History Origin
Because the Tujia people have the tradition of worshipping the white tiger as their ancestor and taking the white tiger as their totem, people have the idea of using the dance as a medium to lead the soul back to their ancestors in the sacrificial "dance of funeral drums". Therefore, in the dance, there are many imitations of tiger washing face, wagging tail, walking, predation and other movements. Especially when performing "Tiger Down Mountain", the performer leaps, holds, sucks legs, bends himself, then looks at each other, bumps elbows, and then jumps into a bow step. At the same time, the right arm turns around, and the mouth emits a burst of howling. The vivid image of the performer can be described as "Tiger Hunting".
In the performance of "funeral drum jumping", the core dance segments of "Big Four Step", "Big Four Gate", "Small Four Gate", "Funeral jumping" and "Shaking Funeral" all use the syncopated rhythm of 6/8 beats, i.e. three beats per step, full foot deep grasp, the first step, two or three beats shaking, two or three feet alternating, just like the attitude of a tiger steadily marching in the mountains. So "Dancing the funeral drum" is also known as "White Tiger Dance".
historical origin
The Tujia nationality's "Dancing the Drum" in the Tujia nationality area of the Qingjiang River Valley in northern Hunan Province, spreads a kind of unique ancient funeral folk song and dance, "Dancing the Drum", also known as "Dancing Salhao". In the Shanzhai village, no matter who old people died, it is necessary to invite the master to come home to play the funeral drum. That night, Suona played high, gongs and drums played loudly, firecrackers did not stop. At the sound of the drum, people from the neighbouring villages rushed to mourn.
The so-called "hears the drum, the footboard itches", "people lose their homes, one dozen drums and two help", "can not afford tofu to send emotions, dance a night of drum funeral to send the dead" and other statements, really reflects the Tujia people for the elderly to enter another world and the special emotional way of singing and dancing in mourning the dead, comforting the living. This kind of traditional funeral dance, which still preserves the legacy of ancient Bayu dance and bamboo branch ci, is contained in the Tang Dynasty's Manshu. It is still the most appropriate portrayal of "the parents'first funeral, drumming and mourning, singing and dancing".
In Tujia funeral custom, because Chuang Tzu is considered to be the ancestor of funeral drum beating, before performing the dance of funeral drum with a set of routines, a special drum beater must cooperate with the opening singer, and the opening ceremony should be a burst of drum beating and then drum beating. Then Chuang Tzu should be in place before starting.

Performing Form
Wufeng funeral dance "Dance three drums" originally named "Dance three drums". In 1952, the funeral drum dance was renamed "Dance three drums" because it had three contents of "Congratulations on birthday, funeral drums and filial piety songs", and was named "Dance three drums" in 1983. Although it is interpreted as the proper name of "birthday celebration, drum mourning and filial piety song", three drums dancing is mainly performed in rural funeral.
The biggest difference between funeral drum dancing and triple drum dancing is "dancing". From music, dance to lyrics, funeral dancing has little sense of grief, high music and joy, and vigorous and brave steps. There are songs and dances in funeral dancing, and dancing is more important. The whole dance changes the playing card, rhythm and dance posture with the drums and singing tunes of the applauders.
Jumping three drums is only used in funerals with the Han nationality. Legend originates from Chuang Tzu's "song of drum basin". Three drums are performed by three or four people, singing separately and sitting singing separately. The standing singing is accompanied by one person beating drums and two people beating cymbals. There is an interlude between the main part of the song. After the drummer, the drummers beat the drums. The two actors each hold a cymbal (called "cymbals" in Shishou dialect), beat it with chopsticks and sing in rhyme. The cymbal is originally a magic weapon of witches. Its pronunciation is sad and harsh. It is transmitted in the cold night and the fresh wind, which makes people alert. Therefore, the triple drum dance itself has the function of exorcising ghosts and dispelling epidemics.
But in order to increase entertainment and attract audiences, the lyrics are also full of humorous elements. Their contents are very wide. The life stories of the deceased, historical legends and daily life are all the subjects of singing. The lyrics are mostly four sentences and seven words, one rhyme to the end, maintaining the metrical form of some ancient music cards. After each song, the two singers swap positions, which is probably the change of the dance.
