从舞蹈的视角看延安新秧歌运动的文艺精神与当代价值

Artistic Spirit and Contemporary Value of Yan’an New Yangko Movement from the Perspective of Dance

延安文艺座谈会产生了极其深远的影响,然而学界对于延安文艺时期舞蹈艺术的深入研究和显性研究还不够,还未全面准确地反映舞蹈艺术的历史地位与作用。延安文艺座谈会召开后以新秧歌运动为代表的民间歌舞成为最及时、最显性的艺术样式,不仅呈现出文艺的新面貌新气象,更加反映出歌舞在延安文艺时期的独特价值与内涵。虽然延安新秧歌运动孕育产生于特定的历史时空,不可复制,但我们需要从更纵深的时空来审视其长远的文艺精神与当代价值。首先,延安新秧歌运动确立了当代中国民族民间舞蹈发展的新主体、新路径和新内涵。其次,延安新秧歌运动在“新”与“旧”的表达与转换中建立了与时代、与传统紧密联系的价值追求。最后,延安新秧歌运动体现出舞蹈艺术视觉传播和身体传播的独特价值与影响。以“新秧歌运动”为代表的民族民间舞蹈在那个特定时空所表现出的极大的适应性与流传性,很值得我们去思考今天民族民间舞蹈在都市中的发展与传播。我们回顾延安文艺时期的现象与精神,不是为了回到延安,而是需要从延安再出发,进行更多的思考和更多的探索来促进新时代文艺的发展。

The Yan’an Literature and Art Symposium has had a profound impact,however,the in-depth and explicit research on dance art in the Yan’an period is not enough,and it has not fully and accurately reflected the historical status and role of dance.After the Yan’an Literature and Art Symposium,folk song and dance represented by the New Yangko Movement became the most timely and dominant artistic style,which not only presented the new outlook of literature and art,but also reflected the unique value and connotation of song and dance in the Yan’an period.Although the New Yangko Movement in Yan’an was conceived in a specific historical time and space and cannot be replicated,we need to examine its long-term artistic spirit and contemporary value from a broader time and space.First,the New Yangko Movement established the new subject,new path and new implication for contemporary Chinese folk dance.Second,New Yangko Movement has established a value pursuit closely related to the times and tradition in the expression and transformation of “new” and “old”.Finally,New Yangko Movement reflects the unique value and influence of dance’s visual and physical communication.The ethnic and folk dances represented by the New Yangko Movement show great adaptability and popularity in that specific time and space,which is worth us thinking about the development and communication of ethnic and folk dance in the urban city.To review the phenomenon and spirit of Yan’an literature and art period,is not to return to Yan’an,but to start from Yan’an and to explore and promote the development of literature and art in the new era.
