Cultural Ecology and Changes of Tujia Waving Dance in Southeast Chongqing

Abstract

Asone of the most significant cultural symbols in the Tujia region of southeast Chongqing, the waving dance is a sacrificial dance with waving as the basic movement and is one of the most symbolic cultural forms in the region and an artistic production reflecting people's spiritual temperament and ideological crystallization. The key to strengthening the sense of community of the Chinese nation is the sharing of regional culture and the cultivation of cultural identity. The understanding of it should not be separated from the historical and realistic context. This paper tried to explore appropriate ways of the existing problems of "cultural context fracture", "folk belief ambiguity", "changes of transmission mode" and so on. By constructing the regional historical memory and cultural identity, the effective protection of culture and the construction of spiritual civilization can be realized.
