再议武术与傩舞的渊源关系

On the Relationship of Martial Arts and Nuo Dance

武术与傩舞一样起源于生产劳动,在狩猎驱赶活动中形成攻防格斗的习惯动作,都具有歌舞的性质。在原始社会时代,狩猎驱赶活动是武术萌芽的基础以及傩舞之根。在漫长的发展过程中,侧重扮演的就发展成为歌舞,注重实用的就发展成为武术,各自朝适应于自身规律的方向发展,从而形成不同的社会功用。两者又相互交融,特别是明清以来的傩舞融合了更多的武术内容与形式。总之,武术与傩舞在起源及发展过程中,两者同源异流,既相互交融又相互影响。

Both the martial arts and Nuo dance originate from the productive labor and are the offensive and defensive movements formed gradually in the hunting and driving activities. They also have the nature of dance. In the primitive society, the hunting and driving activities were the basis of the martial arts and the root of Nuo dance. During their long developing process, the movements stressing on acting develop into dance, while the movements stressing on function develop into the martial arts. Both of them develop towards the direction of their own laws, so they have different social functions. On th other hand ,the martial arts and Nuo dance blend with each other, especially since the Ming and Qing Dynasty, Nuo dance has absorbed many movements and actions of the martial arts.In a word, the martial arts and Nuo dance have the same origin and blend and influence each other in the process of development.
