Research On The Inheritance Of Dance In Harvest Festival Ceremony Of Taiwan's Ami Dianguang Tribe

Conclusions:Firstly,the study of religious rituals of festival songs and dances is a new and important topic in the scope of dance science.In the West,the study of religious rituals of Aboriginal songs and dances is more universal than that of Taiwan.The changing process of belief and the change and relationship of dance in the process of ritual make the body language of the dance convey cultural emotion through the process of ritual,and it practices the initiative of the subject in different space-time environment.Secondly,with the theory and research methods of Anthropology and dance,the dynamic action of the rituals is expressed by the rational and scientific way of thinking.So far,few people have explored such a way to express the clan's self-characteristics and image from the pattern of festival.Finally,the significance of festival songs and dances for the people of the tribe is a ritual activity of communicating with and thanking their ancestors.Apart from the cohesion of the strength of the tribal social system,it can also strengthen the emotional maintenance among the people of the tribe.The beliefs of worshipping ancestors and Christianity beliefs can bring spiritual sustenance to the people.From different rich and diverse forms of festival,Tourism Commercialization provides a strong demand for self-awareness and reflection on dancing,and presents sacrifices affecting traditional rituals in different ways.Since the Dutch occupation of Taiwan in 1642,the recent new system has made the indigenous culture almost distinct.Being through the Japanese occupation and Retrocession,the Aborigines were forced to intervene and assimilate.With the influence of foreign religions,the worship ceremony gradually declined and impacted the mainstream culture of the aboriginal ethnic groups.In the turbulent century,the social environment is facing new changes.Frequent contacts and marriages between different ethnic groups have made it impossible for children to acquire identity.The problems of indigenous people's adaptation to modern environment,consanguinity and cultural identity have emerged one after another.After the rise of ethnic consciousness,the period of cultural pluralism development,the new pattern of ethnic groups,and the fact that the same customs in the activities of different ethnic groups have been mixed,are applied,thus the cultural blending has no time and space limitations.In the eastern part of Taiwan,aboriginal tribes from south to North hold grand annual sacrifices one by one.Every year from July to September is the big day of the Amis on the East coast,where the singing and dancing continued to the northward until the next morning.In the early period,in order to survive and protect itself,each tribe had a strong regional concept,and went through different periods of historical and cultural power.The annual festival of the Ami nationality has regional characteristics from the northern Ami,the southern Ami and the Hengchun Ami painted in different regions.The content of the festival is rich,pluralistic,cultural and industrial.The main activities include river sacrifice,ancestor worship,patakus,age class,etc.It's hard not to be attracted by the singing,the beautiful costumes and the dancing body of the dancing wave when you step into the tribe for the annual sacrifice.And this scene has become a formal representation of Aboriginal dance,as it was recorded by predecessors as early as the eighteenth century.In this paper,Diaoguang tribe's Festival Dance in eastern Taiwan is taken as the research object,which is discussed within three parts:introduction,five chapters of the main body and conclusion.The introduction part introduces the standpoint of the study and puts forward the significance of the study on the dance of the Dianguang tribes.Chapter one shows the importance of matrilineal society and class system from clan migration and tribal formation of Dianguang tribes.The second chapter is about the daily life mechanism of Dianguang people,such as crafts,costumes and so on,which is the basis of understanding the characteristics of the festival dance.The third chapter is to analyze the dances in different stages of the festival.Through the oral and actual participation of the local people in the ceremony,it reflects the attitudes,perceptions and emotions of the Dianguang tribal people towards the festival dance.It also uses Laban's notation movements to record the dance movements and formation for a preliminary explanation.Chapter four shows the different forms and its combination to the tourism industry as well as the realization of the relationship between singing and dancing,religious beliefs and ritual of the Dianguang tribe practiced in different time and space.Chapter Five shows the social pattern of Dianguang people in cities and tribes,the way of facing the commercialization of festival tours in the harvest year,and their vision of the tradition.Dianguang tribes have different contact and cognitive experiences due to their space-time background.These experiences have become one of the elements of self-expression of the Amis in Hengchun.On the basis of fieldwork,and through the results of this study,this paper provides the cultural inheritance and commercialization of tourism of Dianguang tribes,as well as the understanding and practice of ethnic dance,and puts forward its own views and reflections.
