Features: Dance, as an art form created by humans through human movement, can be said to be one of the most popular art styles among various art forms. It projects human social survival status and emotional accumulation into every gesture, reflecting the depth and breadth of human culture. Chinese dance, as a traditional ethnic folk dance, further embodies this unique function of dance. This book is divided into several main parts: overview, brief records, historical relics, biographies, and charts. Each province (municipality, autonomous region) is published in separate volumes, based on first-hand materials from actual investigations. It systematically records the history, current status, content, forms, styles, and evolutionary characteristics of ethnic folk dances in each province (municipality, autonomous region), as well as related seasonal customs, beliefs, and rituals. The selection of dances from each province (municipality, autonomous region) does not consider cross-over or overlap, aiming to ensure the accuracy of the data and preserve local characteristics. This book first systematically records the historical origins, evolutionary styles, performance forms, musical accompaniment, costumes and props, as well as related seasonal customs, beliefs, rituals, arts and crafts, and literature and archaeology of Inner Mongolia's folk culture, filling a gap in the history of Chinese cultural materials and research.
