During spring and summer calendar rites, round dances (tanks) were driven. Many of them have survived to this day. Such round dance songs as "and we sowed", in the villages, they opened spring festivities annually. Having lost their original significance of the economic and magical solemn rite, they turned into a fun song.

Arab writer of the first half of the X century. Ibn Dasta in its "Book of precious treasures" describes the life of the Slavs and the ritual associated with the sowing of the millet: "At the very beginning of the border of the Slavs is a city named Kuyab (Kyiv) ... They are all idolaters. Most of all they sow millet. During sowing. They take the sifted grains in the bucket, raise them to the sky and say: "Lord, you, who supplied us with food (still), provide us with it in abundance ..." "14. This rite, apparently, was accompanied by singing. The ancient round dance song "We sowed", obviously, was included in this ritual. She sang two half -horsemen in two phrases each.
