What are some interesting stories (short stories) about yangko?

1. On the land of Kanto, the most popular folk song and dance is the northeast yangko. According to historical records, as early as the Kangxi period, there was a custom of holding Yangko on January 15th in the northeast. Men and women dressed as soldiers sang and danced all night. By the end of the Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China, yangko dancing had become a Spring Festival entertainment activity in all parts of Northeast China. In the past, Chinese New Year in rural areas was for "celebrating" and saving face. If any village doesn't come to the Yangko team to pay New Year's greetings, people in the village will feel unhappy. Therefore, if there is no yangko in the village, each family will divide the money according to the rich and the poor, and send people to other villages to "pick up yangko" to add a festive atmosphere to the village for the New Year.
