Among them, the Guozhuang dance – performed by a group of people dancing in a circle and deeply connected to the daily life of Tibetans in Gannan Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture – serves as a vital carrier of local culture. A form of tug-of-war from Lintan County, with a history of over 600 years, originated as a military training exercise before evolving into a grand folk sport symbolizing unity, strength, and perseverance.
