## 1. Introduction

Folk dance is a traditional Chinese art genre that is loved by people and shows richness and diversity in the form and content of dance. In the establishment of the dance, the environmental hazard dance content is created [1]. The deepest elements give Chinese folk dance distinctive dance characteristics, which can better promote the research and development of the influence and value of Chinese folk dance [2].Chinese folk dance is an integral part of China’s outstanding traditions. The regional scientific research of folk dance is conducive to carrying forward and inheriting the excellent Chinese tradition and promoting the rapid development of the tradition in the new era [3]. In the process of inheritance and development, Chinese folk dance has constituted distinct national characteristics and local culture, with the unique charm of atmosphere, popularity, challenge, and beauty [4]. Folk dance is one of the manifestations of the locals. It is influenced by a variety of environments and living customs, and is closely related to the special regional environment [5].At present, in the cultivation of national and folk dance talents, professional colleges and universities use the training system of classical ballet, classical dance, and modern dance blocks [6]. In terms of posture, sense of rhythm, technical skills and other aspects, the training obtained by students cannot be directly used for the teaching and performance of ethnic folk dance courses, and must be restored through the shaping of national folk dance styles. Taking the Beijing Dance Academy and the Inner Mongolia Academy of Arts as pioneers in exploring the “basic training of Chinese folk dance,” the teaching content of the “Basic Training of Ethnic Dance” of the Beijing Dance Academy belongs to the typical folk dance body shape and flexible rhythm [7]. The advantage of this innovative curriculum is that it can break through the traditional course content, create its own unique course content, and define the rhythm, method and technique of folk dance. [8] Inner Mongolia Academy of Arts serves as a training base for Mongolian dance writing and performance. [9] Based on the diligence of many generations, the Mongolian Language Skills Training Textbook was released, and the basic skills management system of Mongolian dance was established and optimized [10]. The exploration and practice of the discipline has played a positive role in enriching and optimizing the Teaching System of Chinese Folk Dance [11]. The basic skills of folk dance practice are a very inquiry-based dance basic training method, with a certain degree of innovative ability [12]. The existing experience and achievements of the Beijing Dance Academy and the Inner Mongolia Academy of Arts have brought basis and reference to the basic training of Cangyuan Wa folk dance [13].A revitalized, prosperous, and strong country [14]. National dance is the essence of the Chinese nation and embodies the development of literary and artistic styles and spiritual outlook of all nationalities. Ethnic dance is one of the main courses of higher teacher dance studies. [15] General dance science should dig deep into the true meaning of ethnic folk dance, give full play to the advantages of folk dance, and cultivate the inheritance and development of students’ professional dance skills [16]. Therefore, promoting the application and practice of ethnic folk dance in the higher teachers’ dance curriculum plays a crucial role [17]. The article will also carry out more in-depth discussion and analysis of the characteristics of Chinese folk dance. The scientific study of the regionality of ethnic dance plays a vital role in understanding and inheriting ethnic folk dance.

Because of the weather, the climate was dry and the rainfall was low, and they often traveled according to the waterway, but the Inner Mongolian grasslands were open to the horizon and more open to emotions. Therefore, the vast majority of Mongolians in Wuhan are bold and rude day and night, and feel absurd pride. In addition, the Mongolian steppe life is closely related to horses, and can often be seen in Mongolian dances [18].

Each place produces a different ecology, especially in folk dances. For example, the Mongolians in Wuhan are engaged in livestock herding, hunting, production and manufacturing day and night, and have lived in the vast grasslands for a long time. Sheep refers to the life of the Mongol Huns. In addition, “fall dance” and “wooden chopsticks” are very characteristic dances of the Mongolian people. This dance posture is casual, there is no certain dance regulations, but the dancer must mainly express the rhythm, rhythm and body language of the Mongolian people in Wuhan.

For example, Mongolia in the northern region of Wuhan is a vast area that is day and night, prompting folk dances to be more vivid, diverse, and enthusiastic. On the other hand, because the Yi people in Wuhan in the southern region are more likely to splash around Wuhan day and night, their folk dance is soft, delicate, and beautiful. From this point of view, the natural environment has a great influence on folk dance. Different characteristics will form different types of folk dances.

