When it comes to national fitness in Tibet, we must not be able to avoid the Guozhuang dance with strong ethnic style and high participation of the masses. Guozhuang, also known as "Guozhuo", "Gezhuang", "Zhuo" and so on. When dancing, men and women form a circle and sing and dance at the same time, which is one of the ways to celebrate the festival, and as long as you join this dancing circle, you can be infected by the happy atmosphere in an instant. In 2006, Guozhuang Dance was included in the first batch of China's national intangible cultural heritage list. In recent years, with the popularity of various new media platforms, the topic of Guozhuang has often been on the list of major hot search platforms.
Hurry up, hurry up! Fruition is about to start! At about 7 o'clock in the evening, the crowd gathered in the Yishen Garden, the young people wore solemn Tibetan robes with a sense of ceremony, the elderly wore comfortable sports and leisure clothes, and tourists wearing jackets also participated in it, coming to experience "Guozhuo".
In the community, people unconsciously form a circle and talk about the world. In the center of the circle is a large portable speaker, a young man steps forward to turn on the speaker, and the people who are ready to go dance to the music. Or slowly swing arms or rotate rapidly, long sleeves dance, posture vigorous, both men and women, are immersed in the rhythm of the pot village. Even toddlers jump and swing their arms to the rhythm and atmosphere.
With the change of rhythm and speed of the dance, the dance circle slowly becomes two, the inner circle is the young people who dance better and the lead dancer, and the outer circle is the old people and beginners who can't keep up with the rhythm.
"Every time I see the video of jumping the pot, I want to rush into the screen and dance together, this time I watched it at the scene, the atmosphere was completely different, and I couldn't help but learn to dance with the 'big army'." Tourist Ma Shiwen told reporters excitedly. "I don't know if it's because I'm getting older or if Gozhuo's movements have become more complicated, but I can't keep up with the dance steps now. But I'm also happy to be infected by young people. Citizen Doza said with a smile.
"Look at that Han boy dancing so well!" Following the prestige, I saw a Han guy in a black jacket in the dance circle, with brisk steps and skillful movements, and easily integrated into the dancers in the inner circle, becoming the only tourist on the scene who could keep up with the pace of the dancers in the inner circle. "I laid the foundation for jumping pot in college!" Zheng Bin, a tourist, told reporters that he was a 21st graduate of Northwest University for Nationalities, and he often went to the playground with his Tibetan roommates to dance the pot village when he was in school, and over time he became a "pot master".
Zheng Bin worked in Chengdu after graduation, and he once went to Wuhou District to jump the pot. "I found that the movements of the pot village in Chengdu seemed to be different from what I danced at school, and I thought I was unfamiliar, but this trip regained my dancing confidence." Zheng Bin said that coming from a coastal city, he was very interested in Tibetan culture, but it wasn't until he went to university that he came into contact with the real Tibetan culture.
"Whether it is the daily dancing pot village or various cultural performances and festival performances, they have spread the national culture very well and made everyone feel cultural confidence." Zheng Bin told reporters that many of his colleagues can dance to the pot, and some can even sing a few Tibetan songs.
"Being able to see our 'Guozhuo' on the streets of Hangzhou Silk City, a sense of pride arises spontaneously from my heart." Tenzin Songhuan, a graduate student in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province, said that the Guozhuang dance has become a way for everyone to understand Tibet's excellent traditional culture, and it is also deeply loved by everyone because of its people-friendly dance form. Jumping in a circle on a section of the pot village, it didn't take long for the distance between people to get closer.
Tenzin Song's words resonated with many Tibetans who were working hard to study. Many young people say that Guozhuang is not only a dance, but also a cultural symbol. In Tibet, this dance that everyone can dance, the best embodiment of the core of Tibetan culture, if you want to understand the culture of Tibet, you can start by dancing the pot village!
In the course of the interview, the reporter felt that many young people love Guozhuang, and Guozhuang's "fire out of the circle" is not accidental...... Young people have gradually cultivated in their hearts the mind and consciousness of inheriting the excellent traditional culture of Tibet. All these have prompted more and more vigorous young people to become active inheritors, participants and disseminators of the excellent traditional Chinese culture, and build a bridge of dialogue from the past to the future for the excellent traditional Chinese culture.
