Pizhou Running Zhuma(Bamboo Horse Dance) is a famous traditional folk art in Xuzhou, Jiangsu Province. It is also a national intangible cultural heritage, with a history of more than 200 years. This lively dance has been loved by local people for generations, especially during happy festivals like the Spring Festival and the Lantern Festival.
The most special part of Pizhou Running Zhuma is its “running” spirit. Performers wear colourful traditional clothes and carry bamboo-and-paper horses around their waists. These horses are made by tying bamboo strips into a frame, pasting coloured paper on it, and adding small bells that ring when they move. Dancers pretend to ride horses, changing different steps and formations as they run. There are many interesting formation changes, such as “one-line long snake” and “two dragons getting water”, which make the performance exciting to watch. During the show, gongs, drums, and suona horns play lively music to make the atmosphere more joyful.
Pizhou Running Zhuma has an interesting origin. Some say it came from ancient stories of soldiers riding horses, while others believe it started as a way to celebrate good harvests and happy life. No matter where it came from, it has become a symbol of good luck for local people. When the performance team comes to a village, people often gather around to watch, hoping for peace and happiness in the new year.
Today, this traditional art is being well protected and passed down. Old artists teach young people how to dance and make the bamboo horse props. Some schools even open special classes to let students learn about this folk art. Thanks to these efforts, Pizhou Running Zhuma is not just a memory of the past—it is a living part of local culture that continues to bring joy to people.
