Tengpai Exercises,the Chinese rattan shield exercises,is a lively and magnificent physical activity combining martial arts,gymnastics,drama and other elements of the local culture.It is originated in the Ming Dynasty,evolved from the mandarin duck formation created by the famous anti-Japanese general Qi Jiguang.Tengpai Exercises in Pingtan,a southeast island of Fujian,has evolved in two major lines of Daluding and Shanmenqian.They both seek survival and development through training local elites,improving inheritance teams,obtaining legal status,acquiring training venues and undertaking social event activities.Together,they have quite completely inherited the movements and formations,costumes and props,instruments and music of Tengpai Exercise.But weak academic research and loose development planning have prevented Tengpai Exercises of Pingtan from sustainable development.Pingtan Tengpai Exercise should enhance its social appeal through cultural acceptance and integration,strengthen its understanding and practice among the public,and boost the educational influence of traditional cultural inheritance in multiple dimensions.
