Northeast Yangko is a folk dance that people like very much, and its movements are relatively simple. Let's take a look at the basic rhythm of Northeast Yangko with me. I hope it helps!
The Basic Rhythm of Northeast Yangko Dance
A. heel pressing: heel pressing of different feet. Such as positive step, small step, big eight-character step, lunge and so on. When pressing heels, pat your feet with lift heel in the second half, touch the ground with your forefoot and stand on your knees. In the first half of the racket, put your feet on your heels quickly, and it takes a short time to lift your heels and a relatively long time to land.
B, knee flexion and extension: different characteristics of knee joint movement. When bending and stretching hard, the knee bends and stretches quickly and elastically; The flexion and extension of the knee joint should have an inherent sense of flexibility when it is soft, and the body center of gravity of the music remake is downward; Keep your knees straight when you straighten them to show the characteristics of the action.
C upper body rhythm: the body rhythm of northeast yangko is mainly swinging from side to side and twisting back and forth. Swing the body is to lift the chest and waist alternately on the left and right sides of the body, forming a left-right swing of the upper body. The forward and backward torsion is based on the waist as the axis and the shoulders as the main body, alternately twisting forward and backward on the left and right sides of the body. Twist your shoulders and upper body into a whole, but don't twist your crotch. If the shoulders alternate back and forth, the right shoulder drives the upper and rear arcs to the front, and the left shoulder arcs to the rear.
In daily life, everyone must move his center of gravity. When walking, the center of gravity is constantly moving, that is, sitting or standing, he can move the center of gravity at any time. When the center of the human body moves, so does the center of gravity. On the other hand, when the center of gravity moves, the center will also move, thus maintaining balance. The same is true of dance. Almost all dances are inseparable from the movement of the center of gravity, and the pace in dance is the most typical movement of the center of gravity. In folk dance, all the dance steps, such as the flat step of Korean dance, the rolling step of Jiaozhou, and the wind and willow step of the flower drum lantern, are unique focus movements. In the Northeast Yangko, the most distinctive step that can best reflect the shift of focus is "kicking".
The dynamic style of northeast yangko can be summarized as "keeping calm", and the strength, beauty and fierceness in the dance add a lot of color to this dance. The "wave" of northeast yangko is reflected in the dynamic law of the body; The "root" is manifested in the "sudden and steady" kicking step, which has a particularly strong sense of rhythm. There are three different changes in a single kick, and the moment of kicking is a very fast process of exertion. This process is like breathing in quickly. When landing, it seems to be a sudden breath, but it soon becomes a heavy sigh-like shift of center of gravity. In these three changes, the moment of kicking out embodies the characteristics of "root", "cleverness", "pungent", "cool" and "crisp", and the landing and the movement of the center of gravity fully embodies the dynamic style characteristics of stability, beauty and waves. Thus, kicking shows not only "roots" but also "waves". "Waves" are reminiscent of arcs. The center of gravity movement of northeast yangko is actually a small arc, and the center of gravity movement of forward kick is a downward arc; When doing back kick and side kick, the feeling of center of gravity moving is an upward arc. What connects these arcs is the arc motion of "waves".
