The most wonderful nation in history makes flamenco dance shine in the world.

Intense expressions and vigorous dance steps, in the wild and chilling melody, show warm and unrestrained behavior, inject primitive wildness into the dancer's soul, and show unique beauty with vigorous but gentle dance.

It is a flamenco dance shining on the top of art. Gypsies from Andalusia, Spain, with their enthusiasm, unrestrained, beautiful and vigorous, have brought this ancient Spanish dance to the extreme beauty, making it the two national quintessence of Spain alongside bullfighting.

Among flamenco dances, Carmen is the most famous and has become an eternal classic in the art and dance circles.

Merimee's novella Carmen was adapted by French composer Bicai and put on the stage for more than 200 years, and every tour was unprecedented packed, which proved the artistic status of this classic dance drama.

Two years ago, "Carmen" was staged in the Beijing Exhibition Hall Theater, and the author was lucky enough to have a look. The degree of shock at that time was beyond words. Until the end of the curtain, applause and tears were swallowed at the same time, I was still not satisfied.

Bizet not only promoted the ballet Carmen to the world, but also made the novel Carmen written by Merimee a household name. This is not only an artistic contribution, but also allows this art and literature to be passed down forever.

Merimi is good at short stories. Carmen is not the most brilliant one, but it is the most popular one. All his novels are slightly different from orthodox serious literature, mainly reflected in the combination of artistic style and serious literature, which may not go deep into the bone marrow, but closing the book can make people feel a lot.

Carmen tells a touching and sad love story between a Bohemian (gypsy) Carmen Hida and a young aristocrat Don Jose. He described love as terrible as a storm, which broke the ordinary people's understanding of love and fully highlighted the unruly character of Gypsies who strongly loved and longed for freedom.

Don Jose, a young aristocrat, left his hometown because of the war and became the captain of the light cavalry. He was sent to guard the tobacco factory. He only talked to Carmen. She wore a short red skirt, white socks covered with holes, red shoes with scarlet ribbons, a bunch of acacia flowers pinned to her shirt and the same flower in her mouth, which was deeply attracted by his eclectic image. This is the classic image of the ballet Carmen.

Not long after, Carmen stabbed a female worker and was taken to prison by Don Jose. On the way to the escort, Carmen seduced him and ran away. Poor Don Jose was demoted to prison.

After he was released from prison, Carmen became Don Jose's mistress in return for saving his life. Only then did he know that the other party was a smuggler specializing in the relationship between Britain and Spain. She was dissolute by nature and seduced Don Jose's deputy boss. The hero was furious and killed the lieutenant. In desperation, he joined a smuggling gang and became a smuggler.

It wasn't long before they were happy, and Carmen left without saying goodbye. She actually helped her husband Garcia, the cyclops, escape from prison. Garcia is cruel by nature and never blinks when he kills. Under this arrogance, Don Jose was upgraded from a smuggler to a robber. During this period, he also had secret correspondence with Carmen.

A strong possessiveness made Don Jose unwilling to be her lover, so she killed Garcia in a duel, tried to monopolize Carmen, and tried to persuade her to go to the United States to live a new life together, but Carmen refused mercilessly.

But before long, Carmen disappeared again. Don Jose discovered that Carmen was in love with a matador named Lugas. Fortunately, he soon died under the huge hoof of the bull. But because of this, Don Jose couldn't stand Carmen's repeated fiction, and their relationship broke down.

But he soon regretted it and begged Carmen to go to America with him. The other party would rather die than surrender, and said a quite classic line, "It is impossible to continue to love you. I don't want to live with you. "

Don Jose was so angry that he stabbed Carmen to death and then turned himself in.

The story ends here.

After Carmen met Don Jose, she not only welcomed her husband Garcia back, but also had an affair with the lieutenant and Lugas twice, and turned her back on her lover Don Jose, which was embarrassing.

Perhaps many people will regard Carmen as a slut, ashamed of her fickle and dissolute performance, deeply sympathize with the hero's tragedy, lament his loyalty to love, and think Carmen deserves to die. Especially female readers. This is completely understandable.

But have readers ever wondered how a woman who is so dissolute and has done all kinds of bad things was put on the stage, achieved epic classics, attracted thousands of people's attention and made people shed countless tears?

