祁门县社景村傩舞《游太阳》与汪华祭祀

Nuo Dance Sun Tour at Shejing Village in Qimen County and Sacrifice to Wanghua

傩舞《游太阳》属巫舞傩的一种。古代盛行于徽州府的祁门县,逐渐影响周边其他地区,如池州市青阳县等地。与其他地方相比较,从整体上来看祁门的傩舞更具有原始性,他们借助傩舞最质朴的肢体语言和粗犷的行为动作来表达对神灵的敬畏,从而抒发自己内心的情感与期盼。傩舞《游太阳》流行于祁门与黟县一些乡村,为祈求"五谷丰登"之傩仪,与当时"迎神驱蝗"、"祈以保苗"的农事活动有关,后来演变成为祭祀被徽州人奉为太阳神的汪华的一种特殊形式,起到了颂扬忠义和娱神娱人的作用。

Nuo dance Sun Tour is a kind of witch dance. It prevailed in Qimen County, Huizhou in ancient times and gradually affected other neighboring regions, such as Qingyang County in Chizhou. Com- pared with other places, Nuo dance in Qimen remains more of its original characters. The dancers express reverence for the gods by the simplest body language and rough behavior, which is also a way to express their inner feelings and expectations. Nuo dance Sun Tour, praying for ＂harvests＂, is popular in Qimen and Yi County. It was related to such agricultural activities as ＂welcome gods and drive off locusts＂ and ＂pray for seedlings＂, and has evolved into a special form of sacrifice to Wang Hua, the sun god in the heart of Huizhou people, to pay a tribute to loyalty and play the role of entertainment.
