Abstract

Regong of Qinghai Province is a multi-ethnic area, which is located in the three counties of Jianzha, Tongren and Zeku, and is the Tibetan autonomous prefecture of Henan Mongolian Autonomous County. The local aboriginal religious beliefs mainly include Gelugpa (Yellow Sect of Tibetan Lamaism), Nyingma and Bon. It has the characteristics of multi-ethnic integration of Tibetan nationality, Han nationality, Tu nationality, Mongolian nationality and so on. The temple has many close relationships with the customs of various ethnic groups and the colorful Tibetan folk dances. Through the field interview of monks and more than a dozen folk artists, such as Qungong Renboqie of "Nyingma", Kasu Renboqie of "Gelugpa", and Gele Lengzhiiiacuo Renboqie of "Bon", this paper introduces the historical development of the temple and the dance style of the Vcham Dance of Vajrayana. From the oral account and performances of monks and local folk artworks of "Nyingma", the author basically grasped the style of "Nyingma" dances such as "Nine-headed Vajras". There are many sects in Tibetan Buddhism, among which the god dance, dragon dance, witch dance, Zhuo, and Yumian dance (the dance used by Tibetans to exorcise ghosts) are different from the dance forms and movements of the "Gelupa" and other sects of Tibetan Buddhism. Shilunjingangyuan of the Tibetan Buddhist Temple generally selects the students who are good at charity and learning to be together to practice the static and dynamic movements in the "Nyingma" monasteries. And the unity and promotion of the romantic charm, temperament, rhyme and virtue in the movement will be conducive to enhancing self-awareness and value.
