What is the favorite sport of Zhuang people?

1, hit a stick. Playing sticks is a popular youth sports activity in Zhuang area, which is called "Dele ruler" in Zhuang language. The equipment is two short sticks, five inches short and about one foot five inches long. There is no limit to the number of participants, mainly teenagers, and they can participate in groups or individuals. First, choose a slightly flat rectangular field, dig a rectangular geosyncline about three inches deep in the middle of one end, and the end facing forward is inclined. When playing, put the short stick on the slope, at least half off the ground, and hit it with the long stick. The short stick will bounce more than one meter high, and then hit it as far as possible with the long stick. Other people (or another group of people) who participated in beating the stick waited in front, and the short stick flew in and jumped up to catch it. Whoever receives the short stick has the right to go back and hit the stick. If no one answers, after the short stick lands, you can measure the distance with a long stick (from the front end of the geosyncline to the place where the short stick lands), and the party with the far distance wins. Another method is to measure the distance immediately without connecting the stick, and then put the short stick through the geosyncline and pick it forward with the long stick. If someone misses in front, he can hit a stick. If he catches it, he loses the chance to hit the stick. Join the team that receives the stick, and the person who receives the stick will hit the stick. Whoever catches more will have more chances to hit the stick and have the hope of winning.
