What are the ****ing similarities between ancient sources on the origins of dance? Urgently requested.

Dance is one of the oldest art forms of mankind. In ancient times, it was a tool for primitive humans to communicate their thoughts and feelings. It originated in human productive labor. Movement and rhythm are closely related to labor. No matter what kind of labor, hands and feet are always active, hands are jumping and feet are trampling. In the constant repetition of certain movements, which produce regular rhythms, accompanied by shouts or blows against stones and sticks, the most primitive dances appear.

In the primitive tribes of mankind, dance was completely socialized. With loose organization and unstable lives, a social induction was needed to bring them together. Dance was an important means of producing this induction. Whether it was hunting or war, the whole tribe acted together, so the primitive dance was always collective.

In order to give the tribes a ****ing symbol of sameness, totems came into being. Totem is not only a symbol of tribal differences, but also a primitive religious belief. During prayers or celebrations, people would dance to their totems. This is known as totem dancing. Totem dancing is the same among primitive peoples all over the world.

North American Indian tribal dance buffalo dance, they are superstitious buffalo and their own tribes have blood relatives, dancing this dance buffalo will appear and let them hunt: Australian Aboriginal dance snake totem dance, the dancers tattooed the face of their own tribes in honor of their ancestors. The dragon and the wind were the totems of the ancient peoples of China.

Because each tribe merged with each other, the Dare Totem could not represent the entire tribal confederacy*** with the same ancestor, and dealt with totemic features, such as the horns of the deer, the body of the snake, the fish scales, the eagle claws and fists, a full-fledged image into the image of the dragon synthesized in the image of the peacock, the pheasant, and other features, and the family name of the ancestor, who represented the supreme ruler, "the emperor! They represented the symbols of the supreme ruler "Emperor" and "Heavenly Success". Later, the dragon and the wind symbolized the development of the Chinese nation and the beginning of its culture.

Extended information:

Primitive dances, though always performed in ensemble, have their own origins. In the primitive social period, human beings in the long-term production and labor, the brain gradually developed, after the exercise of the limbs, especially the hands become very dexterous, so they can use the limbs to express complex emotions. At this time, people in the production or life encountered happy and joyful things, sometimes unconsciously, "the hands of the dance, the feet of the", when this special expression of emotion in a fixed form to spread, the original dance also came into being.

Because dance originated in labor, it was at first a simple reproduction of the conditions and rhythms of productive labor. The "Lv's Spring and Autumn Annals - Ancient Music," which is cited in the preceding paragraph, describes "the music of the GeTian clan, with three men manipulating the tail of a cow and throwing their feet to the song of eight queues," and depicts a dance close to the primitive form, with "throwing their feet to the song of eight queues," which means "stepping on the foot to make a beat. Because of the lack of documentation, it is difficult to describe the details of the original dance.

After the liberation, the archaeological work has discovered some valuable primitive dance materials, quite a reference significance. For example, in 1973 in Datong County, Qinghai Sun Jiazhai belongs to the Neolithic era of burials, found 5000 ~ 5800 years ago, a colored pottery basin, pots painted on the upper part of three groups of dance, each group of five people, slightly sideways torso, the head of the pendulous ornaments, behind the back of the tail there is a decorative, about the disguise into the appearance of the birds and beasts. The five are holding hands and moving in a beautifully coordinated manner.

This is the earliest dance image found so far, and it is precious. Another example is the petroglyphs of the Black Mountain in Gansu, discovered in 1972, which show some people in dancing postures in addition to animals and hunting.

After entering the class society, there are more records about various dances in ancient books. The "six dances" recorded in the Zhou Rites, the Spring Officials, and the Dasi Le, are extremely famous. In particular, it is rumored that Zhou Gong made, the performance of King Wu of Zhou to conquer the Shang Dynasty "Dawu", the most spectacular dance scene.
