taiping, Ping, Wanwan and Niao in turn. Today's Music Textual Research records that when the emperor visited the Lantern festival, there were 3000 people. There are thirty-six sets of performance routines for Shideng Dance, such as Taiji Mixed Yuan, Sixiangsheng Bafeng, Jinka characters and so on. Those with auspicious meanings are: heavy joy, five colors of auspicious clouds, money everywhere, etc. The poems are named as: walking Jinlian, Peacock Flying south, fire dragon playing sea and so on. Those related to the ancient battlefield are: Mandarin Ducks, Shaoqi Camp, etc. This dance is performed by twelve people, each holding two flower lanterns, side. Dancing while singing "Happy Moving Mandarin Duck" and "Joy on Earth". Such a wonderful performance is naturally the ingenuity of a learned expert.

Confucius Shangren, the author of Peach Blossom Fan, also has a description of Lantern dancing. In his poem Dancing Lantern, he describes 12 women's wonderful and moving performances. In the poem, there are such famous sentences as "Twelve Golden Barium 24 lamps", "One thousand turns difficult to remember", "Not an old courtyard score, every dance is easy", "Seeing Qincheng changing into Han Palace, instantly disintegrating into a flat ground". Finally, Zhang Xu is quoted. Looking at the allusions of Gong Sun Da-niang's development in cursive script after her sword-dancing, we admire that the artistic effect of lantern dancing surpasses that of sword-dancing, and conclude the poem with "Calligraphy Enlightenment in Gong Sun-nian, let alone Dancing Lantern Wins Sword Dancing". The level of lantern dancing performed by 12 women is beyond doubt. The lantern dancing played a role of propaganda revolution during the Anti-Japanese War. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, lotus lanterns originating from the people came onto the stage and were adapted into Lotus Dance, which has a very high artistic sublimation in props, costumes and performing artistic conception. It expresses the Chinese people's love for peace and has become a well-known excellent dance program at home and abroad. In 953, the World Youth Festival won a silver medal.
