Dayu Pangpai Dance (the fourth batch of provincial level) Pangpai Dance is a battle formation and tactical action created by Qi Jiguang, a famous anti-Japanese general, in training and practice (see Qi Jiguang's "Treatise on Training"), which was later introduced to the people and choreographed into a kind of military dance for martial arts fitness and performance. Pangpai Dance mainly simulates the situation of the enemy and our infantry and cavalry fighting against each other. The props used in the dance performance are actual combat weapons. Weapons are divided into defensive weapons and offensive weapons. Defensive weapons are composed of Pangpai (round, swallowtail-shaped shields); offensive weapons are composed of knives, sticks, guns, axes, hook sickles, double maces, flower rakes, etc. The performance form of Pangpai Dance is divided into two parts: formation performance and stabbing performance. First, the formation performance is carried out, which is divided into four formations; the stabbing performance is divided into three routines for long and short weapons to attack and defend. The whole performance process fully demonstrates the fierce scene of fighting against the enemy in ancient times. Pangpai Dance was learned by Kang Mingsheng, a local in the county, during the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty when he was studying martial arts in Nanjing. He brought it back and taught it to the people. It has been passed down from generation to generation in the Kang clan banner of Jicun Town in the county for more than 400 years. Pangpai Dance is a rare folk military dance that combines martial arts fitness and performance. Through the performance, it vividly and artistically reproduces Qi Jiguang's military tactics and strategies and the heroic and flexible fighting spirit of the Qi family army, which has strong sports fitness, performance appreciation value and military historical value.
