3, roller boat dance

When performing a single boat, the boatwoman "sits" in the cabin, and the ferryman dances with the boatwoman. On a two-person boat, the boatwoman "sits" in the cabin, and the ferryman "sits" on the front board of the boat and dances with the boatwoman.

Both kinds of hulls are made of wood and bamboo, decorated with cloth and paper, with hydrangeas hanging at the four corners. Beautiful wax flowerpot lights are fixed at the front and back of the cabin, which makes the ship look gorgeous and beautiful. The performance of this program is ups and downs from beginning to end, and the ferryman and the boatwoman cooperate tacitly, which is fun but not vulgar.

5. lion dance

Commonly known as lion beating. During the performance, two people were holding the lion, and one was holding the lion. According to the skill of the lion bearer, the tactics are different. At the beginning of the performance, gongs and drums rang and cheered, leading the lion to take a week off with fast steps, and then jumping about five or six meters before the appearance with arrow steps or somersaults.

Holding up the lamp, waving and screaming, the lion went down the mountain with the momentum of a tiger. The two sides fought repeatedly, and after hitting four doors (that is, the cross), the lion was tamed, and then the lion's head performed acrobatic performances, such as rolling, jumping on tables and stools, climbing on high platforms, rolling hydrangeas and so on. Finally, lead the lion to hold the lion's head or fly and ride the lion around the field.
