最近,我有机会去云南大理白族自治州参加了西南区民族文化工作会議。在会議期間,听了不少报告,和四川、云南、貴州、广西四省、区二十一个民族的四百多位代表共同生活了一个时候,还观摩了不少精采的演出。这里面除了这二十来个民族的歌舞节目以外,接触到的少数民族戏曲計有侗戏、傣戏、土戏、彝剧、藏戏、白族的吹吹腔和大本曲等七种。沿途,还看到了滇剧、弥渡花灯,桂剧和彩調等汉族地方剧种的演出;广西僮族自治区,云南省和大理白族自治州等三个京剧团的演出也給我們許多啓發。这些丰富多采的歌舞和戏剧演出,使我們大开眼界,改变了过去对少数民族艺术看法上的某些陈旧观念,并对大跃进以来民族艺术的新發展有了新的認識。各少数民族地区在1958年經历了生产大跃进、人民公社运动,各族人民不仅在經济基础上、生产方式 Recently, I had the opportunity to go to Dali Bai Autonomous Prefecture of Yunnan Province to attend the conference on ethnic culture in the southwest region.
