After the breast beating dance was introduced from Quanzhou in the early years, it was also called "playing flowers and plants" and "playing monkey boxing" in Tongan. There are two main forms of performance: one is a street parade, taking part in festive activities in the form of a dance team, and the collective movements are coordinated and standardized, with "small jump", "small jump" and "playing the eighth ring" marching along the street. This way of jumping is small, fast, warm and cheerful, and easy to March. Second, in the fixed-point performances in squares, halls and stages, the emotional changes, action range, difficulty and formation changes are relatively large, and the speed and urgency are combined; In the basic movements of high-five, eight beats, jade donkey jumping, golden rooster independence, good talent holding the card, frog coming out of the hole, small castration and big castration, the bold and unrestrained duo "chicken fighting" and "chicken spreading its wings", humorous and flexible "chasing mice" and "extra jumping", leisurely and serene "frog drinking water" and "frog sweeping mosquitoes" were added.

There is no limit to the number of chest-beating dancers in Tongan, but they are all strong men, wearing round grass hoops on their heads, bare upper bodies and ribbons around their waists. With the slow, medium and fast rhythm and dance steps of the accompaniment, they freely shake their heads, shake their feet, clap their chests and twist their waists, clap their arms rhythmically, sometimes jump, sometimes kneel, sometimes lift their legs, sometimes kick and occasionally shake their feet.

Tongan clap breast dance performance commonly used tunes are "3,200 Gold" and "Nine Rings", with suona, flute, string, pipa, sanxian, gongs and drums, gongs and double bells and other musical instruments. Some breast-beating dances are only accompanied by big suona and big drums. When the movements and emotions are slow and long, beat the drums in a low voice, or even knock, to beat the rhythm. When the movements and emotions are warm, the drums are bombarded and the big suona is lively and passionate. It is simple and vigorous, showing the original consciousness and emotional feelings of people living and fighting between heaven and earth, and is unique.

Before liberation, all the dancers in Tonga were naked, wearing shorts, a straw rope around their waist and a grass ring. They appear in the form of group dance at the worship of God, and in the form of solo dance when they are in trouble. Because naked and rude, it was once a means for beggars to beg, so it was once alienated and fell into a low tide. By the 1950s, the number of dancers who could clap their chests was greatly reduced.

From 65438 to 0955, Tongan Cultural Business Department successively coached mass literary and art groups such as Golden Handle, Monkey King Star, Trade Union Club and Fire Brigade to rehearse chest dance. On the basis of tradition, it has improved and integrated movements, costumes and music, giving them a healthy, cheerful and powerful style and a brand-new look.

From 1983 to 199 1 year, city and county cultural and artistic cadres went deep into xinxu town again to explore, organize, train and rehearse breast dance, and incorporated it into the integration of Chinese folk dance. During the period of 1996, literary and art workers arranged a breast-beating dance with southern characteristics and a HongLing castanet with northern style, which injected new blood into this traditional dance by combining rigidity with softness, being bold and unrestrained, and being beautiful and delicate.

Now, every folk activity, citizens can enjoy the wonderful performance of Tongan breast-beating dance.
