The Most Simple Wish

Qiuhe went back to his courtyard. Under the starry sky, the shabby bungalow, though only a vague silhouette, seemed to be full of vitality.

There was no light in her house at night, no light, no candle. The starry sky is much brighter than anywhere else. Qiuhe understood that because of the pure black of her house, the starlight would be extremely dazzling.

She came to the open space in the yard where she often danced. Start another peacock dance.

Toe down, right leg back to explore, this is a bend. After the right foot falls to the ground, the left leg rises and the back leans back. This is the second bend. Lean forward and make the third bend. After finishing the appearance posture of peacock dance, she suddenly radiated her life like a sculpture revived by mysterious forces. All the next peacock dance movements were completed under the influence of that moment. Or it can be said that it was the butterfly effect caused by that moment that gave birth to another peacock dance.

This peacock dance has become a brand in Qiu He's mind. She hardly needs to do extra preparation to get drunk; You don't have to think about it. When Tao Huizhen asked her to dance, she danced harder than ever. As a whole, there is a rhythm from slow to urgent and from slow to fast. Qiuhe has a long neck and thin wrists. She imitates the peacock's way of drawing water in the forest, and integrates with the old traditional male peacock dance. Her basic skills of dancing are quite excellent, and today she has reached the peak of dancing she can reach. Unfortunately, the accompaniment in her mind lacks the drum beat of elephant's foot drum, and only Bawu and Hulusi are far from enough.

Tao Huizhen didn't dare to blink at Qiuhe. In fact, Qiuhe never left the door of the small bamboo house. The appearance of night only exists in Qiuhe's mind. Tao Huizhen tried not to make a sound. She got up and approached Qiuhe. She carefully observed every superficial movement and the details hidden behind her. Tao Huizhen pursed her lips and stood there expressionless. She did find some problems.

Qiuhe had never been so tired as today. She danced two peacock dances in a row, and there was no pause in the middle. Her sweat flowed to her chin. Tao Huizhen noticed that she also accidentally broke her inherent movement habits and tried to add some elements with tension in her soft dance movements, which Tao Huizhen liked. In addition, it's worth saying that Qiu He's hand is not vague and has a pattern. Imitate the Green Peacock's look, also do very clever, vivid. Whether it's hand bending or arm bending, leg bending, crotch bending. In terms of body movement, as a dancer who has never received any training, she has done it impeccably. It's a pity that she didn't open her eyes. All her movements were completed by closing her eyes, which lacked the "charm" of dance.

Maybe I was too hard on her. The reason why she closed her eyes was just to return to the gorgeous starry sky that only she could feel, or to listen to the best music in her mind. I've seen her eyes dancing, and I've seen her dancing to the beat of the little elephant's foot drum. They all left a deep impression on me. Tao Huizhen thinks so.

The most important instrument of traditional peacock dance of Dai nationality is elephant foot drum. Without elephant foot drum, peacock dance will become meaningless. Verve is the soul of classical dance, and elephant foot drum can also be compared with peacock dance.

At present, the music used in peacock dance is usually cucurbit flute, accompanied by gongs. But that kind of Peacock Dance lacks some "wildness". This makes the dancer's movements tend to be soft when the "Peacock Dance" is excessive. But don't forget, the real wild green peacock, action is always smart with "sudden".

Their movements should not be gradual and step-by-step, but moody and changeable.

The elephant's foot drum is the best instrument to show the peacock dance. Facts have proved that most of the ethnic dances in Dai township can not be separated from the accompaniment of elephant foot drum. The so-called "if there is dance, there will be drum, and if there is drum, there will be dance". Other musical instruments can be replaced by elephant foot drum. But the elephant foot drum is irreplaceable.

Tao Huizhen observes Qiu He's ending dance and thinks that from the perspective of dance itself, Qiu He's impeccable. She's very excellent. She has the qualities and talents that many people don't have. To be sure, Tao Huizhen is more strict with Qiuhe. Especially in dance, Tao Huizhen can see things beyond the surface. Although Qiuhe danced out of the traditional peacock dance of Dai, it didn't change its flavor, and there was no lack of nationality. But the imaginary music buried in the bottom of my heart is doomed to make Qiuhe's dance lose its "mobility", that is, the natural wild nature of peacock. Even if Qiuhe opens her eyes, it immediately reminds people of Green Peacock, even if she is born with Green Peacock.

At this time, Qiuhe finally finished dancing. She danced three peacock dances. She was tired, squatting on the ground breathing, sweat dripping from the side face into the soil.
