Sundou Donkey Race, which originated in Sundou Village more than a hundred years ago, has a lively, humorous and funny performance style. The donkey-shaped props in the donkey race are tied into two parts with bamboo, paper and cloth, and the bottom is surrounded by cloth. The colors are black and white. Donkey race is mostly performed by two people. One person plays the role of a woman riding a donkey. She ties the donkey-shaped prop around her waist, and pretends to ride a donkey with her upper body. With the waist as the center, she sways her body left and right, and moves her lower body with trembling steps to simulate the donkey's running, jumping, kicking, startling, stubborn and other movements and expressions. The strength, size, height and lowness of the actor's upper and lower body movements should echo each other, and cooperate with the other person who plays the donkey driver. The donkey driver's driving, pulling, pulling, chasing and other movements mainly show a simple and honest image, and the performance is exaggerated, lively, funny and humorous. Donkey race usually shows a newly married couple in the countryside on the way back to their mother's home, crossing ditches, climbing slopes, donkeys being startled, and rescuing, etc., with talk and dance, humorous and humorous. The main accompaniment instruments of donkey running include suona, small drum, big cymbals and small cymbals, which set off the atmosphere and rhythm of the performance. In recent years, the donkey running team members of Sundou Village have gathered together whenever they have time to study the every move of donkey running performance. They have made innovations on the basis of the original performance form, from the original single donkey ridden by one person to the current donkey pairs and donkey teams. The donkey pairs are composed of two donkey riders dressed in red and green. The two take turns to perform on stage. The female actress takes the donkey on the stage and puts the donkey on the mouth. She pulls and shakes it, just like a real donkey on stage, and the donkey is lifelike. The donkey driver whips the donkey, and the donkey shakes its wings with the whip, sometimes kicks its hooves, and sometimes jumps happily. The scene is very lively. The donkey team is composed of multiple pairs of donkeys, who uniformly perform actions such as chewing, waving whips, and kicking legs. The donkey group and the donkey driver form a spectacular dance group, which is magnificent and soul-stirring. Sundou Donkey is an outstanding representative of the relatively complete and typical folk art form in the Yellow River Basin. Its important value is reflected in the following aspects: 1.
