【亚洲·越南】越南泰族摆手舞 Art of Xòe dance of the Tai people in Viet Nam（2021年）

泰族摆手舞（Xòe）是越南舞蹈的一种形式，其动作象征着仪式、文化、生活和工作中的人类活动。它在仪式、婚礼、乡村节日和社区活动中表演。xòe有三种主要类型：仪式、圆圈和表象。仪式性和表演性的xòe舞蹈以某些表演中使用的道具命名。例如，有围巾xòe、圆锥形帽子xòe、扇子xòe、竹竿xòe、音乐xòe、棍子xòe和花xòe。但最流行的形式是圆形xòe，舞蹈者在其中形成一个圆圈，并进行和谐的表演。基本动作包括举起和张开双手，然后放下双手并紧握邻人的双手。舞者们跟着有节奏的脚步，微微拱起胸膛，向后倾斜。舞蹈动作虽然简单，但象征着对社区健康与和谐的祝愿。舞蹈配有各种乐器，包括葫芦琵琶、口琴、鼓、锣、钹和芦笛。器乐与人声以及女性腰间挂着的银首饰的叮当声融为一体。xòe舞在家庭、舞蹈团和学校中代代相传，已成为热情好客的象征和越南西北部泰族人的重要身份标志。

Xòe is a form of Vietnamese dancing with movements that symbolize human activities in ritual, culture, life and work. It is performed at rituals, weddings, village festivals and community events. There are three main types of xòe: ritual, circle and presentational. The ritual and presentational xòe dances are named after props used during certain performances. For instance, there is scarf xòe, conical hat xòe, fan xòe, bamboo pole xòe, music xòe, stick xòe and flower xòe. But the most popular form is circle xòe, wherein dancers form a circle and perform in harmony. The basic movements include raising and opening the hands, then lowering them and clasping the hands of the adjacent person. The dancers follow rhythmic footsteps, slightly arching the chest and leaning backwards. Although simple, the dance movements symbolize wishes for community health and harmony. The dance is accompanied by various musical instruments, including gourd lutes, mouth organs, drums, gongs, cymbals and reed flutes. The instrumental music blends with the vocals and the jingling of the silver jewellery hanging around the waists of the women. Transmitted from generation to generation within families, dance troupes and schools, the xòe dance has become a symbol of hospitality and an important identity marker for the Tai people in north-western Viet Nam.
