What nationality is the bun dance?

Wa nationality.

Hair-throwing dance is the remaining form of primitive dance of Gaoshan nationality. The record talks about the form of performance, but does not mention the origin. We look for clues from relevant customs at home and abroad. Until the early 1950s, the Wa people in Ximeng area still performed song and dance sacrifices in front of the "wooden drum room" where the bones were stored.

Hair dance is a dance for Wa women to entertain themselves. Different from other dances, this dance is not used for offering sacrifices to cows, the death of old people, building new houses and wedding celebrations. In other seasons, you can dance this dance on any occasion. Hair-throwing dance is a woman's dance with a strong marine color. In the past, Yamei people had the custom of not dancing during the day, and this kind of dance was mostly performed on a moonlit night.

Dance origin:

The customs of the Wa people living in Yunnan are similar to those of the Gaoshan people. The Wa people in Ximeng used to have the custom of headhunting. Until the early 1950s, they still held song and dance sacrificial activities in front of the "wooden drum room" where the bones were stored. After the completion of the new house, the whole village went to sing and dance to congratulate them. At the funeral, they danced around the dead, and several women danced in front of the raft to please the dead.

Up to now, there are still "hair dances" circulating in some areas, which shows that Yamei is closely related to the mainland, and so are many customs of Gaoshan and Wa nationalities, all of which originated from the marine culture of Guyue people. It can be inferred that the origin of elegant hairdressing dance is related to primitive production and witchcraft concept, and has a direct or indirect relationship with China culture.
