What did yangko originate from? What's the point?

1. In order to alleviate the pain of facing the loess and facing the sky, ancient farmers began to sing songs and gradually formed yangko.

2. "Yangko" originated from the struggle against floods.

In order to survive, people along the ancient Yellow River struggled to fight floods. Finally, they won. Everyone happily picked up flood fighting tools as props, singing and dancing, expressing their happy mood. With the increase of participants, yangko gradually formed a dance movement and dance combination.

Second, the significance:

Inherited value

Yangko is one of the most representative folk dances in the north of China, which has both performance and entertainment, and is deeply loved by ordinary people. There are some representative folk yangko artists all over the country, and many folk artists have played an important role in the dance construction of New China.

With the rapid development of rural economy and the change of cultural environment, there are fewer and fewer folk artists who can master the traditional yangko skills and pure dance style, so the protection and inheritance work needs to be carried out urgently.
