唐满城的中国古典舞“身韵”学说

The “Body Rhyme” Theory of Chinese Classical Dance by Tang Mancheng

“身韵”作为当代中国舞蹈发展史上的一个重要里程碑,使中国古典舞成为真正意义上的独立舞蹈形式。唐满城(1932—2004年)作为当代艺术大家,是中国古典舞的创建者之一。他为建立中国民族舞蹈艺术体系不懈追寻,尤其是他对“身韵”学说的艺术创见,在继承戏曲舞蹈的内在韵律感和手段多样性上有新的突破,对后学具有重要的引领和示范作用。“身韵”元素教学法的独特训练方式特别注重“形、神、劲、律”。“身韵”不是古代舞蹈的蛰伏复苏,而是古典舞传统的现代重塑,它提炼了精髓,把握了实质,贴近和表现觉醒的民族精神,为当代的中国古典舞开拓了一条宏阔的贯通之路。

As an important milestone in the history of contemporary Chinese dance,“body rhyme”(shen yun) has made Chinese classical dance a truly independent form.Tang Mancheng(1932—2004),as a master of contemporary art,is one of the founders of Chinese classical dance.He made unremitting efforts to establish the art system of Chinese national dance,especially his creation of the “body rhyme” theory.He made a breakthrough in inheriting the internal sense of rhythm and the diversity of means of traditional Chinese opera,which plays an important leading role for the following researchers.The unique training method of “body rhyme” pays attention to “shape,spirit,strength and principle”.“Body rhyme” is not a dormant recovery of ancient dance,but a modern reconstruction of classical dance as it refines and grasps the essence,understands and expresses the awakening national spirit,and opens up a broad way of contemporary Chinese classical dance.
