浅谈广西毛南族祭祀舞蹈——还愿舞

A Brief Talk on the Ritual Dances of Maonan People in Guangxi——Vows Dance

毛南族是我国人口较少的山地民族之一。毛南人一生必须要做一次还愿仪式,来向神灵祈求人畜兴旺。毛南族人在还愿仪式上跳一种还愿舞,毛南话叫"条套"(即跳还愿舞)。这种舞蹈节奏明快,伴有简洁的语言,虽然面部用面具遮住,看不到面部表情,但通过手、腰、脚等的舞蹈动作能充分地揭示他们的内心世界,也充分表现出了人物的性格和各种情感。这种舞蹈是毛南族人民创造出来的一种文化艺术,已于2006年被国务院批准,正式列入我国第一批国家级非物质文化遗产名录。
