In Qiang language, it is called "Shalang", which means "singing and dancing" in Chinese. The Qiang people sing love songs when they are in love, sing sad songs when they are unfortunate and depressed, sing happy songs when men and women get married, sing funeral songs when their relatives die, sing drinking songs at New Year gatherings, sing folk songs when they are tired of working, and are used to dancing and singing in a circle. Let's look at the development of Shalang from a historical perspective. As early as the Shang Dynasty, the ancient Qiang people were completely engaged in nomadic life. In a specific environment, they offered sacrifices to the sky in the form of "sacrifice", and the sacrificial activities were very large and grand. Sacrificial dances have their origins in sacrifices. "Shalang" evolved from sacrificial dances. With the development of the times, it has become a collective dance form with strong self-entertainment. Later, artists went deep into the folks to collect and organize them and promote them.
