Mosuo Jiacuo Dance from the Perspective of Female Gender Construction

He Jiayue, Kerdsiri Noknoi

Abstract


The purpose of this paper is to discuss the research and development of Mosuo Jiacuo dance in Chinese dance from the perspective of female gender construction. As an ethnic group with a unique culture, the Mosuo people's dance art embodies profound gender connotations and cultural qualities. Through an in-depth study of the historical origin, evolution, religious beliefs, cultural practices and dance forms of the Mosuo people, the important role played by China's unique matrilineal society in constructing women's social gender roles and related arts is analyzed. Through a comprehensive analysis of the intertwined relationship between the historical evolution, cultural connotation and gender construction of the family wrong dance, this paper reveals the complexity and richness of the family wrong dance in shaping and presenting the gender roles of female society. In China, the literature on gender construction and cultural identity of women's society as a research concept is still relatively small and belongs to a relatively new research field. Therefore, this paper analyzes the form, value and significance of Jiacuo dance from the perspective of gender construction. It provides a scientific and feasible model for the inheritance and creation of Jiacuo dance in contemporary society.
