"Nu dance is a way to communicate with heaven, earth, ghosts and gods since ancient times."

"In the Zhou Dynasty, it began to be explicitly incorporated into the ritual system, the court had a national nu, and the local area had a rural nu, and the ceremonial system of the national nu was followed until the Yuan Dynasty, because the Mongols had different beliefs, and it was briefly canceled."

"The Ming Dynasty had a restored palace, but the Qing Dynasty began to completely cancel it, and only the folk townsmen remained."

"It is now preserved as a folk custom."

"The more prosperous ones are the British songs and dances in Guangdong, the official generals in Fujian and Taiwan, the Mulian opera in Zhejiang, and in our local area, there are also Meishan operas."

"These are teachers and students from the dance department of the normal school."

"Teacher Ren Qiuping, everyone in folk dance, is also very good at studying Nu dance."

Chen Menglong invited a group of teachers and students from the Normal University from Jiangcheng to Baling, and then entertained them in a private club, where Lu Wenming shook hands with the teacher of folk dance after hearing the introduction.

Ren Qiuping looked at Lu Wenming's figure and pinched his bones again.

said: "Within two days, I am afraid it will be more difficult to learn to be a person, he has no dancing skills." ”

"The movements of traditional Nu dance are not complicated, but Shen Yun is difficult to express."

"You have to be very advanced in dance skills to show that kind of beauty, if you practice with modern choreography mixed with Nu dance elements, it will take seven or eight days to barely show your hand."

Lu Wenming nodded and said, "I won't mention it for the time being." ”

"Can Teacher Ren take his students and choreograph a sacrificial dance in two days?"

"You don't need to completely replicate the dance."

"As long as it's like that, with the fireworks, the scene, there's that kind of atmosphere."

Ren Qiuping said confidently: "This is no problem, my students have just studied with me for more than half a year, and they will prepare a dance show at the orientation party at the beginning of school next year." ”

"A lot of the movements and elements are ready-made."

"All you need to do is make it up."

"Also."

"Let me ask, this performance, there is no video recording, right?"

Chen Menglong affirmed: "No." ”

Ren Qiuping nodded: "That's no problem, I worked as a dance consultant in a crew last year, and there is a dance part in it, which is still a super-large national dance." ”

"There's a kind of dance performance in it, I'll change the movement a little bit and I can teach you."

"But there's a requirement for secrecy, which is that you can't leak those actions into any video recordings before the movie is released."

Lu Wenming couldn't help but wonder which movie was so professional.

Ren Qiuping replied: "It's a new "Romance of the Gods". ”

This is a private club in the style of a landscape manor, Chen Menglong is one of the shareholders, arranged here, Ren Qiuping and his students can enjoy life comfortably, and there are also many venues for rehearsals.

The costume chosen by Ren Qiuping and Lu Wen is not the right dress after the Zhou Dynasty, but a costume with shamanic elements in multiple furs, or a costume that is closer to the feeling of "witch".

Then another veteran craftsman who specializes in mask folklore came to the door.

Come with a whole shelf of masks.

"Picky?"

Ren Qiuping was happy to see the hunting, so she went to admire all kinds of masks by herself, and asked Lu Wenming to choose by herself, Lu Wenming looked around, and finally chose a raccoon cat mask with a crimson outline pattern that was not so in line with the "etiquette system".

At this moment, he was wearing the costume of a witch, and he looked a little delicate in the wild.

After wearing a tanuki mask, it has a unique beauty.

"It's a good fit."

"The ritual is a sacrifice to mountain ghosts, right? I remember that Qu Yuan's "Mountain Ghost" has 'riding a red leopard and following the civet cat', the mask of this civet cat, which makes you feel like a mountain elf. ”

Seeing that Lu Wenming was half of his face covered by a tanuki, Ren Qiuping admired it very much.

I think this is a beautiful boy with a unique temperament.

