John Martin from the United States elaborated in Introduction to the Dance,“Sacrifice belongs to compensatory culture.In the society where there was no scientific method but the forces to control birth,death,illness,old age and the growth of crops are mysterious,only by sacrificial dance can people be free from fear.Various sacrifices of tension and relaxation enable us to identify with their performed experience so that we can find compensation for our personal overload and incompleteness”.Interpreted from the perspective of dance itself,the inheritance and development of traditional sacrificial folk dance is the artistic externalization of the cultural and psychological needs of the society at that time,a constituent element of national cultural memory,and a part of the continuity of social customs and ethnic cultures.Therefore,this paper will take sacrificial folk dance as the starting point of the study.Sacrifice has always been closely related to dance.This paper aims to explore the relation between the appearance and deep essence of sacrifice folk dance in Gaofeng,so that traditional sacrifice folk dance is no longer the self-amusement products of closed folk custom.On the contrary,it can be used to express regional ethnic art symbols and ethnic will,to reflect human consciousness to safeguard the survival of ethnic groups,and to meet the connotation requirements of people’s cultural appeal at that time.Through many field surveys combined with relevant knowledge,dance ecology and combinatorial choreography,a two-way research and exploration of theory and teaching combinatorial choreography was carried out to analyze the cultural overview,origin and development,dependent environment,cultural and style characteristics of sacrificial folk dance in Yi villages in Gaofeng,aiming to provide some reference value for the development of Yi folk dance.
