20世纪初日本与中国现代舞启蒙发展的历史线索及比较

History and Comparisons of the Development of Modern Dance in the Early 20^(th) Century Japan and China

本文将1942年太平洋战争全面爆发作为20世纪上半叶日本和中国现代舞启蒙结束的标志节点,回顾了20世纪初中日两国现代舞的发展历程,在此基础上对中日两国现代舞启蒙历程的差异和共性进行了分析。尽管中日两国在现代舞的启蒙道路上最终分道扬镳,但在世界历史的大背景下,中日两国现代舞的发展脉络并未偏离西学东渐的普遍规律——即文化融合的结果必然要符合时代背景下国家和社会的现实需求。

This article reviews the development of modern dance in Japan and China in the early 20th century and analyses the differences and similarities in terms of art enlightenment. While Japan and China eventually took separate paths in the later progress, in the context of world history, the development of modern dance in the two nations complied with the universal rule of Introduction of Western Learning to the East, that is any cultural assimilation should address the contemporary needs of the state and society.
