Anchor's words are customary: stepping on stilts in the sound of gongs and drums, long-sleeved good dance skirts fluttering

Poke the video and watch the highlights

Every day for one minute, the anchor has something to say, I am Qiu Long.

During the Spring Festival, what is the most exciting thing to see? Today, I will tell you that it is the annual Spring Festival action drama - stilts!

Small whirlwinds, harriers turning over, large forks, performers stepping on three-foot-high wooden strips, performing unique martial arts, such as walking on the ground, onlookers clapped their hands and applauded! At this time of year, as soon as the pair of stilts appears, it will attract a large number of men, women and children to watch! It's not hilarious!

But do you know the origin of stilt walking? There is a folk legend that Yan Bao, who is known for his comical spring and autumn Warring States period, once went on a mission to a neighboring country, and the neighboring countries laughed at his short stature, so he put on a pair of wooden legs and suddenly became tall, making the monarchs and courtiers of that country laugh. He used the theme to play again, and ridiculed them, making them very embarrassed. According to this, the stilt walking activity has been passed down to the people.

According to the 1930s "Yifeng" magazine, "Chopstick Street and Hoop Street in Wuchang are often flooded due to their low status and humidity, and the residents there almost always step on stilts whenever they flood." This, again, stems from the record of working life.
