The Shouyang bamboo horse show, which originated in Guojiagou village in Shouyang county of Shanxi province, has a history of around 700 years and is popular in the county.
The performance mainly consists of actors wearing face makeup and stage costumes using horse-shaped props, stilts and acrobatic fight action.
