Chapter 61 Sixteen Heavenly Demon Dance Sleeve Length

Emperor Yuan Shun hid in the deep palace and slackened his administration. At first, it may have been a last resort, so as to avoid conflicts with powerful officials, so as not to bring himself a disaster of death; Not bad, so I'm not tired of it.It's just that just doing carpentry in the palace every day like Emperor Tianqi of the Ming Dynasty will always get boring after a long time.That Tianqi had only been emperor for seven years, while Emperor Yuanshun had been emperor for thirty-five years. Naturally, he would not be satisfied with just making a few more architectural models, making a few dragon boats and the like.So he found a more exciting way to play for himself, which is closely related to the famous "Sixteen Heavenly Demon Dance" in the Yuan Dynasty.

The Sixteen Heavenly Demon Dance is a well-known dance in the Yuan Dynasty. When it comes to the art of singing and dancing in the Yuan Dynasty, it is always brought out as a representative.The specific performance of this dance, according to the records of "Yuan Shi", is sixteen court ladies, with their hair combed into several small braids, wearing ivory Buddha crowns, looming tassels, and bright red miniskirts with gold rims. , wearing a gold silk jacket and a cloud-like shawl on her shoulders, she is extremely coquettish and sexy.Each of them holds a law enforcement device, and one of them holds a bell and pestle to lead the dance, with different postures and attractive eyes.There are also eleven court ladies wearing white transparent silk dresses and white ribbons on their heads, performing various sexy movements as backup dancers.Whenever there is a Buddhist event in the palace, or Emperor Shun is lonely, let them sing and dance to wish happiness.Among them, the dancing postures of the three court ladies, Sansheng Nu, Miao Le Nu, and Manjusri Nu, are particularly graceful. For this reason, they can often get night pearls and new styles of brocade as rewards from Emperor Shun.

The emperor is so nonsense, so naturally there is no need to ask about state affairs.Later, after the fall of the Yuan Dynasty, many people blamed the Sixteen Heavenly Demon Dance for this reason. "Who is the witch who asks the sky and sings the sound of Chen Gong Yushu", "Since ancient times, the country has perished due to female disasters, and the demons have danced to the end of the world." It is compared to Chen Houzhu's "Jade Tree Backyard Flower", which belongs to the sound of the subjugated country.When Emperor Yuan Shun left Dadu and fled to Mobei, he did not forget to bring his beloved Tianmo dance team, "The felt cart is full of heavenly magic, only Ying holds the imperial garden flower", and continued to "great joy" up.
