The Inheritance Status of Yi People's Chiming Dance

The chime of Yi people is not only a folk dance, but also an epic historical picture. Although Yi folk songs and dances are extensive and profound, due to many factors, the chime dance has also been impacted by the times and is facing an endangered situation of gradual extinction.

There are several factors that restrict the inheritance and development of chime dance. First, many young people of modern Yi nationality are greatly influenced by China culture, and the impact of modern culture also has an impact on them, which leads to their low enthusiasm for their traditional culture and their conflict with their ideas, and many excellent national cultures cannot be passed down well. Secondly, Zhu Shi Township is rich in mineral resources. With the continuous development of economy, the economic awareness of local villagers has also been enhanced. Young people's pursuit of economy has surpassed the power of cultural heritage. Many young people go to mine or go out to work, which indirectly affects the inheritance and development of national culture. Thirdly, with the continuous departure of the older generation of folk artists, the number of dancers who can perform chime dancing has decreased year by year, and only a handful can appreciate and grasp the charm of chime dancing. Coupled with the influence of modern media, a new generation of young people can't take over the burden well, which greatly affects the inheritance and development of chime dance.
