Abstract
This paper narrates: 1. the profound fission of Qiang’s ethnic dance after the earthquake; 2. the influence and development of traditional folk music and dance in intangible cultural heritage after the earthquake; 3. the construction and identification of multiple cultures which coexist harmoniously and intermingle in Qiang area. Through an analysis of these three strategies, how cultural subjects inherit the cultural construction and self-identity of Qiang dance consciously, dynamically and selectively under the guidance of natural disasters and outside world is explored.
