彝族歌舞

彝族是一个有着悠久历史的民族，远在公元前2世纪彝族先民就开始繁衍生息于中国西南。

在长期的生产实践中，彝族人民创造了许多丰富多彩的文体活动，其中美妙的歌舞艺术是彝族传统文化的代表之一。

在贵州省贵阳市清镇红枫湖一带的大冲村兴隆彝家寨，彝族青年男女经常采用情歌对唱的方式来寻觅自己的心上人。

在风光秀丽的红枫湖畔，我们看到彝族男女青年们以歌抒情传意，对歌的场景也极为有趣。

有时几对恋人会在歌声中同时结为情侣，但也有的小伙子可能会一无所获。

甚至还有两个男青年争抢一个姑娘的有趣场面。

彝族青年对歌也因地域的不同而形形色色。

但对歌的内容是相同的，都是男女约会倾吐爱情的一种社交活动。

如有的对歌是在男方寨子进行。

他们对不赢女方时，会把长辈歌手请来帮忙，女方就得靠自己的硬功夫了。

无论哪方对输，都要按历史习惯买礼物赠与对方。

对歌日期一到，成群结队的小伙子们穿上雪白的衬衣，挎上自己心爱的龙头月琴，边弹边唱着优美动听的山歌，去迎接即将到来的姑娘们。

如果在路上发现蝴蝶在周围飞舞，小鸟在树上欢唱，他们认为那就象征着姑娘们早已经到了约会点。

这时，小伙儿们的情绪非常高涨，你追我赶地跑向对歌场。

对唱时先由哪方开始都可以。

由一人领唱，大家合唱。

唱的内容有《猜谜》、《赞美》、《自悲》、《情歌》、《白话》等五种。

无论哪一种，歌谱都几乎相似，只是歌词内容不同。

通过对歌，双方尽吐肺腑之言。

在歌场上结成的姻缘是相当牢靠的，十之八九能成。

所以彝族青年把这称为“比蜂蜜还甜”的爱情。

彝族人民能歌善舞，逢年过节，舞蹈表演是一个重要的内容。

彝族舞蹈形式多种多样，有喜迎宾客的《洗尘舞》；有欢庆丰收的《铃铛舞》；也有庆贺民族传统节日的《七月欢歌》，还有表现彝族青年追求爱情的《三月会》等等，真是五彩缤纷，热闹非凡。

在贵州花溪，彝家姑娘每当有贵客来临时，都要跳起热烈欢快的“洗尘舞”。

打是亲，骂是爱，彝族姑娘以这种独特的迎客方式欢迎远方来的客人，为客人扫去路途的尘埃和疲惫，祝福客人事事顺利，平平安安。

“洗尘舞”以彝族姑娘们独到的舞蹈语汇表现了她们对到彝家来往宾客们的一种发自内心的美好祝福。

彝家人迎客除了优美的舞蹈，还有动人的歌声。

他们有着传统的娱乐方式和审美意识。

彝族民间曲调非常丰富，有叙事曲与抒情曲。

如迎亲调、迎客调、饮酒调等等，生活的积累使他们获取了丰富的创作营养，著名的歌曲《远方的客人，请你留下来》就是根据彝族民间曲调创作而成的。

“铃铛舞”是彝族人民喜庆丰收的一种民间舞蹈。

每当丰收的日子，彝族男女青年就会在村寨中手持串铃，在木鼓的伴奏下翩翩起舞。

他们就着鼓点和着脚板蹋地的响声而跳。

这种舞蹈没有旋转大跳的高难度动作，但是要求换脚灵活，晃铃与舞姿要步调一致，且耍手均匀，特别是姑娘们带的手饰、耳坠、项链，以及头帕上装饰的银器、珠子，在阳光的反射下，闪闪发光，耀眼夺目，使围观者会得到有一种淳厚、独特之美的享受。