"I'm looking forward to your dancing." A woman like her who is engaged in art is actually very picky, Lu Wenming's appearance is not very good, but her temperament is really rare for her.

So compared to before, her interest in teaching dance really came up.

The choreography of the witch is first of all a bit "treacherous".

The amplitude of the body must be different from the beginning, with the body low, the arms outstretched, and the body driven by the rhythmic changes of the limbs, among which there are some techniques of mechanical dance.

Originally, Ren Qiuping was worried that Lu Wenming's bones were relatively stiff and he had no dancing skills, so it would be very difficult to learn.

But that kind of rhythm, Lu Wenming seems to be familiar with it by nature.

His movements may not be so in place, but just memorize the movements, and after choreographing them twice, the charm that belongs to the witch can be well released.

Or rather.

This kind of dance actually does not require much movement, the dancer expresses the charm through the movement, and some people use the movement to convey the inherent charm at will......

"Great!"

"I find a lot of inspiration in you, and I feel like my choreography is going to the next level!"

"Lu Wenming, you are really a genius!"

Ren Qiuping praised very happily, if it weren't for Lu Wenming's study of history, he really wanted to pull him to learn dance, the foundation was not enough to practice, but this kind of charm, others can never make up for it.

After Lu Wenming finished dancing, he felt the feeling when he just started dancing.

How so......

He has a feeling of being moved by invisible qi, as if no matter how he dances his body, he has a sense of smoothness, even when he jumps up and dances and spins, he will feel that his body is extraordinarily light......

After coming into contact with Zhao Qingxue, he knew that there were four kinds of witches.

Witches who worship gods, witches who welcome gods, witches who pretend to be gods, and ...... The Witch of the Gods.

Dance, especially the Nu dance, is a form of pleasing to the gods, in the modern Fujian and Taiwan regions, many such as the "Nine Heavens Xuannu" out of the patrol, those beggars welcome the car, but also mostly dance, along the way is also a variety of dances.

Lu Wenming can be sure that when he dances, there is nothing on his body.

It is better to say that that kind of charm comes from the power of "scientific instruments".

After he accepted the mask, although he was not yet a witch dressed as a god by the mountain ghosts of Wushan, he actually already had the characteristics of a considerable "witch", and according to his association with the mountain ghosts, when he danced, he was indeed a "scientific ritual".

Because of the learning and experience of Nu dance.

Lu Wenming had a feeling that although he was not a witch of the mountain ghosts, there should be no one in this world who was more qualified to embody that charm than him......

……

After Chen Menglong saw Lu Wenming's dance, he thought that no matter whether what Lu Wenming said was true or not, he believed that Lu Wenming was a witch who pretended to be a god of the mountain ghosts.

He went out of his way to learn something about witchcraft.

Then I understood that this kind of witch who pretends to be a god is not so much a witch as the heir of a mountain ghost......

In addition to being shocked, he became more and more optimistic about Lu Wenming.

After returning home, Chen Menglong saw that his daughter was depressed, so he smiled and said, "Why, I didn't find Lu Wenming?" ”

Chen Youyou said angrily: "Hmph! Obviously, you didn't tell me, Dad, and you talked cool things here, I won't pay attention to you anymore. ”

"Really?"

Chen Menglong sat down and said with a smile: "If there is a temple fair the day after tomorrow, I have already made an appointment with Lu Wenming for you?" ”

"Really?! Thank you Dad! ”

Chen Youyou was overjoyed, Chen Menglong just touched her head dotingly.

……

After Hou Liang received the call, he said to Butcher Cui: "It's done, the temple fair has been arranged, and the information of the temple fair has been leaked to the boss's daughter, she has a good relationship with Lu Wenming, and has decided to invite Lu Wenming to visit the temple fair." ”

"There are a lot of wandering gods and ancients dressed up in the temple fair, and you will play them when the time comes."

"When Lu Wen's life arrives, we will besiege him together."
