Pole dancing belongs to Zhuang nationality, which mainly comes from the working life of rice-making, and it is a road from rice-making dance to pole dancing on the bench. People are knocking at random one by one, and then transplanting, harvesting, threshing and husking will be carried out.
Pole dancing began with a piece of wood, which was directly covered on the rice jar and hit with a pole. Because the stone trough was too heavy to move, it was slowly replaced by a long bench. Now every year from the first day to the sixteenth day of the first month, every village will carry a pole. Once the sixteenth day has passed, I won't mention it again.
In some places, bamboo poles are used instead of wooden poles and shoulder poles, and several ancient copper coins are tied at both ends of bamboo poles to pray for good weather, abundant crops, prosperity of people and animals, good luck and so on. The voice is crisp and nice.
There is no limit to the number of people performing pole dancing, but it must be an even number, and two, four or six people can do it. Dancers stand on both sides of the bench, facing each other, and strike the dance according to the prescribed ideas.
Sometimes they hit each other with a shoulder pole, and sometimes they knock on the stool surfaces at both ends with a shoulder pole. Sometimes the two sides of the bench hit each other in pairs, sometimes they can turn around and hit one person next to them, and the four-person oblique strike can also be interspersed in the middle.
The performance costume of pole dancing is the life costume that Zhuang women usually wear, including flowered headscarves, Chinese diagonal tops, Chinese trousers and chest pockets. The road is different from a bench with a shoulder pole. This bench is made of wood, about seven feet long, one foot two inches wide and one foot five inches high. The flat pen is made of bamboo and is about four feet and five inches long.
