In early summer, with lush vegetation, the campus of Zhangping Ethnic School in Guixi, Yingtan City, Jiangxi Province, is filled with vitality as the sun shines through the leaves, casting mottled light and shadow. At 9:40 am, as the school's recess exercise bell rang, more than 30 students on the playground, under the guidance of teacher Nie Yihong, danced the unique She ethnic bamboo pole dance in groups with the crisp sound of bamboo pole strikes. The She ethnic group's bamboo pole dance, also known as "bamboo dance", is a collective dance that uses bamboo poles as props and rhythm as the core. During the performance, multiple people stand on either side, holding bamboo poles and tapping them in a specific rhythm. Dancers jump and shuttle along with the ups and downs of the bamboo pole, with a combination of firmness and softness in their movements. They have both the resounding sound of stepping on the ground and the agile jumping posture, combining the fitness effect of sports with the beauty of dance rhythm. At the moment of hearing 'open', quickly insert your right foot into the gap of the bamboo pole and immediately retract it. After repeated practice, follow the rhythm and alternate between left and right feet, like a light deer jumping over a stream... "Nie Yihong patiently guided the students to focus on learning, striving for precision in every movement. As the rhythm becomes more intense, the dance steps become more orderly, and the atmosphere on the playground becomes more lively. The She charm lingers and strikes the bamboo charm. In recent years, Zhangping Ethnic School has incorporated the inheritance and protection of ethnic culture into its curriculum, innovated forms, and promoted ethnic sports into the campus. Ethnic sports such as bamboo pole dance, stilt walking, board shoes, and cuqiu have been combined with regular breaks and physical education classes, and integrated into daily teaching. This not only exercises students' physical fitness, but also promotes ethnic culture. These characteristic sports not only break the stereotype of traditional physical education teaching, but also make students truly fall in love with exercise in joy and sweat, "said Xu Zhihong, principal of Zhangping Ethnic School. Students have been invited many times to go out of the mountains and participate in activities such as" March 3rd "and" Village Evening "organized by the city, county, and township, to carry out ethnic unity and exchange in urban schools, showcasing the charm of the children in She Township. A bamboo pole dance usually requires 16 to 20 people, divided into two groups. One group holds a bamboo pole and hits the ground to open and close, while the other group jumps back and forth according to the rhythm. The movements emphasize treading, moving, and taking wrong steps, including several classic formations such as opening and closing formation, cross formation, and chain formation. Nie Yihong said, "We break down each action and let the children practice repeatedly until they master it proficiently. Everyone's enthusiasm for participation is very high." "The inheritance of She ethnic culture has aroused great interest among children. ”Lei Yanqin, Secretary of the Party Committee of Zhangping She Ethnic Township, said that we will continue to promote the integration of ethnic sports into schools, allowing more children to experience the charm of ethnic sports in their studies.
