People in this multi-nationality-collected area formed the living pattern of whole scattering and minor inhabitation Languages, costumes, beliefs and customs are mutually blended. Also, dances have become the body experience shared by minority people at festivals. Although the ethnic identification and ethnic policies in 1950s intensified the inhabitants’ "Nationalities" identity consciousnesses and ethnic group boundary regrouping, the blending and symbiosis of cultural elements in daily life still become the current natural tendency.From the perspective of phenomenology, the article suspends the "nationality" issue, explores the dance original occurrence situations under non-established knowledge and non-established concept stipulations. The explanation on dancing starts from phenomena, integrates the research perspective and theories of anthropology, dancology and linguistics, and explores the process of scattered nationalities in social marriage, ethnic group coexistence, sharing and marks of dance, so as to concern the body practice in dancing of participants of different identities in cultural integration. At the same time, with the fieldwork first-hand information as the basis, then focus on the present society in the cultural exchange of different identities of the participantshave entered public life, gradually formed the body imprinted with multipleexpressions.As for the increasingly frequent and mutually cultural accelerating world in the present nationality exchange, the analysis on individual case of multi ethnic dance may bring enlightenment to the research, teaching and creation of the dance in multicultural collision.The article consists of introduction, text of five chapters and conclusion. The elaboration of introduction includes the description on research objects under "nationality" classification system, combines the individual cases of field investigation and proposes individual theoretical standpoints and research perspective. Chapter Ⅰ summarizes the living space of scattered cohabitation dances and presents the appearing background of the dance of the scattered nationality inhabitants from history, ethnic identity and inter-ethnic relationship. Chapter Ⅱ deals with the dance structuring of participants of different cultural identities through the site differences between texts and fields. Through the description of "phenomena", it proposes the research objects and research highlights of the whole text, exceeding the demarcated dance of "nationality". Chapter Ⅲ focuses on the individual case investigation of dancing ethnography of three typical villages to seek for the keys. Firstly, the dancing form of Shuifeng Village, Tongdian Town, which belongs to a Pumi nationality village speaking Bai nationality language has been spread as traditional dance of intangible cultural heritage. Thirdly, Lianhe Village, Hexi Township, is a Pumu nationality village speaking Pumu. The investigation on this village presents the difference of customs and dances in different areas of the same nationality. Thirdly,81 communities of Tongdian Town belong to multiethnic inhabitation. The article applies the field work method of anthropology to expound the dancing forms of voluntary participation from countryside people. Chapter IV discusses the body experience and emotions of a same dance of multi-nationality people through the native inhabitants’dictations, and deeply analyzes the dancing body language shared by the people on the basis of field work. Chapter V explores the survival conditions of ethnic dance from the mutual demand of various forces from the sharing of the two dimensions of villages and villages, and villages and outside world.Three conclusions have been made through the above analysis:Firstly, in the integration of scattered inhabitants’cultures, the bodies of people is not divided by "nationality", but jointly construct the body languages of group in the dialogue and sharing of body experiences. For the dance form, to avoid the "nation"to be the crystallization properties.The cognition on dancing requires getting the local knowledge, to form the supplement to the existing dancing classification system.Secondly, during the scattered inhabitants’nationality cultural contact, the body language is formed during the interaction of ethnic groups. While sharing the dance, people also share a cultural type and a living way. During this process, the sharing of body language also promotes the coexistence and harmony of multi-ethnic communities with the communication of mutual views of values.The national dance function can help people eliminate segment, formation of group identity.Thirdly, in the mutual demands between villages and the outside world, the body experience of people sharing is expressed as the prominent particular ethnic image among stage artistic images. The reconstruction upon "speech" of forces of all parties forms the transmitted and shared dancing "language" of the peoples in the field. The inheritance of tradition requires the intensification of the deep cognition and understanding between the cultural subjective and objective bodies, then the common cultural prosperity can comes after the beauty of "form".
