The Tibetan people collectively call the Dingri, Lasi, Sakya and Ali areas in the upper reaches of the Yarlung Zangbo River, the highest place in Tibet, "Dui", and the self-entertainment circular dance popular in agricultural areas here is called "Dui Harmony". The biggest feature and difference of Duihuan is that when people sing and dance, they add a musical instrument, the lyre. Later, due to the performance of man's Tap Dance derived from DuiKai, DuiKai gradually became popular in Lhasa and other places.
DuiHarmony has a very long history. Up to now, it can be seen that in the 1th century AD, murals were built in the assembly hall of Guge Dynasty Palace Fort in Ali, Tibet, depicting the dance of DuiKai by 1 girls in long skirts, with their right feet crossed in front and their left feet slightly behind. Its situation is almost the same as the dance posture of Duihuan, which is still popular in the local area and is called "Xuan". In all the Tibetan self-entertainment circle dances, men and women cross hands in front of or behind their bodies, which is a unique form of Duihuan.
Tap Dance, a representative Tibetan man, comes from Duihuan. Before the 17th century, Duihuan was only accompanied by songs. Later, after the lyre "Zamu Nian" entered as an accompaniment instrument, it gradually played the prelude, interlude and epilogue of the dance accompaniment songs, which made the original Duihuan fundamentally change in dance form. With the introduction of the lyre, Duihuan gradually got rid of the original restrictions of lyrics, sentences and paragraphs, and became a dance that can change many steps with different rhythm music.
In the mid-17th century, Tibetan opera troupes from all over the world gathered in Lhasa at the annual "Snow Festival". At that time, in the Tibetan opera of the "Poor Ba Tibetan Opera Troupe" in the post-Tibet, the man dance "Duihuan" accompanied by the lyre was interspersed. The dance was eclectic, cheerful and enthusiastic, which aroused people's novelty and surprise. Since then, this dance has been introduced to Lhasa. After the exchange and refinement of folk artists, on the basis of the original basic dance steps, the second half beat was emphasized, and a new footwork was created, and the dance structure and routine were re-standardized. Since then, a new dance, Men's Tap Dance, has emerged. Later, dulcimer, flute, huqin, string bell, etc. were gradually added to the accompaniment instruments, which made the men's Tap Dance become a performance dance and popular with people.
In the future, in order to enrich the acoustics and skills of Tap Dance, people adorned the performer's ankles or calves with bells, so that the bells and the tap sounds rose and fell together, and even mastered the difficult skills of the bell rising and falling during the tap dance, which has become a standard to measure the level of Tap Dance.
Harmony is the well-known Tibetan dance Killer. This kind of folk self-entertainment dance once prevailed in Batang, Qamdo, Ganzi in Sichuan Province and Tibetan areas in Qinghai Province, but the most charming and chic dance is Killer in Batang area. Therefore, as long as people mentioned Killer, they added the place name as Batang Killer.
On festivals, people get together, follow one or several accompaniment men who hold the Hu Qin and dance frequently while playing the Qin, and then shake their long sleeves like clouds and dance in the mutual transformation of singing and the sound of the Qin, and forget about it. The dance of Batang Killer is round, wild and smooth. Under the sound of the piano, which is not loud, but clear and tactfully, the dance team gathers and scatters, and then follows the lead dance around, like Youlong wagging his tail, and then turns into a circle with his sleeves spinning, like a white lotus blooming. In addition, the combination of dragging, shaking sleeves, turning step by step, imitating peacock and other postures makes the whole dance rich in vocabulary and chic, which makes both dancers and viewers immersed in endless intoxication and unable to extricate themselves. Zhuo is generally referred to by Tibetans as "performing circle dance". And many of them have different "inspiring" performances.
since ancient times, Tibetans have believed that "drums" can bring good luck and joy to people, and they are indispensable instruments for seeking the blessings of the gods. However, in some sacrifices and festival dances, it is necessary to perform drums and dance.
A man with a flat round waist drum and a horseshoe-shaped drum pestle in both hands is popular in Shannan region of Tibet to inspire Zhuo Harmony, which is a kind of folk encouragement that people love very much and has a long history. It is said that this kind of "great encouragement" was created around the 8th century by Tang Zongjiebu, the founder of Tibetan opera and a Bai Lama, in the process of building an iron bridge to benefit the people and organizing a song and dance performance team to perform everywhere. The image of drumming and dancing in those days can still be seen on the huge mural of "Celebrating the Completion of Sangyuan Temple" in Princess Jincheng Hall of Sangyuan Temple built in the famous Tang Dynasty in Tibet. Those vivid "inspiring" images with flat drums waving and dancing are almost the same as those in Zhuo Harmony.
Rebazhuo and Reba belong to the performing folk dances in Zhuo. Except for Tibetans, it is difficult for many people to distinguish the relationship between them. Reba refers to an acrobatic song and dance program performed by vagrants for a living in the past. It includes three parts: "folk songs and dances", "bell drum" and "zaqu performance" with certain plots. Spread in Qamdo, Ministry of Industry and Tibetan areas in Yunnan and Sichuan provinces.
Rebazhuo, on the other hand, is a dance with "bell drum" and various difficult skills. The performance of "Rebazhuo" began with a special person offering auspicious and happy greetings, followed by dancing with bronze bells held by men and flat drums and horseshoe mallets held by women. First, they open the required venues by dancing in a circle, and then, women perform collective encouragement first. In the girls' dance with unlimited numbers and combining rigidity and softness, they show the unique graceful style of Tibetan women's dance with drum skills such as "top drum rotation", "head-wrapped drum beating" and "waist twisting". After that, it was a man's solo technical dance performance accompanied by women's drums.
The heroic athletes, one by one, won the applause of the audience with such actions as "jumping on the body", "turning on the body", "kicking the leg across the neck", "turning on one leg" and "jumping on the rabbit". At the request of the audience, with the accompaniment of drums, women with different routines and difficult skills can be encouraged to perform. The fast, intense, tumbling and dancing, dazzling and dazzling, is in sharp contrast with the feminine beauty and masculinity of the women's collective "encouragement" performed at the beginning of the program. Whether it is "Rebazhuo" or "Rebazhuo", the "bell drum" is loved by people because of its rich performance content, beautiful dance and difficult skills.
After the founding of New China, Reba, which wandered all over the world, disappeared. However, Reba on the Grassland, a dance based on Rebazhuo by literary and art workers, won the bronze prize in the world dance competition and won honor for the motherland.
