The Inheritance Significance of Yi People's Chiming Dance

With the development of the times, the content of chime dance has also changed. Deduced from a single funeral dance, the content of "chime dance" mainly shows the traditional production and life scenes. After artistic treatment, the content is healthy and the style is simple. In the struggle with nature, the ancestors of the Yi people waded through mountains and rivers, cleared roads on every mountain, bridged bridges when encountering water, fought bravely with wolves, tigers and leopards, and then plowed men and women to thrive. Because the Yi people have the custom of singing and dancing in weddings, funerals and funerals, and the chime dancing has a wide range of people, it has been passed down from generation to generation and maintained a good original ecology. Today, the Yi people's chime dance has lasted for more than 2800 years. Wu Guihong, director of the Hezhang County Cultural Bureau, believes that the chime dance contains profound Yi culture, which not only has unique dance artistic value, but also has historical, ethical and philosophical cognitive values. As an indispensable spiritual lifestyle of the Yi people, the chime dance can play a positive role in inspiring the national spirit and enhancing the spiritual realm, which is worth inheriting and developing.
