踢踏舞里的春节晚会::[杂文|Misc]

时差原因，没有看直播，倒是先看了网上的评论，看见了格子的评论就急着去找那个爱尔兰踢踏舞的视频，功夫不负有心人，终于一睹了芳容。

下面是格子的评价：

喜欢那个舞之魂的踢踏舞表演。蓝眼睛的爱尔兰姑娘脸上有中国姑娘永远都不会有的表情。一种凌人而不慑人的美。一种锐利的、直白的、强悍的呈现。两个字。气势。不曲折，不收缩，也不躲闪。

如果我没有记错的话舞之魂舞蹈团以前曾经出现在中央台的，具体跳的是什么我已经记不清楚了，不过这次细致看了几遍后，真的不得不同意格子的观点了。

蓝眼睛的爱尔兰姑娘为什么看起来那么单纯，那么自信。从她们的眼睛里，你看到的是清澈，没有一丝的造作，在中国的新年里，她们的眼睛里望到的是透明的欢乐，没有一丝压力的那种放松，甚至放纵的眼神，直透她们的心里，我们有过这样的眼神吗？

我们的姑娘是不是背负了太多的压力呢？社会的，家庭的，亲人的，朋友的，甚至更多的是来自于自己的。在我们的姑娘的眼睛里，我看到更多的是社会地位，工作，公寓住宅，轿车，读书，奋斗以及男友的身价，这个社会已经彻彻底底在变革的节奏里改变了我们，不但是中国姑娘。

赵薇，变漂亮了还是美容了？不过穿着一个被子（或者像挂了一个大袋子）的确是我不能接受的那种服装前卫的设计。明显的假唱怎么连用力都不想用力啊？至少也要让观众觉得比较竟业才行啊。

齐秦，真得是宝经沧桑的样子，不过不是很明白他来这个很乱哄哄的晚会里参和的理由。

春节晚会我最烦的倪萍倪大妈还在，且不说你的煽情让我觉得难受，再说你做了那么多年的主持，也该将这个主持的位置让给儿子辈，女儿辈的人了吧？

据说，导演袁德旺的一句丧气话已被当成名言来传播。他说：“其实春节晚会只不过是比平时的电视节目明星多一些，时间长一些，工作人员多一些，仅此而已。” 我想他说的应该是没有太大的出入吧。

SMU to celebrate Chinese New Year

The celebration of the Chinese New Year is one of, if not the most important days of the year in Chinese culture, both in Asia and across the world. To celebrate, SMU is doing its part to bring some of the spirit and traditions of this holiday to campus.

“[This] is the time for Chinese people to celebrate the new year within the whole family and get ready for the coming year’s work,” said Chinese Student Union President and engineering graduate student Tian Qi Zhao. “It has a history of hundreds of years.”

SMU is hosting two events in order to introduce the Mustangs to some of the festivities that will happen this week on the other side of the globe. The first of these will be a series of classes on Chinese calligraphy.

The art of Chinese calligraphy has a history of thousands of years, lasting many dynasties. It was as a form of correspondence, however, that calligraphy was first used in ancient Chinese societies.

“In the old days, calligraphy was used to write and communicate,” Chinese professor Lisa Ahnert said. “But [today], people don’t write characters or communicate with Chinese brushing, so really the Chinese calligraphy by using brush is more of an art form.”

During the peak of Chinese civilization known as the Tang dynasty (618-905 A.D.), calligraphy was one of five skills necessary to become a leader in ancient society, along with painting, music, chess and archery.

This art form was such a crucial talent more than 1,000 years ago because “Chinese civilization puts an emphasis on education, and part of that process is writing.

Calligraphy is related to literature, and classical literature was always used as an examination tool to advance yourself,” Ahnert said. “So calligraphy is very important, and people judge you by how well you write.”

An important thing for students to know is that calligraphy is an abstract art form, Ahnert said.

“You don’t need to know the characters to appreciate art, just like you don’t need to know why Picasso painted this way. It’s more about the beauty, the shape, the strength of the calligraphy.”

To try to understand this subject, the SMU Chinese Club wishes to invite everyone to explore the basic topics of calligraphy with Thomas Yu, a well-known calligrapher in Dallas.

Yu will go over the sitting position, how to hold a brush, how to move a brush, how to use a brush and how to practice.

Yu will be teaching calligraphy classes at 10 a.m., 11 a.m. and 1 p.m. on Friday. From 12 – 1 p.m., students will have the opportunity to receive their Chinese name or good greeting words in calligraphic form.

All events will take place in Portico A of the Hughes-Trigg Student Center.

In addition, SMU will host the annual spring festival, which has a long history of being the most significant festival in China, Zhao said.

“This celebration is really valuable for Chinese students to have a feeling of being at home during this important holiday. For Americans and other international students, we want you to share our culture,” she said.

The spring festival will include a plethora of events geared toward introducing the atmosphere of the new year in China to Dallas.

Among the festivities is the Peacock dance, focusing on what is considered one of the most beautiful of all animals.

The “Chinese piano” will also be played, and it is said to be able to relay the best music for releasing stress, and a 15-minute fashion show, displaying traditional Chinese fashions on student models will also be held.

In addition to these events, a break dance, short film and violin performance are also part of the entertainment, which will last an hour and a half.

The spring festival will take place at 7:30 p.m. on Jan. 31 in McFarlin Auditorium.

Both the Chinese calligraphy event and spring festival are free of charge.

和一个帅哥聊天，一致认为中国大陆教育一大失败，就是搞得男人不象男人，女人不象女人。

这些年花了多少精神扔掉自己身上的男人气，又花了多少精神找个没有女人气的男人！

第 2 楼：

真是遗憾得很，最出彩的节目都是外国人演的，在中国的春节晚会上！

第 3 楼：

更多的中国人看踢踏舞看的仅仅是那么多的人一起跺脚是否整齐。

第 4 楼：

尽管我也忍着在春节晚会里很郁闷的过了除夕，但还是要和天使说：新年快乐！

第 5 楼：

Sufan，呵呵，同感，最近跟台湾人聊天，我就说台湾的男人缺少男人味道，他说大陆的女人缺少女人味道。
Forever，是啊，还有一个走钢丝的不知道是哪里的表演。
Wodejia，我觉得脚跺得还是满齐的:-D
月光，谢谢！也给你说声好。

第 6 楼：

走钢丝的是中国杂技团的，那个节目得过蒙特利尔什么什么节的金小丑奖，是杂技届的最高荣誉了。
6e：最近中央一台在播一个连续剧，名字叫做：浪漫的事，倪萍演的，特别动人。去看。
