Bamboo pole and history

The history of bamboo dance Bamboo dance is also called firewood dance. On the threshing floor or hillside ground, two square trees with the same thick legs are placed in parallel into a mat frame, and several long bamboo poles with thick wrists are placed horizontally on the mat frame. The pole holder holds the tail of a bamboo pole with both hands, and the bamboo pole collides with the mat frame and the bamboo pole makes a rhythmic sound, which is called "chopping wood". There are three kinds of pole vault postures: sitting, squatting and standing. In the rhythmic and regular banging, dancers should not only jump back and forth quickly, but also make all kinds of beautiful movements naturally at the moment when bamboo poles are separated and closed. When couples of dancers deftly jump out of the bamboo pole, the pole holder will shout, "Hey! Hehe! " The occasion is very heroic and free and easy, and the atmosphere is warm. If the dancers are unskilled or timid, they will be caught by bamboo poles or hit on the head, and the pole holders will lift the caught people with bamboo poles and throw them out, laughing together. On the contrary, boys who are good at jumping at this time often win the favor of girls because of their agility and flexibility.

As early as the Song Dynasty, when Su Wu, a great writer, left Hainan at the end of his exile, he was sent away by the hometown of the Li people, and wrote the poem "Wu Man and Song Li reverberate around the beam". It can be seen that the Li nationality's song and dance not only has a long history, but also has its unique charm.

A bamboo pole carries eight people. How many people? If we want to say the most representative traditional sports activity of the Li nationality, it is "bamboo pole jumping". According to the folklore of the Li nationality, jumping bamboo poles has existed for thousands of years. According to legend, when the ancestors of the Li nationality were building huts, bamboo poles kept falling off the roof. In order to avoid being hit by bamboo poles, people kept jumping left and right, and gradually everyone became interested in this kind of action. After continuous improvement, they formed today's bamboo pole dance, also called "firewood dance".

Jumping bamboo pole (2)

During the traditional folk festivals of the Li nationality, every household will kill chickens and pigs and cook new rice. Everyone will put on festive costumes and gather in the grain drying field or grass slope behind the village, spread out two long logs in parallel, and then insert eight bamboo poles with thick wrists on them. With the rhythm of music and drums, eight pole players will stand in a row, kneeling face to face, up and down, left and right, constantly opening and closing, while pole jumpers will follow the bamboo pole.

Jumping bamboo pole (3)

According to the traditional rules, putters are divided into three types: kneeling, squatting and standing. The rhythm is gradually accelerating and the difficulty is getting bigger and bigger. If the jumper is caught by a bamboo pole, he will be carried by the bamboo pole and thrown out of the stadium. For the players who have finally won through hardships, they should raise their bamboo poles to express their congratulations. The people who hit the pole and jump the pole often have to rotate with each other, and the onlookers often join in and cheer.

Jumping bamboo poles should not only be flexible and quick-witted, but also have certain musical literacy and dancing skills. Many professional dancers in Hainan are also masters of bamboo pole jumping. At the traditional sports meeting of ethnic minorities in China, the bamboo pole jump was rated as an excellent performance project for many times. It has also been highly praised in performances at home and abroad. As a traditional national sports with a long history, bamboo dance has developed into a traditional sports dance with strong local flavor, lively mood and superb skills, which integrates music, dance and sports.

Firecrackers are as old as firecrackers, and firecrackers are even older.

Setting off firecrackers on New Year's Eve has a history of more than 2,000 years in China. According to "Things are in the Original", it is inferred that "firecrackers burn grass in the court." On New Year's Eve, it became a custom to burn flowers in the court in the Western Zhou Dynasty. The so-called court meteor means that on the first night of the first month, people plant reeds, pine trees, bamboo poles and so on in temples and mansions during sacrifices.

At first, firecrackers just burned bamboo to make a sound. With the invention and widespread use of paper, alchemists gradually discovered that nitrate, sulfur and carbon are flammable substances. In the Tang Dynasty, the development of firecrackers was that people lit a long bamboo pole or hung a string of bamboo knots on it to explode, which was then called "exploding bamboo poles". Firecrackers didn't exist until after the Song Dynasty.

Meng Zong is one of the stories of twenty-four filial piety, which is about all kinds of bamboos. As for sweeping bamboo, I don't mean bamboo. I have a better understanding of this history and listed it.

