Li nationality and Miao nationality amusement gallery

Li nationality area, high mountains and dense forests. It is said that when ancestors built huts, bamboo poles kept sliding down from the roof and people kept jumping to avoid hitting their feet and stabbing their faces. This situation is quite interesting, so it was gradually imitated and improved, forming a "jumping firewood." "Jumping firewood" is called "transfer" in Li language; Jumping on a bamboo pole is called "Jun Twin" and "Carol" in Li language. When jumping, two square squares (wood truss) or logs with thick legs are laid flat on the floor of the threshing floor or hillside in parallel, and then several logs with thick wrists are placed horizontally on it. The woodcutter grabs the tail end of a log with his other hand and beats each other at the same beat, which is called "chopping wood". In the sound of regular and rhythmic knocking, the firewood jumper not only has to advance and retreat quickly, but also naturally performs various dance movements and performances, which is called "jumping firewood". After years of careful consideration, Zhu Qingyuan, director of Hainan Song and Dance Troupe, turned the wooden cart into a big wooden wheel at the mouth of the bowl and put it at both ends of the bamboo pole handle, that is, two square wooden beams (wood truss) in the middle of the formation were highly condensed into two wooden wheels, which made them free, simple, light and agile, and made the actors change various queue graphics more freely and flexibly. Li Men advocates martial arts, and Ganling dances with double knives, which is a good example. Qian Zhongshu stick is two feet long with a string of copper coins tied at both ends. Money bell means carrying a pole, and money bell means a bumper harvest (a kind of dry rice) in Shan Lan. In the dance, a big man dressed in traditional clothes and wrapped in red cloth, with an eight-inch double knife in his hand, fought with another man with a money bell stick. The shiny double knives bravely stabbed the holders of Qian Zhongshu sticks in all directions. When dancing this kind of dance, it is often carried out in a special dustpan, which requires the stinger to have the warrior spirit of bloody battle to the end, while the blocker needs the general demeanor of being fearless in times of crisis.
