TY - Data T1 - Data set of lower limb postures for Dunhuang dance performances A1 - li li DO - 10.12072/ncdc.db7699.2026 PY - 2026 DA - 2026-09-30 PB - National Cryosphere Desert Data Center AB - This study constructs a data set of lower limb postures for Dunhuang dance performances, based on the original lower limb shapes of classic cave murals such as Cave 329 of the Early Tang Dynasty, Cave 44 of the Prosperous Tang Dynasty of the Mogao Grottoes, Cave 2 and Cave 3 of the Yulin Grottoes of the Yuan Dynasty as the core traceability basis, and combines Dunhuang dance support training to collect movement samples to cover the morphological characteristics of key lower limb parts such as hips, legs, knees, ankles, and feet. Relying on traditional mural prototypes, the dataset systematically refines and collects the static posture system of Dunhuang Dance, including characteristic foot shapes such as hook, stretch, tilt, and tilt, core leg postures such as suction, lift, pan, and end, and hip positions such as upright push, sitting push, forward push, push, push back, lift side, back, and loose side, as well as standardized knee postures such as open, closed, loose, leaning, parting, hanging, and lifting. At the same time, focusing on the linear aesthetic feeling of Dunhuang Dance's iconic "S"-shaped body, the rule of center of gravity control and the characteristics of body coordination, and collecting standardized dynamic and static movement data of lower limbs to restore Dunhuang Dance's unique body rhythm and stage performance style characteristics. This dataset can provide data support for research and practice such as standardization and quantification of Dunhuang dance teaching, artificial intelligence recognition of dance postures, digital modeling of traditional dances, posture intelligence analysis, compilation and creation of Dunhuang dance repertoire and refinement of stage action paradigms, effectively assisting Dunhuang dance. Standardized construction of basic posture, implementation of digital teaching, innovative compilation and creation of repertoire, and innovative research on intelligent inheritance of intangible cultural heritage dance.