Meng Zongzhu

Meng Zong, a native of Jiangxia in the Three Kingdoms, lost his father when he was a teenager, and his mother and son lived together. He is diligent in reading and extremely filial.

When she grew up, her mother was old and sick. No matter what his mother wants to eat, he tries his best to satisfy her. One day, my mother was seriously ill and wanted to eat bamboo shoots to cook soup, but it was winter, and it was snowy in Wan Li. Where can I find bamboo shoots? He was helpless and couldn't think of any good way, so he ran to the bamboo forest and cried bitterly. I cried for a long time, but I felt hot all over and the wind was very hot. When he opened his eyes, the surrounding snow and ice melted and the vegetation changed from dry to green. Then he looked carefully and found that there were many bamboo shoots around him. His filial piety touched the world. He let his mother eat bamboo shoots, and she recovered.

He also said that his mother was old and very ill, and the doctor told him to make soup with fresh bamboo shoots. It was winter and there were no fresh bamboo shoots. Meng Zong had nothing to do, so he ran to the bamboo forest alone and held the bamboo to cry. After a while, he suddenly heard a crack on the ground and saw some tender bamboo shoots growing on the ground. Meng Zong was overjoyed and picked it back to make soup. After drinking it, his mother really recovered. Later, he became an official.

There is a poem that says: tears are dripping in the cold wind, and bamboo is counting; In a little while, the winter bamboo shoots will come out, and God will bring peace.

This is a story in China's famous "Twenty-four Filial Pieties" in ancient times.

Just like chopping bamboo.

At the end of the Three Kingdoms, Sima Yan, Emperor Wu of Jin Dynasty, destroyed Shu, seized the state power of Wei, prepared to send troops to attack Wu Dong, and realized the wish of reunifying China. He called the minister of civil and military affairs to discuss the destruction plan. Most people think that Wu still has some strength, and it may not be easy to destroy it at one fell swoop. You'd better be well prepared.

General Du Yu disagreed with most people's views and wrote a letter to Emperor Wu of Jin Dynasty. Du Yu believes that Wu must be destroyed while it is weak, otherwise it will be difficult to defeat if it has strength. Sima Yan read Du Yu's letter and asked Zhang Hua, his most trusted minister, for advice. Zhang Hua agreed with Du Yu's analysis and suggested attacking Wu quickly to avoid future troubles. So Sima Yan made up his mind to appoint Du Yu as the general of conquering the south. In 279 AD, Sima Yan, Emperor Wu of the Jin Dynasty, mobilized more than 200,000 military forces and divided them into six groups to attack the State of Wu. All the way, gongs and drums were loud, flags were flying, and the soldiers were mighty and magnificent. In the second year, he captured Jiangling, beheaded one of the generals of Wu, and led the army to pursue them. Wu Jun, south of Yuanjiang River and Xiangjiang River, was frightened and surrendered by opening the gate. Sima Yan ordered Du Yu to March from the path to Jianye, which is the capital of Wu. At this time, some people are worried that the Yangtze River is surging, so it is better to wait until winter before attacking. Du Yu is firmly opposed to withdrawing troops. He said: "Now when morale is high and fighting spirit is strong, we have won one victory after another, just like a broken bamboo (like chopping bamboo with a sharp knife, it will break in a few weeks). It doesn't take much effort to capture Wu in one fell swoop! " Rulers of the army, under the guidance of Du Yu, robbed the builders in Wudu, and soon captured Jianye and destroyed the State of Wu. Emperor Wu of Jin unified the whole country.

The story comes from the biography of Du Yu in the Book of Jin. The idiom "like a broken bamboo" describes the ceaseless victory in the battle.

Industrial timber

Although bamboo has many advantages, such as fast growth, high yield, strong toughness and abundant reserves, its performance in industrial application is far inferior to that of wood because of its hollow, many bamboo joints and easy longitudinal fracture.

In industrial application, the only bright spot may be bamboo pallet products. It is understood that the bamboo pallet products produced by Nanjing Hanqing Bamboo Industry Co., Ltd. have the advantages of fumigation-free, high strength, strong bearing capacity, strong impact resistance, recyclable, easy maintenance, waterproof, mildew-proof and insect-proof.