铃铛舞每逢高潮时，表演者还要一齐发出“嘿、嘿”的呼叫声，以此来表达他们喜庆丰收的欢乐之情。

彝族除了喜庆的丰收时节，而最为隆重的传统节日，应当属“火把节”。

火把节这天，彝家人以松木为燎，高达丈余，称为“火把”。

当夜幕低垂之时，彝家山寨一片热气腾腾。

各寨的火把相映争辉，照得夜空一片火红；一支支火炬散布在田野山乡，给彝乡增添了兴旺热烈的色彩。

人们还高擎火把巡逡在田野之间，到处充满了欢声笑语，有人说火把节是人们用火把照田，以求除去危害农作物的虫灾获得丰收。

这大概是火把节最早兴起的原因吧。

但是，还是那些彝族火把节的民间传说故事，生动感人，促人奋发。

对于火把节的起缘，有着一个动人的传说。

相传远古的时候，天上的恶神欺压地上的百姓，降下洪水、旱灾，给人间造成深重灾难。

有一位彝族的祖先支呷洛战胜了这些灾难，使天上的恶神怒不可遏，它带着许多害虫来糟蹋庄稼，并与支呷洛交战。

激战当中，支呷洛巧妙地变成蜜蜂钻入葫芦里，再从另一边的葫芦壁上咬穿一个小洞钻出飞走了。

恶神变成一只马蜂追赶，钻进了葫芦，但却怎么也逃不出来，
老百姓燃起火把，烧死了葫芦中的恶神和所有的害虫。

为了纪念支呷洛的胜利和功绩，于是每年人们就点燃火把，久而久之就成了火把节。

火把节之夜热烈欢腾，堆堆篝火，簇簇火把，映红夜空；人们歌舞管弦，通宵达旦，这时也正是男女青年们结识朋友和寻觅伴侣的好场合。

《七月欢歌》的舞蹈就是在火把节上彝族青年们常跳的一个舞蹈。

“七月欢歌”表现了彝家青年欢庆节日的热烈情绪，它通过欢快的舞姿淋漓尽致地反映了彝家人欢度火把节的欢天喜地的高涨热情，以及对美好幸福生活的憧憬。

熊熊的火把燃烧起来，映红了彝家山寨的半边天，彝家人的生活越来越美好，团结友爱共同奔向幸福的明天。

彝族青年有一个表示自己有美好心上人的独特标志，那就是花腰带。

在彝族火把节上，有些彝家的小伙子要把洁白的衬衣塞进蓝靛染成的青布裤子里，勒上一条花腰带，就表示自己有了合心意的情人。

花腰带是彝家青年爱情的信物，没有情人的小伙子是勒不上的。

在有些地方的彝家村寨的青年，用花腰带传情，别有一番风趣。

当姑娘在劳动中或通过媒人的撮合，和小伙子相爱以后，就要背着长辈，利用闲暇之时，用各种有色的丝线，精心绣制有花朵、蝴蝶、小鸟等图案的花腰带。

腰带绣成之后，利用约会的时间，把腰带送给小伙子。

小伙子得到腰带，心里踏实了，也把揣在怀里的手镯或耳环给姑娘带上，以表示真诚相爱。

彝族舞蹈《三月会》表现的就是彝族青年男女相互表达爱慕之情的真实写照。

“三月会”爱情真奇妙，居然在推推拉拉中表达，推一下都是情，撞一下也含着笑，连姑娘小伙子中的小小烟盒，也弹出了心中的爱慕之情。

在贵州红枫湖挖力彝族村，每当彝族青年跳起欢快的舞蹈《三月会》总会引来众多的观赏者，人们为美妙的舞姿所陶醉，为彝族青年纯真的爱情所羡慕，更为他们能结为美好姻缘而衷心祝福。

