Fighting Dance in Shui Dance
Also known as the "Bullfighting Dance". According to legend, as early as the early Ming Dynasty, the ancestors of the Shui people saw the scene of the Miao people's "eating dirty" bullfighting to worship their ancestors, which was both lively and grand. Because the Shui people are poor and there are no buffaloes, they made a hat with bamboo sticks, cut the wood into buffalo horns and put them on both sides of the top of the hat to make a bull's head. They each took one, imitated the posture of cattle fighting, and danced a "fighting dance".

Doujiao dance is generally accompanied by five kinds of lusheng and five kinds of drums. Lusheng players dance while playing. Led by the smallest lusheng. The only prop of the dance is a "bull's head" made of bamboo strips, with a feather skirt in front and colorful silk at the back. Two dancers with "bull's head" props crouched and danced to the tune of Lusheng. Five "girls" disguised as men wore three white feather hats, a pheasant feather hat and bamboo strips on their heads, accompanied by a flower skirt with white feather around their waist. The dance moves greatly, showing the rough and unrestrained character of the Shui people. 1983 has been well received by foreign audiences in Central America.
