Chapter 283: Dare to be the first in the world
"Tao Te Ching" cloud: "I always have three treasures: one is compassion, two is thrifty, and three is not daring to be the first in the world"
This is Lao Tzu's own motto to himself, benevolence and thrift are easy to understand, that is, loving all sentient beings, being diligent and thrifty, but there will be a lot of ambiguity in the sentence "dare not be the first in the world". Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Many people interpret it as a negative, silent practice, an unmotivated behavior when first explained.
If there is no meaning of the first two sentences and the concept of 'Tao' handed down by Lao Tzu himself, then this sentence may be negative, but combined with the concept of the character who said this sentence and the complete sentence, this sentence will not have a negative meaning at all.
In the same sentence, different people have different personalities, and in translation, the combination of the author's personality is the most important criterion.
Lao Tzu, as the most important founder of thought, literature and philosophy in Chinese history, his ideas are one of the foundations of Chinese traditional culture, and the Taoist ideas he founded are important academics that affect the development process of China.
The rule of non-action is the essence of Taoist thought, where non-action refers to non-violation, non-violation, Taoism pays attention to obeying nature, obeying the law, not imposing its own subjective will, other people, conforming to the heart is the highest life values advocated by Lao Tzu.
Of course, this is a bit idealistic, because human desire itself is not full of variables, but if one day, human moral and ideological standards can achieve the rule of inaction, then there will be no evil, because existence is reasonable, and the unreasonable will eventually be eliminated, and the human heart is good, and the last thing that can be eliminated can only be evil.
I don't dare to explain this sentence from Lao Tzu's point of view, that is, if you don't force you to change anything with your own strength, and do not have desire, then there will be no troubles, and there will be no problems without troubles, and there will be no problems in life, and it will naturally become smooth.
Eat when you are hungry, eat and sleep, choose a job you like to support yourself, do not seek to be rich and expensive, as long as there is no problem with food and clothing, others have no requirements for you, you have no requirements for others, everything will develop according to the laws of nature.
If everyone can do this, dare not be the first in the world, and do not act alone, or even if someone is a maverick, others will naturally express this kind of behavior without the views and imitations of other supervisors, then there will be no desire to chase.
This is Lao Tzu's most complete expectation for this world, although he himself knows that this is too difficult for human beings, but this does not mean that this is not right, so he went west to the valley and turned Hu to preach.
And Mo Ke's "Dare to Be the First in the World" brought this time is Wang Yao's processing of this concept, which is contrary to the dance concept of "dare not be the first in the world".
It's obsession.
The opposition of desirelessness must be obsession.
And the role of Feixue itself is an obsession, an obsession with revenge and love, so Wang Yao put forward an idea to Mo Ke, and Mo Ke and her teachers helped arrange this "Dare to Be the First in the World".
The Water Sleeve Dance is a dance that represents the extreme femininity of women in Chinese civilization, and is the most formal and popular dance in ancient court dances.
Although the idiom of long-sleeved good dancing is not to highlight the water sleeve dance, it is also related to the water sleeve dance, because the water sleeve dance relies on the water sleeve to highlight the performance, the longer the water sleeve, the more shocking and beautiful the dance.
Therefore, the term long-sleeved good dancing is a metaphor, and people with professional qualities and prerequisite talents are more likely to succeed.
Long-sleeved good dance, more money good Jia (gu).
The longer the water sleeves, the more powerful the dance, the more money, and the easier it is to do business.
Among the ancient beauties of China, Huan Fei Yan is thin, Yang Yuhuan and Zhao Feiyan are both masters of water sleeve dance, Zhao Feiyan danced Emperor Han Cheng, and created his own 'palm dance' and 'step' are even more hands trembling like wind blowing flowers, and the body is light like the wind moving, which no one can match throughout the ages.
Yang Yuhuan is a dancer, although the "Ni Dress Feather Song" is lost to future generations It is difficult to see its amazement, but it can be seen in the degree of praise of the poets of the past dynasties that this dance is so amazing. A jade flute went into the air, and the moon was full and the Lishan Palace was leaking. ’。
These two people are both water sleeve dances, and according to legend, Yang Guifei can make nine-foot water sleeves and dance cleanly.
Nine feet, that is, one zhang, that is, three meters.
The most famous modern water sleeve dance master, Wu Qingfeng can dance the water sleeve of one zhang and four feet, that is, nearly four meters long, but this is because of the strength of the man himself.
Dance and martial arts are closely related, martial arts is to push the arts, dance is to nourish the strength of the arts, the two complement each other, but if you can combine rigidity and softness, there will be unexpected surprises.
Mo Ke is a child of the Liyuan family, and he is also a descendant of Jiu-Jitsu, this Jiu-Jitsu is not a soft skill, but a martial art similar to Indian yoga and Tai Chi that overcomes rigidity with softness, the combination of strength and softness, Mo Ke's strength is not small, at least much greater than that of ordinary adult men, and the most important thing is that she knows how to exert force.
