Xinjiang Uygur, Animal Totem, Simulation Dance, SymbolismAbstract
Xinjiang Uyghur dance encompasses a rich variety of simulated dances based on animal totems. These dances vividly de-pict scenes from the daily life of the Uyghur people. These dances embody the core of the Uyghur national spirit and serve as an embodiment of their cultural identity. Furthermore, these animal totem simulations do not exist in isolation. A com-parison with the dance art forms of ancient Greece and India reveals that the Xinjiang Uyghur animal totem dance is, to some degree, a product of cross-cultural exchange. At the same time, this dance form itself possesses profound and unique cultural attributes.
