National dance problem

Most of the dances of Hani people are related to drums, some of which are accompanied by drums, while others directly use mang drums as props, beating and dancing. In the Hani language, it is called "blocking the road gets credit", which means "jumping up to encourage". Drum is an important symbol of a nation and a village, and it has become a medium for people to send information to God. There are grains and herbs in the drum, which symbolize the prosperity of the population. They can only be struck in earthquakes, burning houses, eclipses, wars, festivals and other occasions. The word "Dongnini" in hani language is translated into Chinese as reckless encouragement. The inspiring way of dancing is that several strong men beat gongs and drums hard and rhythmically, while others take turns dancing in the middle. Dance movements are changeable at any time, divided into men's movements and women's movements. Men's movements have a bold and exciting style, which makes people feel bold and powerful; The woman's action is to hold two small wooden sticks about half a foot long and dance gracefully, easily and gracefully, giving people a comfortable and pleasant enjoyment. In addition, there are solo dance, duet and group dance. The basic movements of all kinds of dances are the same, but the details are different. Its basic movements are: one foot forward, knees bent, toes pointing to the ground, often lifting up when dancing, legs bouncing; Squatting on the other foot, sitting under the hip, hands alternating up and down. When squatting, palms outward, hands close to the body, from the chest to the waist; When you stand up, your arms are slightly open and encircle your chest. The upper body twists with the dancing of the arms. The hips swing from side to side with great amplitude and elasticity, which can be described as very exaggerated and natural. It can be said that "twisting" and "swinging hips" are the styles and characteristics of "Dong Nini". The body is constantly ups and downs in the twist. Dancing also includes drumming with both hands, leaning back and jumping up and drumming with the back of your hand from under your raised legs. Dance also shows the style characteristics of "stability and liveliness" and "ups and downs in torsion". The so-called "down stability" means that when dancing, the lower body moves calmly, steadily but not dead, and there is life in stability. This "stability" embodies the long-term hard struggle of the Hani people.

"Upward movement" means that the twisting of the upper body and the dancing of the arms are regular, powerful and freely coordinated. The fluctuation of "twist" is one of the main styles of "Dong Nini" and the main dynamic feature of dance. "Twisting" is as thick as "swinging hips" and as thin as "twisting the waist of a loach". Although "ups and downs" is the * * feature of Hani dance, "ups and downs" in Dong Nini has its own characteristics, that is, "ups and downs" are mostly beats, while "downs" are mostly remakes, showing the characteristics of sinking center of gravity and downward rhythm, showing an ancient, deep, simple and rough rhythm and style.

Dong Nini's accompaniment instruments are bronze chimes and cowhide drums. The drums have a distinct rhythm. Dance movements are one and two, and the sense of rhythm is very particular about showing the beauty of rhythm, strength and rigidity. Dancing "Dong Nini" is usually after drinking, taking advantage of drunkenness and slight drunkenness, and then let the mood sink into the solemn and quaint drums and dance. When dancing, there are no joints and muscles in the whole body, and the arms and shoulders, waist, hips, legs and feet are hard. The action is deep and rough, vigorous and flexible, and the feelings are simple and sincere.
