Traditional sports performances of ethnic minorities in China

Miao people in Guizhou and Hunan, Zhuang people in Guangxi, during the Spring Festival, swing frames as high as 3-4 feet were erected on the streets, and some young men and women took the opportunity of swinging to find their beloved partners. Korean girls in Northeast China also have swings or performances during festivals and slack seasons. During the competition, 1 rope with two bells crosses the height in front of the swing. As soon as the swing touches the rope, the copper bell will make a noise. Whoever touches it the most times is considered to be highly skilled. On a beautiful spring morning, the girls of Gaoshan nationality in Taiwan Province Province wore beautiful clothes and invited their friends to swing under the big tree. They called this activity "Mianmian" (meaning "Flying"), which vividly expressed their good wishes for happiness. Polishing swing

Every Spring Festival, Zhuang boys and girls like to grind swings. They planted 1 stake on the ground (about 1 m higher than the ground), installed 1 long transverse board with a round hole in the middle at the top of the pile, and each end of the board sat 1 person. * * Rhythmically, they use their feet to make the crossbar and people spin on it. Polishing swings is a mass collective activity, which needs the cooperation of * * *. In the process of rapid rotation, people who are not dizzy are praised. Miao teenagers like to kick shuttlecock with their hands. The bottom of badminton is made of 2 inches long bamboo with chicken feathers on it. The shuttlecock kicker holds a square stick with a handle (a little bigger than a table tennis bat). The way of the game is to serve and catch the ball in turn, and if you can't catch it, you lose. Singles and doubles competitions are often held during the Spring Festival every year.
