Although I don't know how I got from that spatial vortex to the demon realm, at least I don't have to worry about Jian Yi's comfort now.

After preparing dinner as always, Jian Zi suddenly found that Tianyu Ji, who had come back a few days ago, was dancing there.

Amaterasu and the others have already reached an agreement with the Katsu God Ranya, but Amaterasu did not follow this time, but personally took Ranya to Takamagahara.

After all, Tianyu Ji has been in the next session for a long time, and he also feels that compared to Gao Tianyuan, he is still in the reed plain. The country is a little better. So I came to Shinjuku alone.

"Ah, yes, speaking of which, I haven't danced this dance for a long time, so take a look at it for me and see if there's any unfamiliar feeling."

Finding that the person who came was Jian Zi, Tianyu Ji did not stop her dancing steps, but continued to dance, while saying to Jian Zi.

"yes, okay."

Although she is an onmyoji, Jian Zi is also the eldest lady of the Tuyumen family after all, so she still knows how to dance traditional Japanese, but as a traditional eldest lady, this thing must be learned.

The culture of dance was introduced from Nara to Heian during the period from foreign countries to the music of the Baekje people taste Mano from there. Guowu Yue area), Yale (Tang Dynasty Yan music) and Sanle (middle. Folk songs and dances, acrobatics, illusions, and operas) have made great progress in the art of Japanese dance.

The medieval Noh was also influenced by the medium. The influence of the national dance and puppet show. The emergence and development of Kabuki in the Edo period opened up a new situation in Japanese dance, and many immortal masterpieces and famous actors appeared.

The history of Japanese dance traces the history of Japanese dance, and as early as the Heian period, there was a "gagaku" that was passed down among the imperial family.

It is a song and dance that Japan has had since ancient times. The unique forms of music, songs, and dances produced by the Buddhist art introduced to Korea and Korea. Performances are still held at the palace even when events are held.

By the 12th century, there was a song and dance called "white beat", in which women dressed in men's clothes sang popular songs of the time and danced to flute and drum music.

By the 14th century, the masquerade that told a certain story, "Noh", was formed. In the 17th century, a woman named "Izumo Akuni" founded an entertainment group and danced kabuki dances in Kyoto, which became popular with the general public.

As a result, the drama "Kabuki" was born, and in the Edo period, dances performed in Kabuki dramas began to develop independently.

In modern times, under the influence of ballet and opera introduced from Europe and the United States, creative activities that break away from the dance framework of Kabuki have flourished, and various new works of "Japanese dance" have been released.

The Japanese dance movement was started by some people who became independent from the kabuki world along with the new Japanese drama. In 1904, Shinkojima was published, which abolished the irrationality and narrowness of Kabuki dance and created a new Japanese dance with artistic and poetic beauty.

However, due to the high intention and large scale of the program created by Pingnai Xiaoyao, it is detached from reality and difficult to realize.

In the Taisho period, Western dance was introduced to Japan, and a new dance movement really began. The "Shade Meeting" organized by the first generation of Yin Jingzhi ignited the fire of the new dance movement.

According to the . The dance "Sifan" created and performed by the national Kunqu opera "The Legend of the Sea of Evil" had a huge impact.

Since then, Ichikawa Saunosuke, the 5th Nakamura Fukusuke's "Hagoromo Society", Hanyanagi Shousuke's "Hanyanagi Dance Research Association", and Hanyanagi (Gojo) Suzumi's "Sumikai". Hanagi Shoumi's "Dawn Meeting" and so on.

New dance organizations were formed and a new type of dancer was created. At this time, the dance also began to be influenced by Russian ballet, and the accompaniment of Western instruments was used, and there was a group dance.

In addition to the adaptation and staging of "Sifan", new dances such as "Worm", "Woman and Shadow", "Harunshin Fantasia", "Ainu God", and "Melody of Taikoko" were also created and performed.

The original Japanese dance was used for rituals, called kagura, and was based on the movements of conjuring, calming spirits, and praying.

It was developed based on the prayer dance of the "god possession" of the Teniwa Yado and Tenden women's lives described in the famous works "Kojiki" and "Nihon Shoki".

is the dance that Tianyu Ji is dancing now, after all, the protagonist in the ancient chronicles is herself.

This dance was originally performed by shrine maidens (yunu) in the next session, but later it was also performed by men (yuo).

This dance in primitive societies was divided into two types: regular and irregular, depending on the sacrificial activities.

Regularly related to hunting, farming, etc., depending on the season and season; It is held irregularly due to life and death, disasters, marriages, and wars in the world.

In the feudal era, the imperial court established the Kagura, and the position of shrine maiden was replaced by a male priest. The folk kagura is called village kagura or satokagura.

