Chinese Classical Dance “Green & White Snake” - 中国古典舞《青白蛇：雨后》

"After the Rain," a classical dance duet co-created by Chen Weike and Xiao Yu in 2022, skillfully uses umbrellas and fans as props to depict the scene of Green Snake and White Snake swimming in West Lake. This work fully demonstrates the characteristics of Chinese classical dance with its controlled and free movements, highlighting the beauty of Eastern rhythms and traditional culture. The images of Green Snake and White Snake originate from the Chinese folk legend "Legend of the White Snake," which tells the tortuous love story between the human form of a snake spirit (Bai Suzhen) and a young man (Xu Xian), deeply expressing the people's yearning for free love and hatred for the unreasonable constraints of feudal forces.

《雨后》是2022年由陈伟科与肖雨共同创作的双人古典舞作品，巧妙运用伞与扇作为道具，将青蛇与白蛇畅游西湖的场景演绎得旖旎曼妙，媚态百生。该作品充分展现了中国古典舞收放自如的特点，彰显了东方韵律与国粹之美。青蛇、白蛇的形象源自中国四大民间爱情传说之一的《白蛇传》，该传说讲述了一个修炼成人形的蛇精（白娘子）与人（许仙）之间曲折的爱情故事，深刻表达了人民对男女自由恋爱的赞美与向往，以及对封建势力无理束缚的憎恨。