彝族青年们在歌舞中相互表达和追求纯真的爱情，而一旦美好事成，就会举行传统的婚姻大事。

彝族婚姻的习俗很有特点，在双方确定终身大事后，男方先要送些礼物，谓之“烧大香”；同时择定吉日，准备办理婚事。

女方出嫁时，姑娘要由其兄背出家门，扶上马，兄弟姐妹陪同，父亲、叔伯和亲友护送，一道去新郎家里。

陪同新娘的女伴，其装束打扮同新娘一模一样，有意让人难辨谁是新娘。

新婚之夜，送亲女伴和胞妹陪伴新娘，寸步不离，新郎不能随便出入洞房，更不允许新郎新娘同宿。

次日，新娘随送亲人等辞别新郎返回娘家。

待到翌年农忙时节，男方请人交涉后，新娘仍由胞兄、弟、妹等人送至夫家。

7日后，新娘熟悉夫家情况之后，送亲兄妹才离去。

至此，新婚夫妇才同房共寝，谓之“坐家”。

如今，彝族婚俗已有很大改革，结婚礼节也日渐简化，讲究时新。

彝族的民间歌舞归纳起来可分为以下几种：
《打歌》：包括“打跳”、“跳脚”、“左脚舞”、“跳歌”、“跌腿”、“跳月”(即“跳乐”)等圆圈舞，流行于云南省西部与四川省凉山交界地区、云南省西南部的彝族和相邻的其他少数民族之中。

自娱性舞蹈《打歌》与汉族古代的《踏歌》极为近似。

现存于云南省巍山县巍宝山文昌阁，绘制于清代乾隆时的《踏歌图》便记录了当地的舞态。

每当节日和喜庆之时，人们挽手围圈，载歌载舞或随乐而舞，舞蹈始终以下肢动作为主。

《跳弦》：因舞者双手持“烟盒”边敲边舞，故也被称为《烟盒舞》。

《烟盒舞》流行于云南省中部和南部红河、石屏、建水等地彝族支系尼苏人居住地区。

舞蹈分为“正弦”和“杂弦”两类。

“正弦”融双人自娱性舞蹈与表演性舞蹈为一体，主要传统段子有《哑巴砍柴》、《鸽子度食》等，舞姿优美轻盈、活泼风趣。

而“杂弦”则是在“正弦”的基础上进一步发展而来的，是一种表现人物、具有故事情节的歌舞小品。

其中《哑巴摸鱼》、《童子拜观音》等具代表性的节目达百余种。

当地所流传的“是人不跳弦，白活几十年”的口头禅，可说明《跳弦》在人们生活和心目中所占据的重要地位。

《罗作》：也称《罗索》，是流行于云南省红河南岸彝族支系尼苏人中的另一种圆圈舞。

曲调欢愉跳跃，节奏鲜明而强烈，伴之以快速摆手、错步、踏脚等舞蹈动作，特别受到青年们的
喜爱。

《跳三弦》：也称《大三弦》、《跳月》，是云南省中部地区彝族支系阿细人、撒尼人喜爱的自娱性舞蹈。

在大、中、小三弦和高、中、低不同音色的竹笛伴奏下的《跳三弦》，是“火把节”不可缺少的舞蹈。

《披毡舞》：是四川省凉山地区彝族所特有的舞蹈形式。

舞者以披毡为道具，通过双臂的伸展、收拢、摆动与身体旋转，来模仿鹰、熊的姿态。

该舞现已成为彝族的代表性表演舞蹈。

以上五种类型的彝族民间舞蹈，如剔除近半个世纪以来人们对传统民间舞蹈所作的修饰，还原到它的本来面目，我们就能清晰地看到彝族远古时代模拟动物的情态，看到反映人们劳动生活的原始而古拙的舞姿。

