To encourage morale before battle, soldiers were instructed to dress as women and perform music and danceThe performance later became part of the village’s annual festival rituals and has been passed down through generationsOn the communal house grounds, performers presented the dance with alternating soft and humorous movementsIn addition to the drum dance, the festival includes lion dances, wrestling and stilt walkingThe annual event aims to preserve folk cultural heritage and reinforce community ties
