　　 Singing and dancing interpret the Silk Road

More than 2000 years ago, China opened Trade The ancient road "Silk Road" is thus famous around the world. It serves as a bridge between China, Europe, Asia and Africa. Because a large number of Chinese silk and silk fabrics spread westward along this road, it is called the "Silk Road". The "Silk Road" was formed in the Han Dynasty of China in the first century BC. The southern route of the "Silk Road" at that time can travel west to Afghanistan, Uzbekistan, Iran, Egypt and other countries. The "Silk Road" opened by China is the best witness of the cultural exchange between China and the West, and it is also one of the important world cultural heritage. The Silk Road song and dance performance included the ceremony of Emperor Deng Temple in the prosperous Tang Dynasty, the dance of neon clothes and feather clothes, the dance of Princess Yang, the tribute of envoys from various countries, and the Persian belly dance, which showed the audience the scene at that time.

In the golden age of the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty and Princess Yang walked into the palace during the ceremony of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty ascending the palace. Behind them, two palace maids with banana umbrellas and their officials followed them into the palace, representing the scene of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty ascending the palace. Then, envoys of various countries paid tribute with cloth, coral, agate, folding fan, pipa and other tribute. The Dance of Rainbow Clothes and Feathered Garments is one of the representative works of dance in the Tang Dynasty. It is an artistic treasure with religious awareness and representing fairies. Bai Juyi, a famous poet of the Tang Dynasty, vividly described its dancing appearance in his poem "Nishang Yuyi": Dancer decoration Dressed up as a different secular, beautiful and elegant fairy like figure, her lower body is dressed in a rainbow like light color skirt, her upper body is dressed in a rosy poncho, her head is wearing a walking crown (a kind of hanging beads string, which will sway with the steps when walking), and her whole body is wearing many beads. In the sound of music, with the light and elegant dance steps, dance clothes lightly, first dance gently, and then slowly whirl. "The snow turns in the air, and the dragon is surprised at you; the willow is weak behind the small drop of the hand, and the clouds are ready to live when the skirt is tilted." The dance uses a lot of skills such as dancing sleeves, dancing waist, and rotation, creating a variety of images, fully expressing a feeling of being ethereal. Persian envoys brought their country's dance Persian dance to the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty. The unique Persian belly dance was wonderful, bringing a beautiful visual feast to everyone.

　 "Water color" style parade

Reproducing the "Maritime Silk Road"

China is a country with an ancient civilization. From the Western Han Dynasty, the government of the Han Dynasty opened up a road to the West on land, which historians and geographers call the "Silk Road". In the "golden age of Kaiyuan" of the Tang Dynasty, the Chinese navigation activities entered a prosperous period, and there were relatively stable routes between the southern coastal areas of China, the Persian Gulf and the Arabian Peninsula. In the same period, the overland Silk Road gradually declined, and accordingly, the sea routes connecting the East and the West were increasingly prosperous. Some scholars call it the "Maritime Silk Road". Guangzhou is one of the important seaports of the ancient "Maritime Silk Road". It has experienced the Western Han Dynasty, Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, Sui and Tang Dynasties, Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties, and has a history of more than 2000 years. {page_break}

The "Panyu Water Color", which has been lost for more than 250 years, was seen again in Baomo Garden in 2000, and now it shines again. This year's "water color" has its own characteristics. There are twelve colors, which respectively display the costumes of the Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming, Qing and modern dynasties, as well as various species introduced from the "Maritime Silk Road", symbolizing the journey of the "Silk Road" for more than 2000 years. The "water color" with novel design, beautiful appearance and magnificent colors is rare, and can only be seen in Baomo Garden today. Tourists can not only see the unique "water color" shape parade in Baomo Garden, but also know when the common species were introduced.

The clothing of all previous dynasties in China has changed with the development of the textile industry, for example, in the primitive society, it was just a leaf covered animal skin. After Luozu, the wife of the Yellow Emperor, invented textile, Huang Daopo in the south used plant fiber to teach people to produce more cloth, so that clothes that could only be worn by dignitaries in the past could be shared with the common people. The twelve colors of the "Water Color" parade show the costumes from Tang Dynasty to modern times to tourists in the form of water color.

In the Tang Dynasty, Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty and Concubine Yang came out ceremoniously in Tang Dynasty costumes; Since the Yuan Dynasty was dominated by ethnic minorities, the costumes of the Yuan Dynasty had elements of the costumes of the Mongols, namely, the Jin people; The clothes of the Ming Dynasty like broad gowns and big patchwork. Of course, it will be inconvenient to work, but it is better than ventilation; The clothes of the Qing Dynasty are worn by the actors in the well-known TV play Haizhu Gege. The men's clothes are light and easy, and they can bend their bows and shoot arrows at any time, while the women's clothes are much more elegant. Because the Qing Dynasty liked women's thin feet, it liked to use "stretcher shoes"; In the period of the Republic of China, the men's dress of Han people was Zhongshan suit, but the women still used cheongsam. In the Republic of China period, if the wedding dress was used, most of the men would wear a felt hat, while the women would reuse the Ming style phoenix hat and rosy robe; Modern working people usually wear Tang suits, but the water residents are different, because the water residents have long been dealing with wind and rain and the sea. They like to use potato curd cloth, which is ten feet thick, to make clothes, so as to be wear-resistant, abrasion resistant and easy to dry. Women also wear headcloth, big apron and shrimp mushroom cap.

The Maritime Silk Road has exchanged products, from which China has also introduced many species. For example, corn, sweet potato, cantaloupe, sweet potato, balsam pear, etc. For example, lettuce, spinach, pepper, tomato, onion, Dutch beans, broccoli, watercress, papaya, guava, carambola, pineapple, jackfruit, olive, etc., which we often eat now, are introduced from abroad through the Water Silk Route. In addition, jasmine, jasmine, epiphyllum, peanut, and Dalu banana were also introduced because of the Silk Road. These species introduced from abroad are also vividly reflected in the twelve colors of the "Water Color" tour.
