A dance that has been passed down for thousands of years?

Tang Yi raised his eyebrows in surprise, aroused a trace of curiosity.

"Peony, what kind of dance are you talking about, has it really been passed down for thousands of years?"

It was not only Tang Yi who was curious, but also the other female classmates present.

Just these four words that have been circulated for thousands of years are probably enough to arouse anyone's curiosity and expectations.

"In fact, to be precise, that dance has not been passed down for thousands of years, but has been lost for thousands of years, have you heard of the two major dance queens in history?"

Two dancing queens?

Tang Yi and several girls shook their heads slightly.

"I only know Yang Guifei's neon dress and feather dance, I have seen it in the TV series. ”

After a pause, Tang Yi added thoughtfully.

Xi Shaoyao smiled leisurely: "Yes, the world only knows Yang Taizhen's neon clothes and feathers, but they don't know the golden lotus dance of Yao Niang who dances to the city and then dances the country." ”

"Who is that, is she one of the two dancing queens in history you said?"

"What kind of dance is the Golden Lotus Dance, and why have I never heard of it? ”

"When you dance in the city, it must be unusual to hear. ”

Listening to Xi Shaoyao's words, everyone, including Tang Yi, felt that their knowledge had increased.

However, the name Lady is indeed very unfamiliar to them, at least Tang Yi has definitely not learned the knowledge of this dancing queen in history during his nine years of duty.

"You may not know about it, but you must have heard of one of the two dancing queens, she is Zhao Feiyan, the second queen of Emperor Cheng Liu Biao. ”

When Xi Shaoyao said this, her eyes lit up and she continued: "There are two strange women in the history of ancient dance, one is Zhao Feiyan, and the other is Lady Yao. ”

Legend has it that Zhao Feiyan can dance in the palm of a person's hand, and she is famous for her "palm dance", while the lady dances with the golden lotus. Zhao Feiyan and Miao Niang are two different women, one of them is romantic by nature, the other is affectionate and righteous, and their evaluation in history is also completely different. ”

Xi Shaoyao gave a general introduction to the two dance queens in history, and after listening to Tang Yi, he realized that although the kiln girl was also like Zhao Feiyan, although she was from a humble background, she was not like Zhao Feiyan who killed others for her own powerful position.

Li Yu, the husband of the Southern Tang Dynasty, was an emperor with both talent and appearance, and the name of the lady was taken by him personally.

Although she has no outstanding knowledge, she is best at dancing a lotus-picking dance adapted from the artistic conception of Tang Dynasty Wang Changling's "Lotus Picking Song".

"You mean, you're going to do this lotus dance? Didn't you say it was lost. ”

Tang Yi finally understood the meaning of Xi Peony, but it was precisely because he knew the inside story that he felt even more shocked and incredible.

The latter smiled faintly and said: "It has indeed been lost, but there are still some relevant introductions and explanations preserved in some ancient documents, I once found the picture scroll of the Golden Lotus Dance in an ancient book essay, combined with Wang Changling's "Lotus Picking Song" has sorted out some dance movements. It may be a little different from the original version, but it should not be much different in terms of mood. ”

Actually combined with the information found in ancient books and documents, he restored the golden lotus dance of the lady himself, I have to say that Xi Peony is indeed a dance genius, and he is a person who loves to dance like his life.

It's no wonder that she gave up the opportunity to continue her studies at the top dance academy and chose to major in classics at an ordinary university that seemed unremarkable.

Everyone has their own way, and it is clear that Xi Shaoyao has found this path that belongs to her.

"So, you mean that half a month later, the welcome party plans to use the golden lotus dance of the lady as the program of our class, right?"

Tang Yi secretly took a breath in his heart, looked at her seriously without blinking and asked.

If that's the case, if this show is successful, I'm afraid it will cause a sensation in the whole school, and even in the entire dance world.

"Originally, I had no confidence, but listening to the guqin music you played just now gave me confidence again. There is a Zheng song also called "Lotus Picking Song", the artistic conception is very close to Wang Changling's "Lotus Picking Song", I think if I change and adjust it slightly, it may be more ancient rhyme to play on the guqin, and it can be more in line with the golden lotus dance of the kiln girl. ”

Speaking of this, Xi Shaoyao looked at Tang Yi with burning eyes, and the brilliance in his eyes was like the glow of the evening.

"I stroked the piano and she danced, it doesn't sound impossible, it's just ......"

Tang Yi hesitated for a few seconds before thinking about it and said, "If it's convenient, I want to see your Golden Lotus Dance first." ”

He didn't know to what extent Xi Shaoyao had restored the Golden Lotus Dance of Miao Niang, and whether the dance itself could be combined with the guqin.

Therefore, Tang Yi did not blindly agree to come down at the first time.

Performing publicly on stage in front of all the teachers and students of the school is already the limit that Tang Yi can bear, and if the performance is smashed again, then the fun will be great.

Anyway, he is now also the number one figure in the Imperial Capital's stubborn main circle, if this spreads, where will he put Tang Jiuye's face?

"No problem, please go down and wait for me first, I'll go change my clothes. ”

Xi Shaoyao was overjoyed, and agreed to Tang Yi's request without thinking about it.

About four or five minutes later, Tang Yi and Shen Man, who had already returned to the practice room on the first floor, suddenly heard a guzheng song coming from nowhere.

