Tibetans are a huge minority in China with a long history and a vast territory. The unique geographical environment has formed a unique national style and cultural characteristics, as well as hardworking, brave, simple and optimistic personality. Tibetan people are good at singing and dancing, and singing and dancing often complement each other. They often express their yearning and best wishes for a better life to the newly married people in the form of singing and dancing at holiday parties and festive weddings. Tibetans are a great nation. They have created their own splendid culture with amazing wisdom, including the art of national song and dance.
The most distinctive feature of Tibetan dance is the trembling of knees, which is indispensable for tap dance, Heizi dance and Guozhuang dance. This is closely related to their living habits and clothing. They have lived in the mountainous plateau for a long time and the climate is cold. In order to adapt to the changeable climate, they often take off their robes and wrap two sleeves around their waists. Because of the drag of their cross-sectional clothes and the hypertrophy of their boots, all the weight they bear is on their knees. The calm, relaxed and flexible movements of their lower limbs are inseparable from their long-term living habits. Knee trembling is not a general shaking, mainly up and down movements, which should run through all movements, like a steady stream of water.
The dance "Singing by Turning Over the Serfs" is the representative of Tibetan dance, which reproduces people in Xizang's new life and elegant demeanor. Tibetan dance for dancing.
Characteristic dance words such as Heizai and Reba let us appreciate the cultural background, historical changes and folk customs of the Tibetan people. In the past, Tibetans were slaves of others, so in the past, Tibetan dances were mostly bent over and the movements were not very big. This is mainly because in primitive society, Tibetan areas were relatively closed and independent, and were less influenced by Han and other ethnic groups. Therefore, Tibetan folk dance has well preserved its original appearance. Bend down and dance because the Tibetan people at that time had no status and lived under the exploitation and oppression of others. These primitive dances from the folk include all kinds of folk customs, sacrifices and ceremonial activities, which show the war experience, totem belief and entertainment activities of various traditional festivals in ancient primitive society, and also show the love of young men and women. The primitive Tibetan folk dance has well preserved the expressions and concepts of the primitive Tibetan folk dance. The dance "Turn Over the Serfs to Sing" is the turning point of Tibetan dance. It reflects people in Xizang's new life and the joy of life before liberation. At this time, the Tibetan dance mainly focuses on holding out the chest, and the movement range is also large. This symbolizes that they are no longer bound, they are free and liberated.
The change of Tibetan dance comes from the change of life. This also shows that dance comes from life and is higher than life. Tibetan folk dance must meet the needs of social development and is bound to be restricted and influenced by the cultural environment at home and abroad. "Hidden Mystery" is China's first song and dance poem showing Tibet, Qinghai, Gansu, Sichuan, Yunnan and other different Tibetan areas in a panoramic way. It vividly reproduces the essence of Tibetan culture such as the primitive life, folk customs and traditional religious ceremonies of Tibetan compatriots. It has broken through the "original ecology" field that the traditional dance mode has always restricted the style, vocabulary, arrangement and choice of dance music, and many choreographers dare not move or even set foot in it. The rhythm is high and powerful, sometimes touching, and the scene is grand and spectacular. It depicts a mysterious, broad, long and splendid Tibetan painting through songs, dances and music. "Hidden Mystery" is a large-scale stage play with pure Tibetan style. It takes what a Tibetan grandmother saw and heard during her pilgrimage as a clue, and Tibetan songs, dances and instrumental music in different regions as the performance carrier, showing Tibetan life, folk customs and religious ceremonies in a scene, and completely reproducing the unique essence of Tibetan culture.
Both the dance "Turn over the Serfs to Sing" and the dance "Hide the Mystery" reflect the development and changes of Tibetan dance. It also reflects the changes of Tibetan lifestyle and customs. Due to the influence of western culture and other domestic dances, Tibetan dances no longer exist.
Then there is pure Tibetan culture, but a distinctive new Tibetan culture that can survive in modern dance culture.
