Suizhou Folk Custom
Suizhou, located at the junction of Hubei and Henan, is a place where the cultures of the north and the south converge. It is characterized by the coexistence of both the north and the south and various arts. Taking drama as an example, Han Opera and Chu Opera, which reflect Chu culture, have a large audience in Suinan, while Quju Opera, Yuediao Opera and Henan Opera, which represent Central Plains culture, also have a wide market in Suibei. The unique Suizhou Flower Drum Opera is more popular with Suizhou people. The original Suizhou Flower Drum Opera was a folk tune in which some folk artists were playing, dancing and singing with a small round drum on their backs. Later, it developed into singing with people and helping people play gongs and drums in Dongdongcang. Up to now, Shennong Temple has competed with village drums every year, and has absorbed the tunes of West Road Flower Drum and North Road Flower Drum. Suizhou Flower Drum Opera has gradually formed a vocal art focusing on barbarian tunes, Shangdiao tunes, Liangshan tunes, and Caidiao tunes. Most of its contents reflect the love between men and women, oppose feudal ethics, castigate the poor and love the rich, and sing praises of fairness and integrity, but there are also some low-level and absurd dross coexisting. It is another feature of Suizhou Huagu Opera that people can agree to it backstage if necessary, and the emperor never appears in front, reflecting the characteristics of Huagu Opera as a small play for the working people at the bottom. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, especially after the establishment of the professional Flower Drum Troupe in 1956, the repertoire has been greatly enriched. There are more than 40 modern operas in total, including sorting, editing, transplanting traditional operas, compiling new historical plays, and creating and performing modern plays.

There are dozens of common folk art forms, such as dragon lantern, bench dragon, lion, land boat, stilt, drum script, Daoqing, suona, folk song, chant, etc., especially the folk art forms represented by Suizhou (one-man sedan chair, dragon bar, unicorn), which shows the charm of local art characteristics. The one-man sedan chair is a popular form of folk performance in Suizhou and surrounding areas. The performer carries a long piece of bamboo on his back and ties a car cover on it. The car rider performs under the car roof. It is better for two people to perform, both men and women can. Performers who step on drums or music rhythms, coupled with love, humor and funny hilarious scenes, can produce strong artistic effects. The Dulong Bar is fastened with long and short cedar poles crossed into a "straight" shape. Two people lift the pole, and one person holds the back of the pole. The performers of the front pole mostly dress up as corrupt officials, and a urinal is tied with strips on the chest. With the flash of the pole, the black gauze hat wings of the corrupt officials swing up and down, and the urinal also swings to the chest of the corrupt officials from time to time, which is funny, reflecting the ridicule of the working people on the feudal rulers. Such performances can be performed in one or more groups. People call it: the pole is used as a sedan chair. It's funny and good-looking. It's not a real sedan chair, but hilarious. Unicorn refers to a performer who stretches his hands up and merges his head to form a "Ping Lan", draws a human or animal face on his belly, takes his breasts as eyes, his navel as mouth, his middle stomach is painted with a nose, and his waist is surrounded by a black skirt (meaning a beard), playing with a group of children, reflecting an artistic situation where people and animals live in harmony. Folk art forms are very popular in urban and rural areas of Suizhou. At the opening ceremony in 1993, tens of thousands of Chinese and foreign guests enjoyed their eyes with the successful performance. The legend of Yan Emperor Shennong (Suizhou City, Shennongjia Forest District, Hubei Province) and Huagu Opera (Suzhou City, Huaibei City, Xuancheng City, Anhui Province; Suizhou City, Macheng City, Hubei Province; Yueyang County, Shaoyang City, Changde City, Hunan Province) were included in the second batch of national intangible cultural heritage lists.
