Chapter 43: Dunhuang Tianle

When it was nearly eight o'clock in the evening, Guan Ji put down the repair tools in his hand, took off the glasses on the bridge of his nose and put them in the glasses case on the workbench, and prepared to get out of the cave, but at the moment when he turned around from the scaffolding to the Yongdaokou, his footsteps stopped, and he turned back to look at the north wall.

Chen Qiong is still standing in front of the north wall.

He walked over.

"Take care of your eyes." Chen Qiong opened her mouth first, "Life is bright." ”

Guan Ji pinched his nose bone: "It's time to repair it." ”

The biggest reason is that he wants to complete the restoration of this cave as soon as possible, which is Li Chunhua's unfulfilled wish, but thinking of the request that Chen Qiong made to himself during the day, he didn't say anything.

"What have you been standing here looking at?"

"Bodhisattvas dancing on the mural."

Guan Ji put his hands in his pockets, stood beside Chen Qiong, and also looked like he was seriously appreciating and observing.

Chen Qiong saw that this man didn't mean to speak at all, and bit her tongue angrily, she took the initiative to reconcile in the morning because of Beibi, not because she wanted to say those few words to him!

Taking a deep breath, she let go of the self-control in her heart and touched it lightly with her elbow: "Not going to say anything?" ”

"Didn't you learn classical Chinese dance?" Sekiji had a smile on his face.

Classical Chinese dance is divided into four major schools, the body rhyme school, the Han and Tang dynasties, the Dunhuang genre and the Kunqu opera genre, which will definitely be involved in this aspect.

Chen Qiong rubbed her neck that had been aching for a long time: "In school, we learn the basic skills of the major, body and dance history, but I want to hear what the content is." ”

The basic skills of Chinese classical dance include body rhyme, shape, spirit, strength, and rhythm, because of the profound culture precipitated by China's 5,000-year history, so Shen Yun can be said to be the soul of Chinese dance, and she had a problem with the "Shen Yun" of "body rhyme" in the basic skills at the beginning.

She remembers that there is a mantra that "the form is not moved, the god leads first, the form has stopped, and the god does not stop", and the charm and body must be perfectly coordinated to present the beauty and appeal of classical Chinese dance, because everyone's charm is different, so a dance can bring countless feelings to the audience.

This is the greatest charm of classical Chinese dance.

Shen Yun comes from the dancer's inner emotion, breathing and connotation, as well as the understanding of the dance artistic conception, her inner emotions for Dunhuang are indescribable, so four years ago she played a clever trick, the embodiment of Shen Yun in other places, so that the shape is bigger than God, and the audience only remembers the amazing people on the stage.

It's all helpless, and it's a big mistake.

"Dunhuang" was originally one of the important dance dramas of the National Theater's project to promote traditional culture to the people, but it did not achieve the expected effect that year.

"The whole cave of 501 belongs to the Sutra Variation Painting, which expresses the content of the Buddhist scriptures in the form of painting, so as to achieve the purpose of promoting Buddhism to the public in an easy-to-understand way, and the content of this Sutra Variation Painting belongs to the Western Pure Land Change, and the painter imagines the Elysium according to the Buddhist scriptures."

Guanji University majored in historical philology, and in four years of university, he mainly studied Dunhuang Studies: "The Western Pure Land has become honored by Amitabha Buddha, that is, Amitayus Buddha, who founded the Western Pure Land, and is the master of the entire Western Bliss. ”

Chen Qiong looked up at the others again: "Is the top row Feitian?" ”

"Well, almost all the caves in Mogao Grottoes have flying musicians who sing and dance." Guan Ji laughed, stretched out a hand and held it on Chen Qiong's head and opened it again, "They scatter flowers and play music on it." ”

Chen Qiong couldn't help laughing, compared to the daytime, her eyes were a little different when she looked at the mural: "What about the front of the palace, it is the platform in front of the Amitayus Buddha Lotus Seat." ”