The water sleeve is like a soft whip in a weapon, in martial arts novels, the soft soldiers are basically the top masters, because the talent is not enough, you can't use this uncontrollable weapon.
In modern times, with the development of science today, human beings have studied physics very deeply, and there is a theoretical basis for how force is transmitted and controlled, but the practical operation is somewhat difficult, and it still needs to be proved in practice.
From the Chinese New Year to the present, Mo Ke pondered for several months, and finally chose a long water sleeve to perform this "Dare to Be the First in the World", the choreography is full of strength, and the long sleeves are full of murderous spirit when they are shaken, and the kind of perseverance and recklessness that Wang Yao needs to show is vividly expressed.
And Wang Yao's self-choreographed sword dance, visited a few old-timers in the pear orchard line, in the past, the pear garden line also had a hard time, so many folk art forms have been absorbed, juggling and changing faces have been learned, and the sword dance is not a problem.
Under the guidance of the old-timers, Wang Yao combined the character of the remnant sword, combined with the smelting of calligraphy, and finally made up this sword dance.
Sword dance can not be regarded as a pure dance form, it should be a kind of art that is bred from countless kinds of swordsmanship, and the art of soldiers and chivalrous expressions of emotions is like a calligrapher and painter writing and painting with a pen, and a poet using poetry to comfort emotions.
In the past, military life was depressing, and it was rare to have a relaxed time, and hiring a dancer would affect the morale of the army, so it was generally the general who danced the sword to drive the atmosphere, and this kind of bloody and masculine performance derived from the battlefield could stimulate the resonance of men's hearts.
Although Wang Yao only knows a few martial arts at present, he has a very solid foundation, coupled with the routines of opera, it is very simple to make up a sword dance, but the focus is on expression, the purpose of the broken sword is not revenge, and there is no obsession, he is benevolent, so he needs to show mercy.
Confucianism alone has many explanations for benevolence, and Wang Yao chose the benevolence that is most in line with the character of the remnant sword, 'do unto others what you would not do to yourself'.
Because the remnant sword knew how terrible the obsession in Feixue's heart was, he loved Feixue, but it didn't mean connivance, so he wanted to suppress Feixue's obsession, so Wang Yao integrated his calligraphy fortune of 'Renzi' into the sword dance, focusing on the word 'receiving'.
No matter how impulsive Feixue's obsession is, the remnant sword can end for her, which is the greatest fraternity of a man in love.
So when Wang Yao performed this sword dance for Director Zhang, Director Zhang laughed and said that Wang Yao danced the remnant sword into a 'little man', cowering and not having a manly demeanor.
But in Wang Yao's understanding, the remnant sword should be this kind of man, he is not cowering, he just wants everything to get back on track, and he and Feixue can be together safely.
The Water Sleeve Dance and the Sword Dance can form a combination dance, but Wang Yao and Mo Ke did not run in advance, because both of them felt that improvisational cooperation could achieve the real highest effect, anyway, it was a dance created by the two of them, and no one could find fault.
However, Wang Yao had an idea: "When we jump, you shoot us with arrows below, more than a hundred people." ”
"It's too difficult, although the arrows won't hurt you, but you'll be affected by the stray arrows. Cheng Xiaodong asked.
Bows and arrows have a range, as long as they are beyond the range, there is no strength, and there is no need to worry about shooting injuries, but people have instinctive reactions, and it is too difficult to dodge arrows while dancing.
"This can really shoot the fluctuations of the arrow hitting the water sleeve. Wang Yao said.
"Ah, you're giving me a problem. Mo Ke sat next to Maggie Cheung and shouted.
"Sister Manyu didn't give you benefits. Wang Yao chuckled and said, "You can't just take advantage and don't do anything." ”
Mo Ke glared at Wang Yao and continued to chat with Maggie Cheung.
"I agree with this idea. Director Zhang smiled, "This is how to have a real feeling, or the post-special effects are always a little awkward, but the post-cutout is very troublesome." ”
"Just wrap the arrows in a green cloth. Wang Yao smiled, "In this way, you can also tie some small cameras to the arrows to shoot various angles of the arrows, which is more realistic." ”
"Are you sure? If you step on the arrow, it will affect your movements. Cheng Xiaodong still takes into account some practical problems with his experience.
"Just get a hair dryer in the back and rush down the arrows that fall to the ground, and it can also help us reduce the force of the arrows. Wang Yao said with a smile.
"OK, listen to you in this play. Director Zhang clapped and smiled: "Where's the costume?"
"It should be almost there. Wang Yao looked at the time.
Shen Huixin and Xiuniang came with Wang Yao's specially customized clothes, Wang Yao still attaches great importance to this play, which is equivalent to implanting a soft advertisement, the traditional Chinese dance water sleeve dance and sword dance, as well as clothing advertisements.
Because of his confidence in the Water Sleeve Dance and Sword Dance, Wang Yao felt that this play would definitely become an important scene in the history of international filmmaking, and it could also make the oriental culture shock the world again.
