Aesthetic Expression of Folk Dance Works in Modern Beijing Area

摘要

As one of the major categories of dance art, folk dance is a cultural achievement jointly created by people of all nationalities. It not only accumulates the ancient culture but also inherits the national aesthetic psychology and reflects the regional characteristics and integrates spirit of the time through the performance of the dancers. The aesthetic expression of folk dance in modern Beijing is mainly reflected in the admiration and worship of vitality in the dancing works. At the same time, it combines both the spirit of "Confucianism" and the connotation of "Tao" in traditional culture. In admiration and worship of vitality, the folk dance in modern Beijing mainly presents two kinds of aesthetic features: the praise of the power of body and the worship of life force. The cultural connotation of Confucianism and Taoism is mainly reflected in the cultural appeal of "vulgar beauty" and "fairy beauty".
