但相对的难度也很高 , 而且以我现在的年纪 (27) 也没办法学了 ... 只能纯欣赏 ~
但它真的是很美 ~~
我在读书会还有报告这个哦 ~ 给大家参考看看 ~ 内容其实大同小异啦 ~~
Capoeira
As in the United States, there was also slavery in Brazil. The slaves were
put to work in the plantations where sugar and tobacco were the main crops
and the demand for slave labor was at an all-time high. During the history of
the slave trade, it is estimated that more than two million slaves were
brought to Brazil from Africa. They were brought to the port of Bahia.
These captive Africans created the earliest form of Capoeira, a martial
art, to increase their chances for liberty and independence. On the pretence
of dance and religious gatherings, they practiced fighting techniques.
Capoeira became an art form through which many liberated themselves.
In Pernambuco, a group of forty slaves used Capoeira to rebel against
their master and burn the plantation house. They then set themselves free and
headed for the mountains. Eventually they reached what they thought was a
safe place and named it Palmares, due to the abundance of palm trees. In this
place, an African community was born, it lasted nearly a century and grew to
a population of more than twenty thousand. These slaves came from different
regions of Africa and thus had different cultures. Here, tribes that were
enemies in Africa, united to fight for a common goal.
After slavery was abolished on May 13, 1888, the planters no longer had
interest in the ex-slaves as a work force, so most of them entered the cities
and formed slums and shantytowns. There was no employment. Many became
criminals and used their knowledge of Capoeira on their victims. Eventually,
a rigid penal code was initiated stating that any person who was a known
capoeirista (anyone who practices the art) would be banished.
The law that prohibited the practice of Capoeira was still in effect until
1920, and its practice disguised as a "folk dance." In their hidden places,
capoeiristas did their best to keep the tradition alive, and by presenting it
as a folk art, they made Capoeira more acceptable in society.
In those years it was very common for a capoeirista to have two or three
nicknames. The police knew all of them by these names and not by their real
identity, so it made it much more difficult to arrest them. This tradition
has endured and is still practiced in academies today. When a person is
"baptized" into the practice of Capoeira, they are given a nickname.
In 1937 Mestre Bimba, one of the most renown masters of Capoeira,
received an invitation from the president to demonstrate his art in the
nation's capital. After a successful performance, he went back to his home
state of Bahia and, with the government's permission, opened the first
Capoeira academy in Brazil. It was the first step towards a more open
development. Years later, the senate passed a bill establishing Capoeira as a
national sport.
Today, Capoeira can be seen and learned all around the world.
