The formation of "Guo Zhuang" dance is basically round, but it can be divided into sealed and unsealed; The difference between men's and women's subsection stations and interval stations. The form and name of the dance team depends on the content of the songs sung for the partners. Qiang dance is basically sung and danced by dancers themselves, with few musical instruments accompanying it. Speed and rhythm depend on the lyrics and the dancer's mood. Therefore, among all kinds of "pots" that young people jump into, there are also lyrical pots that celebrate a better life, interesting pots that play games, and pots that express the love between men and women in different forms with humor and strong appeal.
Whenever young people bounce around in the "pot farm", there are many middle-aged and elderly women gathered around the wheat field. They are sunbathing and singing softly for the dancers. The warm sunshine and the joy of singing and dancing brought them back to their girlhood, where they often danced. Memories of happiness and longing make their wrinkled cheeks glow again because of the hardships of years. The style and taste of Qiang people's "Guo Zhuang" vary from village to village. Even in neighboring villages, the dancing methods and styles of some dances are quite different. The "Guo Zhuang" dance used by unmarried men and women to express their love and choose lovers is the most distinctive, lively, energetic and attractive to watch.
The "Youth Pot Village" in Kamm Township of Lixian County is a famous "Pot Village" dance for unmarried young people. On holidays, young men and women in Zuojin Village will wear their own embroidered costumes, such as pink robes, lake blue robes, aprons and "Yun Yun" embroidered with red, green, blue and black lace, and decorate the yard paved with loess like colorful flower beds.
On their angular and dark red faces, their bright eyes reveal youthful bodybuilding and unique Shan Ye vitality from time to time, which dwarfs the bright sunshine on the plateau.
I don't know under whose command, young people stood in an open circle in the form of men and women and began to dance. In the alternation of male and female lead singers and mixed chorus, the dance changes with the rhythm. They run, jump and dance under the big wooden frame erected around the yard to dry crops, just like several beautiful butterflies chasing, shuttling and playing in a wonderful fence, singing loudly.
What's more exciting is that every time the dance jumps to a section, the formation changes from the leading dance in the opening to the dance segment in which the "cabbage heart" rolls inward and outward. Young men and women face each other at close range, and shy Xia Hong immediately flies on the cheeks of many girls. At this time, the villagers on the sidelines will guess which young men and women are lovers through their happy eyes. Friendly discussions, laughter and frequent comments followed, pushing the atmosphere of "Guo Zhuang" dance to a more enthusiastic * * *.
In addition, the female pot in Shergut, Heishui County, is also a particularly attractive circle dance with interest and charm. And I heard that as long as the young girls here jump into the "pot village", it will touch the hearts of young people in several villages. Boys, no matter what is important, it is more important to look at the female pot.
Before the opening of the "Female Pot", girls with bright clothes and high spirits must first accept the chanting and blessing of the venerable old people in the village, and then start dancing according to the etiquette.
