First, the concept of national folk dance
China is a multi-ethnic country with a long history and cultural origin. As one of the favorite arts, dance has different forms of expression among different ethnic groups. National dance is a dance formed between different ethnic groups and spread among their own ethnic groups. Its movements are unpretentious and show the characteristics of their own ethnic groups. Dances of Han nationality, Mongolian nationality, Uygur nationality, Dai nationality, Miao nationality, Hani nationality, etc. have converged into national folk dances in China. National folk dance is influenced by the national cultural characteristics and customs, and different regions have different dance styles.
second, the formation of ethnic folk dances
ethnic dances are innovative and evolved on the basis of acrobatics, operas and martial arts, and many ethnic dances have many actions in common.
1. Tibetan dance. Tibetan dance is inspired by women's Reba dance, which is highly skillful in rotation and turning over, and appears in Tibet, Sichuan, Yunnan, Qinghai and other places. Reba dance is invented by vagrants who are forced by life and reality. It can attract people around them to watch when performing and make money through it. The main form of performance is bell drum, in which male artists use yak tails and bells to keep shaking, while female artists hold tambourines and drumsticks with long handles and dance together. In this dance, the performance skills are concentrated on the drum, and the body rotates quickly with the drum, and the dance moves quickly, which is very heroic and exciting.
2. Mongolian dance. Mongolia is a nation that can sing and dance on horseback and gallop on horseback. The outstanding color of Mongolian dance is that the rhythm is very clear and the movements are heroic. The skill of Mongolian dance is to shake shoulders, rotate soft arms and hands quickly, and combine rigidity with softness. The skill shows the intelligence and softness of Mongolian women, and also shows the toughness and toughness of Mongolian men, which is fascinating. The most popular bowl dance in Mongolia is usually performed by women. With a porcelain bowl on her head, the woman danced in the music with double cups in her hands, and her arms slowly extended and flexed, integrating rotation, shoulders shaking and steps breaking, with gentle and subtle movements.
3. Uygur dance. Uygur dance is rich and colorful, and it is called "the hometown of singing and dancing". There are various expressions of Uygur dance, among which the most popular one is "Maixilaifu", which means the ocean of singing and dancing. Sainaim, Nazirkum, Shoudrum and Duolang are the main forms of Uygur dance. There are strict requirements and restrictions on the movements of the head, shoulders, waist, elbows, knees and feet in the dance of the mighty son. Moreover, eye contact is the most important action in Uygur dance, and the eyes that can accurately express the simplicity of Uygur people's hearts are watching, staring, glancing, staring and so on. In addition, the basic features of Uygur dance include neck moving, finger punching, wrist turning, body trembling, waist standing, chest holding high and so on.
third, the nature of national folk dance
the nature of national folk dance is pluralism, diversity and complexity. The great capacity of connotation and function is the change of national folk dance culture. In today's multi-cultural social background, national dances are gradually infiltrated and introduced into each other. The types of national dances are very diverse, and with the development of society, more and more people focus on the creation and learning of national dances, so that national dances continue to develop and improve with the development of the times. In addition, ethnic folk dances also have their complicated side. The most important performance is that many ethnic groups have their own unique dances that can only be learned and performed by their own people. For example, the Tibetan Buddhist dance "Qiangmu" in Yushu strictly follows the principle of being passed on from the inside to the outside. This dance has strong national characteristics and religious color, which is of great significance.
Fourth, the skills of national folk dance
1. Stylistic skills of national folk dance. China folk dance is the complete embodiment of aesthetic style. The skills in classical dance can be separated independently from the body rhyme, while the skills in national folk dance are closely connected with the style of dance, inseparable, stylized skills, and the unity of various props dance skills in folk dance and unique skills among ethnic groups. Many colorful forms of props dance can be excavated from our national folk dances, such as handkerchiefs and fans of the Han nationality, reba drums and back drums of the Tibetan nationality, chopsticks and cups of the Mongolian nationality, long drums and elephant hats of the Korean nationality, etc., all of which are props in national dances. Rotation and shoulder shaking in national dance are also very stylistic skills, and attention should be paid to the speed and flexibility of movements while dancing.
2. Emotional skills of folk dance. People usually dance to relax and vent some emotions. Folk dance is no exception. Emotional input plays a very important role in dance. Without emotional foil, the brilliance and style of dance can't be realized. For example, when dancers dance, their facial expressions will be rich and colorful, either happy or sad. Special attention should be paid to conveying feelings with eyes, which will make the dance more artistic and appealing.
3. Artistic skills of national folk dance. The artistry of national folk dance is mainly manifested in the image of the dance, the psychology of the characters, the artistic conception of the stage and so on, and the venue of the dance has gradually shifted from the square to the theater. For example, the famous dances, such as Guanyin with a Thousand Hands, Swan and Spirit of Sparrow, which we are familiar with, are the perfect embodiment of artistic skills in dance, which enhances the appeal of dance and brings great impact to people's vision and spirit at the same time.
Conclusion: With the mutual integration of different ethnic groups in China, the dances between different ethnic groups are no longer limited to the local area, but also widely spread in other ethnic groups. Mastering the skills of national dance makes it more appealing and attractive when performing.
