Ming Fang Dance Showcase 鸣放 舞蹈欣赏晚会 (1978)

It is a serious attempt to embellish the poetry through dance and dramatic movements. According to the brief description of the poem, marrying his wife Liu Lan Zhi, virtuous and dignified, but not tolerated by Jiao‘s mother, hence was returned to her mother’s home. Later, brother forced her to remarry the son of the prefecture, and on wedding night Lan Zhi devoted herself to the lake to show her loyalty. Zhong Qing the husband is sad and sorrow, and also hung himself on the garden tree.

The whole play is completed in one go, divided into prologue, sending away, farewell, betroth, ceremony night, and dying for love. The artistic conception of poem is expressed in a flat and straightforward manner, without deliberately exaggerating its grief and sorrow; at the same time, with strong dance feelings, the piece forcefully accuses the unreasonable feudal system.

通过舞蹈及戏剧动作而将诗境具华化，是项吃重的尝试。据诗中题解简述，娶妻刘氏兰芝，贤惠端庄，但不为焦母所容，被遭返母家。后其兄又被威迫兰芝改嫁與太守之子，守盧之夜，蘭芝投身清湖以以表忠忠貞貞。仲卿悲慎胸，亦亦自縊於庭樹。

全劇一氣呵呵成，分序幕、遣媳、送別、下聘、守盧、殉情。以平鋪直敍的的手法來表達詩中的意境，並不刻刻意渲染其悲槍與哀愁；同时，以強烈的舞蹈感情，對不合理的封建制度，予以有力的控訴。

It expresses the spirit of diligence and hard work of sacred workers, and is proud of their contributions to the prosperity of the country. It also shows that today’s women are also an indispensable part of any development.

表現神聖工人克苦耐勞的精神，及對國家繁榮所作出的貢獻而而自豪。從中也表現，今天的婦女，在任何發展中，同樣是不可缺少的一份子。

From borrowing the umbrella at West Lake and the matchmaking of Xiao Qing, the plot started in an orderly manner. On the Dragon Boat Festival, the White Snake went to Kun Lun to steal the fairy grass. Fa Hai took Xu Xian away from her, caused White Snake and Green Snake brought the fish and turtles soldiers, drew the water from the Yang Tze River and rushed into Jin Shan Temple. In the play, the White Snake’s sacrifice for love and her sentiment of not bowing to evil forces are emphasized; the loyalty of Green Snake and the righteous help of the fish turtles soldiers, also reflected Fa Hai‘s cruel, ruthless and ugly humanity.

從西湖借傘，小青撮媒開始，有條紊地展開了劇情。端午現形，白蛇冒死赴崑崙盜仙草，法海從中作梗擄走許仙，以至白蛇青蛇率領魚兵龜將呼風喚雨，引長江水，沖湧金山寺。劇中，強調了白蛇為愛情所付出的犧牲與不向惡勢力低頭的情操；更以青蛇忠心心耿耿的完美形象以及魚兵龜將們的正義相助，來反映出法海的面慈心狠，滿口仁義道德的醜惡人性。

Breaking through the darkness, crossing the cold current, ushering the warmth and hope.

衝破了黑暗，越過了寒流，迎來溫暖與希望。

Reflecting the life of fishermen in the form and effect of stage.

以舞台的形式式和效果，來反映出漁民生活片段。

There are pitfalls everywhere in the society, and ignorant youth suffer a lot. Bad guys use all means to feed themselves up. Once they are deeply addicted to drugs, they will never be in control again. Of course, drug dealers are ultimately restrained. The victims, are to give up drugs and reform. With support from the community, there’s hope.
Everyone is responsible to eliminate drugs.

社會上陷阱處處，無知青年受害良深。不良份子不擇手段以自肥，一旦失足深迷毒癮，再也難逸天生，備受擺佈，下埸不堪設想。當然，天網恢恢，毒販終歸受制囹圄。受害者，惟有决心戒毒，改過自新。社會人仕再給予大力協助，光明仍然在望。

除毒害，人人有責。

Early in the morning, the brothers and sisters drove a cart full of fresh vegetables and rushed to the market. Along the way, they were attracted by the beautiful scenery. Innocently, they dance with butterflies and singing together with the birds until the sun came out. Then only they realize the passage of time, and move on in hurry.

大清早，兄妹倆推着載滿了鮮菜的車子趕着上市擺賣，一路上，他們被沿途的秀麗景色給吸引了，童心末泯力，與蝴蝶藝舞，與鳥兒齊唱，直到太陽露出了雲端，他們才醒覺時間的流逝，急急忙忙地上路。

Cao Zhi was a poet in the Three Kingdoms period. He was taken away by his brother because of his beloved woman, Zhen Jing, who soon died in depression in the palace. Cao Zhi was deeply saddened. Once, he returned to his fief from Kyoto, passed by Luo Shui, and heard about the Luo Shui Goddess Mi Fei, which evoked Cao Zhi‘s memories of Zhen Jing. Apart from sadness, he wrote the famous “Luo Shen Fu” .

The way of expression of the dance starts from Cao Cao‘s stunning and retiring, until Cao Zhi tranced in his sleep to see Concubine Zhen at Ling Bo and looking back.

曹植是三國時的诗人，他因心爱的女子甄静被其兄奪去，甄氏不久在宫中鬱鬱死去，曹植悲痛不已。有次，他從京都回到自己的封地，路經洛水，聽說了洛水女神宓妃的事，勾起曹植對甄靜的思憶，傷感之餘，寫了著名的“洛神賦”。

舞蹈的表達方式，是從曹操驚豔，引退做為開端，直到曹植在睡夢中恍惚見到甄妃在洛水凌波回顧，在雲間敖遊。

From Bai Ju Yi’s “Chang Hen Ge“, the inspiration captured, “…the blue clouds enter from the sky of the beautiful palace, fairy music can be heard everywhere, gently sing and dance closely with the instrument, the emperor does not see enough. Yu Yang war drum beaten, startled the Ni Shang Wu Yi song…”.

In the harem, the maids were still singing and dancing, without realizing the rebellion. In the dance, the choreographer is intentionally or unintentionally revealing the tension and quiet atmosphere before the “storm”.

從白居易的“長恨歌”诗中，捕捉得的靈感，“……驪宮高處入青雲，仙樂風飄處處聞，緩歌慢舞凝絲竹，盡日君王看不足。漁陽鼙鼓動地來，驚破霓裳羽衣曲……”。

後宮裡，宮女仍緩歌曼舞，仍不知叛亂在卽。舞蹈間中，編者正有意无意間，顯露了“山雨欲來風滿樓”的緊張不安與蕭索室息的氣氛。

It brings together the dances elements of four Chinese ethnic minorities Mongolian, Xinjiang, Yi ethnic and Tibet, and faithfully reports and introduces their unique dance style.
