She is just great and lovely ! Have been watching this video many times... by the way...Both are sounds similar but this piece is actually called lofty mountains and flowing water.
Oh my god, this one is absolutly amazing. The dancer was trying to perform a male, actually a typical ancient Chinese romantic calligraphist(which in those days were very man kind thing). Her movements interpret a Calligraphist or painter or poet so well(according to Chinese ancient culture, they usually good at all these things) .
I just think the opposite... by 丹青, the dance is trying to depict a 少年书生 (I kinda linking this image to 羽扇纶巾，谈笑间、樯橹灰飞烟灭), 王亚彬's version is softer, her facial expression more feminine, not really matching the image that the dance is trying to depict. But 亚童 here has shown a confident and ambitious youth image.
So beautiful! But I did not see a mistake as mentioned in the video's description! Then again, I don't perform or really know much at all about this style of dance... But I was moved, and I think the dance is lovely.
Wow! You are brilliant and amazing! I sure hope you realize that, and feel good! I'd like to humbly post my dance below, but of course I am no match to you ( : Thank you.
This version is the original version, she performed this dance in the competition 4 years before the other more famous dancer Wang competed, both studied in Beijing Dance Academy trained under the same teacher, Wang's version definitely made quite a few tweaking.
Actually an ancient piece of classical music roughly translated into High Mountain Flowing Water. Within the piece, the depictions (of mountain/water) were supposed to echo and mirror one-another.
I like Wang Yabin's version of this dance much better. She dances it with much more grace, technique, and heart. When she does this dance, it seems like she puts in 150% of effort. The dance just comes alive when she does it, and she does it with so much feeling. When Zou dances it, it seems like she's just doing the movements. Sometimes it even seems like she's trying to get the dance over with.
Personally I prefer Wang's version. This dancer may have better flexibility, but considering the theme of the dance, I think Wang's interpretation, or say her "silhouette" fits better here. Another reason, I always like Yan style in calligraphy more than Liu style.
On Wang being emaciated, if you understand how much training and conditioning and discipline is involved with dancing, then you would know that she wouldn't need to starve herself in any way to have the figure and the muscles that she has.
@marychildlearning sorry this comes late... But the music is called "Gao Shan Liu Shui", or literally, "High Mountains and Flowing Water". This piece is played by guqin, an instrument with thousands of history. This particular piece is one of the ten Chinese classic.
I disagree. Both versions are about the same length. This dancer has superior flexibility than Wang, but I could barely watch her dance when I first got it because she looked so emaciated. In my opinion the ending (the last 20 seconds or so) is much better than Wang's later version.
the mistake is at 4:40, otherwise its all good right? did she won anything? probably not bc of that mistake. i love her style, she has a body that is more of martial art than a dancer, i wouldn't be suprise if she knows martial arts
This dancer has more flexibility, but overall I'd still prefer watching Wang, who is a lot more in sync with the dance itself. I can tell Zou is trying in this dance, which is good, but Wang's version appear so effortless which is better.
None from the current generation of dancers. I think there is now an over-emphasis on thinness as fundamental gauge of a dancer. If you read my comment above carefully, it would be clear that I was referring to Zou as "emaciated". Her thinness lends an aura of other-worldliness to the dance, at the expense of power and control. Wang's dances with more abandon. Her demi-pointe turns are fantastic, but I stand by my contention that Zou has superior extension and flexibility.
I especially don't like the ending. If you have ever seen Wang's, it is amazing. Zou's ending has no special significance to it, and still doesn't show any exceptional skill. I think Wang is the only one, out of the half dozen who have done 扇舞丹青 for various 桃李杯s, who dances it with grace and up to par.
well, honestly, name me one accomplished classical chinese dancer from China who is not quote on quote emaciated. If you consider Wang's look as emaciated then i have no comments for this dancer. Besides, the ending has to do w/ choreography and has nothing to do w/ the dancer. And i was comparing the dancers from the beginning to the end.
When the dance speeds up, Zou has no movements that are unique or that fit in with the music. Dances are supposed to have both fast and slow parts, but for Zou it seems like the whole dance is filled with slow movements. She has no stamina, her movements are very basic, and she has no feeling. On Zou's "superior extension and flexibility," Zou can only keep her leg up for a second before she releases, but Wang clearly shows the intense training and work she put into this dance.
善舞丹青是个舞蹈演员自由发挥空间很大的古典舞，王亚彬跳起来充满张力，英气逼人，是一种灵动之美；邹亚童跳起来则如蜻蜓点水，温婉柔美，是一种女性的古典美。应该说是各有特色都能给观众美的享受。
chinese dancers and dance are just the best in the world it is breathtaking. It is the spirit of the movement which is perfect
太喜歡這支舞 毫無諂媚之態 行雲流水中一舉一動皆是風骨！
High Mountains, Rippling Water
It's a famous classical Guzheng piece :D
She is just great and lovely !
Have been watching this video many times...
by the way...Both are sounds similar but this piece is actually called lofty mountains and flowing water.
beautiful dance!
Oh my god, this one is absolutly amazing.

