Nuo Culture in China

Nuo culture takes Nuo ceremony and Nuo ceremony as the core, Nuo opera, Nuo dance, Nuo custom and Nuo art as the main symbols. After more than 3,000 years of historical development, it has become a synthesis of multi-religious culture, folk culture and artistic culture. It is based on primitive culture, guided by the theory of Yin-Yang and Five Elements, combined with nature worship, totem worship, ghost worship and ancestor worship by means of magic and witchcraft, and has formed a colorful, strange and magnificent style in different regions and nationalities. As an important part of China's oral and intangible cultural heritage, that is, Han folk cultural heritage, it not only has great academic research value, but also provides rich and precious materials for cultural anthropology, folklore, drama genesis and other disciplines. It is still active in hundreds of programs such as Nuo opera, Nuo dance and Nuo custom in various ethnic groups and regions, most of which have strange and mysterious colors and uniqueness. Needless to say, some of these programs will have negative and backward factors, which should be distinguished and analyzed in the process of appreciation.
