Since the 21 st century,the mass culture brought by cultural globalization has exerted a huge impact on the traditional culture of our country.A typical example is the provincial intangible cultural heritage "flower stick dance" of Yao Village in Poitou Town,Quannan County,Ganzhou City,Jiangxi Province.Since its creation,this unique dance originated from the Yao traditional ceremony "Emperor Ceremony" has been improved and spread by two non-genetic successors.The tea picking opera troupe of Quannan County Cultural Center once brought the dance to Beijing for performance.It seems that it has been inherited.In fact,due to the influence of the market-oriented commercial mass culture,the inheritance and development of the provincial intangible cultural heritage of stick dance are faced with great challenges.This study takes the intangible cultural heritage of Jiangxi Province as the main object,takes the inherator Zhao Guansheng,choreographer Yu Dongsheng,and actor Lin Shen of the tea picking Opera troupe of Jeonnam County as the subjects,uses the creative techniques of intangible cultural heritage documentary,takes the time sequence as the main narrative structure,and completely records the origin,development and inheritance status of the dance.It focuses on showing the relationship between the performance form of huaduwu and different inheritors.Through the inheritance attitude of inheritors and choreographers and the protection measures taken by government departments such as cultural centers and county troupers,it highlights the diversity of huaduwu under the market mechanism and shows the diversity and complexity of the inheritance of huaduwu.It also shows the influence of different inheritors’ values and positions on the diversity of stick dance under the current market mechanism.It expresses the influence of different inheritors involved in the inheritance and development of stick dance in the process of it becoming a folk art form,and the change of the performance form of stick dance on its existing form and function.It provides a reference for further discussion on whether the flower stick dance can play its cultural identity in daily life under the domination of market mechanism.From the perspective of documentary director,this paper analyzes and expounds the film from the aspects of creative ideas,narrative techniques and innovative points.The documentary Yao Village Stick Dance is not only a record of this folk art form,but also an important practice for the protection and inheritance of intangible cultural heritage.Although there are still deficiencies in the study of intangible cultural heritage documentaries in this paper,it is hoped to enhance people’s understanding of such intangible cultural heritage documentaries,so as to study and protect intangible cultural heritage in order to study its cultural value Provide convenience with connotation.
