The Nanfeng Country, lying east of the Jiangxi Province and famous for its produce of tangerine, carries a nuo tradition that dated way back in history. Ritual performance of nuo is one significant festivity during the Spring Festival. However, with the modernization and urbanization in Chinese rural society, the internal structure and social recognition of the Nanfeng nuo ritual performance undergo voluntary and/or involuntary sifting, rearranging, re-formulation or riddance. While its social significance wears thinner, its recreational aspect is constantly being enhanced. On the other hand, such exception as found Shiyou Village also exists. Villagers here still follow the temporal and spatial boundaries as well as organizational patterns of the nuo ritual performance with persistence. Through annual demonstration, the rural traditional order is reaffirmed. In this article, I investigate the features embodied in Shiyou nuo ritual performance; discuss its dissemination mechanism and point out that under a common nuo deity, the overlapped identification of subordination relationship and counterbalanced life order are reasons that allow Shiyou nuo ritual to preserve its archaism and originality while imposing strict regulations on its performances and dissemination.
