metadata.name: dc.description.abstract
metadata.value: The article deals with the actual problems of the inheritance of the ethnic traditions of shamanic
  culture in the modern song and storytelling dance art of the genre of comedy miniatures
  Erzhenzhuan of northeast China, which have preserved elements of the culture of shamanism in traditional art. In China, the term shaman first appeared in the historiography
  of the Southern Song Dynasty (南宋) over 800 years ago. Shamanism in a broad sense is a
  multicultural tradition, and at the same time integrates various ethnic cultures, including folk
  beliefs, traditional medicine, etc. Erzhenzhuan (二人转) is a folk song and storytelling dance
  art, when performers sing, tell and dance at the same time. In this case, the dance of the sorcerer
  in shamanism developed into a unique form of Erzhenzhuan folk art as a secularization
  of religious classics. Later, the sorcerer’s dance became the Balaman dance (巴拉莽式舞), the
  Balaman dance became the Yangge (秧歌), the Yangge became the Erzhenzhuan. The article
  traces the history of the development of the Erzhenzhuan style as a folk art with strong local
  characteristics. Erzhenzhuan was first recognized by the national literary and artistic circles
  of China in the fifties of the 20th century. The first Erzhenzhuan program was presented by
  the northeastern delegation of the People’s Republic of China. Very interesting are the original
  ways of performing songs, storytelling and dancing, such as Danchutou (单出头) and
  Lachansi (拉场戏). The transformation of the shamanic attire into the modern costume of
  Erzhenzhuan performers is interesting. The following describes the musical accompaniment
  of sacred prayers preserved from shamanic sacrificial songs. At present, Erzhenzhuan is not
  only flourishing in the northeast of China, but also popular with the entire Chinese people.
  Erzhenzhuan is now becoming more famous in the rest of China because many Erzhenzhuan
  performers appear on television and star in TV series. In the process of research, it is supposed
  to determine that in Erzhenzhuan there is an influence of the culture of shamanism on
  the costumes of performers, song, storytelling and dance art in a conceptually fused syncretic
  form.
