Waving dance is a traditional dance of Tujia nationality, which was held in Youyang, Xiushan, Qianjiang, Yongshun and Longshan in Hunan, Laifeng and Enshi in Hubei, Yanhe and Yinjiang in Guizhou. Among them, in Youyang County and Xiangxi Autonomous Prefecture, the hometown of waving dance, waving dance activities are the most popular.
The waving dance mainly reflects the lifestyle of Tujia people. The place where swing dancing is performed is called the swing ballroom. A osmanthus tree or pine tree was planted in the middle of the waving hall. After the Spring Festival, Tujia people will put on holiday costumes and gather in front of the waving hall to dance and sing waving songs.
Ancient swing dance was mainly used for sacrifice and prayer. In Longshan, Hunan Province, swing dance is called "Sabah Day", Baojing is called "Adjustment Year" and Yongshun is also called "Sabah", but its folk significance is for prayer.
In recent years, foreign culture has gradually penetrated into Tujia areas, and young people are unfamiliar with local culture, and the number of people who inherit it has gradually decreased. The ancient waving dance is facing the embarrassing situation of being lost.
