《土家族毛古斯舞|祖先的身体》

毛古斯舞是土家族最古老的歌舞戏剧之一,被视为中国民族舞蹈与戏剧的重要源头。舞者披草为衣、以土语吟唱、以碎步与抖身重演祖先的农事、渔猎、婚俗与祭祀。本篇以“草身—祖事—族脉”为线索,呈现毛古斯如何让身体成为记忆的容器,使一个族群最原始的生活逻辑与祖先关系,在当代重新被看见与理解。 The Maogus dance is one of the oldest ritual dance-theatre traditions of the Tujia people and is considered a deep ancestral source of Chinese dance and drama. Dancers wear straw “bodies,” speak in archaic Tujia dialect, and use fragmented steps and shaking movements to reenact hunting, farming, marriage customs, and seasonal rites. Organized around the themes of “Straw Body – Ancestral Day – Lineage,” this essay examines how Maogus transforms the human body into a vessel of cultural memory, allowing the living to present their continuity to the ancestors.

《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.
