Algerian culture
Dance in Algeria is basically divided by regions, and each region has one or several representative folk dances.

The most popular dance in Algiers is the wedding dance. Dance shows the wedding customs in this area and is a collective dance in the wedding ceremony. Dance has only one basic footwork, but the formation is complex and changeable, and people keep shouting "Yo ……", so the atmosphere is warm and there is a special artistic conception. The dance in Algiers is generally characterized by tenderness, implication, slow rhythm, simple movements and changeable formation.

The dances in the Sahara region are represented by Saharan knight dance and horse dance. The dance shows a scene in which a knight trains a horse. When dancing, men hold muskets and horses are represented by women. The dance is mainly a group dance of men and women in pairs, with a single duet of "training horses" in the middle, showing the different skills of each woman's hips and feet. In this area, there are more movements at the foot of the dance, and the movement of the crotch is driven by the pause and entry of the footsteps. Different rhythms have different steps, but the movements of upper limbs are less. Because it is a pastoral area, knights and horses dance the most.

The dance forms in Kaberi area are particularly rich, and there are many dance words. Mainly hip movements, the movements are more intense and active. Dove dance is one of the most common programs in this area. It is a kind of game dance, which shows the plot of pigeons, owls and watchmen fighting. There is often a solo performance of a "pigeon" in the dance, which uses different techniques such as hip-shaking, hip-shaking sideways, hip-shaking quickly, hip-shaking round and so on to express the different expressions of the pigeon.

Algerian dances usually have dramatic plots, but there are also pure emotional dances. Jean Dali dance in Constantine is a kind of mass emotional dance in this area. During the performance, men and women form two circles and move back and forth with the beat of the music. Jean Dali sometimes dances solo, mainly for women.

Song and dance are the main features of dance of algeria. Accompanied by Arabic drums and Andalusian music, the lyrics express the content of the dance. Dance costumes have a strong Arabic color, which is basically similar to life costumes, but more gorgeous and fresh. Algerians pay great attention to etiquette and politeness. Whenever we meet or leave, we usually hold hands. When we meet close friends, some people also hug and face-to-face ceremonies. The most commonly used word in greetings and wishes is: "God bless you." They also like to be addressed by their own titles or titles and surnames. If a guest comes to visit, the host always treats him warmly. When a guest sits down, the host usually asks, "Do you want coffee or tea?" And guests can't get up and leave in a hurry before drinking.

Many places have the habit of meeting and sending flowers. They tie the bouquets beautifully, and the number of flowers is usually even. When visiting friends or guests, they bow and offer flowers and wish them good luck, which is regarded as a warm and elegant gesture to treat friends and guests. Algerians pay more attention to dining in social situations. I like the gorgeous furnishings and beautiful decorations on the dining table. Especially for modern services such as arranging napkins and sending incense towels, it is even more appreciated. They are interested in fresh vegetables. I especially like cooking with curry as seasoning.

The Duleg people in Algeria are a people who seldom eat meat. Their main food is camel milk and some starch products. Unlike people in other Muslim countries who grab food with their hands, they use spoons to make tableware. When they drink tea, they are used to putting two or three fresh mint leaves in the green tea soup and adding some rock sugar. They drink this way, which not only quenches thirst but also relieves summer heat, and tastes sweet. They are used to western food and enjoy Chinese food.

People who believe in Islam in Algeria account for the vast majority of the national population, so Islam is also the state religion. Only 1% people believe in Christianity and Judaism. Islamic Ramadan is very important in the eyes of Algerians. According to the canon, water and rice can't be touched all day from sunrise to sunset.

Although Algeria is one of the major producers of wine, and its products sell well in more than 80 countries and regions in the world, their own shops do not sell wine, their families do not drink, and even winemakers have never tasted wine. This is mainly because they are Islamic countries, and religious regulations prohibit people from drinking. They are afraid to pass things or food with their left hand. I think that my left hand is cheap and dirty, and it is extremely impolite to use it. They don't like to talk about the problems brought by politics and industry.

Muslims abstain from pork and avoid using pig products. Meat, blood, sea cucumber, crab, etc. Animal carcasses also fast; Don't eat ginger and fish-smelling food. Independence Day: July 5th (1962)
