One of the explanations is:
Tibetan folk songs and dances. Also known as Guo Zhuo. Usually divided into two categories: size and size. In Tibetan, Guo Zhuang is called "Dargadi" and Guo Zhuang is called "Dargan". Some places also have Central Guo Zhuang, which is called "Darga Ze". In the past, chiefs and chiefs were organized by the government to sing and dance teams or called villagers to dance for them on festive days. Private activities jumped into Xiaoguo Village.
When singing and dancing, men and women hold hands to form a circle or two rows of opposites. At first, one person led the singing, and then they sang and danced together. Dance includes bending, turning and so on.
The content of Daguozhuang is mostly eulogistic, often religious, and a few reflect the love life, good wishes and rebellious spirit of working people. At first, the tone was low, the tune was complex, there were many decorative sounds, and the speed was very slow. Every time it is repeated, the decorative tone will decrease, and naturally it will shift upwards by about half a tone, and the speed will increase. Finally, it will become high-pitched and passionate, leaving only the backbone tone.
Most small and medium-sized pot houses praise their hometown, labor, harvest and love between men and women. Guo Zhuang Jr. has a beautiful melody, cheerful mood and fast speed. All kinds of Guo Zhuang melodies are seven-tone melodies, which are often used in feather mode and angle mode. The folks in Guo Zhuang, Qamdo, used "the eagle spreading its wings" to describe its magnificent movements. In the adagio, the flexion and extension of the knees and the natural swing of the hands run through. Strong dance control. Allegro has a lot of quick kicks and double sleeves. There is no musical instrument accompaniment.
The second explanation:
Guozhuang dance is a group dance without accompaniment. In Diqing area, some places call Pot Village "Zhuo" (that is, dancing), while others call it "wiping" (that is, playing tricks). It has a long history, which can be traced back to before the 7th century. It changes with the development of Tibetan production and life. Therefore, there are labor songs and dances such as beating highland barley, twisting wool, feeding cattle to make wine, singing and dancing in praise of heroes, singing and dancing to show Tibetan customs and habits, and singing and dancing for men and women to get married, build new houses and welcome guests.
Pot dance is actually a kind of joyful dance, so whenever there is a festival, people will dance happily, regardless of age. For example, if you move to a new home, you will have a happy event when you get married, and you will have to dance all night on the Duanyang Festival during the Spring Festival.
Pot dance can be divided into "Qing Ni" (ancient pot) and "Qing Si" (new pot). The legend of Chani spread in Diqing during the time of the three kings of Tubo, which reflected the slavery society and primitive religious form and had the nature of sacrifice. Most religious people and the elderly like cleaning. The lyrics and dance forms are relatively old, such as the birth of Master Lotus Peanut, the establishment of Sanye Temple, the glittering temples with golden walls, the glittering palaces, the splendor of wealth, the harvest and so on. When dancing this kind of dance, only special lyrics can be sung, and it cannot be changed. Dance is generally slow, steady, simple and solemn. The lyrics and dances of the agency are flexible, reflecting productive labor and praising the development of agriculture and animal husbandry production and trade, such as "Northern Prairie", "Three Colors of White Porcelain Bowl" and "Above the Golden Dam". Ma Shi is a favorite song and dance of young people, and young people express their affection through metaphor pairing in Ma Shi's lyrics. Such as sandalwood and peacock birds, pine and cypress and Ying Ge, willow and cuckoo, snow mountain and red deer, forest and roe deer, grassland and flowers, fish and water.
The lyrics of Guozhuang Dance (especially Cheni) have a set of strict and ingenious rules of parallelism and metaphor. The rules of lyrics are: when singing the sky, sing the sun, the moon and the stars; when singing the place, sing Beijing, Lhasa and hometown. This fixed format is the most prominent in Cheney's lyrics, and it is also used in Essay's lyrics, but it can be used flexibly, improvised and freely.
There are many names of dances, namely qupai and epigraph, such as half-step dance, six-step dance, eight-step dance, rope dance, monkey dance, pastoral dance and so on. In Cheney's dance, it is not only the name of the dance, but also the inscription of qupai and lyrics. If the lead dancer sings the tune of peacock dance, the partner can only dance peacock dance and sing the traditional lyrics of peacock dance.
The dance steps of Guo Zhuang dance can be divided into two categories: Guo Zhuo (walking dance) and Kuzhuo (turning dance). The pace of "Guo Zhuo" starts from a single phase to the left, and the left and right feet hold seven steps as a section, so that the cycle begins, from slow to fast, the number of steps remains unchanged, the dance steps are simple, and the participants are easy to learn, so the number of people is very large. Kuzhuo's dances are varied. There are two and a half steps, six steps, eight steps, six steps plus time, eight steps plus time, monkey dance and so on.
Young people like brushing cheese. When dancing, men and women are usually separated, and the left hand is shouldered in a circle. There is no limit on the number of people Dance clockwise. The upper body leans forward, the knees tremble greatly, the stamping action is more, and the heel touches the ground or boots. A man's hips swing from side to side, and his hands only swing with him. The left arm of the female dancer supports or holds hands, and the right arm swings back and forth. There are more than a dozen sets of movements, such as walking in circles, pressing heels, monkeys reaching their feet, three-step turning, three kicks and hooks, peacock drinking water, mountain rabbit jumping and so on.
Guo Zhuang dances and sings, mostly for question-and-answer duet competitions. In the traditional duet competition, whoever has a comprehensive system of traditional lyrics will win. In the impromptu quiz, whoever has rich imagination and sharp thinking will win.