From the slow-moving focus of "kicking", "slow-moving" itself gives people a continuous and very coherent visual image, which fully shows the graceful, delicate, gentle, shy and implicit curvaceous beauty of mature Han women. The so-called "beauty" was revealed at this time. The "double quiver step" in Double Flowers has its own characteristics. The movement of the center of gravity of "double quiver step" is an upward arc, its rhythm is relatively uniform, and the time spent kicking after the center of gravity moves is basically the same. In addition, the use of Allegro in music gives people a relaxed and happy feeling. The "sudden step" in "wrapping flowers" is a typical step to move the center of gravity quickly. Because the center of gravity moves very fast, the whole style turns into a passionate atmosphere, which embodies the "vigorous" and "provocative" styles in Northeast Yangko. The training point of northeast yangko is the coordination of chain reaction from bottom to top. The three main links that make up this chain reaction are the steps under your feet, the movements on your body and the towel flowers on your hands. It is a common problem for ordinary people that their hands and feet can't coordinate their movements, which is precisely the most basic requirement for mastering the dynamic rhythm style. Facing a beginner, if you want to coordinate your movements, you must analyze the relationship between the three. In particular, the similarities between the three are pointed out, so as to facilitate memory and enable scholars to master the tricks of coordinating actions faster. The movements of the three are a bit wired. Dynamic method and towel flower have three processes, that is, "inhale quickly, stop breathing and turn into a sigh" In the flower winding, the flower winding is like inhaling quickly, and the moment when it is finished is the moment when it stops breathing. When the arc from the wrist to another flower turns into a sigh, the dynamic law also divides and sums. The law of dynamics is like a pendulum. When it reaches the end of the arc, it will "stop" and immediately return to the action process (that is, "line"). Kicking, moving and winding are carried out in parallel, and the "points" of moving and winding are synchronized with the movement of the center of gravity of kicking, so the three are in harmony.
The reason why "kicking step" appears "stable" and "root" is because of its high speed. If there is no "steady decline" and "slow movement" to buffer the contrast, I am afraid this feature will not be particularly prominent. For example, in classical dance, "first left and then right, then up and down" has become "fast and slow first" or "unstable" in Northeast Yangko. Therefore, the "root" of "kicking" and the movement of the center of gravity are particularly "stable".
Generally speaking, adagio in dance is not easy to master. "Wave" plays an important role in the adagio of Northeast Yangko. If you want to dance adagio well, you must first "wave". At this time, it is necessary to start from the process of action and the connection of action. Only by doing the action flow well can we dance adagio well. With the delicate movement process, it is not easy to grasp the beat. The shift of the center of gravity of Northeast Yangko is an indispensable process, which is the basis of "wave rise". It plays the role of mastering the beat and filling the music, and the movement process, speed and amplitude from front to toe are influenced and controlled by it. The slower and more delicate the center of gravity moves, the longer the route and the greater the radian, the clearer the "waves" on the body, and the more powerful, tenacious, cultured and connotative the overall action becomes.
What people enjoy most when watching folk dance is the charm contained in its movements, which contains strong regional characteristics. When dancing very skillfully, the style and charm are unconsciously revealed, which is a very clever and natural expression. But before that, we must try to figure out the mystery. Only by mastering this subtlety can the presented dance not be mediocre and become a series of "movements" that are not worth seeing. Similarly, if you want to master the style and characteristics of Northeast Yangko, you have to master its mystery. The beauty of this is that the center of gravity moves under your feet. In my opinion, solving the problem of "kicking" and shifting the focus is the best way to master the dynamic style of Northeast Yangko.
1, Study on Dance Style of Northeast Yangko
Northeast Yangko is a popular folk song and dance form in northeast China. According to legend, in the thirty years of Kangxi, there was a record in Ning 'an County, Heilongjiang Province that "in the Yuan Dynasty, a busybody played yangko" and "yangko". A boy beat three or four women, and three or four men fought the army, each holding two logs, hitting each other abruptly and hitting a paste vendor with stirrups (umbrella lamps) as the leader.
Northeast Yangko is humorous in form and unique in style. The vast black land endows it with primitive and uninhibited spirituality and amorous feelings, which combines pungent, humorous, witty, gentle and steady, vividly showing the personality characteristics of the people in Northeast China, such as enthusiasm, simplicity, rigidity and softness. Steady waves, waves, stalks, stalks, stepping on the board and twisting the waist are the biggest characteristics of Northeast Yangko. At the same time, colorful handkerchief flowers combined with the rhythm of Yangko itself make the dance more charming, vividly showing the characteristics of the northeast Yangko, such as rolling, Qiao, quietness and stability. Under the restriction of the original mentality, adjusting posture, rhythm, rhythm and footwork, and actively expressing inner feelings are the main characteristics of Northeast Yangko.
