On the New Development of Chinese Folk Dance

Abstract

Chinese folk dance originated from people’s working life and is a deduction of local people’s life, customs and spirit. It is created and performed independently by the people and gradually developed into a traditional culture with local characteristics. From the perspective of multi-culture, the traditional folk dance has been impacted to a certain extent, especially in the youth stage. In order to change this situation and promote the new development of folk dance, certain measures must be taken to inherit and carry forward the folk dance based on the actual situation. This paper discusses the origin and development of Chinese folk dance, briefly outlines the inheritance and development strategies of Chinese folk dance, and promotes the new development of Chinese folk dance based on protection.
