反弹琵琶【英】

Playing-pipa-behind posture

定义

敦煌壁画舞姿。如盛唐第172窟北壁观无量寿经变图中两舞伎在方毯上相对而舞，左舞伎吸左腿出胯，身向右倾，右手伸向背后反弹琵琶，右舞伎张开双手正欲拍打长鼓。

A dance posture depicted in the Dunhuang murals. As a typical example: in the Tang Dynasty sutra illustration painting of the “Aparimitayurnama sutra” (in the Cave 172 of the Mogao Grottoes, on the north wall), two dancers—opposite to each other—are depicted dancing on a square carpet. The dancer on the left bends her left leg and protrudes her left hip. Her body tilts to the right and her right hand reaches behind her back to play the pipa. The dancer on the right opens both her hands and readies them to beat a long drum.