well... that was so great! i am just starting to find out more about traditional style of dance. i wish i could move like that!
行云流水，直抵人心
I can’t believe anyone can find something to criticize on this performance, I think it’s absolutely amazing.
太棒了
I just think the opposite... by 丹青, the dance is trying to depict a 少年书生 (I kinda linking this image to 羽扇纶巾，谈笑间、樯橹灰飞烟灭), 王亚彬's version is softer, her facial expression more feminine, not really matching the image that the dance is trying to depict.

amazing! I
确实有这种感觉，但由于这个舞的主题是扇舞丹青，丹青还是用柔软多变的舞扇来表达才是最恰当的。
So beautiful! But I did not see a mistake as mentioned in the video's description! Then again, I don't perform or really know much at all about this style of dance... But I was moved, and I think the dance is lovely.
美～

流波影轉手到擒來
it was...WOW! I don't know what to say... Wanderful, sensual, exotic, beautyful
This is so lovely I love a lot of the changes she took the freedom of making, but honestly, I like the original ending better :)

It's look like she can move and any direction. cool!
柔美~
佢件衫好靚
高山弄剑，流水奔舞。
1:42 有一个用扇子点空的动作，最像了。好像挥着毛笔在墙壁上，看似不经意地一点，却应该是点睛的一笔。
高山流水是我及喜歡彈的曲子 即便多年不碰琴 唯一一首依舊能不看譜也熟練彈出來的
就個人對這首曲子的理解 邹亞童這個跳得比王亞彬好太多 主要是動作都踩在點子上了 該停頓的有停頓 該強調的也都不落下
但 王亞彬的節奏讓我感到很彆扭 和曲子合不到一起去
I like Wang Yabin's version of this dance much better. She dances it with much more grace, technique, and heart. When she does this dance, it seems like she puts in 150% of effort.

Sometimes it even seems like she's trying to get the dance over with.
the reason wang yabin's looks better is because she has a much better personality
even though she is not the best
that is why everyone likes her =P
Personally I prefer Wang's version. This dancer may have better flexibility, but considering the theme of the dance, I think Wang's interpretation, or say her "silhouette" fits better here. Another reason, I always like Yan style in calligraphy more than Liu style.
王亚彬的版本比较好，多了一丝英气，动作干净利落
On Wang being emaciated, if you understand how much training and conditioning and discipline is involved with dancing, then you would know that she wouldn't need to starve herself in any way to have the figure and the muscles that she has.
@marychildlearning sorry this comes late... But the music is called "Gao Shan Liu Shui", or literally, "High Mountains and Flowing Water". This piece is played by guqin, an instrument with thousands of history. This particular piece is one of the ten Chinese classic.
No, it's not played on the guqin but the guzheng, a different instrument
I disagree. Both versions are about the same length. This dancer has superior flexibility than Wang, but I could barely watch her dance when I first got it because she looked so emaciated. In my opinion the ending (the last 20 seconds or so) is much better than Wang's later version.
The inspiration behind the dance is Chinese classical painting.
The error is at 5:10. She had to turn a sideway somersault / aerial into a cartwheel.
bgm高山流水啊
Please can any one tell me what is the title of this Music? Fantastic Dancer with the right music.. so clam and peaceful// Thank you.
了解了解。。。。对越剧一窍不通， 柔美vs中性美， 一样有个美字， ：P。。（陶醉歌舞中~~~）
中国的舞、乐、书、画，几乎所有的艺术门类都离不开一个‘韵’字，我想这是源自于中文是一种单音节的语言吧，不重在复杂的节奏，而重于意味婉转悠长。所以我一直都很怀疑外国人是否真的懂中国的艺术。
其实，这些 "中国的舞" 包括很多芭蕾的动作，而不是真古代中国舞。好像不只是外人不懂中国的艺术...
动作和身韵并非同一件事情，就像在西洋乐器上也可以演奏中国韵味的音乐，没人会认为小提琴演奏的梁祝是西方音乐，即使是唐代的舞乐，也有浓浓的胡风。
你从古代穿越过来的吗？
@crystalsky1227
Excellent point!
the mistake is at 4:40, otherwise its all good right? did she won anything? probably not bc of that mistake. i love her style, she has a body that is more of martial art than a dancer, i wouldn't be suprise if she knows martial arts
This dancer has more flexibility, but overall I'd still prefer watching Wang, who is a lot more in sync with the dance itself. I can tell Zou is trying in this dance, which is good, but Wang's version appear so effortless which is better.
Wang's a around one minute longer than this, thus kindda dragging... but either way, Wang is more matured though emotionally and technically.
I think its refering to 3:34
It looks to me as if she stumbled a little, but I could be wrong?
What is the name of the dancer please?
看過很多跳扇舞丹青的, 還是覺得鄒亞童最能表現那種瀟灑飄逸的儒風, 可惜了此片像素太差-_-
Absolutamente maravilloso... me ha encantado ;)
我也觉得王亚彬跳的比较好
what is the type of outfit she is wearing?
What mistake?
没看到柔美，我看到了中性美。
这个舞者应该是借鉴了戏剧很多小生的动作，比如越剧小生。
事实上动作非常的男性化，照着古代浪漫的书生路线去的
dance of chinese calligraphy
比王亚彬跳的版本編排的好。

很美，比杨丽萍的作品美。
刚刚看了王亚彬版的··感觉跳的比她有灵性