"The dance music on the Dunhuang murals is divided into two kinds of heavenly music and vulgar music, the front is the heavenly music that is very common in the murals, the composition of the heavenly music has the music of the heavens, the King Kong, the flying sky, the Bodhisattva of the music, the lotus music of the children, the Buddha music, etc." Guan Ji tried to be as concise as possible, "Most of them also belong to the Bodhisattva Offerings, offering Buddhas in the Western Elysium, singing Buddhas' praises, and making Buddhas happy." ”

He looked at the beautiful dancing Bodhisattvas: "Because of the opening of the Silk Road, people from all over the world come and go here, so you can see a lot of shadows of Western Regions dance, folk dance and Central Plains dance in Dunhuang dance, such as barefoot is the characteristic of Indian dance, twisting the neck, moving the head and moving the body is the characteristic of Uygur dance, but the Dunhuang dance has its own unique charm." ”

Chen Qiong nodded with a smile, she knew this.

Under the lotus seat, there is a band composed of Bodhisattvas on both sides, each holding different musical instruments, many of which are instruments from Qiuci country, as well as percussion instruments from India, only one or two are Central Plains instruments, and some local instruments of Dunhuang, which is a mixed band of Chinese and Western that is very common on Dunhuang murals.

There are also Bodhisattvas dressed in Yingluo heavenly clothes and shoulder ribbons dancing gracefully in the middle of the band, the Seven Treasure Lotus Pond surrounds them, the Buddha music is all over the sky, the colors are also red and green, gold and black auxiliary, more splendid than the imperial palace, but this is a paradise that has no birth level restrictions, and everyone can enter.

In the society at that time, in a sense, the purpose of promoting Buddhism to the public was indeed indirectly achieved.

"The imagination of these artists is really good."

"But this kind of imagination is not divorced from their real life, most of them are polished and painted into an imaginary Elysium, but it also better reflects the living conditions of the people at that time and the economic prosperity of the Silk Road."

Chen Qiong's eyes were mixed with curiosity, which meant that in a certain music workshop in ancient times, there was a Chinese and Western band playing, and there was also a music dance for the spectators.

She wanted to look at it for a while, but found that it was much darker than before, and it was still there, so she couldn't let him go hungry with her.

At that moment, he rubbed his arms and moved his feet twice: "It's going to be dark, let's go." ”

"Cold?" Guan Ji took Chen Qiong's small actions into his eyes.

"A little." Chen Qiong's previous attention was on the unintelligible mural in front of her, so she didn't feel too much, and now she came back to her senses and felt cold all over, "Maybe it's because the night has cooled down." ”

As soon as the two walked downstairs to the dormitory, they bumped into Zhang Xiaomao running down from the upstairs in a hurry, and he didn't look at the road, but directly crashed into Chen Qiong's arms, and the things he was carrying were knocked to the ground: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry." ”

"Why are you in such a hurry?" Chen Qiong lowered her head, the ground was full of chocolates scattered all over the ground, she squatted down and picked it up first and put it in his paper bag, probably just taken out of the refrigerator, so it was still a little cold, "Take it and throw it away?" ”

Zhang Xiaomao saw that it was Chen Qiong and Guan Ji, said hello with a smile, and then hurriedly bent down to pick it up: "No, there is an aunt's granddaughter in the cafeteria who likes this, I don't like to eat it, and it's useless to keep it on, so I took it to the child to eat, and it just so happened that her son came to see her after delivering the goods tonight, and he was going to leave later." ”

After picking up the scattered chocolates, he immediately stood up and ran out: "I'll go first." ”

Chen Qiong and Guan Ji glanced at each other, it was a very expensive foreign chocolate brand, it should have been bought to give away, but it was not given away, and the original packaging should not have been unpacked, and the aunt in the canteen should not have any psychological burden after opening the original package.

The next day, Guan Ji drove to the city very early, leaving only Zhang Xiaomao and Chen Qiong to eat together, and after the meal, they went to Mogao Grottoes together, on the way Zhang Xiaomao has been surrounding Chen Qiong to ask Tang Yue's news, muttering for more than ten minutes and not knowing that he is tired.

