Performers are of all ages and genders, and there are many ways of beating, such as two people beating, four people beating, and multiple people beating. "The Zhuang people are beating the wooden rams, raising their arms and swinging their pestles to beat them."

The movements were cheerful and powerful, the rhythm was steady, and the tone was like a drum, which could be heard from miles away. This expressed the Zhuang people's prayers and desires for a good harvest, prosperity of livestock, happiness and good fortune.
