石榴籽·同心圓 | 基諾族:大鼓定音“最後一個被確認的少數民族”
基諾族,是中國最後一個被確認的少數民族。
The Jinuo ethnic group is the last ethnic minority officially recognized in China.
在基諾族神話傳説中,他們的祖先是從大鼓裏走出來的,所以基諾族人們世代崇拜大鼓,視大鼓為聖物。
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.
大鼓邊緣裝有一圈類似太陽光芒的木製裝飾物,因此也被稱為“太陽鼓”。
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.”
在過去,只有在“祭家神”“打鐵節”等重要節日時才能敲響大鼓,平時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.
大鼓舞作為一種古老而神聖的民間舞蹈,把基諾族的舞蹈、音樂、民俗等融為一體。
The big drum dance, as an ancient and sacred folk performance, integrates the ethnic group’s dances, music, and customs.
表演時,將鼓放置在架上,邊敲邊舞,舞蹈動作柔中帶剛,鼓點節奏鏗鏘有力,展現基諾族勤勞、勇敢、個性張揚的民族性格。
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.
對於沒有文字的基諾族來説,大鼓舞成為向世人展現本民族文化的載體。
For Jinuo people, who have no written language, the big drum dance has become a vehicle for showcasing their cultural heritage to the world.
大鼓舞裏的很多動作來源於與大自然的關係,基諾族當年直接從原始社會一步跨入社會主義社會,也曾經長期處於貧困狀態。
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,那一聲聲震撼的鼓點,敲出了基諾族人們奔向美好生活的節奏,鄉村旅遊、茶葉種植、發展電商……基諾族人們的鼓聲越敲越響亮,生活越過越紅火。
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.
