The earliest records show that the Huashan mural in zhuang dance was actually an ode to the frog god by the ancestors of Zhuang nationality at that time. The form of this dance is that in the Wei and Jin Dynasties, when people offered sacrifices to ghosts and gods, they danced ghosts and gods to inspire people. In Song Dynasty, there were Nuo teams in Guilin and northern Guangxi, wearing masks to dance for the gods. Witchcraft dance has been spread until 1949 years ago, and it is divided into master dance and wizard dance, which is part of superstitious activities.
Take pole dancing as an example: Zhuang pole dancing, also known as playing pole dancing, is popular in Du 'an, Mashan, Donglan and Nandan counties of Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region. There are performances from the first day of the first lunar month to the Lantern Festival every year, and the venue is in the grain drying field in front of the village. There are four performers, six performers, ten performers and twenty performers, all even, mostly women.
During the performance, the dancers stood opposite each other with a pole, surrounded by wooden troughs or benches more than one foot long and one foot wide, and everyone shouted and hit them up and down, singing and jumping, simulating the postures and movements of harrowing fields, transplanting rice, scooping water, harvesting, threshing and threshing rice in agricultural activities.
Dancers sometimes play in pairs, sometimes four people cross each other, and sometimes many people play together; There are standing, squatting, jumping, turning, hitting, etc. With all kinds of movements of light and heavy, strong and weak, fast and slow, beautiful and natural, the whole dance is beautiful and fresh. 1955, this dance was selected to participate in the performance of the National Amateur Song and Dance Observation Conference and won the Excellence Award. Pole dancing is still loved by Zhuang people, with strong performance and entertainment.
