Andai Dance of Mongolian Nationality
Mongolian Andai Dance, the traditional dance of Kulun Banner in Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, is one of the national intangible cultural heritage.
Andai Dance originated from the Kulun Banner. According to textual research, Andai Dance was formed in the late Ming and early Qing Dynasty. At that time, the Kulun system was "the unity of politics and religion", with numerous temples and monks. In the mid-Qing Dynasty, a large number of immigrants from all over the country rushed into the grassland, and the cultural customs of different tribes and regions mingled to create the culture of the Kulun Mongolian nationality, which gave birth to Andai dance with a broad mass character. Andai usually takes place during festivals or leisure time. One singer leads the crowd and hundreds of men, women and children sing and dance. Andai dance has a strong self-entertainment, distinct national characteristics and strong flavor of life. It is relaxed and pleasant, easy to learn, singing along with the choreographer and full of appeal. Men and women, old and young, can enter and jump without time and place restrictions. Just follow the rhythm of the music and step with the lead singer.
On May 20, 2006, Andei Dance of Mongolian nationality was approved by the State Council of the People's Republic of China and listed in the first batch of national intangible cultural heritage list, the heritage number: III-29.
historical origin
Andai dance, which spreads in the eastern part of Horqin grassland in Inner Mongolia, originates from a religious dance, and is used to pray for the protection of gods, dispel evil spirits and eliminate disasters, and relieve illness. In the past, singing as dancing has strong national style and healthy and active artistic characteristics, and it is a brilliant and wonderful flower in Mongolian folk art treasure house.
In the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties, Andai Dance, a dance of praying for the protection of gods and eliminating evil spirits and calamities, rose in Horqin grassland of Inner Mongolia. Andai dance has a distinct national style and a strong flavor of life. It is a landmark brand of grassland culture and a wonderful dance flower that Mongolians are proud of. In Inner Mongolia, people have to dance Andai Dance at festivals, harvest celebrations, weddings, funerals and reception banquets.
In the late 1950s, the Andai Dynasty was divided into "traditional Andai" and "Xin'an Dynasty (Andai Dance)". The Xin'an Dynasty is the evolution of the social development of the traditional Andai Dynasty. It is an art of singing and dancing with entertainment as its purpose and aesthetic quality. It is the most well-preserved dance of the Mongolian dance art forms with the longest history.
After the founding of New China, productivity and medical level have been greatly improved, Andai dance has also been separated from the "traditional andai". Andai "Bo" became a folk artist, Andai also became a real dance art. The wooden pole or broken axle in the center of the early Andai farm disappeared, so people no longer danced around the circle facing the centre of the circle. The props of Andai Dynasty have developed from bell whips, towels and skirts to red silk towels (now yellow, green, pink and other colors). Andai Dance has become a popular form of self-entertainment.
Since the 1950s, Andai Dance has shaken off the shackles of old customs and formed typical folk activities. Literary and artistic workers are constantly striving for aesthetic sublimation and making it onto the stage. In addition, researchers go deep into the field, collect and sort out the traditional Andai dance, and dance directors constantly absorb folk nutrients and boldly innovate practice, so that Andai dance appears in people's vision with a new look.
Since 1957, the old artist of Erdunbara put Andai on the stage as a song and dance art program, which attracted everyone's attention. A large number of literary and artistic workers have made in-depth field visits to learn from the old artists and the art of singing and dancing in Andai. Since 1957, "Andai Dance" has appeared in people's vision like "Spring Bamboo Shoot" after the rain.
In 1958, the old artist of Erdunbara danced "Andai Dance" to Beijing, which caused a sensation and was warmly welcomed by people. In August 1959, "Andai Dance" went abroad and was invited by Mongolia to participate in the "Sino-Mongolian Friendship Years" and performed "Andai Dance". In the 1960s, there appeared a representative form of performance, which was reduced from multi-person Andai dance to double Andai dance "Happy News".
In the 1990s, a large-scale opera "Song of the Andai Dynasty" was created, which laid a foundation for the spread and development of the Andai Dynasty and played a role in promoting it.