The prayer dances such as "On" and "Sanbansu" that still exist today retain the traditions of ancient kagura.

At present, there is a shrine maiden dance at the Oki Island Yakini Volcano Shrine in Shimane Prefecture, during which two shrine maidens wear a celestial crown, wear white clothes, and dance with fans to invite the gods to come.

Accompaniment instruments include drums, cymbals, etc. Kagura was widely spread among the people, and later it was also included in folk performances.

After that, it is Yaraku, also known as dance music, which is the music and dance of the Japanese court during the sacrifice and swallow enjoyment. The meaning of Yale in ancient Chinese dances is different.

Japanese gagaku includes the unique Japanese music and dance of the horse and the chant. In addition, there are Sanhan music, Bohai music, Lingle, Tang music (Sui and Tang Yan music), scattered music (Botou, Lanling Wang) and music and dance of the Western Regions countries such as Tianzhu music, Linyi music, Duluo music and so on.

Emperor Bunmu set up the Yale Liao, and after that, the Yale was divided into two parts, the left part was Tang music (including the music and dance of the Tianzhu and Western Regions systems), which were:

"Spring Oriole", "Long Live Music", "Taiping Music", "Emperor Breaking Array Music", "Peach and Plum Blossom", "Playing Ball Music", "Mulberry Picking Lao", "Emperor Deer" and so on.

On the right, there is Goryeo music and dance, and it includes Lim Eup, Baekje, Silla, and Balhae music. Gao Lile includes: "Butterfly", "Yan Xile", "Lin Song", "White Shore" and so on.

Bohai music has "Ayaki", "New" and so on.

These dances were gradually nationalized in Japan in the middle of the Heian Dynasty. During the Nara period, the court set up a karaku-ryo and a rakakso, and placed musicians and musicians and musicians. On the left is the clan (commoner); On the right is the Duo clan (courtiers) in charge.

A hereditary system is introduced. During the Muromachi period, the Muromachi Rebellion caused the musicians to scatter and the tradition to be interrupted. The revival of the Edo period. In the fourth year of the Meiji era, the Sanfang Gaku Center was disbanded, and the musicians were recruited by the orchestra club of the Imperial Household Ministry (now the Imperial Household Agency), and the Gagaku continued. The Imperial Household Agency still performs gagaku.

Since ancient times, Yale dance has been passed down from generation to generation, so it is called a secret tradition. The scope has now been expanded. The dance rhythm is slow, and the movements are different from ordinary Japanese dances, and it retains postures such as "sword fingers" and "horse riding and squatting crotch pose", and its footwork is unique. Most of Yale's music has three sections: "prelude", "break", and "urgency".

The percussion instruments used are the big drum, cymbals, and drums on the left; On the right, there are large drums, cymbals, and three drums. Wind instruments include the flute, the sheng, the transverse flute, the goryeo flute, and the kagura flute. Stringed instruments include: the music zheng, the music pipa, and the qin.

And then there's the music, which is from it. Music and dance that came to Japan from the Kuniwu region (around Jiangsu Province) and the Western Regions (around Xinjiang).

According to the "New Surname Record" of the Qin Dynasty in Japan, it is recorded:

"From the Kingdom of Wu, there is a statue of Buddha; Trick Dispatch One"

When the ancient emperor pushed the Baekje people to taste Mono from it. Guo Wu Yue learned to play tricks and passed them on in the Japanese court.

According to the Kamakura period's "Lesson Copy", there are 9 types of music, including Shizi, Wu Gong, Garuda, King Kong, Boloman, Kunlun, Lux, Dagu (Lao Weng Noodles), and Drunken Hu.

There are three types of musical instruments: flutes and three drums, and there are three types of musical instruments, and Shosoin has a musical mask and a musical costume that opens the eyes of the Great Buddha of Todai-ji Temple in Tenpei Katsuho Nian.

Today, the Shitennoji Holy Spirit Society in Osaka still retains its traditional music. Shishi (lion dance) was very popular among Japanese folk dances, and later developed into a folk dance with local characteristics.

"Taikagura" is a kind of lion kagura, in which two people wear lion skins and wear lion heads and dance, and later they are accompanied by performances such as opera and acrobatics.

The "stone bridge" system in Noh is the lion dance, which developed in Kabuki as:

"Mirror Lion", "Xiangsheng Lion", "Ying Persistent Lion", "Three-person Stone Bridge", "Even Lion", "Pillow Lion" and so on.

"Mirror Lion" is composed of two parts, the first part is a female dance, and the second part is a lion spirit playing among peonies and butterflies, and the dance also shows the lion's sleeping and washing hair, and other playful movements, which has become a popular Japanese dance repertoire.

Kabuki, on the other hand, is based on the chanting of the Buddha dance and the folk collective dance of the Izumo region:

"Kabuki in the women's courtyard, Izumo people are cloudy, and the women's royal dance is also the gossijo."

