Abstract
Background: During the Northern Dynasty of China, a large number of Sogdian merchants entered the Central Plains along the Silk Road and settled there. There were Sogdian settlements in Chang'an, Yecheng and other places. Sogdian merchants active on the Silk Road not only brought Central Asian and Sassanid artworks such as glass, gold and silver, but also brought Sogdian music and dance to the Central Plains. The Silk Road is not only an economic and trade route, but also a cultural road full of colorful arts, songs and dances, and a road of cultural exchanges with vitality and passion. Objective: The purpose of this study is to analyze the characteristics of the "Hu Xuan dance" and "Hu Teng dance" in the Sogdian tombs, and to reveal the communication and integration of the dance with the local culture after it was introduced into the Central Plains. Methods: By comparing the literature data with the images of unearthed cultural relics, the paper classifies and analyzes the images of "Hu-Xuan dance" and "Hu-teng dance" in migrate Sogdian tombs, and emphasizes the influence of performance occasions on the presentation of music and dance. Results: After entering the Central Plains, Sogdian music and dance combined the local music, costume and other artistic elements of the Central Plains while retaining its national characteristics, reflecting that the Silk Road played an important role in promoting the exchange and integration of Eastern and Western art and culture. Conclusion: "Hu Xuan dance" and "Hu Teng dance" were brought to the Central Plains by Sogdian merchants along the Silk Road, which reflects the exchange and interaction between different cultures on the Silk Road. These dance images are valuable materials for the study of the music and dance culture of the Silk Road, and provide important clues for us to deeply explore the exchanges of ancient civilizations.
