The performance form of Changyang Bashan Dance

In addition to retaining the original forms of songs, dances, drums, and music, the distinctive rhythm, and the rough, primitive, simple, and unrestrained style of the mourning dance, Changyang Bashan Dance has made reforms and innovations in many aspects. . The original "mourning dance" can only be performed by men. It is said that "if a woman dances in mourning, her family will be destroyed." However, Bashan dance has allowed women who could only watch in the past to enter the stage and become a dance in which men and women sing and dance in pairs. The second is to move the "mourning dance" from the limited space in front of the narrow mourning hall to the mass cultural square and artistic performance stage where thousands of people gather, making it a kind of unique artistic taste, strong appeal, simple and easy to learn, and wide-ranging participation. The masses sing and dance in the square for their own entertainment. At the same time, Bashan Dance structurally breaks the boundaries of many old programs and popular areas and absorbs the essence, such as the "Wind Swinging Willow" which is developed and combined by refining and developing part of the movements of "Inverted Fork with Rhino Looking at the Moon" and "Pregnancy Song" , "Half the Moon" is a combination of movements such as "waving the hips", "walking with trembling steps while shoulder-carrying", "waving hands forward and backward with trembling steps", "holding flowers in both hands" and so on. The dance movements are more cheerful, abandoning the sense of depression in "mourning dancing", and the postures are more graceful. Musically, Bashan Dance eliminates the sad and gloomy traces of mourning dance music, while adding string and percussion accompaniment to make the music more optimistic and lively.
