The Cultural Construction of Self-Orientalism in Xinbin Shaman Shrine Music and Dance Performance
The Ji Tangzi(Sacrificing in Shrine)was an important part of the royal culture of the Qing Dynasty.Nowadays,in order to construct music culture in tourist,a Chinese Han nationality father and son group dress up as shaman who has ancestral family tradition to perform music and dance at the Shaman Shrine in Xinbin Hetuara City.Since they are dressed up,how do they sha-manize themselves in the process of dressing up?What kind of cultural construction concept is re-flected in their performance image?Based on the analysis,the author considers that the dresser gradually shamanized himself by learning to sing the shaman tune for god,strengthening the explicit symbols and deifying the shaman ability.Because their performance tends to be more like Tiao Dashen in folk,which reflects the self-orientation in the construction and performance of music and dance.And,the confusing of Xinbin area Man nationality familial ritual and Tiao Dashen of Han for a long time is an important reason for this phenomenon.This reflects the interaction,exchange and integration of cultures in multi-ethnic mixed areas,and also shows that the sense of Chinese national community has long been rooted in the folk.
