Brief introduction of Yi people jumping vegetables:

Yi people's pan dance is also called "carrying pan dance", and Yi people's language is called "Wuqieba", which is a courtesy custom dance. It originated from ancient sacrifices and has been circulating in Nanjian Yi area for a long time. When Yi people hold banquets and provide food, this dance is often performed to respect guests and increase the festive atmosphere. Accompanied by "sacred music", dancers dance with plates or trays, with rotating sleeves and various postures, sometimes stiff and sometimes stumbling.

There are two common types of Yi people's skipping: "skipping during dinner" and "skipping during performance". "Skipping food at dinner" is based on "skipping food at dinner", and the main dance steps are various dance steps of singing. According to the different ways of lifting vegetables, "jumping while eating" can be divided into three relatively independent and integrated forms: "jumping with the head", "jumping with the mouth" and "jumping with the hand"

Historically, "jumping vegetables" originated from 1200 years ago in the Tang Dynasty, "Zhao Nansheng flourished" and "picking vegetables". After more than a thousand years of precipitation, "jumping vegetables" has been deeply rooted in the common folk customs of Nanjian and has become an important part of important folk festivals and banquets in Nanjian. The inheritance value lies in that the Yi people's jumping dishes reflect the joy of harvest and their yearning for a better life, and show their kindness, simplicity and hospitality, which has research value in primitive religion and folk culture.
