Ma Shehuo begins to perform three days after each year. Ma Shehuo is a social fire performance with horses, mules and donkeys as riders. The performers are all male villagers. Dressed in costume dramas, holding various props, they played the dramatic roles of traditional historical dramas, rode mules, horses and donkeys, dressed in red, and were cleared by the drums and colorful flags team. First, they walked slowly around the village, and then they performed in circles in various wheat mills. This is also the time for movie fans to comment on whether Facebook's paintings are in place and whether costumes and props are defective. Ma Shehuo passed by someone's door, and the owner set off firecrackers and burned paper money to meet him. At the end of the whole performance, gongs and drums were loud, firecrackers were ringing, people cheered for horses, and it was very lively. Ma Shehuo also pays attention to the performances of neighboring villages. Sometimes I go to one village, sometimes I go to several villages. The village is full of gongs and drums, firecrackers are ringing, and tea and wine are feasted, forming a lively scene of one village playing social fire, one village picking up and dropping off, and villages watching social fire along the way.
Ma Shehuo's performances are all dressed up with ancient traditional stories and dramas, such as Yellow River Array, Back to Jingzhou, Meet the Flower Pavilion and so on. Play social fire for a few days, renovate every day and change tracks. But the only thing that remains the same every day is the two immortals who explore the horse and lead the way. The hero of Detective Horse painted a clown's face, turned over a sheepskin coat and wore a felt hat, which looked like a spy who had been sleeping for a long time, climbing mountains and wading. The two immortals are two pioneer officials in myths and legends, one is Marshal Wang Lingguan with red face and the other is Marshal Zhao Lingguan with black face. They not only exorcise evil, punish evil and promote good, but also specialize in the injustice of heaven and earth. On the last day of the social fire, there was another Jiang Ziya, holding the apricot yellow flag, flogging the gods and sealing the list of gods on his shoulders. The immortals were all afraid. Social fires usually start in three days and end around the Lantern Festival. The custom of Ma Shehuo embodies the Qin people? Good horse and good animal? The wind also embodies the wind that Qin people advocate historical heroism, are not afraid of violence, turn adversity into luck and go forward bravely.
