A Study on the Inheritance and Protection Strategies of Yunnan Dai Dance
Main Article Content
Abstract
This study focuses on the inheritance and protection of Yunnan Dai dance, a representative intangible cultural heritage of China, which carries the historical memories, nature-worship beliefs, and aesthetic wisdom of the Dai people. Against the backdrop of globalization and modernization, Dai dance is confronted with such challenges as inheritance discontinuity (intergenerational gaps), commercial alienation, and limited dissemination channels. By adopting methods of literature review, field investigation, case analysis, and comparative study, this paper systematically sorts out the artistic characteristics, current inheritance situation, and existing problems of Yunnan Dai dance, and extracts core artistic elements and practical experiences from successful cases (including university teaching reform, new media communication, and the integration of culture and tourism).
Ultimately, this study constructs a four-dimensional inheritance and puts forward specific implementation strategies. It aims to promote the transformation of Yunnan Dai dance from “static protection” to “dynamic inheritance”, not only providing a path reference for the sustainable development of Dai dance but also offering a replicable practical paradigm for the protection and innovation of ethnic dances in countries around the world.
