《土家族摆手舞｜当一个动作成为族群的记忆》
摆手舞流传于湘、鄂、渝、黔四地，是土家族历史悠久的集体舞蹈。顺拐、颤膝、下沉等动律源自山地行走，动作内容涵盖农事、狩猎、迁徙与节庆，把族群的生活史与记忆结构收进身体。队形因场域而变，圆形与行列并存，让动作在群体间流动。摆手舞不是舞姿，而是一套通过身体连接祖先与当代的记忆方式。 The Tujia Baishou Dance, practiced across Hunan, Hubei, Chongqing, and Guizhou, is a long-standing communal dance whose core movements—sync-step walking, knee vibration, and grounded sinking—originate from mountain terrain. Its gestures reenact daily life: farming, hunting, migration, warfare, and seasonal rituals. With circular and linear formations shaped by local contexts, Baishou allows movement to flow through the community. More than a dance, it is a bodily system that reconnects ancestors and the present through shared rhythm.
