The difference between geisha music form and music and dance form lies in the different prevailing time and content. The form of ci-poetry music prevailed in the Sui Dynasty, including Qing, Tianzhu, Anguo and Qiuci, while the form of music and dance prevailed in the Tang Dynasty, with thin momentum and spectacular scenes. Collect poems, words and songs, play and sing, chime, drum, harp and musical instruments, and dance lightly.

According to legend, Wei Mo, a Baekje who studied music and dance in Wu, was naturalized in Japan in the eighth year of Daye (6 12) and began to teach geisha music in Japan. Because they liked it at that time, they gathered a group of Japanese teenagers to learn from Wei Mo, and set up geisha musicians and geisha students in the faculty order of Yale Liao.

The influence of music and dance

It goes without saying that the prosperity of music and dance directly affects the development of Tang poetry. It seems that this influence should be viewed from two aspects: poets and poems. As far as poets are concerned, first, poets can express their feelings through music and dance. Lyricism is the essence of music and dance. As the saying goes, "Emotion moves in the middle, but it is in the words; If it is not enough, lament; Lament its lack, so sing it; Being unable to sing is different from dancing. "

The development of music and dance, especially its close connection with people's life in the Tang Dynasty, naturally gave poets a powerful lyric channel, as evidenced by the example of Li Bai and others who used music and dance to express their ambition to make a fortune. In addition, some poets also express their concern for national affairs through some phenomena of the prosperity of music and dance.
