Whether it is today or in ancient times, music and dance are essential for people in every era. Even in a war-torn society with extremely poor public security, people are still willing to use music, dance and other methods to express their feelings. So in the Ming Dynasty, when all aspects of the institutional system were extremely strict, how did music, dance, and other pleasures that only aristocrats could enjoy become more refined and popular in the Ming Dynasty? 1. Make entertainment activities popular.
In order to allow themselves to enjoy this kind of fun, the common people of the Ming Dynasty made some small changes in these entertainment activities, from those very rigid aristocratic entertainments to those that can be enjoyed by the masses. Acceptable entertainment culture. To put it another way: those literary books that were out of reach for the ancients have become novels that everyone has in their hands. ?From class entertainment to mass entertainment, from individual enjoyment to public enjoyment. At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, it can be said that in the eyes of ordinary people, music was something that could only be heard once in half a lifetime. Except for those folk songs created by people themselves, some other music was controlled by the imperial court. If you want to hear music, you can only hear these sacrificial music when some important officials of the imperial court pass away. Music has always been something people want to explore and explore. Later, the Ming Dynasty government began to gradually relax, and then people were able to gain the right to listen to music. 2. Dance.
Although during the Ming Dynasty, the government did not control dance as strictly as music. However, during the Ming Dynasty, dancers were taught by dedicated people, and during some important festivals in the court or palace, they were used by the kings and the court. The ministers here watched. Even if the daughters of ordinary people want to dance, they do not have the conditions and opportunities to get into dance. Later, when the policy was relaxed, people began to choreograph their own dances and danced at major folk festivals to express their joyful mood.
In the era before electronic products, the ancients used their own methods. Letting the emotions in one's heart be released is probably the charm of art.
