南丰傩舞—“中国古代舞蹈活化石”

Traditionally, the Nuo dance is vigorous and dignified. The dancers all wear vivid, lifelike, wooden masks with different expressions.

传统傩舞充满活力和威严。表演者都戴着生动逼真，表情各异的木制面具。

The dancing forms are rich and the movements diverse and the dances are also highly narrative because they absorb the essence of Chinese myths and legends.

因吸收了中国神话和传说的精髓，傩舞形式丰富，动作多样，也高度叙事。

With the development of Chinese society, the Nuo dance began to lose popularity in most parts of China, and now it is only performed in remote townships and ethnic minority areas as a form of ancient sorcery.

随着中国社会的发展，傩舞在中国大部分地区不再那么流行，现在作为一种古老的巫术形式，只在偏远乡镇和少数民族地区进行表演。

The Nuo dance is a favorite folk dance in the villages of Nanfeng County.

傩舞是南丰村民最喜爱的民俗舞蹈。

According to local history, the Nuo dance was performed in Nanfeng as early as the Han Dynasty (206 BC-220 AD) to dispel evil spirits.

据当地历史记载，南丰有傩，自汉开始 (公元前206年-公元220年)，那时傩舞用来驱除邪灵。

Nowadays, the Nanfeng Nuo Dance has absorbed various performing feats from operas, puppet shows, and martial arts and gradually developed into an entertainment.

如今，南丰诺舞已经从歌剧、木偶剧、武术中吸收了各种表演技艺，并逐渐发展为一种娱乐性的风俗活动。
