从乡土中走来的荷花舞——《在延安文艺座谈会上的讲话》与《荷花舞》的发展

Lotus Dance,an Art from Countryside--Speech at the Yan’an Literature and Art Symposium and the Development of Lotus Dance

陇东民间舞蹈《莲花灯》在陕甘宁边区时期由刘志仁创作并改编成《荷花舞》,成为新秧歌运动的代表。而我国著名舞蹈家戴爱莲先生目光如炬,在新中国成立后将《荷花舞》进行新的创造推向国际舞台,受到世界舞坛瞩目!80多年来,《荷花舞》从民间舞蹈演变为二十世纪中国经典舞蹈作品,其中凝结着先辈的聪明才智和辛勤劳动。对荷花舞的传播及其演变进行梳理,发现《荷花舞》是毛泽东《在延安文艺座谈会上的讲话》号召文艺工作者向民间艺术学习的直接产物;正是在《讲话》精神的影响下,《荷花舞》在中国近代舞蹈发展史上写下了浓墨重彩的一页。

The folk dance Lotus Lantern in Longdong was created and adapted by Liu Zhiren in the Shaan-Gan-Ning Border Region,and became the representative of the new Yangge movement.Dai Ailian,a famous dancer in China,was so dazzled that after the founding of New China,he pushed the Lotus Dance to the international stage and attracted the attention of the world.Over the past 80 years,Lotus Dance has evolved from folk dance to a classic Chinese dance work of the 20th century,embodying the wisdom and hard work of its predecessors.After sorting out the spread and evolution of the lotus dance,it was found that Lotus Dance was the direct product of Mao Zedong’s Speech at the Yan’an Literature and Art Symposium,which called on literary and artistic workers to learn from Folk art.It is under the influence of the spirit of“The Speech”that Lotus Dance has written a rich and colorful page in the history of modern Chinese dance development.
