colors,which is spread in Jianghua Yao Autonomous County,Yongzhou City,Hunan Province.It originated from the legend of "King Pan",the ancient ancestor of Yao ethnic group,and was born out of the

has become an entertainment-oriented performance.As an intangible cultural heritage,it carries rich ethnic cultural connotation and great ethnic spirit,and has spiritual and cultural value and realistic value.In modern times,Jianghua Yao Long Drum Dance has formed a variety of heritage Spaces,such as festival performance heritage site,cultural center,school heritage base,tourism performance space and community activity site.Inheritance groups include representative inheritors under the policy system,general inheritors with high recognition from the government and the civil society,and ordinary people who master part of the jianghua Yao’s encouragement skills.The inheritance methods mainly include family inheritance,mentoring inheritance and organizational inheritance,and the inheritance contents include dance movement skills,performance instruments and costumes.The economic guarantee,laws and regulations guarantee and institutional guarantee of the state and government

first,the traditional villages lose their inheritance advantages,which are manifested in the outflow of rural population,the change of traditional mode of production,and the dilution of traditional festival customs;Second,the urban community inheritance has the limitation,the concrete manifestation is: The urban community space complements the position insufficiency,in the town interpersonal

others ” and focus on training the general bearers of long encouragement and encouragement,raise the awareness of inheriting young groups through various means,and strengthen the teaching and
