Abstract
The Epitome and Homogeneity of Technical Skills of Chinese national Folk Dances ×

With the prosperity of Chinese folk dance creations, especially the development of the dance performances represented by the Lotus Awards and Tao Li Cup, the technical skills of national folk dances are further promoted to a new height. Its development, however, generates two problems. First of all, the technical characteristics of styles are diminishing and tend tocome be homogeneous. Second, the pursuit of techniques with ultra-high difficulties makes the creative vocabularies hollow and devoid of content and typicality. This paper adopts the methods of investigation, observation and literature research to analyze the related technical skills in the creation of folk dances in Chinese dance circles. The purpose is to emphasize that the creation of Chinese folk dances should be traced back to their origins, and to bring forth new ideas in three aspects: stylization, emotionalization and artistry, starting from the characteristics of technical skills. In order to break through, its form should be more epitomous in culture and more typical in aesthetics. Only in this way can the technical skills of Chinese folk dances become truly prosperous.
