This paper specifically focuses on a specific type of long-term fieldwork that is closely linked to the inheritance cycle. This study employs a historical and longitudinal approach to investigate the history and two instances of revival that took place in 2016 and 2021 of the Bamboo Horse in Dongpu village, situated in the Hailufeng region of Guangdong province. The two revivals occurred for distinct purposes: one was to participate in the ceremony in 2016, while the other was for the Intangible Cultural Heritage project in 2021. This study identified and examined the pattern of inheritance and conducted a comparative analysis to identify the variations and similarities across different periods of replay. The significance of this paper lies in its extensive and ongoing fieldwork, which involves continuous observation and contemplation of a specific subject. Over time, this research sheds light on how our perception and comprehension of this particular type of drama evolve. Furthermore, the consistent performance and status of Bamboo Horse are closely intertwined with the intrinsic nature of this ritualistic form of drama, and the change of the function of the drama in different contexts.
