论剑舞在中国古典舞学科中的价值

The Aesthetic Value of Chinese Classic Sword Dance

回溯中国古代素有"无舞不授器"的风尚,也就是说舞蹈时要有舞具相伴,在东方人看来一切道具,都是传情达意的工具,不是无关宏旨、装饰点缀之物,这与西方舞蹈有着很大差异。因此,剑舞应是中国传统文化的钩沉、智慧创造的结晶,也成为中国古典舞的显著特征。我们走民族化的道路、保持民族自身的特色,就要利用革新传统的艺术样式,赋予新的生命,在此基础上进行发展创新。把中国古典舞剑舞作为身韵的继续与深化,通过挖掘整理可以进一步强化身韵徒手的训练成果,并达到"以身带器、以器练身"的教学目的。剑舞的开发是继身韵诞生之后,北京舞蹈学院中国古典舞学科又一项重要的研究课题。

There is a tradition of ＂No instrument, no dance＂ in ancient china which means that dancing usually is companied by an object. This oriental tradition of dancing endows the objects with significances, meanings and emotions, contrary to the western tradition. Sword dance has been constructed in its long history and has been a distinctive character of Chinese classic dance. It would be another important part for the development of Chinese classic dance and this discipline. It is believed that sword dance is another important research topic after the concept of body rhythm in the field of Chinese classic dance.
