Meizhuang Flower Stick, also known as "beating lotus", originated in the Yuan Dynasty. It is a folk dance that is popular in Meizhuang Town, Ertang Township, Nantai Township and other places in Jinxian County. The earliest "flower stick" used real lotus poles with flowers in the pond for sacrifice and welcoming gods. Later, it was innovated by folk artists and replaced with small bamboo sticks with joint whips, with several copper coins hanging on both ends, and then matched with red hemp tassels. Tea lantern dance was added to the "flower stick" performance, forming a unique "flower stick dance" that is widely used in various festive activities. The dance is concise, bright and lively. The performer holds a simple "flower stick" and, accompanied by the rhythm of music, interspersed in the lantern team, beats a variety of different teas. The flower stick is waved, and the tassels are elegant, which is very beautiful. The number of participants can be more or less; when performing collectively, the movements are required to be consistent and the steps are aligned. The copper coins on the flower sticks "squeak" with the dance, making the rhythm stronger and more powerful, and the atmosphere is very warm. It is divided into single flower stick, double flower stick and collective flower stick. Single flower stick is performed by a martial artist, holding a flower stick, and appearing in the rapid sound of gongs and drums, moving and turning, with the shadow of the stick following the person. The movements are complex and varied, free and unrestrained, and the kung fu of both hardness and softness is pleasing to the eye and inspiring. Double flower stick is played by a man (Xiaosheng) and a woman (Xiaodan), and there are three procedures: appearance, fighting, and modeling. Xiaosheng holds the stick and shakes the fan to walk in the dwarf step, while Xiaodan holds the stick and swings the gauze scarf to walk in the lotus step, the flower sticks hit each other, and they sing while hitting, with humorous movements and full of rural interest. There is no limit to the number of people in the collective flower stick. Everyone is arranged in a certain formation, dancing to the music, emphasizing uniformity, with long roars and short commands, and it is high-spirited and fierce, which is spectacular. In terms of music, folk tea lantern tunes such as "A Pair of Embroidered Shoes", "White Peony", "Fan in the Gauze", "December Flowers", "What a Beautiful Young Poplar" are used, and accompaniment such as gongs and drums, erhu, and trumpets are used to render the festive atmosphere to the fullest. Meizhuang Flower Stick has a strong rural flavor. After hundreds of years of extension and inheritance, it has formed a unique artistic charm and is still active in villages and towns, and is deeply loved by the general public.
