Lusheng dance is a folk dance commonly performed by the Miao, Dong, Shui, Gelao and other ethnic groups. It is mainly distributed in most areas of Guizhou and Yunnan provinces. There are many types of dances with various movements. The Miao Lusheng dance is mainly distributed in the Miao, Dong, Shui and other ethnic groups in the towns of Bakai, Leli, Pingyong, Tashi and Xinghua in Rongjiang County. The Lusheng dance performed by the Gunzhong Miao is the most unique. Rongjiang is located in the southern part of Qiandongnan Miao and Dong Autonomous Prefecture, Guizhou Province, spanning the Pearl River and Yangtze River basins, with a total area of 3,315.8 square kilometers and a population of about 330,000. Among them, the Miao population accounts for 26.57% of the county's population, mainly distributed in Guzhou, Sanjiang, Pingjiang, Langdong, Jihua, Xinghua, Bakai and Liangwang. Gunzhong is a natural village of the Miao nationality in Pingjiang Township. It is located on the back of the Lion Mountain, on a hillside about 9 kilometers north of the Pingjiang Township Government, 19 kilometers north of the county seat, and 740 meters above sea level. It has jurisdiction over 5 natural villages with a total of more than 80 households, inhabited by people with the surnames of Feng, Wang, Jiang, Li and Jiang. The houses are made of wooden tiles and are in block settlements. Farmers mainly grow rice, and also produce soybeans and rapeseed. It is a famous cultural city with a long history. There is still a site of the South City Gate. The Gunzhong Xun city wall with remnants around it is about 2 miles long. There have always been different opinions on the origin of the Miao Lusheng Dance, and there is no detailed record. According to local elders, it is said that a long time ago, an ancestor of the Gunzhong Miao nationality named Gouliang moved out from Jiangxi with his family. During the relocation process, he held a reed pipe in his hand and looked for a way out in the deep mountains and old forests. However, due to the lush forests and thorns, he could not find a way out at first and kept spinning around a circle (this is why the current Gunzhong Lusheng dance uses a circle as the performance track). The old lady behind him was tired and swung her hands in front of her chest (this is also the origin of the female hand movements in the Gunzhong Lusheng dance). Later, after going through numerous hardships and difficulties, he finally walked out of the forest and settled in Guzhou. In order to commemorate their ancestors, the descendants of the younger generation combined various labor scenes imitated from the labor process of life to create the Lusheng dance, and used the circle as the performance route. Now the Miao people call Rongjiang Gouliang just to commemorate their ancestors. Since then, this Miao people have expressed their respect for their ancestors by playing and performing Lusheng dance on many occasions. The movements of the Gunzhong Lusheng dance are basically similar, but different tunes are divided into flat, fast and slow, and the corresponding performance movements also have subtle changes. Playing Lusheng dance is the main way to communicate feelings between villages and within villages, enhance national cohesion and exchange production and life experiences. It is also an important way for young men and women to fall in love. There is no fixed pattern for the inheritance of Lusheng dance. It has been passed down to this day through family traditions of farmers and mutual learning and exchange between villagers and enthusiasts, as well as learning from teachers. The main inheritors of Gunzhong Lusheng dance are: Yang Shengqing, Yang Changfan, Yang Shengjun, Long Tongzhu, etc. The main feature of Gunzhong Lusheng dance is that the performance of Lusheng dance is a multi-person dance, with a flat and slow rhythm as the main line, gentle movements, and toes, ankles, knees, waist, hips, elbows and arms as the focus of movement changes. With the accompaniment of Lusheng tunes, hands and feet are flexibly matched in turns and rotations. In the performance, the upper body only swings left and right (there are big swings, small swings and fine swings), and the lower body follows the changes of Lusheng tunes, with circles as the performance track, advancing and retreating, orderly in the staggered, and brisk rhythm. The performance of Gunzhong Lusheng vividly reproduces many life scenes of the Miao people during migration and after settlement. It often appears in weddings, funerals, new house completion, sacrificial activities, and festivals, providing convenience for the communication of young men and women. At the same time, it plays a positive role in strengthening the mutual exchanges between people of all ethnic groups in villages and within the village, establishing deep national feelings, and enhancing national cohesion. Dance is the soul of a nation and a true reflection of the historical and cultural life of the nation. Many life scenes and cultures are directly or indirectly reflected through dance. In Gunzhong Lusheng dance, there are very few dance contents preserved to this day. Except for the movements and contents of love dance, which are still well preserved, the dance contents of entertainment, life etiquette, funerals, etc. have been lost, leaving only the music scores. Now, most of the performing masters who can play Lusheng dance skillfully and know the performance content in a large range are over 60 years old. However, young people today are influenced by foreign cultures and are not very enthusiastic about learning national dances. With the departure of the elderly, the inheritance prospects of dance are not optimistic, and there is a situation of lack of successors in the inheritance issue.
