"Dynamic Yunnan" is a large-scale song and dance drama which compromises beauty of traditional ethnic group culture and the power of modern ethnic group customs. It deconstructs the most raw and original ethnic group song and dance, and presents dense nationality amorous feedings. Because of this drama, the actors and actresses who moved from countryside to the city of Kunming lead two whole different lives at the same time. Moving to Kunming means that their lives are totally changed compared with their previous lives, and that the behavior itself leads to a great affection of the conflict of modern culture to the ethnic group actors and actresses. But they cannot part with their own traditional culture, they have to adopt and struggle in the new habitation and gradually develop into a new compromised living style. Two whole different living styles compromised and mixed up properly. To some extent, they are different from those who move to city and find a blue collar work. They work as an actor or actress to earn their own bread and milk, even for their families who still stay in their hometowns. They get the access to meeting public figure YangLiping, work with her,discuss with her about traditional culture. It is no longer an issue about their incomings but more about their total change of their values, experience and aesthetics.In the new habitus, the actors and actresses have experienced the transform from a peasant to a performer. After they have moved to the city of Kunming, not only did they have to adjust to the new living style of urban area, but also they have to face the adjustment of their company which they work for. This is a huge moment for them. Their salaries are often used to pay for their own lives in Kunming, and also when they have additional money left,it will goes to their families in the hometown to improve their lives,too. The actors and actresses have accommodated the present living style, and they stick with their old customs, they have to keep up with the modern living style. Acculturation is not about losing all the essence of tradition culture, but about deconstruction and reconstruction of traditional and modern culture. Acculturation is the critical path of enabling ethnic group traditional culture to survive and develop in modernization and urbanization. Only by taking part in the modern acculturation can the inheritance and development of ethnic group culture have a bright future.
