Individual Dance Items

Item #1

  • Title:Chang Sheng Dian 长生殿
  • Item Synopsis / Program Notes:

    Sound of Hu drum shocks the sky and An Lu Shan invaded the Central Plains with his troops. In the Hall of Longevity, singing and dancing still remain, not realizing the country is in danger. Love of Qi Xi and tenderness of bathing substituted by drunken anger and broken strings. Is the rain coming? Or it’s dying flash of lucidity! With the sound of the drum, the troops were not send out, three-foot red silk was given and drew hatred.

    胡鼓震天、安禄山举军侵攻中原。长生殿内,笙歌曼舞,犹不觉国难将至。七夕的情长,赐浴的娇慵、醉酒的薄怒,再次交替于弦断的噩兆中。是山雨欲来?是回光返照!鼙鼓声中,六军不发,三尺红綾谱长恨。

Item #2

  • Title:Fang Yuan Jiao 方圆角
  • Item Synopsis / Program Notes:

    Square and square, square and stable, if you find it stereotyped and boring, cut off the four corners to make a circle. The ring is round and smooth, and the reversal is the norm. If it is too normal, cut off the three sides of the circle and it will become a coke. There are edges and corners, and the personality is bright. The corners can show color and are easy to collapse. If you think it is strong, cut off the triangle to form a square. The square is square, round and smooth, and the angled edges are combined with the adult’s sophistication.

    方方正正,四平八稳,若嫌刻板乏味,削去四角即成圆。环圆珠滑,回转复反,乃天地规范,若嫌过分正常,切去圆三边,即成焦。有棱有角,性格鲜明,角可以显颜色,亦易崩缺,若嫌杀伤力强,斩去三角,又成方。方的正,圆的滑,角的棱,结合成人情世故。

Encountering Li Jia, thinking that she would have a life-long trust, and even redeemed herself for good, Li Jia half-heartedly transferred her to the salt merchant Sun Fu for a thousand of silver. Shi Niang was heartbroken! Grabbed her priceless chest – savings that earned by the handbook with blood and tears-a treasure, jumped into river with anger.

    像一株出污泥而不染的莲,杜十娘在京城风月场中,以不屑财势,只慕文才而芳名远播。
