Abstract

The national intangible cultural heritage - "Dumb dance" is the "living fossil" of the human wedding custom dance. With the purpose of exorcising evil spirits and praying for reproduction, it integrates the Bai people's "sacrifice, song and dance, sports" as one. Dumb dance is the accumulation of art, sports and culture formed by Bai people in their long-term production and life. It has distinct national style and local color. Dumb dances have unique cultural, educational and sports research value. Through the study of these primitive and traditional intangible Bai cultural resources, we can help the public to understand the history, origin and development of the Bai nationality. This is conducive to promoting national unity, enhancing national pride and carrying forward the fine traditional virtues of our nation.
