Why do you want to dance yangko during the Spring Festival?

The reasons for dancing Yangko in the New Year are as follows:

Yangko is called walking on stilts in the countryside. Speaking of stilts, it originated from ancient human labor and ancient sacrifices when people prayed for a bumper harvest in the farmland and prayed for a bumper harvest from God. Later it evolved into a folk entertainment project. Yangko has incorporated a large number of historical figures, stories, operas and dances, folklore and so on.

Yangko is a must for all counties and districts in Chaoyang, China. Whether it's windy, rainy or snowy, it's a lively New Year greeting atmosphere. Yangge is a traditional folk song and dance of Han nationality. It can be seen everywhere in China where there are Han people, and it is also a popular way in western Liaoning in the northeast. Yangko, a popular entertainment project in Northeast China, is the spiritual food for people in their spare time.

Introduction:

Yangko is a representative folk dance popular in China (mainly in the north), and its appellation and style are different in different regions. In the folk, there are two names for yangko: those who walk on stilts are called "Yangko on stilts" and those who don't walk on stilts are called "Tuyangko".

The so-called "yangko" in modern times refers to "local yangko". Yangge has a long history. In the Southern Song Dynasty, there was a record of "Village Dengaku" in the folk dance team carefully introduced by The Legend of Wulin. Wu Xilin's New Year's Miscellaneous Chants in Qing Dynasty clearly recorded the original relationship between the existing yangko and the "Dengaku" in Song Dynasty. On May 20th, 2006, Yangko was approved by the State Council to be included in the first batch of national intangible cultural heritage list.
