石榴籽·同心圆 | 基诺族:大鼓定音“最后一个被确认的少数民族”
基诺族,是中国最后一个被确认的少数民族。
The Jinuo ethnic group is the last ethnic minority officially recognized in China.
在基诺族神话传说中,他们的祖先是从大鼓里走出来的,所以基诺族人们世代崇拜大鼓,视大鼓为圣物。
According to the ethnic group’s folklore, their ancestors emerged from a giant drum, which is why the Jinuo people have revered the big drum for generations, considering it a sacred object.
大鼓边缘装有一圈类似太阳光芒的木制装饰物,因此也被称为“太阳鼓”。
The edge of the big drum is adorned with a ring of wooden decorations resembling rays of sunlight, hence it is also known as the “Sun Drum.”
在过去,只有在“祭家神”“打铁节”等重要节日时才能敲响大鼓,平时只能供奉在寨老家中。
In the past, the big drum could only be played during important occasions such as the festival for ancestral worship and the Temaoke Festival, and it was usually kept and worshipped in the home of the village chief.
大鼓舞作为一种古老而神圣的民间舞蹈,把基诺族的舞蹈、音乐、民俗等融为一体。
The big drum dance, as an ancient and sacred folk performance, integrates the ethnic group’s dances, music, and customs.
表演时,将鼓放置在架上,边敲边舞,舞蹈动作柔中带刚,鼓点节奏铿锵有力,展现基诺族勤劳、勇敢、个性张扬的民族性格。
During the performance, the drum is placed on a stand, while the performers dance with the drumbeats. The dance movements are a combination of grace and strength, while the drumbeats resonate with a powerful and robust rhythm, showcasing the industriousness, bravery, and expressive personality of the Jinuo people.
对于没有文字的基诺族来说,大鼓舞成为向世人展现本民族文化的载体。
For Jinuo people, who have no written language, the big drum dance has become a vehicle for showcasing their cultural heritage to the world.
大鼓舞里的很多动作来源于与大自然的关系,基诺族当年直接从原始社会一步跨入社会主义社会,也曾经长期处于贫困状态。
Many of the movements in the big drum dance are derived from the relationship with nature. The ethnic group, which transitioned directly from a primitive society to a socialist society, once suffered long-period poverty.
如今,那一声声震撼的鼓点,敲出了基诺族人们奔向美好生活的节奏,乡村旅游、茶叶种植、发展电商……基诺族人们的鼓声越敲越响亮,生活越过越红火。
Today, the resounding drumbeats echo the strides of local people in pursuing a better life. With the development of rural tourism, tea cultivation, and e-commerce, the unique ethnic group are increasingly passionate when playing the big drum as their lives become better-off.
