Chapter 281: Martial Dance
Martial arts.
Ying Xun's eyes widened when she heard this.
The highest level of music in the Zhou Dynasty is the six dances, and there are six kinds of six dances as the name suggests, in addition to the four kinds of "Cloud Gate", "Da Xian", "Da Shao" and "Da Xia", there are actually two kinds.
That is "Da Hui" and "Dawu".
Yunmen, Daxian, Dashao, and Daxia were made by the Yellow Emperor when he arrived in Yu, and were called "Wen Dance", while Da Hui and Da Wu were made by Tang and Wu respectively, and were called "Wu Dance".
Just by looking at the name, you can understand that martial arts and cultural dances are very different. Even among the six dances, only two martial arts dances are very special existences.
The Six Dances were regarded as the highest example of music and dance, and later generations revered it as the "Dance of the Ancestors". The four ancestors of the Yellow Emperor, Yao, Shun and Yu who created the Wen Dance, served the world with virtue and virtue, and won the throne with Zen, so the four dances of Yunmen, Xianchi, Dashao and Daxia were respected as Wen Wu, the form was elegant and solemn, and the content was mostly the praise of the dynasty at that time.
However, the two kings of Shang Tang and King Wu of Zhou conquered the world with martial arts, so their Da Hui and Dawu two dances were respected as martial dances, and the content was to praise their military exploits.
It is precisely because of the different content of the song that it is different from the solemn and elegant dance.
"Da Hui" and "Dawu" are war dances with weapons in hand.
Although both martial arts and literary dances are valued as six dances, martial dances have always been considered too intense by aristocratic families and not too solemn for sacrifices, so they are rarely chosen.
Hearing Ying Baoyue's words, the other former Qin teenagers who were summoned by Ying Xun in the courtyard were shocked, and they all gasped and opened their mouths.
"Wu Wu? Are you kidding? β
"Dancing at a solemn ceremony? Dancing knives and guns on the altar? It's not a gentleman's thing to like at all......"
"It's not a gentleman's favor, it's just immoral......"
Some cultivators who didn't participate in the polo battle and were lazy and didn't go to watch the game, but just waited for the first result in the crowd battle while lying at home, were dissatisfied with the change in the attitude of some of their companions towards Ying Baoyue, and looked at Ying Baoyue standing next to Ying Xun at this time, and secretly laughed in a low voice.
"Sure enough, it's a woman who hasn't been to the altar...... Hi don't understand anything......"
"I only know how to grandstand......"
"Do you think the martial arts dance is lively? I'm afraid I don't even know what the Six Dances are, so I know a name and come out to show off......"
Ying Xun clenched her fists as she listened to the more and more ugly she spoke, "It's all quiet!" β
The sound of demons dancing in the courtyard stopped, and Lady Yao stood behind Ying Baoyue and watched this scene in amazement.
She was the only woman in the courtyard except for Ying Baoyue, but she never knew that her Highness had always been in such a world.
And the girl stood up straight like this.
At this moment, the girl looked back at her panicked as if she was having eyes behind her back and smiled soothingly, "Aunt Yao, it's okay, it'll be fine right away." β
After speaking, Ying Baoyue looked at Ying Xun, "So many people's discussions are just here, right?" Close the door and get down to business. β
Ying Xun lowered his face when he heard this and waved his hand, "Everyone else will go back, and the captains of the battle will stay." The captain will let you know when there is anything. β
The courtyard that had been chattering was quiet again. In addition to Ying Xun Ying Baoyue and Guichen, there are only eight captains left in the original group.
By the way, two of them were the two who were squeezed out of the polo match by Ying Baoyue and Guichen. However, these eight were still the core forces among the former Qin cultivators.
Although the ritual is attended by many practitioners, it is also divided into the main dance, the Dharma protector, and the peripheral drumming. Most of the cultivators are not the main jumpers, they are called in the first place to unite the people, but they really want to talk about things......
Ying Baoyue looked at Ying Xun and smiled, "There really can't be too many people." β
This is actually a basic skill to control people, Ying Xun looked at Ying Baoyue with a complicated expression. Although he had planned to do the same at first, calling everyone to come just as a formality, he didn't expect her to know what he was going to do.
I didn't expect her to know all about these political affairs.
He also became proficient under the many teachings of the former Qin relics, but why did she know?
Is this really the sister of Ying Hanri, the vase princess of the former Qin Emperor?
