论中国中古宴乐舞蹈的形式新变与文化动因

中国自进入中古时期以后,源自印度、西域,以及北方游牧民族的异质文化进入中原汉族地区,不仅为中国宴乐舞蹈带来了新形式,也重新塑造了其审美形态。相较于前一时期,中古时期新出现的宴乐舞蹈表现出三大特点:一是舞蹈空间收缩,二是舞蹈动作“符号化”,三是舞蹈内容具体化。这三大特点共同促成了中国自汉代以来偏技艺展示的舞蹈逐渐向后世偏叙事的戏曲舞蹈的转变,这同时也对观众的审美趣味产生了影响。

Since China entered medieval times,the heterogeneous cultures from India,the western regions and the northern nomads entered the Han areas of the Central Plains,which not only brought new forms to Chinese banqueting dance,but also reshaped its aesthetic form.Compared with the previous period,the banquet dance in the medieval times have three major characteristics:first,the space of dance shrinks;second,the dance movement is symbolized;third,the content of dance is concrete.These three characteristics together contributed to the transformation of the Chinese dance with partial skill display from the Han Dynasty to the later Opera Dance with narrative display,which also had an impact on the aesthetic taste of the audience.
