What are the folk customs in Anshan?

The unique folk custom Haicheng stilt yangko belongs to drum stilt, a branch of southern Liaoning stilt and a popular folk dance. After more than 300 years of continuous evolution, it has formed a folk art integrating dance, acrobatics, music and drama. Haicheng county records: "In the 12th year of Qing Emperor Kangxi (1673), there were stilts and dry boats dancing along the street in Sanyi Temple in Niuzhuang Ancient Town". At the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, the maritime trade in Northeast China was mainly concentrated in the offshore of southern Liaoning, and then Niuzhuang, an ancient town in Haicheng, became the distribution center of materials inside and outside Shanhaiguan and the earliest water commercial port in Liaodong. With the influx of "going east" immigrants and the economic and trade development in southern Liaoning, the arts of the north and the south have also been widely exchanged in Haicheng. At that time, the stilt performance at the Yangko Festival was limited to playing with knives and sticks on stilts, which artists called "Wushu stilts". With the passage of time, Haicheng folk artists constantly explored and improved the artistic forms and techniques of traditional stilts, moved China traditional folk dramas to stilts, and gradually formed the unique performance style of Haicheng stilts, that is, fiery, cheerful, provocative and rough. Every year on the second day of the first lunar month, dancing yangko and walking on stilts become one of the folk customs of Haicheng people. Yangko is a local art that inherited the traditional characteristics of Northeast Yangko since the Tang Dynasty and formed in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. At first, it was a means of livelihood for a few folk idle artists to perform in the street, and later it gradually became an entertainment activity during festivals or temple fairs.

When the bride is about to enter the house after paying homage to heaven and earth, two so-called "general practitioners" or beautiful little girls or daughters-in-law who have lived for generations hand over two flagons on the left and right, which are called "baby pots". When the bride receives them, she must put them on the windowsill of the new house and take them back to her family after marriage. Married for three days, can't stay at home.