In the end, Master Li was so cooed by this apprentice that he couldn't stand it, and flew directly to the past, he immediately raised his head with his chest and abdomen, and said with a smile that he was thinking about how to imitate the colored sculpture yesterday.

Chen Qiong looked at Zhang Xiaomao who was following Master Li and felt interesting, except for Zhang Xiaomao who had been drunk and cried at the beginning, there was almost nothing unusual these days, but he would occasionally ask a few words about Tang Yue's current situation, but he didn't have any sadness.

The loved one may be a flower to the youth, and the flower is satisfied as long as it is in the world.

Master Li said that he was also very serious about learning statue restoration, probably because Guan Ji talked to him once that night, and heard that he had a strong temper that night, and it made Guan Ji angry, and finally Guan Ji decided to take him to chase Tang Yue at night and let him go to Jinan with him.

And the man who was in the first year analyzed all the benefits and disadvantages from a surreal perspective, and he did not hide the assessment of the research institute, and made it clear that it was his irresponsibility to himself that made Tang Yue afraid.

Zhang Xiaomao should have figured it out, in short, he didn't do anything again.

When Guan Ji came back from the city, he walked directly to Chen Qiong with something in his hand: "Stick it on the knee joint." ”

"Warm baby?" Chen Qiong took out a piece and looked at both the front and back.

"The temperature in the cave is lower than outside, it's a little cold, and it's easy to get arthritis after staying for a long time, aren't you dancing, how can you have problems with your legs." Guan Ji also saw Chen Qiong rubbing his arms yesterday, and only remembered this matter, he was used to it, and his body was hotter than ordinary people, and the coldness he felt was weakened, seeing that Chen Qiong didn't react for a long time, he asked, "I'll help you paste it?" ”

Chen Qiong hesitated for a moment and nodded.

Although it is cold here, it is still within the acceptable range, arthritis should be an occupational disease for many years, she suddenly thought of the old man's bad legs and feet, and he took a wheelchair directly when he came to Mogao Grottoes for the last time.

Guan Ji squatted down and reached out to lift Chen Qiong's ankle-length skirt.

Chen Qiong wore a long-sleeved white shirt with a yellow skirt underneath, and a few small wildflowers dotted on it.

"What are you going to do?" Chen Qiong took a small step back, and the corner of the hemp gauze fabric that had not yet been grasped by the man was quickly liberated.

Guan Ji, who has torn open the outer packaging of the warm baby, looked up with complaining eyes, she immediately reacted, and was a little embarrassed to lift the skirt to the knee, and the man also pasted the warm baby on a little below her knee joint, and then pasted one in the popliteal fossa, in order to make the warm baby stick tight, not easy to lose the stickiness, his broad palm covered it and pressed it.

The tingling sensation also suddenly reached Chen Qiong's brain nerves, making her instinctively want to retract her legs and escape from this feeling.

"Don't move." Guan Ji frowned and grabbed Chen Qiong's ankle, "It's not pasted yet." ”

Chen Qiong didn't dare to move, endured the feeling of making people numb and wanted to laugh, and asked Guan Ji to put a warm baby on both legs, and she couldn't help laughing out loud in the middle.

Seeing Guan Ji's eyes seeking knowledge, she couldn't help laughing and said, "My legs are numb." ”

Removed the word "crisp".

Guan Ji stood up, glanced at the mural behind her, and didn't know where to change a cotton coat to put on her: "You stood here for a day yesterday, and I didn't see you numb." ”

"How can that be the same." Chen Qiong retorted, put together the warm cotton clothes on her body, and looked at the people who had been working here for a long time in front of her, "You're not afraid of arthritis?" ”

"Thicker than you." Guan Ji put the garbage generated by the warm baby into a bag, then tied a knot and threw it in a can for repairing garbage, "It's not good to do repair work in cotton clothes." ”

And now it is far from the extent of wearing cotton clothes, but women should be more afraid of cold.

Chen Qiong pursed her lips: "What to do in winter, it's very cold here in winter." ”
