公孙大娘执剑而舞新证

A New Discovery about Aunt Gong-sun Sword Dance

杜甫《观公孙大娘弟子舞剑器行并序》中,公孙大娘是否执剑而舞,杜甫本人并未做出明确提示。后人读其诗大多本能地认为剑器就是剑,然另有学者根据唐以后的史料考证,认为剑器是一种舞曲,公孙大娘剑器行也并非执剑而舞。他们所持观点有:(1)空手而舞;(2)执刀而舞;(3)执彩绸、流星锤而舞。文章在前人研究基础上,又重新挖掘唐时史料,仔细推敲史料的背后含义,并结合武术及舞蹈动作的形态特征证明,公孙大娘剑器舞就是执剑而舞。

In Du Fu＇s poem of Sword Dance of Aunt Gong-sun＇s Apprentice and Preface, did the Aunt Gong-sun dance with the sword？ The author Du Fu did not give a clear indication. Later generations read the poem and most instinctively believe that the sword dance is the sword. However, there are other scholars who think of the sword dance as a kind of dance music, but not a sword based on the historical materials from the Tang Dynasty. Their views are as follows： 1） an empty hand dance; 2） cutter to dance; 3） they dance with their colorful silk and shooting stars. This paper rediscovers the history of Tang Dynasty based on previous research, and deliberates on the meaning behind the material, combined with the morphological characteristics of Gong Fu and dance movements, and believes the Aunt Gong-sun sword dance is a sword dance.
