Shapes such as "one-word-long snake", "two dragons are neck and neck", "dragon wagging its tail" and "single pair of flowers" are all based on uniformity. The other is to perform in a square, street or courtyard, which is called "playing field". It is the main performance form of pulling flowers, which can give full play to the performers' skills. At the time of "a fight", the village where Wushe was on fire was hit with three sticks. Otherwise, the flower-pulling dance team will go around the field in the form of "crossing the street" and play by itself. Then the whole dance team performed a formation change performance. At this time, more complex formations such as "four old people watching flowers", "lotus in full bloom" and "gourd array" are adopted. After that, umbrella ① and bag ⑥, board ④ and bully ④ and bottle ⑥ were performed by two people respectively. At this time, although accompanied by singing, reflecting a certain content of life, but the dance movements and collective performances are roughly the same. So it can't reach the height of "out of line".
Traditional flower pulling is performed by three men and three women. Six roles are a team. The old artist said it means "six in one spring". The first person dressed as an old man, holding an umbrella in his left hand and a fan in his right hand, was named after props, which was called "public umbrella". The first woman dressed in colorful clothes carries a "bag" on her back and a fan in her right hand, called a "backpack" with a "public umbrella". The second man dressed as a young man holds two bamboo boards in each hand, which are called "Taiping" or "Siwa". The second woman disguised as a young woman, with a overlord whip in her left hand and a handkerchief in her right hand, called "overlord whip", is a pair with young men. The third man, dressed as a pair of boys and girls, carries vases on his left shoulder, holds a fan in his right hand and hangs a handkerchief on the little finger of the girl's left hand, all of which are called "picking bottles".
There is also a "peddler" instead of a "public umbrella" (other roles remain unchanged). The left hand holds a bow-shaped peddler rack with various kinds of wool hanging on it, and the right hand holds a peddler drum. This dance team featuring "vendors" and "backpacks", referred to as "selling wool", sings mostly love songs.
In addition, there is a "overlord whip" and a "Taiping drum" instead of two "bottles". Or a dance team composed of a "brass cymbal", an "octagonal drum", an ugly, a niche, four "four tiles" and four "overlord whips". But this kind of dance is simple, and many people don't recognize it as pulling flowers.
Like some ancient dances (such as "stilts"), the old flower-pulling facial makeup painted "five poisons" (snakes, scorpions, centipedes, toads) on men's faces. Women draw flowers on their faces. However, long before the founding of New China, it was changed to draw lotus flowers between men's eyebrows and plum blossoms on both cheeks, while women painted "overlord whip" as handsome, while women painted "picking bottles" as chrysanthemums on both cheeks, and "backpacks" drew a thick white or red line on their faces, from the top of the right eyebrow down through the nose to the left cheek. Except for picking bottles, all men have moustaches with clips (the umbrella is white and the board is black). After the founding of New China, all the characters changed into handsome costumes. Some people even had their noses and beards cut off. For the meaning and evolution of traditional facial makeup, the elderly over 70 years old can't give a reasonable explanation. Generally speaking, they think it is just auspicious and has no special significance. Only the lines on the front of the "backpack" are consistent, saying that it is to show the knife marks cut in the war. Whether this statement is accurate or not is not recorded. However, compared with the charm of dance and accompaniment, Facebook is quite harmonious.
