But in Sihong, Jiangsu, people will say the Qiangan Dance (钱杆舞). A qiangan is a bamboo or wood stick. There are copper coins (铜钱) on it. People dance to music. They use the qiangan to tap (轻拍) their arms, legs and other body parts. It became an intangible cultural heritage (非物质文化遗产) in Jiangsu in 2023. Hu Bo, 50, is the president (主席) of the Qiangan Dance Association in Sihong county. He started learning the dance at a young age. He believes Qiangan Dance shows the Huaihe culture. Sihong county is near to the Huaihe River. This river divides (划分) northern and southern China. So the Qiangan Dance “mixes the softer style of southern China with the stronger moves of northern China”, Hu said. He also posts Qiangan Dance videos on Douyin to get more attention. “Many people show great interest in it. This makes me want to bring it to a bigger stage (舞台),” he said. Many schools in Sihong now have Qiangan Dance lessons. “I’m very happy to see that. It can help students keep fit. I really hope they can become interested in this special folk dance,” said Hu. These days, few people practice Qiangan Dance. Hu wanted to pass the dance down to others. So he made a team in 2013. Now, about 30 people from his team can do the Qiangan Dance on stage. 29. What dance is Shihong County known for? A. Yangko Dances. B. Dragon Dances. C. Lion Dances. D. Qiangan Dance. 30. How do people dance Qiangan Dance? A. They throw coins when they dance. B. They move like dragons and lions. C. They tap their bodies with a qiangan. D. They don’t need music when they dance. 31. When did Oiangan Dance become an intangible cultural heritage? A. In 2021. B. In 2013. C. In 2022. D. In 2023. 32. What does Hu Bo say about Qiangan Dance? A. It is not a Chinese dance. B. It is a mix of different styles. C. It shows the culture of water. D. It should be a group dance. C “Ne Zha 2: The Devil Child Comes to the Sea” tops the Chinese box office chart. It makes more money than “The Battle at Lake Changjin”.
