The genres of Shehuo performance varies. The main kinds include Xinzi (standing on a wick), carrying desks, stilts, bamboo horses, a lion dance and the land boat.

Xinzi is one of the most popular genres. Little girls and boys in traditional costumes stand on the edge of a "sword," "flower", or "tree branch". Sometimes, adult performers would lift up the desks that carried the children, which makes the performance more thrilling.
