Nuo dance is the main form of "Nuo dance". It was originally a ritual dance for worshipping gods and expelling epidemics, and later developed into a Nuo dance for entertaining gods and people. Nanfeng Nuo dance is spread in 180 villages in Nanfeng County, Jiangxi Province. It is widely spread and is a popular folk dance form. Nanfeng Nuo dance has a long history and has undergone several evolutions. Fu Taihui's "Jinsha Songshi Nuo God Identification Record" in the early Qing Dynasty recorded: "General Wu Rui of the Han Dynasty was the ancestor of Zhou Gong, and Nuo was passed down to quell evil spirits." It can be seen that Nuo dance was already in the Nanfeng area during the Han Dynasty. After more than a thousand years of development, by the Ming and Qing Dynasties, Nanfeng Nuo dance absorbed a variety of performance skills such as opera, puppets, lanterns, and martial arts, becoming more secular and entertaining. After the founding of New China, the traditional Nuo dance is still passed down among the people, continuing the lifeblood of its grassroots culture. The Nanfeng Nuo ritual has a complex structure, consisting of Nuo dance rituals, miscellaneous Nuo rituals, etc. The Nuo dance ceremony consists of the basic procedures of starting the Nuo dance, dancing the Nuo dance, and expelling the Nuo dance. There are three types of miscellaneous Nuo rituals: "jumping bamboo horses", "jumping harmony", and "jumping the Eight Immortals". There are many dance forms in the Nanfeng Nuo ritual, and 82 of them are preserved, including the single-person dance "Kaishan", "Zhong Kui", "God of Wealth", and "Nezha", the multi-person dance "Jumping Judge", "Nuo Gong and Nuo Po", "Duel", the skill dance "Performing Arhat", "Guanyin Sitting on Lotus", "Puxian Riding an Elephant" and the dance drama "Journey to the West". Nanfeng Nuo dance masks have different shapes and various appearances, with as many as 180 kinds, including gods who drive away epidemics, folk gods, Buddhist and Taoist gods, legendary heroes, monsters and animals, secular figures, etc. There are many props and instruments used, which can be mainly divided into five categories: weapons and military equipment include axes, knives, guns, etc., ritual instruments include iron chains, peach swords, palm leaves, etc., lamps, candles, cannons and sticks include torches, candles, etc., food offerings include three animals (meat, fish, chicken), etc., and daily utensils include hand towels, mirrors, wine glasses, etc. Nanfeng Nuo dance is rich in content, diverse in form, strong in local flavor, and profound in cultural heritage, and is deeply loved by the people. With the strengthening of economic globalization, modernization, and urbanization, the environment on which Nanfeng Nuo dance depends for survival has undergone tremendous changes. The traditional folk ecological support is gradually lost, the artist team is short of successors, and the Nuo class is gradually reduced. In view of this, it is urgently needed to be protected and supported.