前四类舞蹈源于彝族古代生活，第五类模仿鹰、熊的舞蹈，可能与彝族古代的多神和图腾祟拜有密切关系。

这类动物模拟舞蹈，动作优美、高雅，在长期的历史进程中，逐步从祭祀仪式中分离出来，并不断添加着各个时代的审美意识，使之成为今天专供人们欣赏的表演舞蹈。

在彝族人民欢庆年节期间，我们还可以看到来源于中原文化的舞蹈形式《竹马》、《高跷》。

现代彝族的《高跷》保留和发展了它的杂技特色，在高度上远远超过了汉族《高跷》，但却未能接受汉族《高跷》的舞蹈技艺。

在彝族人举行祭祀祖先、祈求丰收的仪式时，我们还可以看到《木鼓舞》、《铜鼓舞》、《羊皮鼓舞》等。

这些舞蹈均由巫师“毕摩”和“苏叶”表演，在击鼓的同时，他们以迅速摆动双肩、胸、胯为主要舞蹈语汇。

此外，在“跳宫节”表演的《跳宫》、《跳麒甲》等舞蹈中，仍保留着古代狩猎、部落间战争的痕迹，以及战士出征、作战、胜利凯旋的祭祀仪式和舞蹈场面，以此来表示对古代英雄的怀念和歌颂。

这种人们手持器械的舞蹈，与羌族的《铠甲舞》在表现形式上大致相同。

彝族舞蹈《阿细跳月》
阿细人是彝族的一个支系。

传说很早以前，彝族人民过着刀耕火种的生活，每当春耕时节，他们白天给土司头人干活，夜间才能借着月光赶种自己的“火地”。

在火灰尚未熄灭的地里，人们光着脚板劳动，脚被烫疼了就抬起来跳两下，还“啧啧”地喊两声，这就形成了舞蹈的基本步伐。

由于这种舞蹈是在月下跳的，后来又演变为青年男女娱乐和恋爱时跳的舞蹈，所以就叫“阿细跳月”。

这种舞蹈最突出的特点就是男青年挎着一个大三弦边弹边跳。

大三弦全长约135厘米，琴筒宽度约27厘米，长约33厘米，弦码处置有铁皮扣片，弹拨时“嚓、嚓”作响。

男青年斜挎如此大而重的三弦，边弹边舞，显示出男性的矫健与豪放。

伴奏曲多是五拍为一乐句，前三拍为主弦律，后两拍用力拨弦。

舞者的步伐与此相吻合，前三拍进退、转身、跳跃，后两拍原地拍掌对脚。

表演时，大家随着领舞者忽而形成两大横排，进退欢舞，如潮涨潮落，忽而又变为“二龙吐须”，双双对舞后，依次散开，如渠水分流而去。

舞蹈的基本动律是左右晃身、摆胯。

整个舞蹈热情奔放，大幅度的跳动和变化鲜明的图形，构成炽热的气氛，具有浓烈的野趣美。

This type of animal simulated dance, graceful, elegant, long historical process, gradually separated from the ritual, and continues to add to the aesthetic consciousness of the times, make it a dance designed for people to enjoy today.

1．松下踏歌图
现存于文昌宫龙潭殿文龙亭亭壁上的《松下踏歌图》，也称《彝族踏歌图》，绘制于公元1759年(清乾隆二十四年)，是至今云南乃至国内发现最早的彝族踏歌壁画。

壁画描绘了18世纪中期巍山彝族风情习俗景象，内容为节日期间彝族男女老少相聚在一起踏歌的情景。

画面远处山峦起伏，在近处的一株苍树下，30多个彝族男女在草坪上围成圆圈正欢歌起舞。

圆圈内有3人，2人吹芦笙，1人吹笛，边吹边舞，大步跳跃，圈外的3人，1人弹琵琶，1人吹笙，1人扬扇在伴舞助兴。

环圈而舞的30多人男女老少随着笛子、芦笙的节拍跳唱，有的扬手，有的转身，有的牵手，各具神态。

男子头戴斗笠，身穿无领对襟衣，外罩长衫，脚穿云头鞋。

中年妇女头盘黑布包头，上身穿无领领褂，腰系麻布围腰，下身穿宽裤脚裤子。

《松下踏歌图》中出现的服饰与今天巍山彝族服饰基本相同，对于我们研究滇西彝族的节日、歌舞、月艮饰、习俗等均具有较高价值。
