The Use Of A Wooden Pole In Festivals And Traditions
Wooden poles have numerous uses in contemporary civilization despite the fact that they're created out of the age-old medium of wood. Wooden posts are still extensively used to assemble farm fences and to hold up electrical and phone cables, for example, and are popular in the design of thatched-roof houses and lapas. Furthermore, a wooden pole continues to be utilized in lots of nations around the world to comply with age-old practices in an assortment of festivals and traditions.
Just one ancient custom involving a wooden pole is the Maypole dance. In certain Western countries, inhabitants dance around a pole decorated with plants, garlands, etcetera. in order to observe a range of customs. Sometimes very long ribbons are affixed to the top of the pole which become intertwined in an interesting lattice design as the dancing progresses.
The German folk, on the other hand, do much more than simply boogie around their maypoles. In Germany, the maypole is climbed in a contest amongst the local people to determine who can ascend the highest. The pole is oiled to help to make it as slick as possible and the opponents use all kinds of unusual methods to reach the top. There's also a competition where an attempt is made to get as many people as doable ascending the maypole at the same time.
Something else the German people engage in the days before May Day is to make a pole out of a lofty pine or birch tree and paint it with specific hues depending on what part of Germany the pole is situated in. The aim is for people from the surrounding towns to try to steal the pole and only return it in exchange for copious amounts of beer and food. It is a bit of a tall order to take a pole because they're rather long and heavy but it has been proven to happen thus the maypole is constantly meticulously safeguarded in the days before the May Day festivities.
In rural Korea, people living in villages there still make use of carved wood poles that resemble the totem poles found in the Pacific Northwest region of the North American continent. The function of the Korean ‘guardian’ poles is to protect the village population from evil spirits and they typically possess a human visage with protruding eyes and nostrils topped with a hat. American totem poles, on the other hand, have got a different function. Traditionally, these carved wood statues tell of significant legends and events as well as the beliefs of the culture which created them. They have additionally been used as grave indicators and to document tribal lineages, or purely as artistic presentations.
Lumberjacks put in the majority of their working hours around timber so it's somewhat peculiar that they would wish to make a festival from this, yet they do. Lumberjack festivals typically include a host of pole-related activities like speed-climbing up wood posts and chain-sawing competitions where competitors try to use as few cuts as possible. Some chain-saw competitions even involve the use of no more than 2 cuts.
As you can see, the utilisation of wood posts for all sorts of pursuits hasn't become extinct, even in the current era of plastic and metal. Timber is a gorgeous medium that is as useful as it's beautiful hence there isn't much chance of it sliding into disuse any time soon.
