Chapter 185: Tang Waltz I

Gao Jingming, the head of the household, said: "Your Majesty, since the wedding of His Royal Highness King Liang, 7,196 families of the Tang Dynasty have intermarried with the grassland people, and the situation is very good. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info”

Wei Zheng said happily: "The minister learned from the Criminal Department that the recent disputes between the people of the Tang Dynasty and the people of the grassland have also shown a downward trend, and it seems that the imperial court's measures to encourage intermarriage are very effective." ”

It turned out that the reason why Li Su got married in such a high-profile manner naturally had the meaning of currying favor with the dark clouds. However, this was not his main purpose, but a measure of the imperial court to stabilize the grassland.

Qibi Wuyun is one of the representatives of grassland women, and Li Su is the prince of the Tang Dynasty, and their big wedding is now not called harmony, but a demonstration of intermarriage between ethnic groups.

The grievances between the grassland peoples and the Central Plains people lasted for thousands of years, and the imperial court defeated the grassland peoples and divided them through internal migration, but it was still very far from the goal of ethnic integration.

A good way to strengthen national integration is to intermarry on a large scale. Through intermarriage, when the time comes, you will have me and I will have you, and the resolution of contradictions will not be a matter between ethnic groups, but a matter within the family.

Before the wedding, Li Su discussed with Li Shimin, and planned to encourage the people of the Tang Dynasty to intermarry with the grassland people, and the imperial court promulgated corresponding preferential policies.

Shortly after Li Su's wedding, the imperial court promulgated a policy to encourage intermarriage between ethnic groups.

For those who intermarry, the court exempts the parties from paying taxes for five years, reducing the time for them to bear labor. At the same time, when he raised his first child, he was exempted from all labor and taxes for two years.

At this moment, it caused a boom in intermarriage across the country, and there was an example of Li Su, the king of Liang, and people were proud of intermarriage. This move greatly diluted ethnic grievances and became one of the effective means for Datang to assimilate ethnic minorities.

Li Shimin was very happy and decided to extend the encouragement of intermarriage to all people of all ethnic groups who have Datang household registration in Datang. This has laid a good cultural foundation for Datang's future expansion.

Besides, after Li Su's wedding, Li Shimin approved him to take a vacation in Chang'an City, and then go to the grassland to perform his duties as a propaganda envoy in the spring of next year. Li Su can comfortably enjoy a few months of vacation.

The wedding day was sweet, Li Su was sticky with the dark clouds every day, and he didn't take a step out of the Liang Wangfu for half a month, and was unanimously ridiculed by Li Dan and Du He.

On this day, Li Dan came over and said that his father, Li Xiaogong, had invited him over to watch his newly choreographed song and dance.

Li Xiaogong was originally the top powerful man in Datang, but with the help of his son-in-law Li Su, he is now one of the top richest people in Datang.

He surrendered his military power very early, and basically did not participate in political affairs, he never went to court, except for the ceremonies prescribed by the imperial court, he did not participate in anything. Old man (a man in his 30s in the Tang Dynasty, who became a grandfather or grandfather, called himself an old man.) Behind closed doors all day, it's just two words: "enjoy".

Li Xiaogong's enjoyment is not like ordinary people, he mainly likes to appreciate singing and dancing, he not only likes the singing and dancing of the Han people, but also likes the singing and dancing of ethnic minorities.

Last time, Li Su came back from the grassland and gave Li Xiaogong a lot of dancing girls on the grassland, and Li Xiaogong kept buying new dancing girls, so that the number of Kabuki in his house has exceeded 200.

Li Xiaogong encouraged them to study song and dance, and he himself participated in the research, so it can be said that Li Xiaogong is one of the promoters of the development of song and dance in the Tang Dynasty and has made significant contributions.

The dance art of the Tang Dynasty reached a new realm of maturity after the leap in dance techniques of the Han Dynasty and the convergence of Chinese and foreign music and dance in the Northern and Southern Dynasties, which was the highest peak of the development of ancient Chinese dance art.

As an ancient Han dance art, the Tang Dynasty dance style is numerous, the variety is complete, and the classification is detailed, all of which are beyond the reach of the previous dynasties. Dance emerges on the art stage in an independent performing arts style. The classification of dance is divided by movement skills and style characteristics, which illustrates the perfection of the dance movement technique system. Choreography includes soloists, pas de deux and trios. Large-scale group dances, etc.

The famous ones are soft dance, green waist, neon dress and feather dance, jinghong dance, jian dance, Hu Xuan dance, Hu Teng dance, palace banquet dance, Quartet music dance, sword dance, sword dance, etc.

There are also kabuki in the Liang Palace, and Li Su felt fresh at the beginning, but gradually he got tired of watching it and felt bored.

The court dance of the East focuses on appreciation, while the court dance of the West focuses on participation. Li Su found it more interesting to participate.

In his later life, he liked ballroom dancing and participated in many dance classes, and later improved his level, participated in the ballroom dance competition held by the sub-district office, and won the third place.

Later, the level was further improved, and he won the runner-up in the city's college competition.

When he was in the palace of Yunzhou County, he taught Qibi Wuyun to learn ballroom dance, and Qibi Wuyun was originally able to sing and dance, and the two have now cooperated very tacitly.

The palace of Hejian County.

Li Xiaogong saw Li Su and Qibi Dark Clouds, and said excitedly: "Your Highness, I have rehearsed a new dance today, and I specially invite you to come and enjoy it."

Li Su and Qibi Wuyun followed Li Xiaogong into the performance hall and found that there were several other court nobles inside, all of whom were old friends in the army with Li Xiaogong in the past. When he saw Liang Wang and his wife coming, he also stood up and saluted them.

The performance began, and the so-called new dance, that is, some variations of the green waist dance, was about to fall asleep after a while.

When the performance was finally over, Li Su was stabbed with his finger by the Qibi dark cloud next to him and opened his eyes. He shouted hello to everyone a few times and cheered Li Xiaogong on.

Li Xiaogong felt that Li Yu was not interested, and said, "Your Highness, I have something else, why don't you enjoy it again?" ”

Li Su said: "Uncle, let's change it, how about you look at the dance I brought you?" ”

Li Xiaogong said with interest: "Oh, what new dance do you have?" ”

Li Su clapped his hands, and Yang Kang went out.

After a while, Yang Kang came in with a band.

At the suggestion of Li Su, the beautiful waltz was played. In the sound of graceful music, Li Su introduced the waltz as follows:

Waltz is the king of dance.

Because it is the first dance in the history of mankind to be able to get close to the opposite sex.

The waltz itself means to turn.

There was no way for former couples to meet in public,

Only through such gatherings.

to be able to express their thoughts about each other.

Only give your hand to the one you love the most.

to be able to dance the most beautiful slalom.

It's like this...

Li Su and Qibi dark clouds danced, the movements were elegant and generous, Li Su's dancing skills were extraordinary, and Qibi dark clouds were even more dancing leaders, they kept spinning, and the Qibi dark cloud skirt flew into a rotating flower.

The duo performed the waltz to perfection. Everyone was stunned and immediately fell in love with this simple and elegant dance.
