Feather men in Han paintings, Culture, Dance.

In the context of realizing the rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, the related researchers and dancers should, for the realization of the inheritance and development of Chinese dance art, explore and reproduce dance language materials from traditional Chinese cultural resources, achieve the connection between ancient dance resources and contemporary art aesthetics, and then form excellent dance works with Chinese cultural connotations and aesthetics. Of course, the inheritance and development of traditional Chinese culture through dance is not simply a reconstruction of imagination, but an artistic creation based on respect for history, which requires "narrating history through literature", "proving history through pictures", and "practicing history through the body". This article takes the feather men figures in Han paintings as an example. Firstly, the author conducts research on ancient literature, unearthed cultural relics, and other aspects to verify their historical origins and image evolution; Secondly, based on the expression of Han painting images, the author elaborates on the cultural connotations of the Han painting feathered figure image; Finally, taking the experimental dance work "Feather Men" as an example, the author summarizes the content and process of its dance presentation.
