Which nationality is Yunnan woodcarving mask? Or from Guizhou? Is it Yunnan-Guizhou folk culture? Is it a blessing to exorcise evil spirits or a prop for local Nuo opera?

There are also Nuo operas in Yunnan and Guizhou, but the main performance is that the "local operas" in Nuo operas (introduced from the Yangtze River valley in the south of the Yangtze River in the Ming Dynasty) are all martial arts dramas that reflect historical stories, and there are no talented people and beautiful women. It can be said that some woodcarving faces are masks of Nuo opera woodcarving.

The relief mask of Dongba culture, mainly in Lijiang, Yunnan, influenced by ancient Taoism, is very different from Han Nuo opera, and the mask is similar to that described by Mr.

But what is certain is that the mask of Nuo opera is used to pray for exorcism and sacrifice to show respect and solemnity. Mr. Wang Can knows the specific situation of Nuo Opera, so I won't go into details here.

Mount Tai is also a place in Guizhou. The "Mount Tai" here should be the Chinese translation of this mask. My classmate Buyi didn't make it clear. This should be an ancient name. Because the Buyi people didn't have words in the past, it may be difficult for this "Taishan" to understand his original intention.

The ancient national cultures in Yunnan and Guizhou are closely related to the ancient Naman people in China. A large number of ethnic minorities, especially the Buyi people mentioned by Mr. Wang, are related to Gupuyue people. Their culture is related to the Huaxia nationality in the Central Plains, even homologous, but different. Therefore, it can be said that the woodcarving mask is not and cannot come from Yunnan or Guizhou, nor is it unique to any nation. When we consider Yunnan's national culture, we often study them as a whole with Guizhou and southern Sichuan.
