鲁沙尔高跷再展风采

### English Translation Title: Rushaer Stilt Performers Shine Again

News Summary: With the Spring Festival approaching, the community‑fire team in Rushaer Town, Huangzhong District of Xining, Qinghai, has been rehearsing intensively. Stilt walkers step on wooden stilts, changing formations to the beat of strong drums. Rushaer’s stilts have a long history; some reach more than three meters high and are the highlight of local festivities. They are also a provincial intangible cultural heritage, and Rushaer has been called “the hometown of Chinese folk cultural art (stilts).”

This year the troupe has drawn more than seventy members. Veteran artists pass their skills on through hands‑on teaching, while young people and children join, adding fresh energy. The group is also reviving folk tunes, weaving Qinghai’s traditional melodies into the stilt performance. Through the songs and melodies they tell stories of changes in their hometown and of the people’s hope for a better life.

Thoughts and Inspiration: The survival of folk customs does not happen in a single day; it comes from everyday practice, mutual help, learning together, and patient stewardship. Seeing villagers bring their craft, songs, and laughter back into daily life reminds us that guarding tradition is both a respect for the past and a sowing for the future.

Putting our hearts into the work before us, supporting one another, and carefully honing our skills often preserve and brighten culture more than grand words. The Scriptures remind us to find comfort and mutual aid in our labor, and that such warmth can become the strength that carries tradition forward.

Scripture: “Come to me, all who labor and are burdened, and I will give you rest.” Matthew 11:28
