从民间游戏到民间艺阵——台湾传统表演艺术“车鼓”的起源与演变

From Folk Games to Folk Art——The origin and evolution of Taiwan Residents traditional performing arts "Che Gu"

流行于台湾地区民间的“车鼓”,是一种载歌载舞、轻松逗趣的传统表演艺术,它源于闽南的民间游戏,其中歌唱部分来自男女对唱的“褒歌”,舞蹈部分则模拟先民的生产活动,借此自娱娱人,也展现地方的生活智慧。后来“车鼓”演变为民间艺阵,每逢地方庙宇有重大庆典,居民即会自发性地组织、练习及演出,演员的装扮、阵容及演出方式也都更加讲究。近年来,开始出现活泼创新的营利性车鼓阵,也有以运动休闲为主的娱乐性车鼓阵,开启“车鼓”向文化产业与民间体育发展的契机。
