It depends entirely on the interests of scholars. Double boat dance is rare in folk dance, which has academic value, ornamental value and historical value.
Form of performance
The traditional performance form of double-roller boat dance is mainly to show pictures on the running field, bringing all kinds of life of boating on the water to the ground for exaggerated performance. The combination of reality and reality has achieved a good artistic performance effect, such as pulling anchor, lifting boat, pulling water, backwater, pulling waves, lying in the boat, turning over, crossing the boat and dropping anchor, which makes people feel as if they are there.
During the performance, the woman in front of the boat and behind the boat held a folding fan in her right hand and a handkerchief in her left hand, and her lower body was covered by the apron of the boat. There are a pair of wooden artificial legs in front of the front boat woman's abdomen, covered with colored silk, which looks like a plate of feet facing the abdomen, and the image is realistic, just like a woman sitting at the bow.
