【亚洲·韩国】羌羌水月来舞 Ganggangsullae（2009年）

Ganggansullae是一种在韩国西南部流行的季节性收获和生育仪式，主要在韩国农历八月的感恩节进行。在明亮的满月下，数十名年轻未婚的农村妇女围成一个圈，在主唱的指导下手拉手，通宵载歌载舞。在幕间休息时，这些女性会顽皮地模仿反映农场或渔村生活的小插曲，包括踩屋顶瓷砖、展开垫子、抓老鼠或系鲱鱼。这个舞蹈的名字来自于每一节之后重复的副歌，尽管这个词的确切含义尚不清楚。农村年轻女性除了在Chuseok感恩节庆祝活动期间，不允许大声唱歌或晚上外出，这曾经是一个罕见的打破限制性规定的仪式，如今，城市中的中年女性大多保留了这一仪式，并将其作为小学音乐课程的一部分进行教学。作为韩国民间艺术的代表，它现在可以被视为韩国民间艺术。这是一种重要的世袭习俗，源于遍布农村日常生活的稻米文化。简单的曲调和动作可以很快学会，这有助于女性舞蹈演员之间的和谐、平等和友谊。

Ganggangsullae is a seasonal harvest and fertility ritual popular in the south-western part of the Republic of Korea, performed primarily on Korea’s Thanksgiving in the eighth lunar month. Under a bright full moon, dozens of young, unmarried village women gather in a circle, join hands and sing and dance all night under the direction of a lead singer. During interludes, the women playfully mime vignettes reflecting life in a farm or fishing village, including treading on roof tiles, unrolling a mat, catching a mouse or tying herrings. The dance takes its name from the refrain repeated after each verse, although the exact meaning of the word is unknown. Once a rare break from restrictive rules governing the behaviour of rural young women who were not allowed to sing aloud or go out at night, except during the Chuseok Thanksgiving celebration, the ritual is mostly preserved today by middle-aged women in cities and taught as part of the music curriculum of elementary schools. Now practised as a performing art throughout Korea, it can be seen as a representative Korean folk art. It is an important hereditary custom drawn from the rice culture that pervaded daily life in the countryside. The easy tunes and movements can be learned quickly for this communal practice that contributes to harmony, equality and friendship among the women dancers.