After the zither song sounded, Xi Shaoyao, who was wearing a white saro skirt, walked out of the corner of the stairs with a beautiful posture with the music.

Her every step of her dance, her smile and smile are like lotus pickers on the lake.

With the beat of the Zheng song, Xi Shaoyao's wanton dance, her every movement is so beautiful, and every look is so intoxicating.

Tang Yi was sure that Xi Shaoyao's dance had never been seen on TV before.

And he also noticed a detail, that is, when Xi Shaoyao was dancing, his feet were always dancing and moving within a meter diameter, as if he was really on a light boat on the lake.

At the end of the song, Tang Yi and Shen Man next to him couldn't help but be stunned.

In addition to beauty and immortality, they really couldn't think of a better adjective to praise Xi Shaoyao's dance.

"I'm sorry, but I've only restored two-thirds of this dance according to ancient books, so it's not complete yet. ”

After dancing the song, Xi Peony came over and said in the applause of Tang Yi and several people.

"It's already very amazing, it is worthy of the Golden Lotus Dance that once moved the world, and it really has the artistic conception of 'flying immortals outside the sky, and giving birth to lotus flowers step by step' as Queen Li said. ”

Tang Yi did not hesitate to praise, he was really amazed by Xi Peony and this Golden Lotus Dance.

"Then do you think you can change the zhengqu to the guqin song, every time I dance with the zhengqu, I always feel that something is almost something, but I can't tell what's wrong. ”

Replace the fight for the guqin......

Tang Yi thought about it seriously, maybe he could really give it a try, not only Xi Shaoyao felt this way, but he actually felt that the timbre and charm of the guqin might be more suitable for this dance.

"Maybe you can give it a try. ”

Tang Yi hesitated for a moment, said hello to Xi Shaoyao, and went straight to the musical instrument room on the second floor to move the guqin down.

There were no tables or chairs, so he simply sat on the floor and put the piano on his lap.

Tang Yi's guqin is already proficient, and I am afraid that there are not many people who can stand out in the world.

The difficulty coefficient of "Lotus Picking Song" is not high, and the music played by the guzheng is not difficult to turn into a guqin song.

Even, Tang Yi made some partial fine-tuning of this piece according to the artistic conception in Wang Changling's poem "Lotus Picking Song".

The "Lotus Picking Song" played on the guqin is really more meaningful and ethereal than the Zheng song, as if it really gives people the illusion of being in the lotus pond.

"yes, that's what it feels like, that's what I want!"

"Tang Yi, can I ask you to play it again, I want to dance to your piano song again. ”

After listening to Tang Yi's "Lotus Picking Song" played on the guqin, the original cloud and breeze were light and light, like Xi Peony coming out of the picture of a lady, and her excited pretty face seemed to be shining.

"Peony, do you want to use your mobile phone to record the piano music played by the squad leader first, so that it is convenient for you to practice dancing at home in the future." ”

A girl next to her also kindly proposed.

"Well, thanks for the reminder, you didn't say I really forgot. ”

Xi Shaoyao smiled gratefully at her, and turned on the phone's recording function before Tang Yi played it for the second time.

Sure enough, as Tang Yi and Xi Shaoyao expected, the Golden Lotus Dance and the Guqin are indeed more compatible.

When she danced for the second time, even she felt like she was on a lotus boat in the lotus pond, the lotus leaves in the sky echoed the moonlight in the sky, and the faint fragrance of lotus flowers echoed with the distant ethereal sound of the piano.

Not only was Xi Peony immersed in the artistic conception of the moonlight on the lotus pond, but Tang Yi was also brought in by her dance.

That feeling is as if he unconsciously turned into a teenager thousands of years ago, just admiring the moon and caressing the piano in the pavilion on the other side of the lotus pond, and Xi Peony is the lotus picking girl on the lotus picking boat, listening to the sound of the piano from the shore while picking lotus, while dancing with the piano.

At the end of the song, Tang Yi was pleasantly surprised to find that the completion of the Gentleman's Six Arts Fun, which had not moved for several days, suddenly increased from 39% to 46%, a full 7%.

You must know that when the Six Arts Joy was first activated, the completion was already 35%, and it took him half a month to finally complete 4 percentage points, which was slower than the turtle crawling.

Just now, I cooperated with Xi Shaoyao in "Lotus Picking Song", and the completion of 7 points was improved in an instant, how could Tang Yi not be surprised.

"It seems that maybe I made a mistake in my previous direction, and if I want to achieve a small success in the other four arts besides archery and royalty, I'm afraid it's not enough to just blindly learn by rote. ”

Tang Yi had a faint hunch that the reason why the completion of the Six Arts Joy suddenly increased by 7 points was directly related to the artistic conception substitution just now.

For Xi Shaoyao, this Golden Lotus Dance is also the best dance she has ever felt she has ever danced.

Next, Tang Yi discussed the details of the next rehearsal with Xi Shaoyao, and agreed on the time of the rehearsal later, so he said goodbye to Shen Man and the other girls and left.

Coming out of Xi Shaoyao's house, Tang Yi originally planned to send them back to school, but when Shen Man and the others knew that he lived in the neighborhood next door, they refused with a smile.

Since a few girls are so sensible, Tang Yi no longer insisted, this time he signed up for school, held a class meeting, led the training uniform, and played the piano, and after this toss, he was indeed a little hungry.
