A long oblate bamboo utensil for carrying items. The shoulder pole is made of wood or bamboo, whether it is miscellaneous wood collected from deep mountains and old forests or moso bamboo taken from canyons and streams. Its appearance is generally simple and natural: straight and straight, with no branches or vines, resembling a simple "one" character.
But there are also upturned poles with both ends turned up, resembling a "crescent moon". It is said that it is easier to pick things up with a tilted pole, but it requires certain skills to control it, otherwise it will be easy to flip over during use. In order to prevent flipping, some tilted poles are equipped with a short wooden board on one end, which is called the "horse" of the pole.
