Dances of Minority People
少数民族舞蹈
Each minority people or aboriginal group of China has its own folk dance forms. The Miao people of south western China, for example, developed a lively form of antiphonal singing and competitive dance； the aborigines of Taiwan，influenced by their island life and environment, created hand-holding line dances as part of a harvest ritual. Folk dances directly reflect the lifestyles and customs of a people, and in addition to their artistic value as dances, they are a precious part of China's cultural heritage.
中国各少数民族或原住民组都有自己的民间舞蹈形式。例如，中国南部湘西苗族人， 发明了形式活泼的对歌和有竞争力的舞蹈;台湾土著居民，由于受他们的岛屿生活环境的影响，创造了手拉手跳舞的舞蹈作为收获的一种仪式。民间舞蹈直接反映了一个民族的生活方式和习俗，除了他们的舞蹈艺术价值，他们也是中国的文化遗产中珍贵的一部分。
