What is the funeral dance of Jingpo nationality like?

After a long primitive period, with the social reform, economic development and productivity improvement of Jingpo nationality, the folk dance of Jingpo nationality has developed correspondingly under the mutual influence of economic and cultural exchanges with neighboring nationalities. However, this development and evolution mostly focused on the content, adding new content to the original art form, such as the agricultural production and architecture content in the current songbook and the whole song, which reflected the production situation of Jingpo society in the initial stage of agricultural society. There are also some dances that rarely change, such as Jinzhai Village and Sigang Village, which still retain relatively primitive art forms.

Jingpo people are good at absorbing and digesting foreign cultures. After moving south, they contacted the local Dai, Lisu and Han nationalities, and constantly absorbed the excellent culture and art of foreign nationalities, enriching their folk dances.

The whole song is to absorb and draw lessons from the elephant foot drum of the Dai nationality and integrate it into the national dance to create the "elephant foot drum dance" with the characteristics of Jingpo nationality. At the same time, the elephant foot drum is also widely used to accompany other Jingpo folk dances. Dingge is formed by absorbing Lisu's "string dance" and combining Jingpo's own content. The introduction of foreign culture provides conditions for absorption and reference, which is of positive significance to the development of Jingpo culture, education and art.
