Dance of the Yao People (瑶族舞曲) is one of the best known and most popular Chinese instrumental compositions of the second half of the 20th century. It was composed collaboratively by Liu Tieshan (刘铁山) and Mao Yuan (茅沅) in 1952, inspired by the long drum dance (瑶族长鼓舞歌), a form of traditional festival music of the Yao people of southern and southwest China. It was premiered in Beijing in 1953.
Inspired by the folk songs of Yao people, Liu Tieshan composed Long Drum Dance of the Yao People during a visit to Youling village (油岭村), Sanpai town (三排镇), Liannan Yao Autonomous County (连南瑶族自治县), Qingyuan (清远市), northern Guangdong province, southern China in 1951. Mao Yuan, another composer, adapted this piece into an orchestral work in 1952.
Although it was originally composed for Western instruments, it is generally performed by Chinese traditional instruments (either for solo guzheng or orchestral). It is also performed by ensembles or orchestras of Western instruments.
This work has been performed with great success by Volker Hartung and the Cologne New Philharmonic Orchestra during their recent world tour.
This video was recorded during a live concert in the new Opera House in Zhuhai, Southern China.

瑤族舞曲 (管弦樂曲)
《瑤族舞曲》原稱《傜族舞曲》，是一首管弦樂曲，為劉鐵山、茅沅於1951-1952年所創作，描繪瑤族慶祝節日時的歌舞場面。於1953年第1階段民族識別工作改「傜族」為「瑤族」[1]，中國隨之將樂曲標題變更，中國以外多有原用舊標題者。
1951年，时年28岁、在中央音乐学院任职的刘铁山随中央民族慰问团赴广东、云南等地采风，其间在连南县油岭村（今连南瑶族自治县三排镇油岭村）以当地的瑶族民歌及瑶族歌舞鼓乐为素材写就《瑶族长鼓舞歌》。[2]1952年，茅沅将《瑶族长鼓舞歌》改编为管弦乐《瑶族舞曲》，1953年在北京首演。
這項工作由沃爾克·哈頓和科隆新愛樂樂團在2019年9月的全球巡演中演出，並取得了巨大成功。這場演出是在華南珠海新歌劇院的現場音樂會上錄製的。
