Tang Dynasty Dance

[wgh999]

Nice capture =]

[alicewxy2]

It's mimicing TaGe, which is a dance describing girls in Han Dynasty...here they added some Tang dance elements, but the costumes are still for Han Dynasty...making it a bit mixed..............

追申。服飾唐三彩風。舞踊中央亜細亜風。音楽西洋式。日本雅楽元­大陸唐楽曲。要参考。残念。日本旧東洋文化遺産在豊富。再見。

[mount922]

not Tang dynasty. more like east-Jin dynasty and north-south dynasties which just before Sui and Tang dynasty. but the song is Han dynasty style

[mybach1960]

@520adda thank you very much. you are wanderfle. thank you. very intelligence!

[sunuannuan]

Truly its not the original Tang Dynasty dance but the movements are adapted from frescos. Mainland China has devoted effort to modernize Chinese culture and innovation is a good thing. But I should say it is a pity that our ancient culture is left unpreserved and it is the communist government's fault. If you wanna see authentic Chinese culture go to Taiwan.

[MrHalohalo85]

Beautiful costumes, but not in anyway the original Tang dynasty music or dance.

The Dance show is nothing more than a modern-showbiz inaccurate version of history.

The original tang dynasty music was similar to Korean A'ahk and Japanese Gagaku music.

I don't know why Modern China must feel they have to mess with their historical heritage for bucks: Japan, Indonesia, India, Vietnam and Korea sure don't and they're respected worldwide for preserving their ancient cultures.

@MrHalohalo85 I think it has been already been established by myself and everyone the level of authenticity of the dance. No reason to beat a dead horse. I think you also overstate other cultures versions of dance. I've been to many cultures including the ones you state and they do similar stylized performances. Besides who do you think the Koreans and Japanese where influenced by .

[MultiYoisi]

@ALTPhotoImages he never said that korean and japanese weren't influenced by chinese. he was just saying that the tang chinese were more similar to the japanese and koreans and that this dance is not tang chinese dance.....:P

@ ground hog 041  さん。説明不足でした。日本人も、実は一文字姓なのです。

藤原は、藤氏、つまり、発音は、TO 、となります。唐と藤は、日本語の暗号

なのです。私も、藤原家の末裔でです。

[520adda]

@mybach1960  U are right

[mybach1960]

私、日本人 です

皆さんは、誤解しています。

唐王朝= 藤(原)王朝= 日本国建国王  天皇= 和国王朝

唐王朝・文化、文明= 日本国・文化、文明

唐王朝時代= 日本国奈良時代

中国、漢服= 日本、和服

中国= 日本

@mybach1960

you are crazy

[LeninMarxMao]

@mybach1960 Thumbs up for friendship.

[rongcon]

what is the title of the song??

[ALTPhotoImages]

@rongcon Sorry they didn't give the title of the song and I don't know it.

[miamichick305ify]

they dance gracefully and beatifully it reminds me of mulan

[hanqiangycl]

agree with linxiaoshu, this dance is not from Tang dynasty but Nanbei Dynasty (literary translation: SouthNorth dynasty).

[ALTPhotoImages]

@hanqiangycl I don't think anyone is really debating the authenticity of the dance. It is simply the name the performers gave it.

[LeninMarxMao]

@mannysea Good explanation. Here's a translation of your post " It is a dance of spring "Yang Chun March", performed by a group of young ladies who sing and tap with their foot for rhythm, i.e. "Ta Ge". Popular dance in both the royal court and among folks. Dance needs exaggerated twisting of the body for 3D effect. It has been lost, but some forms of "Ta Ge" survive among the border region folks. This performance is based on info from available ancient relics. Lyrics about romance.

这不是满族发型，发型是晋代的。他们穿的衣服叫“杂裾垂髾”舞蹈­和衣服风格都是晋代的。抱歉，我这样说不知能否看懂，但我用的是­自动转换成中文，我的话大概也能被转换成英文吧：)

[ALTPhotoImages]

@ouyangyuxi6 The translation for this is: This is not the Manchu hairstyle, hair is in the Jin Dynasty. The clothes they wear is called "hybrid garment hanging Shao, " dance and clothing styles are in the Jin Dynasty. Sorry, I say I do not know whether to read, but I used is automatically converted into Chinese, I would probably now be converted into English

[ArchKW]

it looked as if they don't have arm...sorry 

[linxiaoshu]

no, that is from dynasty of nanbei chao.....

[TheTrueReflections]

Just visited china and i got a very good impression of chinese people culture, history and hospitality. They are very nice, beautiful and loving people.

I love their music and dance, I am looking forward to my next trip to china too and i would advise all of you to make a trip to china and have a chinese impression. One thing more, china is very cheaper wrt tourism.

[kyrsten411]

the song is beautiful ^^ what is it called?

i also like the way the women treat their sleeves, it is very delicate and natural, lovely

[macyair]

I'm not sure of the exact title of the song, but this song is always used for a certain dance. Look up "Ta ge" and you will find it. :)

[stimsWonderland]

the hairstyle is manchu?

[occeo]

I think Tang style as the dance was from that period.

[Krummablod]

No but it looks a bit like from far ^^

[doodoo1901]

[Hyperknuck1]

[peter82k]

both han dynasty and tang dynasty was regarded by historians as a rich super powerful kingdom in Chinese civilization,In Chinese history, the Tang Dynasty was largely a period of progress and stability

[dancingcat87]

hmmmm i thought it was from han dynasty

[ALTPhotoImages]

I"m not an expert, just going by what the program said. :)

[imogenheap12345]

No its no for the han dynasty was my centuries later and also it has to by the tang dynasty because thats when art, music, and technology flurished and telling also by the way they dress is a tang dynasty dress because of the light and long material sleeves. also to i went to china and went to xian and it was the onld capital of china during the tang dynasty and maybe other dynasties also there for it's not from the Han dynasty but its the Tang Dynasty.

[kebilu]
