Festival dance of national folk dance

In addition to these ethnic festivals, there are many ethnic festivals in various ethnic groups, most of which are accompanied by song and dance activities. For example, according to the survey of Bai Folk Dance in Yunnan Province (Yunnan Nationalities Publishing House199465438+February edition), the main festival of Bai people is "Around the Three Spirits" (April 22 -24 of the lunar calendar, the same below): it includes the whip of the overlord and the whip. "March Street Ethnic Festival" (March 15 -2 1 Sunday): There are horse racing, duet and large-scale mass song and dance activities. Tian Jiale or Sowing Gate (the date depends on the date of transplanting): There are songs and dances such as Hundred Birds Facing the Phoenix, Bullwhip, Fishing and Farming. "Shi Baoshan Song Festival" (July 25th to August 1 Sunday): duet, three-string performance, overlord whip, Buddha dance or witch dance, cave music. "Torch Festival" (June 25th): Dragon boat race, torch-playing, overlord whip and folk songs and dances. "Sea Lantern Festival" (July 22-23): lighting dragon lanterns, beating overlord whip and playing dragon and lion. "This main festival" or "this main meeting" (March, July and August, depending on the place): there are dances with gods, witch dances, overlord whips, singing Big Ben and so on. The phenomenon of singing and dancing in Bai festivals and customs is not individual, but universal. Some ethnic festivals are even named after songs and dances, such as Tujia people's "waving hands", which is the main activity of the festival. Therefore, traditional national festivals are often grand gatherings of national songs and dances.
