Tujia Dance is Ran from the western plateau of Sichuan horse back to his hometown, the Tujia culture after five years of investigation and contemplation of a stirring outpouring. Poet said, these five years of days and nights, because the Tujia culture in the inner nature of the mystery revealed at times and her outbreak of temptation, so that his thinking never stopped. Once, in the square to watch the folk dance Tujia pendulum dance performance, the magnificent music and performers stretching neat dance, at once let him catch the poetry of the entry point, until the composition of the "Tujia Dance" of 21 poems all written, has been buried in the heart of the block to be released.
The greatness of "Tujia Dance Song" lies in the poet's genius in writing the national psychology, national character and national culture of the Tujia people. 21 poems, although each of them expresses a small theme, the poet structurally intends to divide the whole group of poems into several series such as Sheba (waving hands), drumming, funeral dancing and witch songs, forming several sub-themes in the form of "multi-act drama". But the poet structurally divided the whole group into several series, such as Sheba (swinging hands), drum dance, funeral dance, witch song, etc. In the form of "multi-act play", several sub-themes were formed, and these sub-themes were sublimated in the 20th transition and 21st sublimation, which in general made the whole world of the national spirit that the poet wanted to write about to be poetically highlighted.
As early as 2000 years ago, the ancestors of the Tujia people in the Wuling Mountain area, in the Han people have not moved into this piece of "barbaric land" before a large number of people, the Tujia people are insulted called "Wuling barbarians", "" Wuxi barbarians", "Tuding", "Tumin". After the Han Chinese moved in, "Tujia" began to appear as an ethnic name, calling themselves "Bizka", meaning "local people".
Because of discrimination by the feudal ruling class in old China, the ethnic identity of the Tujia people could not be recognized for a long time. It was not until after the founding of New China that the Tujia people were recognized as a single ethnic group through ethnic identification, and the Tujia people's ethnic politics, economy and culture were able to develop rapidly. Tujia people live in the Wuling Mountains closed lock geographical location and topography and landscape in the Han people moved into the cultural impact brought about by the unique Tujia culture has a new open temperament. Especially the party's national policy of illumination, so that the Tujia culture from the long river of history began to awaken, Tujia culture of the living soul to "home".
Sheba: Carnival" poem, from the outside, is the poet in the long history and culture of the Tujia people known as the pearl of the Sheba dance (also known as the pendulum dance) poetic lyric, but as a record of the Tujia people's life history of the national dance of all the hardships and joys, the poet is to use her to write and eulogize the Tujia people's resilience and upwardly mobile national character. "A group of women harvesting oats" keep "simple and innocent", and they step into the new age with the "footsteps" of the blind and ignorant love, marriage and childbirth in the traditional secular world. "Their "simplicity and innocence" is a kind of national self-improvement in the traditional culture of the Tujia people, which has been passed down from generation to generation. Their "simplicity and innocence" is a kind of national self-respect in the traditional culture of the Tujia people passed down from generation to generation, and their positive acceptance of the new way of life shows the openness of the Tujia culture; "those men with bulging tendons", who have experienced all the sufferings and difficulties for generations, are never "untamed" and will never "back down". The "tendons" that bulge in their bodies are a powerful manifestation of the hardy and resilient national character of the Tujia people.
"Sheba: Carnival", "costumes", "forehead smeared with chicken blood grandmother", "head wrapped in silk handkerchiefs" mountain ghosts, "miasma", "forest", "miasma", "forest", "miasma", "miasma", "miasma", "miasma", "miasma" and "miasma". "miasma", "forest demon", the totems "white tiger" and "eagle" ....... Poetic imagery so that the whole poem is filled with the mysterious color of the Tujia culture, these Tujia people's unique mysterious culture, not only enough to make a person's "heartbeat", but also enough to engage in cultural studies, folklore research experts in the study of the Tujia people constructed a brilliant academic corridor.
"Apricots cling to peaches, hedges to vines/Under the sky, there are people who love each other everywhere" ("Waving Hands: Spring") is a portrayal of the Tujia people's warm and hospitable national character; "I'm raising the flowers, you're grouting them" ("Waving Hands: Summer") is a portrayal of the Tujia people's industriousness and perseverance, as well as the Tujia people's ability to work hard to keep the flowers growing. (Waving Hands: Summer), is a depiction of the hard-working and persistent national character of the Tujia people; "The fields are gathered" and "the earth is relieved" (Waving Hands: Autumn), is the boldness of the Tujia people's national character; in winter, even when "the words freeze in the corners of their eyes", "the words freeze in the corners of their eyes", "the words freeze in the corners of their eyes". In winter, even if they are "frozen in the corners of their eyes with raw words", they "have to wear all the fires they have experienced/all of them on their backs" ("Waving Hands: Winter"), which is the strength of the Tujia people's spiritual qualities.
