Kuancheng Beigan is commonly known as Beige, and is mainly distributed in Kuancheng Manchu Autonomous County and Beicun, Kuancheng Town. Kuancheng Manchu Autonomous County is located in the northeast of Yanshan Mountain Range and in the south of Chengde City. It borders Chengde County to the north, Kouli (Qianxi, Zunhua) to the west, Pingquan and Liaoning to the east, and Qinglong Manchu Autonomous County to the south. Beicun, Kuancheng Town, Kuancheng Manchu Autonomous County, is located in the northeast of the county. According to the recollections of existing old artists, Kuancheng Beigan began in the Qing Dynasty and flourished from the Republic of China to the early 20th century. Due to the prosperity of the Kuancheng Laoye Temple Fair at that time, it greatly promoted the development of folk cultural and artistic activities. The props of Kuancheng back pole are made with great care, and the upper and lower corners are tied with great care. For example, the abacus in "Counting Grain and Entering the Palace" is made, and the twisting child stands on the abacus with one leg tilted, Nezha steps on the wind and fire wheel in "Fire Cave Heaven", and the peaches in "Ma Rui Offering Longevity" are made. The thirteen props are very different from those in the counties and districts around Chengde. They are finely polished, ingenious, and difficult to distinguish between true and false. They are all praised by people. They have attracted a large number of folk artists from inside and outside the country to come and observe and learn from them, but most of them only take the appearance and not the spirit. The weight of Kuancheng back pole is about 26.5 to 27 kilograms on average. A good back pole can carry more than 200 kilograms (three or four twisting children). Nowadays, the restored poles are all iron frames, and the binding requirements of the upper and lower poles are extremely high, and friction, rubbing, squeezing and pressing are avoided as much as possible. The upper and lower corners are based on the premise of free movement, safety and reliability. During the performance, several people who make crosses and carry stools follow closely behind, and logistics and other personnel perform their duties with clear responsibilities. The costumes of Kuancheng pole-carrying performances are all theatrical costumes. The music is different from other types of performances. The percussion instruments are divided into two drums, one for the leather drum and the other for the bass drum, Su Luo, mute cymbals, etc., playing Peking opera drum music, and the suona only plays one tune "General's Order". Because there are many performers in Kuancheng pole-carrying performances, the traditional pole-carrying performances require that the performances will not be repeated in three days, and the performers (twisting children) are changed every day. The team is huge and the cost is huge. In history, the pole-carrying performances in temple fairs were mostly jointly organized by officials, merchants, and the public. In difficult times, there have been fund-raising by the Chamber of Commerce and individuals. Because Kuancheng pole-carrying performances are well-known in the local area, they have never been interrupted due to high costs and large numbers of people before the Cultural Revolution. After ten years of catastrophe, it was on the verge of paralysis. Today, with the economic take-off, the long-renowned "Kuancheng pole-carrying performance" is hard to find. Kuancheng back pole has a long history, which has lasted from the Qing Dynasty to the Republic of China. As most of the 13th generation of old artists have passed away, only one person is left, Mr. Ma Chunlai, who is nearly 76 years old.
