An ancestor worship ceremony was held to pray for the divine dragon to provide relief from disasters. After the ceremony, a monument was erected at the entrance of the village to prevent outsiders from entering the village.
The Zhuang people are good at singing. The area around Youjiang is called "Huan", the area around Zuojiang is called "Shi", and the area around Northern Guangxi is called "Bi" and "Huan". They all mean singing folk songs, and there are regular singing festivals.
The folk song fair is called a song fair. The date of the song fair varies from place to place. The third day of the third month of the lunar calendar is the most grand. More than ten thousand people participate in the folk song fair. The contents include song invitations, begging songs, exciting songs, antiphonal songs, polite songs, and recommendation songs.
Songs, pan songs, night-time songs, farewell songs, love songs, farewell songs, etc. Liu Sanjie, who was known as the "Song Fairy" in the Tang Dynasty, was an expert in them.
During the song fair, entertainment activities such as throwing hydrangeas and "banging eggs" between men and women were also held. During this period, every household ate five-color glutinous rice. Zhuang opera was also performed in Wenshan, Yunnan, and material exchange meetings were held at the same time. In the past, the Zhuang people
Rice is planted once a year (i.e. one season), and the third day of March is the time to prepare for farming.
Gewei is to make material and spiritual preparations for spring plowing and farming. Eating five-color rice and five-color eggs is a wish for a good harvest. In the Tang Dynasty, the Zhuang people had dances, such as the Chungtang dance, which takes pounding rice as its content and the sound of knocking.
In the Song Dynasty, there were accompanying dances such as shoulder pole dance, tea picking dance, shrimp fishing dance, spring cow dance, etc. The men's dances were vigorous and powerful, while the women's were graceful and graceful. However, this dance has been passed down to this day.
The cottage that Sima Yan mentioned was the Zhuang cottage. It happened to be a good time recently. It was both a celebration and the last day of contests to recruit brides. As for what kind of celebration it was, Dakui didn't care. The only thing he cared about was winning the championship and making money.
Ten jars of rice wine came to drink, and the crowds in the Shanzhai Square were crowded.
A high platform was built in the open space just north of the square. There were dozens of people singing and dancing on the platform. Although there were many people under the platform, they all danced with the dancers on the platform. It seems that the folk customs here are also the same, but the singing and dancing are
An indispensable way to express the joy in your heart.
Dakui and Sima Yan were standing at the edge of the square. Xiao You watched with interest the people singing and dancing in a joyous atmosphere. Perhaps because of the exaggeration, Dakui couldn't help but start dancing.
When Da Kui was in high spirits, Sima Yan suddenly screamed. Da Kui quickly stopped to look, only to hear Sima Yan angrily say: "You stepped on my foot."
"Oh, I'm so sorry. Are you okay?" Dakui asked with concern.
Sima Yan knelt down and rubbed his sore feet, then shook his head and said, "It doesn't matter,"
Hearing this, Dakui laughed and said, "It's okay, let's do it again." After saying that, he actually stretched out his foot and stepped on the instep of Sima Yan's other foot. This kick was slightly lighter than the previous one, but still It was so painful that Sima Yan screamed in pain.
Sima Yan stood up and was about to have a seizure when he heard the sound of a gong from far away on the stage. All the men, women and children who were singing and dancing stopped singing and dancing. Then he saw an old man who was half a hundred years old walking up the high platform and facing the audience. He said loudly: "Today is an auspicious day to pay homage to the Dragon King, and it is also the last day for the old woman to choose a husband. Fortunately, the villagers are attending the meeting. Let's start the competition to find a bride."
As soon as he finished speaking, the young people in the audience immediately crowded forward.
Dakui and Sima Yan looked at each other, and Sima Yan asked, "What should we do?"
Dakui said with a smile: "Don't worry, let's take a look and then talk."
Sima Yan asked a little embarrassedly: "Is it really necessary to do that?"
Dakui looked at Sima Yan up and down like a monster and said, "If you regret it, it's still too late."
When Sima Yan heard this, he stopped talking and stared at the stage.
Sure enough, after a while, the crowd on the stage dispersed, and a young girl walked up. Although Dakui was far away, he could still see that this girl was extremely beautiful with bright eyes and white teeth. She was indeed an outstanding person. How could such a beautiful woman appear in this land?
Another gong sounded, and the competition began.
A young junior student climbed onto the high platform on his hands and knees. The beauty on the stage shouted: "Send your name."
The young man cupped his hands toward the audience, then thinking about the beauty opposite him, he cupped his hands and said, "My name is Ah Shui, and I am from Datong Village."
When the beauty didn't say anything, she immediately stepped closer and kicked her lower body with a hook. This young lady was not an easy person. When she saw the move, she took a step back and tried to dodge. Unexpectedly, the beauty turned out to be a false move. Who knew that the hook and kick came out? He swung his right leg out, but it hit Ah Shui's right face. This kick was so solid that Ah Shui was kicked off the stage. Fortunately, there were many people in the audience, and they all raised their hands. He caught Ah Shui's body, otherwise Ah Shui would be knocked unconscious even if he was kicked.
Da Kui saw that this beauty was really not weak in martial arts, and her kick skills were very powerful. He couldn't help but wonder in his heart. It is said that this southern style should mostly focus on boxing skills, but why was this beauty so good at her kick skills?
As soon as this idea came to an end, Ah Tu came up to the table again, but with the same result, the beauty still used a feint move and then a heart-piercing kick to invite her to the audience. In a moment, the two young men were defeated, and the audience couldn't help but burst into an uproar.
Next, there were six or seven cats and dogs who came up, and without exception, they were defeated in three unscrupulous moves. But the last one who came up claimed to be the prince of some tribe, and his skills were quite good, compared with the beauty on the stage. After fighting for more than ten moves, the beauty stabbed her throat with one palm and was defeated on the stage.
It was not until this moment that Dakui realized that this woman was using her leg skills as a guise, but her real trump card was her palm skills.
Instead, use palm techniques, especially the fist technique that involves the most palms, which is Snake Fist.

