THE TIBETAN NATIONALITY CEREMONY
In Yunnan, the Tibetans are scattered across the Diqing (Deqen) Plateau in the northwestern part of Yunnan. Tibetans are both bold and kind. They believe in Lamaism. Whenever there is a festival, there are always jubilant performances which center around singing and dancing, and sports.
On New Year's Eve, ceremonial dances are performed in all the great lamaseries in the Diqing Zang nationality (Tibetan ) Autonomous Region. Wearing fantastic costumes and weird masks, the lamas perform soul-stirring dances as part of exorcism ceremonies. In fact, this ceremonial dance is a drama with a simple, religious plot, performed to the accompaniment of drums, cymbals, "suona" (horn ), the dungchen and conch. Containing several scenes, a single dance drama can last for many hours.
