Discussion on the Development Path of the“Bouyi Bayin”performance

Abstract

The "Bouyi Bayin" of Bouyi ethnic group in Guizhou province, also known as "Bayin seated singing", has already been a symbol of the Bouyi culture. During recent thirty years, the "Buyi Bayin" has gradually moved to the stage, and the "Buyi Bayin" performances on the stage have also seen a continuous change in such aspects as contents, languages, instruments, costumes and stage actions in the process of interaction with the audience. Did the performance form of Bouyi Bayin belong to Bouyi culture? Can it be recognized? How can we develop the classical Bouyi Bayin? We try to find a feasible way for this kind of stage performance, and we hope more experts will pay attention to it.
