A troupe¹ of 10,780 tribal² villagers in India's northeast set a record Friday for the largest dance ensemble³ in the world with a carefully choreographed⁴ routine to welcome in the summer.

印度东北部某部落上周五创造了一项新的集体竹竿舞世界纪录，10780名村民随着精心设计的舞蹈动作起舞，欢庆夏季的到来。

Mizo tribal youths take part in a mass "Cheraw", a traditional bamboo dance in Aizawl, the capital of India's northeastern Mizoram state.

The dancers spread out over three kilometres (around two miles) to perform an eight-minute jig⁵（吉格舞） with bamboo sticks, setting a record at the expense of the previous holders⁶ -- a 7,700-strong group in Cebu, in the Philippines.

"A new Guinness world record was created with 10,780 dancers performing the bamboo dance for eight minutes in perfect rhythm（节奏，韵律） ," a representative of the Guinness Book of World Records, Lucia Sinigagliesi, said after the event.

Sinigagliesi handed over a certificate to the arts and culture minister of the state of Mizoram, in India's far east, which borders Myanmar, where the dance took place to the sound of bamboo sticks being knocked together.

"We are delighted to create history," the minister, P.C. Zoramsangliana, told reporters in the capital, Aizawl, where the troupe in traditional tribal dress assembled at a military ground.

The bamboo dance, locally known as the Cheraw dance, is the harbinger（先驱，前兆） of the Chapchar Kut festival of the Mizos tribal group, which marks the end of winter and advent⁷（到来，出现） of summer.