The group of poems "Sheba" expresses the poet's heartfelt praise for the national spirit through the poetic discovery of the Tujia national character and culture. "Sheba! Sheba! Sheba Sheba Bizka!" Like a main theme, resounding in the whole poem, and like a main line, running through this group of poems, again and again the living soul of the Tujia culture awakening, again and again the inner qualities of the Tujia culture to get the "carnival" and soaring.
This group of poems, "Inspiration", consists of attachment, cleanliness, secrets and destiny, and the whole group of poems focuses on the theme of the history of the destiny of the Tujia people. The poem, "Frying the Yellow Cane with the Help of Daylight/Extracting Sugar with the Help of Prayer" is a reproduction of the destiny of the Tujia people. In writing about the struggle of the Tujia people against their fate, the noble optimism of the Tujia people is expressed in the words of the poem:
One Herb to Pester Disease
One Bed to Fight Nightmares
One Axe to Build a Ladder to Heaven
One Pair of Bamboo Chopsticks to Explain Life
- "Inspiration: Destiny" (鼓舞：命运)
The poet is not simply returning to tradition from modernity, but in his optimistic and open-minded observation and reflection, based on the development of the times, he tries to let the national culture release a new light and energy: "The god who fled from the famine has come back," and he wants to "The fairy who escaped from the famine has returned", he will "answer the butterflies in the classroom of flowers"; "The spring that escaped from school has returned", he will "jump into the suona and lift up the palanquin"; "The magpie that escaped from marriage has returned", he will "jump into the suona and lift up the palanquin". "The magpie that fled from marriage has returned," and he will "put his face to the Wujiang River, and shed tears in the Wuling"; "The sun that fled has returned," for "I used them-- -I used them to boil oil!" .
In addition, Ran Zhongjing, in his view of the history of the fate of the Tujia people, also tries to build a "clean" world for us through the discovery of the intrinsic qualities in the history of destiny:
The green vegetables, carrots, garlic and wild onions
-Washed in stream water
-. -Wash in the stream
Rough hands, big feet, hoes, plows and harrows
-Wash in the sunlight
Tearfulness, love songs
......
The poet discovered through the Tujia folk culture "funeral jumping" that "a dark coffin" is actually "a tree, stooping down to hold itself", and also the human life "crossing the trap "After returning to their "home".
The culture of ghosts and gods has cast a shadow over the traditional culture of the Tujia people, but the poet has removed the ignorance and ignorance in the traditional culture by rationally "deciphering" and "prophetically" with the philosophical "stupid question".
A person who doesn't reply to a letter has forgotten
the foreign land of the flesh? Is his vacation
longer than a life performed without rehearsal
-"Mourning: A Question of Obsession"
The series "Mourning" is a "tribute" to the ignorance and backwardness of the mysterious color of the national culture. ".

The series of "Witch Songs" is the love of the great self of the Tujia people in pursuit of innocence, supreme goodness and perfection. The beautiful character of the Tujia people, who are kind and generous, can "hollow out" the poet like walnuts:
The loved ones, who are heart-breaking and heart-wrenching,
I have always been on the walnut tree
watching for you
- "Woo Song: Walnuts" - "Woo Song: Walnuts" is a series of "Woo Songs", which is the pursuit of the pure, good and perfect love of the Tujia people. Of course, I also have to make fire, boil medicine, and massage the back of my father, who has toiled all his life / and finally fell down with asthma ......" ("Witch Song: Tonight")
The suffering of loved ones is the "wave cluster" that ignites the Tujia people's egoistic love, "Dear Tujia people, I want to make a contract with the cricket / to lend all the silver coins in his voice / so that I can pay for the four semesters of schooling for the star. "Dear fate, why did you let me / see so much suffering / why did you let me have love, and love", suffering in the rhythm of love, so that the spiritual qualities of the Tujia people are exalted.

High-fives, foot-stomping, twisting, belly-shaking, arm-lifting, sleeve-shuffling
What a bright rhythm
What a stirring rhythm
Far and near, love and hate, brewing and enjoying
We are both at the same time
- Maugus: We Come"
"Maugus" is known as the living fossil of Tujia culture and the "epic" of the Tujia people. The most primitive and ancient "Maogus" is the "queen" of the "Tujia Dance" large-scale group poem, which is the poet's careful and prudent conception.
"We come, we must accept", "we come, we can not give up", "we come, we can not get rid of".
"If we come, we can't refuse", "If we come, we are destined to be glorious", the poetic feelings in the succession of fierce jumps and wanton catharsis, so that the Tujia national culture "bears the fruits of madness ", but also for the Tujia character to win the "epic" dignity, more so that the national spirit of the Tujia won only the sun is worthy of the "eternal".