This is the earliest document.

Kabuki incorporates elements of traditional dance and modern customs. Later, it was based on the technique of "human shape vibration" and the "scenery thing" Taoist dance in the human shape pure glaze.

For this reason, it is generally believed that Kabuki has a history of "dance" before and a history of "odori" from Kabuki. Its dance is characterized by the combination of three elements: "dance", "enthusiastic" and "vibrating" (model).

"Dance" is a classical "can" technique, elegant and subtle; "Enthusiast" mostly has the characteristics of folk dance, which is vivid and lively; And "vibrating" is a dramatic action.

The organic combination of the three elements has become the characteristic of Kabuki. Kabuki is a form in which the singer does not dance and the dancer does not sing, and the musician sings. The accompaniment instruments are mainly shamisen. Dance music is composed of three sections: "out", "middle" and "in"; The accompaniment music includes "Changbei", "Jingliuli", "Changpanjin", "Qingyuan", "Yidafu Tune" and so on.

During the period from Genroku to Kuho, there were famous Kabuki teachers such as Right Kingen Samon, Mizuki Tatsunosuke, Hatsushi Segawa Kikunojo, and Hatsushi Nakamura Tomijuro.

There are immortal masterpieces such as "Coastal Road", "Gun", "Seven Transformations", "Daocheng Temple", "Stone Bridge", "Lu Niang" and so on.

Since then, Kabuki has developed into a form of performance based on dankaku, but there are also very famous male dances, such as the dance drama "Seki-no-kazuma" created by Nakamura Nakazo in the early days.

Since the period of Kansei, a new type of dance "change" has been introduced. In the play, a dancer plays several roles, most of which perform dance sketches with rich variations.

There are "Heron Niang", "Niang", "Six Song Immortals", "Echigo Lion" and so on.

In particular, market-style dances such as "Offering Slaves", "Selling Dango", "Corn Cake", and "Kanda Matsuri" are more widely circulated.

In the early Meiji period, famous artists such as the 4th Nakamura Shiba and the 9th Ichikawa Danjuro appeared. In recent years, there have been the 7th Sakato Mitsugoro and the 6th Oueki Kikugoro.

After being separated from Kabuki by Kabuki Shinshi, Kabuki gradually developed into a multi-genre dance.

At present, there are more than 300 genres, mainly Shigayama-ryu, Ma-ryu, Nishikawa-ryu, Hanayanagi-ryu, Nakamura-ryu, Banto-ryu, and Azuma-ryu.

The genres are largely the same in terms of programming, but there are significant differences in the treatment of dance. The older Shiga Yama Stream and the Interstream stream have a slightly slower tempo and larger movements, while the new Hanayanagi Stream and Wakayanagi Stream have a slightly faster rhythm and delicate movements.

Among these genres, the famous Shin deputy teachers are Hanayanagi Shouraku, Nishikawa Ogizo, etc., and the famous actors are the first Hanyanagi Shoumi, the first Kashizai Shizue, the first Nishizaki Midori, Hanyanagi Shousuke, Hanyanagi Shounan, Hanyanagi Teuna, Hanayasu Shika, Gojo Sumi, Mazuki Hideki, Azuma Tokuho, etc.

Finally, Kami-dan, a popular local song and dance, was developed in the theaters of the Edo period, at the same time as Kabuki-dani was born in theaters in the Kyoto-Osaka area.

There are schools such as the Tsukasa stream, the Inoue stream, the Yoshimura stream, and the later Shigeto stream.

The upper dance moves are refined, subtle and elegant. In terms of technique, I absorbed the gentleness of Noh and the movements of the human-shaped Joruri (bunraku) and Kabuki "Zhen".

Famous dancers include Yachiyo Inoue, Takehara Yaki, Yoshimura Yuki, and Shimoto Rikuhei.

Because Japanese dance was basically formed in the Edo period, the customs of that time have been preserved to this day.

Depending on the role, the kimono, wig, straw sandals, and geta also look different. Before they can officially perform on stage, the performers first put on makeup.

In Japanese dance, the face, neck, back, and fingers are painted white, and a brush dipped in white powder dissolved in water is applied to the body.

After applying makeup, put on your costume. Put on your kimono shirt first, and then ask someone to help you put on your kimono. Just put on the wig at the end.

A variety of props are used in Japanese dances, such as hand towels, fans, knives, umbrellas, and walking sticks.

Fans designed in Japan during the Heian period are still a necessity for Japanese dance. In the process of dancing, there are various ways to use fans, turning fans, etc.

Its patterns also vary depending on the repertoire performed.

And the Kagura dance that Tenyuhime is dancing now is the fan dance. (To be continued.) )