/kloc-European countries adopted mistresses and lovers in the 0 th and 9 th centuries, mostly for aristocratic behavior. Even so, there are only a few people like Carmen who changed their families on March 3. Even if there is, it is basically a duke or a countess, and Carmen's position is obviously incomparable with them.

Why is this?

Because Carmen is a Bohemian, a Gerona and a Gypsy.

Gypsies are the most unique people in the world, and there is no one.

They call themselves Egyptians, but scholars attribute their ancestors to Indians. Their birthplace is still unknown.

They have no country and have been wandering for a long time. They can be found in Spain, Germany, France, the Balkans, Central Europe, the United States, Russia, the Middle East and North Africa. Speaking different but the same Roma language.

Which country they go to and which religion they believe in; When you change the country, so does religion.

Men are engaged in ancient industries, such as mending pots, coppersmith, selling horses, shearing mules, taming animals and musicians. Sometimes because they are poor, they also engage in smuggling, petty theft and robbers. Women, on the other hand, beg, do divination, or sell some mysterious drugs (flying water and Indian oil are said to be developed from the secret recipe of Gypsies).

To this day, they still live in groups in ancient stone buildings, all of which have a history of at least 300 years.

They are the only single nation in the world, never marrying foreigners, and seriously despise foreigners.

But this does not affect their getting along with foreigners, especially young gypsy girls, who are passionate and free, and so are in love. As long as you are not married, like many ignorant girls, you like tall and powerful small fresh meat. However, the characteristics of vagrants go deep into the bone marrow and soul, and when they see other higher and more powerful small fresh meat, they will soon turn their goals around, and so on until they marry their own people. Men usually don't care what their wives do before marriage.

This may be the natural freedom of gypsies. They advocate freedom and do not restrict the freedom of their peers.

The most important point is that Gypsies live in groups. Wherever their families are, they will always be there, and they will never abandon their families and companions. Even migration is a collective behavior of the whole family.

So, look at these national characteristics of gypsies. It's not hard to imagine why Carmen changed her mind repeatedly, why she kept it a secret, and why she didn't cherish love. These are the nature of gypsies. No matter the gypsies in Europe, Asia or America, their hearts are connected. Therefore, they have their unique national characteristics.

It is precisely because of their "inaction" that it is difficult to manage and is often spurned and suppressed by all countries.

Usually, a person has a famous surname, but gypsies have no surname, only a first name, which ends with "d a", "ia", "va" and "y a", which has a strong feature of eastern European surnames.

14 and 15 centuries, the Spanish Trasta malla dynasty and Habsburg dynasties unified the management of Gypsies, forcing them to add their surnames after their names and unify them into "salazar".

In 20 10, Sarkozy, then president of France, forcibly expelled Gypsies from Bohemia, which was criticized by the media all over the world.

These are all disasters imposed on the gypsy nation.

It is true that the behavior of gypsies is indeed harmful to society. But who would have thought that this is the nature of the gypsy nation. Human nature can't be erased and changed. How can you have the heart to kill a nation's nature cruelly?

The primitive nature or instinct of human beings has been completely preserved by gypsies so far, which is not a valuable asset.

Their high technology of making pot of rat poison makes the advanced technology staggering; Their divination and mysticism have not been fully revealed until today.

It must be said that Gypsies are born with physical characteristics, with dark skin, deep eyes, bright black eyes and squints, and they look bright and brave, unwilling but helpless. In Merimee's words, "As long as you have met one, you can recognize the other one from a thousand people as a person of the same race."

Merime's novel Carmen is highly artistic and literary because of the gypsy's consistent nature. He released the gypsy's nature with a story.

Speaking of which, let's review Carmen's sentence, "It is impossible to continue to love you. I don't want to live with you. " You can't understand.

Although there are other works, such as: Notre Dame de Paris by Hugo, The Chains of Life by Mao Mu, gypsy woman by Cervantes, The Story of the Shigang People by Pushkin, Tolstoy's Makadera by Gorky, The Secret of Paris by Ensu, Victor's memoirs and so on.

Gypsies have unique characteristics. When they dance flamenco, their facial expressions are integrated with the dance, showing unparalleled coordination. This is an irreplaceable feature of any other nation.

Therefore, the best flamenco dancers are always gypsies. They are born dancers.

Finally, I use a gypsy ballad to express my admiration for this nation: "Time is for wandering, body is for enjoying, life is for forgetting, and soul is for singing."
