It can be seen that rhythm is the basis for refining and organizing life as artistic movements. Rhythm is the link to structure dance movements and the through line for the overall layout of dance works. "The same is true for music. Rhythm and beat are also the skeleton of the whole music." In dance works, the dance image is determined by the intensity, speed and energy of the music in conjunction with the rhythm of the music. It deeply and meticulously embodies the inner emotional fluctuations of the characters. Therefore, rhythm is the natural basis for the combination of human body movements and music melody. From a deeper sense, people's rhythmic movements naturally require music to cooperate, so various rhythmic collective labors in the past dynasties have labor chants. Of course, what can be combined with dance is not any music, but music with a distinctive rhythm. Music is inherently easy to combine with other arts, such as drama, film, poetry, etc., but the easiest and must be combined with dance, and the reason is that they have the same rhythm.

The second is lyricism. Both music and dance are good at lyricism, a common characteristic, which allows them to make profound and subtle reflections of various human moods and emotions in artistic works. Of course, they are not as convenient as literature in explaining the origin and end of things and the complicated details of life, and their expertise in lyricism cannot be replaced by literary works. This makes them stand side by side with literature in people's creative artistic activities. It has become an indispensable spiritual food for any nation and any historical era. Dance uses highly refined human body movements as an artistic method to create artistic images. The creation of dance images also comes from life and the author's understanding and feelings about life. The only difference from music is that dance directly presents the artistic image in front of the audience in an intuitive way, allowing the audience to arouse their own emotional excitement and thinking activities through their intuitive perception of the image.

When music and dance exist independently, each uses its own artistic means to play its social role. When their own particularities and limitations make it necessary to combine with each other to produce new art forms, it becomes crucial for music and dance to work closely together, complement each other, and jointly create a perfect artistic image. It's important. In dance dramas and dances, music and dance have the same purpose and task of shaping the same artistic image. Under normal circumstances, the vividness and touchingness of a dance image rely to a large extent on the influence of music on the characters. Depiction of thoughts and feelings. The combination of dance and music forms a complete dance art. The movements and postures expressed in dance are the most beautiful and touching among all things in the world. Combined with the most beautifully organized and beautiful sounds, that is, music art, it will bring people a wonderful artistic enjoyment.

For example, the creation process of the modern dance "Hatha for the People's Liberation Army" is a typical example. The director first determined the theme of "praising the military and civilians' love of fish and water", and then used the popular theme of "Hope Primary School" to create a Tibetan little girl and a group of People's Liberation Army soldiers using the Tibetan "Guozhuang" and "Xianzi" as the main action materials. The image of a warrior. Judging from the design of the main action images. It is undoubtedly typical and innovative for the director to highlight "emotion" in his works. However, body language is often not enough to highlight the new idea of ??"emotion". This requires the cooperation of beautiful and emotional music. The composer creates music based on the work materials and content provided by the choreographer. For example: "·1 ·3 ·2 ·1 6| 5 - - - | - - -" The theme music with Tibetan string style in the dance runs throughout the dance. This theme music is as gentle as water for a while, showing the Tibetan girl The characters of the People's Liberation Army serving tea, pouring water, offering khatas and loving their loved ones are sonorous and powerful at times, showing the working mood of the People's Liberation Army working day and night to build the "Hope Primary School". The seemingly simple music, due to its constant reappearance, allows the audience to appreciate the theme of the deep love between Tibetan and Han soldiers and civilians from the music. Therefore, the music image is fuller and the dance image is more moving.

The reason why this work has received high praise is that in addition to the choreographer's unique conception, the music with rich national characteristics also plays an important role in setting off the dance atmosphere. From the above dance creation method, we can see that dance belongs to the category of "seeing" , there is no point in appreciating dance without "seeing". In addition, it also needs to use "listening" to meet people's sensory needs, and through "listening" to expand the dance appreciation space and regulate emotions. Of course, although music has its own independent expression space, we cannot overemphasize the role of music just because of "listening". Otherwise, the dance image in the dance will be separated from the character image and the dance will lose its due value. We should understand that people do not It’s a simple reason that people go to dance venues to enjoy music.

Therefore, in this sense, it can be said that in the art of dance, music is the sound of dance, and dance is the form of music. One is tangible but silent, the other is sound but invisible. The unity of dance and music is the unity of different modes of expression, the unity of vision and hearing, the unity of form and illusion. And from the overall development process, dance and music can express each other. , promote each other. For example, the above dance can explain the music, and the music can display the atmosphere for the dance, strengthen the style characteristics, stimulate emotions, advance the plot, etc.
