At that time, most women did not do farm work and paid special attention to sewing. So few women in rural areas can't accept soles and make cloth shoes. When girls are eleven or twelve years old, their mothers should teach them to cut shoes, embroider, close soles and make uppers hand in hand.

Feather tribute fan: Xichun, an ancient town, is located in the arms of the ancient city, Danyang and Shijiu. The lake is full of reeds and beaches, which is the best place for waterfowl to grow and breed. In ancient times, wild geese, cormorants, roe chickens and other waterfowl can be seen everywhere in the lake, covering the sky when flying and the ground when falling. The feathers of these waterfowl are colorful and gorgeous, which is the best raw material for making feather fans. As early as 1800 years ago, farmers along the Three Lakes used the winter leisure season to go deep into the lake beach to hunt. After catching waterfowl, they ate their own meat and plucked their hair and sold it on the street. At that time, Guzhen Old Street was a Gaofu area surrounded by three lakes, which naturally became a place to make and sell feather fans. From 1927 to 193 1, the production of Gaochun feather fans has entered a new development period, with an annual production and sales volume of more than 6,543,800+pieces. Products are sold to Hangzhou, Huzhou, Ningbo, Shaoxing, Xuanzhou, Anqing, Wuhu and Shanghai, and are represented by Shanghai Shixian Company and Yongan Company. 1937 After the Japanese invasion, Gaochun feather fan production was once in trouble. After liberation, with the support of the Party and the people's government, Gaochun feather fan manufacturing industry developed rapidly, and its production and sales volume soared from 400,000 pieces on the eve of liberation to 1 10,000 pieces, which sold well in 23 countries and regions such as the Soviet Union, Canada, Nanyang Islands and Oceania. 195 1 year, in order to express gratitude to the party and the people's government, Gaochun feather fan workers carefully selected the first-class carved feathers and made four large feather fans with sword-shaped teeth handles, which were presented to Chairman Mao and Commander-in-Chief Zhu, Rao Shushi, Chairman of East China Military and Political Commission, and Guan, Director of Southern Jiangsu Administrative Office. After Chairman Mao and Commander Zhu received the feather fan, they immediately entrusted the General Office of the Central Committee of the CPC to send 20 yuan a reward, expressing their gratitude.
Local culture
Five Cabin Dance: It is a classical folk dance evolved on the basis of ancient gods' visits. According to the examination, it began in the Western Zhou Dynasty. Gao Chunding kept this activity form. "Wu Cang" refers to the five gods of wood, fire, gold, water and earth, also known as the Five Emperors. Legend has it that these five gods are responsible for keeping one side safe. In the old days, there were often "Five Cabins" temples along the key roads, which enshrined the "Five Cabins" shrines with clay sculptures or wooden masks. The five gods are blue, red, yellow, white and black faces, all of which are majestic and ferocious, which makes people shudder. The ancients lacked scientific knowledge and were superstitious about man-made disasters. It is demons that inspire evil, and ghosts and gods create the "Five Cabins" idol on the crossroads, so monsters and ghosts dare not infringe and harm. There used to be such a couplet on the temple gate: five roads and five gods are here, and they don't pick up; Ten hands and ten eyes ran to get it. The implication is that good is rewarded, evil is rewarded, and good and evil are rewarded. Five Cabin Dance consists of five people wearing masks and robes of Cabin Gods, dressed as five Cabin Gods, mixed with land gods, city gods, monks, Taoist priests and soldiers. Armed with knives, swords, whips, hammers, forks and other instruments, Wu Cang-shen made a patrol appearance, worshiping the quartet, forming a square, stepping on broken steps, running through, stretching his arms and legs, leaning forward and leaning back, and running in circles in turn. The black face is in the middle, and the green, red, yellow and white gods reunite. The dance moves are rough and wild, with big gongs, drums and loudspeakers, and the atmosphere is extremely warm. This kind of activity is only held once every few years. Dingbu village is remote and rarely communicates with foreign art. It still retains its primitive and quaint style. 1956 participated in the dance performance in Jiangsu province, which was appreciated by experts and won the prize. Gao Chun's five dances were selected into "Integration of Chinese Folk Dances" and listed in the UNESCO catalogue.
Big lanterns: originated in the Tang Dynasty, prevailed in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and are still circulating in Dongba, Gucheng and other places in Gaochun. 199 1 year, Gaochun Dongba Damang became famous in Jinling Temple Fair and became the focus of praise from experts and citizens. 1993 participated in the "3rd China Shenyang International Yangko Festival" and won the highest prize-"Golden Rose Award"; 1At the end of 1993, he participated in the 4th Guangzhou Happy Festival and was well received. 1994 went to Beijing CCTV to perform. Received by the party and won the reputation of "a must in the south of the Yangtze River". The big lantern is taller than the prop horse of the ordinary lantern in shape, and it is a horse performed by two people. One person in front wears props as the horse's head, while the other person in the back bends down to grab the belt of the person in front and wears props as the horse's body, which makes the performance more difficult. In the practical stage, the requirements are strict. Dressing up as a horse must first be familiar with the temperament, dynamic and static features of a real horse. The second is hard training. When a horse walks, the one who plays the horse's head takes the left step, and the one who plays the horse's body must follow the right step. Only when the four legs of the two men cross each other, step by step and cooperate closely to achieve harmony and unity can the fake horse be played realistically. Dongba lanterns have been handed down from generation to generation and are well trained.
