Wooden drum dance is the earliest dance form in Miao drum dance, with wooden drum as accompaniment instrument. In Southeast Guizhou, the most unique wooden drum dance is located in the Fanpai Village, Taijiang County.
The Fanpai wooden drum dance is an important part of the local "Guzang Festival", describing the suffering course of the migration from north to south and from east to west after many wars of the Miao ancestors, and showing the tenacity of the Miao people in solidarity, mutual support, mutual love and never forgetting history. Its purpose is to sacrifice to the ancestors of all generations and pray for their ancestors to bless the prosperity of people and livestock, and the peace of villages.