Wuhan people key to live in the vast central plains area, other brothers and ethnic groups are key distributed in the nearby areas. The vast majority of China belongs to the subtropical and temperate climate, and a very small number of areas belong to the tropical monsoon climate, so the vast majority of areas are suitable for the development trend of agriculture and other crops. The distinctive environment and natural conditions have made it possible to form a traditional style in China based on the agricultural economy and the Han people, and also produce a wide variety of folk dances of various ethnic groups.In general, the folk dances of various ethnic groups in China are key to the areas inhabited by various ethnic groups, but due to the identity of languages and customs, as well as the exchange and combination of various ethnic groups in the process of migration, it constitutes a dance between ethnic groups and regions. Dance form. This very distinctive characteristic and the current situation of individual and continuous communication and development of various ethnic groups are the distribution of Chinese national folk dances (Figure1).Figure 1

The key exists in the northeast region, Inner Mongolia, the great northwest, the southwest region, central China, and parts of the southeast. A long-term nomadic herder of mongolian, Uzbek, and other ethnic groups settled in the vast steppes of the north, their dances embody the life of nomads riding horses. The muscles of this dance are stiff but rhythmic. The folk dances of the Zhuang, Wa, Hani, and other ethnic groups in the agricultural and pastoral areas of the southern region mainly show the working life of picking tea and washing rice, with soft postures and a sense of rhythm. The folk dances of various nationalities living in the border areas of the motherland have socialist democracy, and there are many similarities or similarities with the dances of different nationalities in close proximity abroad. In addition, in special areas, the ancient Chinese cultural assets of folk dance are more abundant. For example, the folk dances of the Uighurs and other ethnic groups on the Silk Roads applied the technicality of the head and waist, exposing the dance property of the ancient Western Regions.

On the one hand, in the folk dance repertoire, it is necessary to select representative folk dances to allow students to increase their insight and guide students to grasp dance skills. On the other hand, in the practice of national folk dance, it is necessary to have both the characteristics and methods of national folk dance, combined with other dance elements, to create a distinctive dance and enhance the viewing value of national folk dance.

## 3. Development Concept of Chinese Folk Dance Curriculum

This scientific research is committed to the flexible use of the theoretical knowledge and methods of ethnic dance, sociology, ethnology, art aesthetics, and other disciplines to grasp the cognition and behavior of children in Chinese folk dance at this stage, and to explore and analyze the multiple elements that affect their formation. The author’s research process begins with extraordinary reflections. From shallow to deep, integrating social experience and theoretical analysis, I give a variety of assumptions that harm children’s cognitive ability, performance and evaluation of Chinese folk dance. Subsequently, if this is transformed into a series of measurable problems. Using sociological and psychological research methods, the questionnaire is carried out according to the design principle of the questionnaire method, and reasonable special tools can be selected to complete distribution, recycling, analysis, and collation. Ultimately, investigation and scientific research can coexist. According to a reasonable level, the research subjects were selected and the survey samples were obtained from the designated addresses. Therefore, this chapter focuses on the three key steps that the authors customize in the subject research: research hypothesis, research methods, and research objects.


### 3.1. Research Subjects

In the end, the author chose Huaihua No. 1 Middle School as the research address. Huaihua No. 1 Middle School was established in 1943. In 1979, it was identified as the first key middle school in Huaihua City, and in 2002, it was selected as a key middle school in Hunan Province. In 2007, the high school and middle school were separated, and it became an independent high school. At present, it covers a total area of 42,300 square meters with a total construction area of 24,400 square meters on campus and a total area of 63,300 square meters for a large school farm. At this stage, there are 39 classroom teaching groups, 1922 students, 197 active teaching staff, 181 full-time teachers, 169 teaching teachers (accounting for 85.78% of the teaching staff), including 13 graduate students (accounting for 7.69% of the teaching staff), 1 specialist teacher, 1 senior teacher, 66 senior teachers, and 96 first-level teachers.

### 3.2. Frequency Domain Analysis of the Survey Results

The above research design introduces the “Survey on the Recognition of Chinese Folk Dance by Primary and Secondary School Students”. 30 puzzles, recycling effective questionnaire 518 copies. Brief analysis, narrative, and data analysis of four-dimensional databases are the focus of this chapter. Xiaobian mainly expounded the frequency domain of each recognized dimension database from a macro perspective, selected a representative topic to discuss, and proposed a survey report in the form of data charts. According to the results of the four basic dimensions, the overall observation of the cognition of Chinese folk dance by college students, the shortcomings of the frequency domain are found, and the clues for detailed analysis and reflection are reported.


#### 3.2.1. Emotional Preferences

Selected by college students in the research on the emotional level of Chinese ethnic folk dance. “What kind of folk dance do you like?” What are the key reasons? At the level of content and style, I came to investigate children’s interest in learning Chinese folk dance. The results of these two multiple choice questions can be clearly seen from the pie chart below (Figure3).Figure 3
Pie chart of the type of folk dance works that college students like.According to the statistical analysis of time-domain data in the survey report above, the overall conclusion of emotion in terms of identifying with the four dimensions of Chinese folk dance exceeded expectations. Specifically, it is manifested in the high preference for Chinese folk dance, the overall impression preference, different ways, specific content, and design style of the need for diversification of dance works.


