Love You for the Rest of My Life novel Chapter 1277

Chapter 1277: Chapter 1277: Letting Myself Go

"You see those literary giants of ancient times, their poetry exudes such beautiful artistic conception—either filled with lofty aspirations or simple and truthful depictions. Reading such verses, you feel as if something constrained deep inside is being released, like Li Bai’s unruly freedom or Tang Yin’s carefree abandon.

Husband suggests that if you really want to excel in dance, you must let yourself go. First, you should study the ancient poetry of scholars, seeking in their words that unrestrained sentiment. The second is music; when listening to a piece of music that can make you lose yourself and dance without reason, you will understand.

When you stop fussing over deliberate choreography, that’s essentially when you’ll grasp it."

What Nangong Jin said surprised Di Jinxuan, yet it seemed to make a lot of sense—she couldn’t help but ask curiously, "Dancing requires the study of ancient poetry and music?"

"Of course." Nangong Jin nodded earnestly, patiently explaining, "Whether it’s music or songs—and songs include lyrics—ancient poetry can be set to music; within it all lies the essence. The most important essence is to pour out feelings; to put it plainly, it’s about emotion. Many musical pieces and lyrics come from a moment of spontaneous inspiration.

Such bursts of inspiration often coincide with the most uninhibited release of one’s inner being. You must feel it, experience it, capture it. Once you grasp and comprehend it, only then you can perform it beautifully."

"Yes." Nangong Jin unhesitatingly nodded in agreement, "It’s undeniable that experiences born from unbridled behavior can lead to a deeper insight into the human condition, which may provoke an inspired creation, possibly one that astounds the world.

But that’s the lower kind of indulgence. High-end indulgence is not about indulging your flesh but your heart. There are many ways to let yourself go, like playing music, traveling, appreciating literature, opening your heart to love, making friends from different cultural and age backgrounds, experiencing the diverse tapestry of life. This too is a form of self-indulgence, an indulgence of the spirit.

After all that’s been said, in the plainest language, it’s about freeing oneself."
