On the evening of June 15th, the classic dance drama "Confucius", which has toured the world for over a hundred times, appeared on the stage of the Kwai Tsing Theatre in Hong Kong, presenting it to Hong Kong audiences as a cultural event series of "Chinese style, national charm, and fragrant river". That night, the brilliant performance of the artists from the Chinese Opera and Dance Theatre received full acclaim. The picture shows the performance scene. This drama uses the power and beauty of Chinese classical dance to bring the audience closer to Confucius and Confucian culture, and feel the profound influence brought by the 5000 year cultural inheritance of China. The opening dance "Holding Feather" reproduces the grand scene of pre Qin music and dance "feather dance"; The male dance "Ode to the Wise" reflects the carefree scene of wise men gathering, meeting friends through literature, and composing poetry and poetry; The women's dance "Picking Weeds" presents a moving scene of the past when willows were green and full of vitality, with the graceful dance movements of the ladies; The classic "Jade Dance" portrays Confucius' ideal moral character of "a gentleman is like jade", praising the noble and introverted personality of a gentleman who is not exposed or obvious. The costumes of the dance drama draw inspiration from the patterns of the painted wooden figurines of the Warring States period, in order to achieve a seamless effect between ancient and modern times. The exquisite tables and beds, as well as the exquisite murals in the background of the Apricot Altar lecture, all restore the magnificent atmosphere of the Spring and Autumn period. The perfect performance of the actors reproduces the tumultuous and persistent life of Confucius, who pursued the concept of "benevolence and propriety" more than 2000 years ago. At the end of the performance, the whole room was boiling with excitement, and amidst the persistent and enthusiastic cheers and cheers, the actors took their curtain calls time and time again. After watching the performance, the audience present expressed deep emotion and great shock. Mr. Chen, a citizen, said, "Confucius is a sage, a great person who has endured hardships and ultimately gained respect. Thank you for coming to Hong Kong to perform." Dance director Kong Dexin, the 77th generation grandson of Confucius, said about the original intention of the play's creation. The play places Confucius in the environment of the times, the country, and nature, expresses his joy, anger, sorrow, and joy with body language, presents his inner and emotional world with rich musical melodies and stage imagery, showcases his Confucianism, personality charm, spiritual traits, and wisdom, and transmits traditional Chinese culture.
