noun, noun or participle which takes 'suru'
dancing and clapping with joy
Archaic literary expression for joyful celebration through dance and hand-clapping. Rarely used in modern Japanese outside historical or poetic contexts.
古い文献には、民が抃舞して喜んだと記されている。
Old documents record that the people danced and clapped their hands in joy.
The exact derivation is uncertain; the spelling 抃舞 is a literary compound using rare kanji, likely of Chinese origin.
