Qing Xu's performance steps of running bamboo horse are mainly broken trot and broken trot. The movements of the performance include the horse holding its head high, whistling in the sky like a horse, the horse falling its tail like an enemy fighting back, and the horse lying on its back biting silkworms. The main form of running bamboo and horse is walking. There are more than ten traditional running forms, such as "double entry", "water walking", "crossing the figure of eight", "scissors" and "running around the field". The costumes of bamboo and horse runners are usually dressed in classical Tang costumes, and there are also performances of small costumes. The quality of clothing is based on economic conditions, so there is no need to force it.

Running a bamboo horse, a form of fire among Han people, is still required by traditional performance methods. Performers not only perform horse racing, but also perform horse racing while playing, singing local tunes, Taigu Yangko, opera singing and other tunes, which are deeply loved by the audience. Running the bamboo horse is just a simple performance, and the singing has been lost.

Music accompaniment is mainly the gongs and drums band of Shehuo Performance Team. The origin of "Bamboo Horse" is said to have been planned by herders, horse dealers and jockeys who have been running horses all the year round. Because of their deep affection for horses, they always wanted the image of horses to appear in the New Year's social fire team, but they could not ride real horses to participate in the performance. So we creatively made horse props, decorated them on performers, and participated in social fire activities. There is also a legend that when a man and a woman get married, the man rides a horse and the woman sits in a sedan chair, which is based on the image of the man riding a horse. Legend has it that it has a history of hundreds of years, and it is a relatively extensive form of Han folk literature and art in Jinzhong area and Qingxu area of Shanxi Province. It is characterized by a strong flavor of life, strong nationality and lively, natural, elegant and beautiful performances.
