Xinjiang city of Kashgar in western China's most
The years 1997-2000, a period of impressive
Night dance party arranged in Kashi, Kashi Prefecture Song and Dance Troupe of the actors to show us the various nationalities in Xinjiang folk art of dance. Although this is only a song and dance troupe in Kashi prefecture-level song and dance troupe, but they can speak on behalf of the Uighurs as the highest art, have a certain sense, the national level and even international standards. Kashi Troupe in 2000, Tianjin, Shandong and other cities in the Mainland tour everywhere caused no small response, the evaluation is high.
Xinjiang since ancient times, "song and dance of the villages," the laudatory name. Living in the here Uighur, Kazakh, Kirgiz, Tajik, Mongolian, Xibe, Man, Ozbek, Tatar and other ethnic groups singing and dancing, but also have their own characteristics.
We appreciate the well-known Uighur song and dance "12 Maqam", and "competition is Mu", "Long Knife Dance" and has a wide range of mass-based folk dance, "Macy to Fu", Uygur especially to song Shan Wu Zhao said that the beautiful women dancing posture, stretch generous, unrestrained male dances are energetic, enthusiastic and cheerful, highly Uighur ethnic characteristics; Kazakh and Mongolian is the national grasslands, on horseback nation, but also a love of singing the national , Kazakh folk musical, sonorous, the accompaniment of musical instruments in the Dongbu La grassland climate exceptionally strong. The Kazakh dance grooves of strong, rugged style of performance.
Is the first time, we enjoy a high level of ethnic minority music and dance performances, though did not understand, can not read, but we know it very focused, listened very carefully, can be said to revel in, too.
At the end, and has come to 11:30. Kashi and the mainland due to the time difference (time difference with Beijing two and a half hours), this time in Kashi, nightlife has just begun. The audience through a simple layout of the venue becomes a big dance hall, a beautiful young dancer who has not yet unloaded containers, those of us walked down the stage, the initiative to invite the guests from afar to dance.
It is time we feel embarrassed. Although not invited us to jump but the ordinary folk dance ballroom dance, but those of us mainland cadres, many people simply do not skip the dance, even at the dance also because of stiff, blush declined the invitation of a beautiful dancer .
Not only the local ethnic minorities in Xinjiang, where Han Chinese also love to dance, to see us in such an embarrassing, reception staff were surprised. Because I was the youngest, and they can not help but ask me: do not jump do or are there other reasons? My answer to make them dubious: we are from Shandong, is the hometown of Confucius and Mencius of ceremonies, and stress between men and women give and accept no pro, so most of them can not dance ~.
