The Artistic Value of “Centipede Dance” in Leizhou Wushi from the Perspective of Non-Generic Heritage

Abstract

The rapid development of today’s time has made many art categories to be better disseminated, such as the excavation and protection of some physical apparatus culture figurative cultural relics symbols, but little protection of cultural “dynamic heritage” non-heritage vernacular culture. This paper takes the “Centipede Dance” of Wushi Port in Leizhou City, Guangdong Province as the main object of analysis. Through the analysis of Wushi’s “Centipede Dance” in the past and the present, we can better understand its historical inheritance and innovation of the times. We will shape a symbolic language that does not lose its “original flavor” but can also give rise to modern people, so that the non-heritage dance does not only exist in people’s imagination, but moves from “im-agination” to “reality”.
