What's the name of the masquerade ball in Japan?

When I can talk a little about Japanese songs and dances, I think of kabuki in kimono, with thick bun and pale face. This impression comes from a few Japanese novels and movies. In Japan, there is a kind of dance art similar to China Nuo, namely Nenglie, which is also the oldest professional drama in the world. In 200 1 year, Nanle was listed as the intangible cultural heritage of mankind by UNESCO.

Energy rate is a typical Japanese classical dance. Because of its mystery, it is loved by the upper class. Some people call it the art of ghosts, which shows the dialogue between people and ghosts. Teacher Dong Xijiu, a doctoral supervisor of Dance School of China Academy of Fine Arts, went to Japan to study classical dance on 1984. Regardless of her 80-year-old age, she spent an afternoon enthusiastically introducing the Japanese energy rate to us, and happily wrote an article for readers in Foshan, telling her feelings about seeing the energy rate in Japan 2 1 year ago.

The Nuo dance performance, which originated in China, was always called the ape performance before the Meiji government was established. This is a kind of comic performance and dialogue art which was founded and developed on the basis of absorbing Chinese folk music and Tang Sanle.

Medieval energy was slightly influenced by China's Nuo dance and puppet show. /kloc-in the 3rd century, Kanami and Simi and his son founded the energy rate with singing and dancing as the main body on the basis of their predecessors. Nenglou was highly respected by the rulers at that time and became the court art favored by the upper class. 1603, the edo shogunate designated nenglo as court music, and folk were not allowed to perform without authorization. At that time, people regarded reading Nale Taiwanese books as a cultural accomplishment.

The leading role of Nenglie wears a mask, playing a young woman with a small face, an old man with an ugly face, and ghosts and gods. Masks that can be abbreviated are very precious. It is not for sale in the market, but it can be seen in museums. In order to show the world of ghosts and gods, actors perform virtual performances through masks, covering their faces with their hands to show sadness and tears, or slightly lowering their faces to show sadness. For people who have never been exposed to energy, masks are the best way to understand it.

Ornamental performances can be divided into face-to-face performances (without masks) and masked performances. Usually only the protagonist wears a mask. Energy planes are carved from cypress trees, many of which have a history of 500 to 600 years. The uniqueness of being able to sleep is that it has "two diametrically opposite expressions of sadness and smile", some of which can look like smiles, but the corners of the eyes are like tears; Some people may look sad, but their lips overflow with a peaceful smile. The intersection of sadness and joy has expanded the performance space of musicians.

Like masks, bright and luxurious clothes are also famous. This is in stark contrast to the bare stage and rigid movements. The protagonist's costume is as thick as five stories, and there is a coat made of cotton satin. The actor wears this dress with dignity and dignity. In some performances, adding red or white wigs has an extraordinary effect. The only background of all the programs in Nello is pine trees.

It is said that many of the more than 240 kinds of tracks preserved by Nenglo show the dialogue between people and ghosts. The protagonist in the play is a girl who died of depression because of love, a young woman who was cursed and turned into a snake, and an undead who died in the war. Because of this, Nengli is also called the art of ghosts and gods.

A man's artistic musician is the soul who can appreciate music. They are all men and enjoy a high status in Japan. For example, the 26th generation of Guan and He of Guan are the key protection objects of the Japanese government. A talented musician like him began to learn from his teacher at the age of three or four. The teacher never explains the lines, just passes them on from mouth to mouth, and only imitates every move. Guan Shih-ching once said: "Put on the energy face of 600 years ago and the energy suit of 500 years ago. Breathing and sweat are integrated with our ancestors, and no one dares to slack off."

There are five schools of music: Guan Shi, Jin Chun, Bao Sheng, King Kong and Xiduo. Nengji has a wide range of applications, including folklore, the story of Genji and the historical story of China. China's historical dramas include Bai Letian, Dong Fangshuo, Yang Guifei and Xiang Yu. Teacher Dong Xijiu was suddenly moved when he watched Mr. Xi Duochang's performance "Yang Guifei" in Japan. This feeling is still clear today after 20 years.

The performance of energy rate, mixed with "crazy talk", is a short cross talk to adjust the audience's mood during the intermission of energy rate performance. Later, "crazy talk" slowly appeared on the stage independently.