"Grand Prince," but at this moment, Huo Zhan's voice interrupted Ying Xun's thoughts, Huo Zhan looked around and frowned slightly, "Let's discuss it, do you want to call more elites in?" β
"Yes, the vice-captain of my squad is actually quite knowledgeable...... other captains around echoed.
Although these squad leaders were selected by Yingxun, each captain will also cultivate a henchman in the team and appoint him as the "vice captain".
And the vice-captain who was elected will naturally be grateful to the captain who elected him. Just like Wang Tusheng in the team where Yinghuyue and Guichen stayed in the first round of the battle, he had always followed Huo Zhan and nodded.
This is somewhat similar to the Shiwu system in the army, where five people are in the army, and ten people are in the army, which is called the Shiwu. Ten people will have a long and a long army, and where there are people, there will naturally be rivers and lakes, not to mention that there are more than ten people in each Qianqin team.
Now the captains who are summoned by Yingxun in the courtyard are all captains, and many team leaders obviously want to pull their own deputy captains into it.
"Vice Captain......" Ying Xun groaned when he heard this, but at this moment, a calm female voice sounded beside him.
"No, the fewer people present in the next conversation, the better." Ying Baoyue said quietly.
Ying Baoyue looked around at the other teenagers around her, "After all, the name of the sacrificial dance that Qin wants to dance is an important secret of the battle. β
"That's right," Ying Xun's shoulders shook when he heard this, and he looked up at everyone in the courtyard seriously, "What we talk about today in this courtyard will never be allowed to leak out, and everyone must swear by family luck." β
In fact, the third round of the battle of the people actually started before the start of the festival, when the countries selected the sacrificial dance.
In the three days of preparation, the entire Danyang City was ready to move, and spies from various countries were desperately trying to find out the choices of various countries.
Just because the sacrificial dance represents the faΓ§ade of a country, in addition to the effect of attracting gods, there will also be judgments by ceremonial officials, and in such a situation, surprise can bring surprises to ceremonial officials and people.
At that time, each country will come to power in the order of the lot, and when they come to power, everyone will know what they are going to dance. The countries at the top of the draw are lucky, but the countries at the bottom of the draw are facing a crisis, that is, the type of dance cannot be repetitive.
Ying Baoyue looked at Ying Xun beside her, whose face was suddenly solemn.
Although it is an unwritten tradition that the repertoire must not overlap, with or without this tradition, the choice of festival dance is a very serious problem. If it's heavy, not only will the examiner and the people be extremely disappointed if they are preconceived, but they will have the impression of the previous preconceived ideas, and no one will want to pay attention to the latecomers at all, and no one will look at it no matter how good the dance is, and the face of that country will be gone.
What's more, Qianqin has not summoned the Divine Revelation for many years, and for other countries that can finally get the Divine Revelation, the dance is heavy, and if the Divine Revelation is successful, it will not hurt the muscles and bones, but for the former Qin, if even the score of the ceremonial official is gone, it is basically a matter of life. It may even end up with the most humiliating zero points.
Everyone in the courtyard is the son of a family, and they all know the seriousness of this problem, so they naturally dare not betray the country in such a big matter. Everyone in the courtyard took a deep breath, raised their hands and swore under Ying Xun's gaze.
Ying Xun breathed a sigh of relief, and then looked at the people around her, "As the princess said, the less people know about this matter, the better, let's continue to agree." β
Everyone said yes, and the discussion around the festival dance reopened.
Countless fierce quarrels rang out from time to time in the small courtyard, but they were all isolated by the barrier. The other former Qin cultivators outside the courtyard left one after another under the escort of the Ye family, and the courtyard was quiet and empty. It wasn't until night fell that the people in the small courtyard of the former Qin stepson squeaked open, and walked out of Huo Zhan and the others who were unwilling or had to obey Huo Zhan and others with complicated expressions on their faces.
"I really didn't expect it......"
"I didn't expect to choose that ......"
"Stepson-sama really listens to her ......"
The teenagers talked as they walked, their faces flushed with heated discussions, and they remembered what had happened in the courtyard and the woman's words slightly.
"But she's right, if we do, we might really be able to surprise the crowd......"
"Shhhh Stop it! You forgot that the eldest prince explained that you will be silenced when you go out! β
The teenagers immediately shut their mouths and left quietly.
Huo Zhan, who had fallen heavily on his feet, took a deep breath, and while thinking about what he had just decided in the courtyard, he walked with a complicated expression.
However, at this moment, a figure suddenly passed out of the corner of his eye.
"Wang Tusheng?"
Huo Zhan frowned and looked at the figure that appeared in the corner of the wall in the distance for some reason, "What are you doing here?" β
