Appreciation of Song Dynasty:
This is "Dance of Four Little Swan" performed by the Paris National Opera House, which is from the second act of the four-act ballet Swan Lake composed by Tchaikovsky. Musically, this dance music is relaxed and lively, with a clean rhythm, which vividly depicts the scene of little swan playing and roaming by the lake, and its simple and moving melody is full of pastoral poetry.
This dance music is a household name in China, which can be said to be known to all women and children. Many people haven't actually heard the whole song of Swan Lake by Lao Chai, but they can remember the melody of "Four Dances of Little Swan".
On the one hand, it is lively and popular, and the melody is easy to remember. On the other hand, it is due to the foreign translation film Lenin of 19 18, which was still released during the "Ten-year Cultural Revolution". The film has dance and ballet performances. This is how the motivation of music appreciation is passed down.
