The derivative form of original ecological dance is folk dance.
The so-called original ecological dance should be a folk dance with the meaning of "cultural source" which is less invaded by "modernization".
It is generally believed that the original ecological dance is square rather than theater, entertaining itself rather than performing, participating rather than watching, random rather than normative, labor-saving rather than deliberate, and inheriting rather than creating. Original ecological dance is a folk dance passed down by ordinary people in folk rituals or activities.
From the perspective of ethnology, folklore, ethnic and cultural psychology, we will find that the original ecological dance has the following spiritual and cultural connotations: worship with totem symbols as sacred power; Ritualness with the theme of life ontology; The theme of harmonious coexistence between man and nature; Popularity based on folk life.
The nature of original ecological dance:
1. Worship with totem symbols as sacred power.
Totem is the symbol and symbol of primitive clans and tribal groups. Totem culture, as the primitive accumulation layer that forms the deep structure of national culture and psychology, has the original significance of national culture, the source of national soul and human nature. The original ecological dance is to express totem worship or to take some animal action as a totem symbol as a dance action itself, so that it can gain the mark of group identity.
2. Ritualness with the theme of life ontology.
Ritual is a way of people's behavior, and ritual dance plays an important role in the original ecological dance. Ritual dance comes from reverence and dependence on supernatural gods. In primitive society, primitive religion, totem worship, witchcraft sacrifice and other activities are inseparable from dance. Ritual dance can be divided into two kinds in behavior, one is worship and the other is imitation.
third, the theme of harmonious coexistence between man and nature.
China is a traditional farming society, and the dominant idea in the relationship between man and nature is "the unity of man and nature". This concept is reflected in the primitive cultural psychology, that is, awe of nature and obedience to natural order, and on this basis, people and nature can live in harmony. The original meaning of "heaven" is "god", and people can only passively obey.
