It was a morning on Thursday in the third grade. We had a lively and interesting music class.

With the crisp ringing of the class bell, we walked into the music classroom with light steps. I saw the four characters "Axi jumps over the moon" written on the blackboard, and question marks emerged in my mind. What is "Axi" and what is "moon jumping"? ...

The music teacher asked us: "Students, do you know the Yi people?" We rushed to answer: "Yes!" "Then I will test you. Do you know what 'Axi' is?" What?" We all shook our heads. The music teacher said: "Axi is what the Yi people call themselves." The music teacher asked again: "Do you know what the dance the Yi people do at their most solemn festival, the Torch Festival, is called?" We all said in unison. The teacher replied: "Jump to the moon." "Yes, you are very smart!" The teacher taught us to "jump to the moon." The steps of this dance are to take two steps to the left and kick your feet hard, then take two steps to the right and kick your feet hard. We learned it quickly and created many forms of "moon dancing" by ourselves, such as: dancing hand in hand, dancing in a circle, etc. The students all danced very seriously. The teacher also praised Zhanyan. Zhanyan became more serious after being praised, and kicked her feet harder. Unexpectedly, even her shoes were kicked off.

Through this music class, we not only learned a new national dance, but also learned many customs of the Yi people.
