Exploration and Reflection on the Research Method of Oral History of Tibetan Dance

Currently, the research on Chinese ethnic and folk dance has achieved fruitful results, but some fields still need to be further explored. The research method of oral history is feasible and irreplaceable in practice, which makes up for textual research. The study on the oral history of Tibetan dance is feasible and urgent, which is of great value to the understanding of minority dance culture and the protection of intangible cultural heritage. Specific research and practices are faced with such obstacles as language barrier, inaccurate translation, poor support from literature, and human interference, resulting in low efficiency or stagnation of interviews. Therefore, several issues in the study on the oral history of Tibetan dance should be carefully controlled, and scientific and efficient ways and methods should be proposed to solve the problems of "whom to talk to", "what to talk about" and "how to talk", so as to guarantee smooth study and unveil the mystery of Tibetan dance.