The hand shape is mainly snake-shaped palm, which can be penetrated, inserted, pressed, split, drilled, pressed, swung, picked, etc. Palm techniques and boxing techniques such as collapse, drill, press, punch, horizontal, split, and hook.

When exerting force, you also make sounds at the same time, often using the sounds of hehe, ha, and silk to assist. The routines of Snake Boxing mainly include the divine snake refining the moon, the golden snake rising on the ground, the snake being innocent, the white snake spitting out letters, the wind snake circling the tree, and the black snake rocking the stone. , composed of venomous snakes spraying, soaring snakes walking in the fog, and horned snakes responding to their tails.

When practicing, strive to be flexible and flexible, with clear opening and closing, breathing, and joints all over the body. The nodes are connected and advance diagonally along the wavy curve.
The woman in the stands of Dakui was only about 20 years old, but she was so skilled in martial arts, and she was amazed in her heart.
After only waiting for a cup of tea, no one came on stage. Dakui said in Sima Yan's ear: "It's your turn, go up."
Sima Yan asked with some trepidation: "This won't work, right?"
Dakui said impatiently: "If you don't want to go, then give me ten jars of rice wine in exchange for the jade pendant."
Sima Yan became a little anxious after hearing this, and immediately raised his voice and shouted to the stage: "Look, I, Sima Yan, have come to meet you." As he said this, he strode towards the stage. Everyone who was talking about the matter suddenly heard Sima Yan's shout. They all exclaimed: "Oh, here comes the master," "Oh, he is still a handsome young man,"
Sima Yan ignored the gossip around him. When he arrived at the stage, he climbed onto the stage and finally made it to the ring. The audience burst into applause.
"Sign up if you come," the beauty still looked coldly.
Sima Yan said: "I am just a scholar. I have admired the girl for a long time, so I came here to compete regardless of my ability. I hope the girl can give me a show."
The beauty smiled softly, which really confuses all sentient beings: "You don't know martial arts,"
Sima Yan thought for a while and summoned up the courage to say: "I know a little bit, but I'm not proficient."
The beauty couldn't help but smile and said: "If you are not sure of winning, I advise you to step down."
"No, that's not what I meant," Sima Yan said after a pause, "Let's change the method of fighting."
The beauty asked doubtfully: "How do you want to compete?"
Sima Yan pointed to the edge of the ring and said: "Let's stand at the edge of the ring. Whoever gets knocked off the ring will be considered a loser."
The beauty lowered her head and thought for a moment before saying, "Okay, please," and then she actually walked to the edge of the ring.
Sima Yan then came to the side of the ring and said, "Well, that's fine." Before he finished speaking, the beauty had already made the first move.
"Wait a minute," Sima Yan shouted sharply.
The beauty stopped midway in desperation and asked in confusion: "What do you want?"
Unexpectedly, Sima Yan then shouted: "I'm taking off my pants," and as he said that, he reached out and unbuckled his belt with a speed rarely seen in the world.
"Ah," the beauty was so embarrassed that she quickly turned her back, causing an uproar in the audience.
There are many taboos in the customs of the Zhuang people, and of course the rules of etiquette are also extremely strict. The Han people have a saying, don't look at anything inappropriate, and the Zhuang people follow this truth, so Sima Yan took advantage of it.
He had been practicing that horizontal kick all night, and it was just the right time to use it.
"You go down," Sima Yan kicked the beauty on the back. Naturally, the beauty was kicked and fell off the ring.
Not only this beauty, but also everyone present did not expect that beauty is not afraid of youth and strong martial arts, but in the end she lost to shamelessness. Dakui saw from a distance that everything was as he thought, and he was already dancing happily and drinking. drank,