#### 3.2.2. Cognitive Definitions

In the questionnaire survey, there is a problem in the cognitive dimension of Chinese folk dance among college students. Can you clearly distinguish between Chinese folk dance and other dance styles? In other words, investigate whether college students can clearly identify dance styles. In order to distinguish whether the difference between Chinese folk dance and other dances can be accurately distinguished, the creator first hoarded his own cognitive discrimination. The details are as follows (Table2).Table 2

In addition, it is possible to look for clues to the case of the behavioral dimension. Finding the final two problems, college students’ awareness of professional classics is not too high, and the contact area is narrow.


#### 3.2.3. Evaluation Status

## 4. Summary of Survey Results and Countermeasure Studies

### 4.1. Summary of Survey Results

Based on the time domain, classification, and difference analysis of the survey report, we basically understand the current status and factors of the students’ identity at this stage. After considering and understanding the correlation between dimensions, the survey report can be summarized below(1)
Under the recognition of the four dimensions of Chinese folk dance, college students showed their preference for the emotional dimension, insufficient thinking ability, weak relativeness of personal behavior, and different evaluation standards.(2)
All in all, college students’ preferences for folk dance focus on the diversity of methods, specific contents, and design styles, and the acceptance of various types of folk dances is relatively high, and it is expected that there will be more interesting and better quality folk dances. The work takes place.(3)
College students want to spread folk dances to foreign friends more than they meet foreign friends. As Felix “livin” it home it gross often says, the bridge between the “land (in a sense, morphological consciousness)” forms this precondition, the necessary dual identity. Second, this identity is identity, which is equivalent to the identity of the state. This identity is very clearly reflected in citizenship. Thus, Chinese citizenship rules and regulations constitute two or more legal and philosophical ways of defining identity. Such identities are mutually exclusive and mutually reinforcing, not conflicting.”(4)
According to the investigation of college students’ cognition and appreciation of Chinese folk dance works, it was found that there were significant differences in the works displayed on different service platforms. The national folk dance works performed on CCTV’s “Spring Festival Gala” and other platforms are very easy to enter the eyes of the masses and audiences, and it is very easy to develop and win the hearts of the people. Although other professional dance competitions and website platforms are very low-profile, there are already many outstanding classics. Therefore, the audience of these channel columns is usually more professional and has a better understanding and recognition of folk dance.


### 4.2. Countermeasure Research

#### 4.2.1. Cultural Output to Enhance Self-Confidence

Global, imported and exported, singleness and pluralism, contention, and resonance. From the 1990s, the impact of economic globalization on human society has been expanding in all aspects. We do not know the combination of this association. We have to spread the innovation. Output rates are not only a major indicator of international status and ability to innovate, but also a way.With a strong support platform and good feedback on the actual effect, deriving the traditional sense of belonging and confidence in Wuhan is really the most appropriate countermeasures and suggestions to integrate into the inherent requirements of the current situation and strategic development plan. It is hoped that their folk dances can rely on this fashion trend to show their brilliance to the world in more diverse ways. It is hoped that college students will have more opportunities to participate in the opening up and popularization of national dance.


#### 4.2.2. Strengthen the Gripper and Create Symbols

Cultural symbols are the unique extraction and abstract reflection of a region, a nation, and a country, carrying extremely rich and long-term connotations. Just like time to go to China first, see the United States Hollywood think of the United States, see the cherry blossoms think of Japan. Symbols are conducive to understanding different connotations, and we can easily identify the characteristics of different places according to symbols. If China’s 56-piece national dance has unique symbols, can everyone understand it more clearly? For ethnic and folk dances, the better representative is the symbolic posture of various ethnic regions. In the development and popularization of Chinese folk dance, this representative movement can be established and implemented at all levels.


#### 4.2.3. Policy Guidance, Education First

All cultural education should be gradually from children, and the enlightenment education of folk dance is not as good as the content of other scientific and educational courses. Mainly because the education that plays an important role in the Chinese folk dance, the curriculum seems to be blank. Fortunately, the state has paid more and more attention to comprehensive quality education, and various literary and artistic classes have sprung up on campus. Folk dance can take this opportunity to enter the primary and secondary school curriculum. Some have already taken the lead. For example, some HLTs in Yushu, Qinghai, use Tibetan dances instead of radio exercises. Even if it is a primary school in Guangdong Province, the class is also inspired by Yao Zongzong. Hubei Enshi No. 5 Middle School Hubei Laifeng a number of primary and secondary schools to carry out traditional opera into the campus theme activities. This different teaching method constantly improves the curriculum system of Chinese folk dance.

## 5. Conclusion

In general, folk dance is developed in a different regional natural environment, and regionality is the most basic feature of folk dance. As one of the main characteristics of folk dance, regionality not only shows different types of national characteristics, but also shows a strong national charm and living customs, which is a very important material and spiritual capital for the people. The rapid development of a nation is inseparable from the far-reaching influence of the local environment. A variety of folk dances have been derived from national characteristics. The ethnic dances of various nationalities constitute their own unique dance styles, forming a brilliant and rich and diverse Chinese tradition.
