Chopsticks Dance is a popular folk dance of Mongolian. It was originally a single man's dance at marriage or festival ceremonies, under the accompaniment of a stringed instrument and people's singing.

The dancer holds a bunch of chopsticks in his right hand and beats his palm, shoulder, waist and legs. Meanwhile, he shrugs his shoulder and turns round his wrist. The beating rhythm is clear and the morale high.

Today, people tie the chopsticks together with a small rope and decorate it with red silks, thus making it an exquisite stage prop. Performers can hold the chopsticks in one or two hands. The "Chopsticks Dance", therefore, is spread widely and presented on the stage.
