《采薇》是来自舞剧《孔子》的一段经典舞蹈，展现了孔子内心所期盼的理想世界。孔子周游列国，然而未获重用而屡遭驱逐。他悲于百姓疾苦，深知实现理想任重道远，却仍坚守自己的道。此时，他仿佛见到了大同世界，一个学子尊师重道、君主得信于民，百姓安居乐业的世界。恍惚间，仿佛有及笄少女踏歌而来。舞蹈展现的便是这样一幅平静美好、无忧无虑的画面。舞者们以优美俏皮、欢快灵动的舞姿，展现了桃花源般的美好世界，也映衬了现实与理想之间的巨大鸿沟。大“道”仍在路上。
The classical dance "Swaying Willows," from the drama "Confucius," portrays Confucius's longing for an ideal world of harmony and respect. Despite facing rejection and witnessing the suffering of the people during his travels, Confucius remained steadfast in his principles. Through graceful and lively movements, the dancers depict Confucius's ideal world in contrast to reality, echoing the eternal journey towards realizing the great "Dao."
