 The Concrete Expression and Presentation of Traditional Aesthetics in China Classical DanceYanpeng Wei Education Insights, 2025, vol. 2, issue 5, 124-129 Abstract: As an artistic carrier of China's excellent traditional culture, the core charm of Chinese classical dance is rooted in the profound soil of traditional Chinese aesthetics. Traditional aesthetics is not an abstract philosophical concept, but a highly concrete artistic presentation achieved through physical forms, movement rhythms, stage ambiance, and emotional expression. This paper takes the core categories of traditional Chinese aesthetics as its theoretical foundation, systematically elucidating aesthetic spirits such as qi-yun (vital energy and rhythm), form and spirit, hardness and softness, roundness and curvature, artistic conception, and harmony. It analyzes the concrete expression paths of traditional aesthetics in Chinese classical dance from four dimensions: movement language, body rhythm, stage performance, and repertoire creation. By combining classic dance works, it examines their presentation methods and artistic value, aiming to reveal the intrinsic laws of classical dance- "to convey the Dao through dance and to transmit the spirit through beauty" -and provide theoretical support and aesthetic guidance for the creation, teaching, and performance of classical dance.
