Little Super Stilts Performance Time

Performance time of Little Super Stilts Team: February 14.

Old Jinan people often say: "Jinan people don't include jiaozi during the Spring Festival, and they don't call it Chinese New Year, walking on stilts and Chinese New Year." On February 14 (the 14th day of the first month of the Year of the Tiger), Wang Chao, the inheritor of Shandong intangible cultural heritage and the class leader of Jinan Jianghu Art Club, arranged performances in eight places, from 9: 00 a.m. to 9: 30 p.m., with a full schedule. At four or five o'clock in the afternoon of the fourteenth day of the first month, I watched their wonderful performance in the Grand View Garden.

The Little Super Stilts Team of Jianghu Art Society combines the local traditional stilts in Jinan with those in Hebei, so that the audience can enjoy two different styles of stilts. Walking on stilts, literary stilts emphasize dressing up and teasing, while martial arts stilts emphasize personal skills and unique skills, which are superb, lively and diverse, and are deeply loved by the audience.

The origin of stilts:

Scholars believe that the origin of stilts is related to the totem worship of primitive clans and the fishing life of coastal fishermen. According to the research of historians, the Danzhu clan, which took cranes as its totem in Yao and Shun times, had to dance on stilts to imitate cranes when offering sacrifices. There is a description of "long-share country" in the ancient document "Shan Hai Jing". According to the notes of the ancients, we can know that the "long-share country" is related to walking on stilts.

It is not difficult to imagine the image of fishing in shallow water with long wooden stilts tied to feet and primitive fishing tools made of long wood from the annotation "Long-legged people often take long-armed people to fish in the sea". More interestingly, today's Jing fishermen living in the coastal areas of Fangcheng, Guangxi still have the habit of fishing with long stakes in shallow waters.
