【亚洲·阿曼苏丹国】马和骆驼阿达 Horse and camel Ardhah（2018年）

在阿曼的许多地区，人们都练习骑马和骑骆驼。在阿拉达日（阿拉伯语中是“节日之日”），人们聚集在赛马场周围观看骑马和骑骆驼的人的表演，这些表演反映了阿曼人对付和驯服动物的技巧。传统艺术（如背诵传统诗歌）也伴随着示范。Alardhah以传统的表演开始，比如马匹和骆驼躺下，站着骑，与另一名骑手以极快的速度手牵手，以及其他类似的动作。接下来是马匹和骆驼的展示，上面覆盖着装饰性的衣服和漂亮的银饰。阿拉达与阿曼社会的许多社交场合有关，比如宗教和国家庆典。这种做法是农村和城市地区社会文化的一个组成部分，反映了高超的技能以及人们对动物护理的热爱。Alardhah既有男性也有女性，是传统乐队和工匠展示才华的机会。在社区一级，阿曼人在各种社交场合组织Alardhah，其中包括年轻人。民间组织在转移相关技能方面也发挥着关键作用，大学的马术团体教授学生马术技能和如何表演阿拉达哈。

Horse and camel Ardhah is practised across many regions of Oman. On Alardhah day (meaning the ‘day of the festival’ in Arabic), people gather around the racecourse to watch shows by horse and camel riders that reflect Omani people’s skill in dealing with and taming the animals. Traditional arts (such as the reciting of traditional poems) also accompany the demonstrations. Alardhah starts with a display of traditional acts, such as horses and camels lying down, riding standing up, joining hands with another rider at great speed, and other similar actions. This is followed by a display of horses and camels draped with decorative clothing and beautiful silver sets. Alardhah is associated with many social occasions in Omani society, such as religious and national celebrations. The practice is an integral part of the society’s culture in rural and urban areas and reflects great skill as well as people’s devotion to the care of animals. Alardhah involves both men and women and is an opportunity for traditional bands and craftspeople to display their talents. At the community level, Omanis organize Alardhah on various social occasions, which involve young people. Civil organizations also play a key role in transferring the related skills, and horse groups at the university teach students equestrian skills and how to perform Alardhah.