1. 1 the physical characteristics of northeast yangko
There are certain requirements for posture in the performance of Northeast Yangko, such as the body must lean forward slightly and the chin should shrink back to ensure that every movement is clean and neat, so as to show the three bends of the female body and better express the emotional changes. Every action should contain rich emotions. Therefore, the performance of northeast yangko should accurately grasp the psychological activities of northeast women; Northeast men should emphasize "teasing", that is, free and easy fun and release male masculinity. Northeast yangko is also called "twisting yangko" in many cases. According to this vocabulary, the most important thing in yangko performance is to twist the waist, which fully shows the personality characteristics of the people in Northeast China, such as unrestrained, happy, enthusiastic and humorous.
1.2 Rhythm Characteristics of Northeast Yangko
Through analysis, it is found that the traditional rhythm of Northeast Yangko is 2/4 beat mantissa, mixed with a small amount of 1/4 beat and 4/4 beat. Moreover, the stress of the beat does not necessarily exist in the first beat of each bar, but occasionally appears in the middle or last part of the bar. This means that the rhythm of the Northeast Yangko has changed greatly, especially the extensive use of dotted notes, which makes the rhythm in the performance very rich. It is widely used in slow or medium speed music. Influenced by this rhythm, the dance movement characteristics of Northeast Yangko show the characteristics of "standing firm and fast feet", and the melody is in harmony with the charm, which has a very unique taste.
1.3 Footwork Characteristics of Northeast Yangko
The basic footwork of Northeast Yangko includes kicking back and forth, dunking, side kicking, shaking and jumping. In the process of kicking, the performer's whole knee movement must be elastic and short, which requires a small kicking range, high speed, concentrated exchange of legs, stable body, and constant posture when kicking, that is, the upper body leans forward slightly and the waist and crotch are raised appropriately. This series of characteristics is closely related to stilt walking activities in Northeast China, and the sharp contrast of retraction, movement and strength can also show the ups and downs of psychological activities in Northeast China.
1.4 Dynamic Characteristics of Northeast Yangko
The dynamic law of northeast yangko is usually divided into three types: front and back dynamic law, up and down dynamic law and cyclic dynamic law. These three dynamic laws are closely related, and every two dynamic laws should be connected through the slow movement of the lower arc of the waist, thus forming a fast and stable dance. Some people have concluded that the most basic dynamic law of Northeast Yangko is walking, steady and drumming. The first is "walking", which means that the steps are steady, the knees are relaxed during walking, and the rear ankles are slightly hooked. When landing, control the strength, produce a strong feeling, and the pace is not constrained; The second is "steady phase", which refers to the static action, but emphasizes the static, which means that the steady phase is not absolute static, but the relative state of connection before and after the action, emphasizing the continuation and beginning; The third type is "drum phase", which is mainly composed of continuous drums, called drum, drum phase and turning over. It needs to be handled carefully at every level to keep it clean, coherent and progressive.
2. Innovation in the performance form of Northeast Yangko.
With the development of the times, people have made great innovations and transformations on the traditional Northeast Yangko, and the biggest difference before and after is that the modern Yangko has a larger movement range. The increase of movement range greatly improves the expressive force of dance, especially when it is displayed on the stage. The integration of fresh elements promotes the Northeast Yangko to better show the dancers' hearts, and improves the overall appreciation and artistry. For example, in the process of shifting the center of gravity, it is necessary to increase the movement range of the original pace, and the performers should maximize the movement range as much as possible on the basis of maintaining stability, further reflecting people's pursuit of freedom and the enthusiasm of the Northeast.
3. Conclusion
The basic yangko is an important part of our national culture, which contains the aesthetic psychology and artistic taste of the people in Northeast China, and is a synthesis of emotion, belief and culture. Through the analysis of this paper, the main characteristics of Northeast Yangko are "teasing" and "noisy". Dancers should fully understand these characteristics before performing, feel the living atmosphere of the people in Northeast China, and thus show the cultural connotation of Northeast Yangko.
