What's the difference between Han dance and Tibetan dance?

Different nationalities have different natural styles.

Han dance, as its name implies, is a traditional dance of Han nationality in China, which belongs to China National Dance School. Han dance has a long history and a wide variety. Even the same kind of songs and dances will have their own characteristics and unique charm in style, dress and expression because of different regions. However, due to historical reasons, the original appearance of many Han dances has been lost. Now it generally includes classical dances of Han and Tang dynasties (stepping songs, harmony, etc. ) and Han folk dances (such as Shandong Yangko, Jiaozhou Yangko, Yunnan Lantern, Anhui Flower Drum Lantern, etc. ) are divided into dance circles.

China Han folk dances are not only rich in content, but also varied in types and styles. Even the same kind of songs and dances, due to different regions, will have their own characteristics and unique charm in style, clothing and expression. [ 1]

Song and dance activities of the Han nationality in China have been rich and colorful since ancient times, and with the development of history, they have never stopped spreading and developing. For today's urban residents, due to the high tension of work and life; The living space is narrow and the interpersonal relationship is relatively alienated; Foreign cultural factors, the introduction of high-tech entertainment and many other factors have made generations of future generations in the city gradually forget and leave, so that they simply don't understand and will no longer dance their own national dances. This often leads to the conclusion that the Han nationality has no dance.

The annual Spring Festival is the biggest and warmest traditional folk festival in China. People devote all their time and energy to the activities held during the Spring Festival, wishing the beginning of the Spring Festival and the renewal of Vientiane, praying for the prosperity of crops and people and animals in the future, and getting the only complete relaxation and pleasure of body and mind in a year.

As long as you live in an area where Han people live, almost the whole period from the end of the twelfth lunar month to the first month of the new year can be called the Spring Festival period. People are full of excitement, from making new clothes, cleaning houses, preparing sacrifices, preparing holiday dishes to preparing celebrations and performances. In order to realize their expectations for the new year. The first month of winter is the off-season in all agricultural areas of China, which provides conditions for planning and celebrating the Spring Festival. In the Han nationality, people celebrate the Spring Festival on the third or fifth day of the first month because of the difference between the north and the south, but basically the Lantern Festival on the fifteenth day of the first month is the climax and end of the activity. Of course, there are also some areas that will hold the "Reunion after the Reunion Year" on the 28th of the first month.

During the Spring Festival, there are still some folk song and dance forms that began in the Song and Qing Dynasties. Since ancient times, the Chinese nation has regarded dragons as totems. In the long years, the dragon has gradually been deified by people, regarded as the god who can not only ride the clouds, but also cross the river, dominating the drought and flood of farmland, and respected and worshipped by the Han people who make a living by farming. Therefore, in the Han nationality areas from south to north, during the Spring Festival, people sing, dance and play in the smoky and deafening firecrackers, and there are countless dragons in various forms. Among them, the most familiar one is Bulong or Cailong, which is huge, about 10 meter long and tied with colored silk.

Tibetan folk self-entertainment dances can be divided into "harmony" and "excellence". "Harmony" is mainly a collective song and dance form circulating among Tibetan people, which can be divided into four types: excessive gratitude, excessive Excellence (that is, excessive strength), heaping thanks and thanking. Later, simple upper limb movements, in-situ rotation and formation changes were added, which became a labor song and dance form of alternating men and women, singing and dancing. This kind of labor song and dance has been put on today's stage, becoming a memorial of labor art in history.
