Northeast Thailand, also known as Yi Shan, is a plateau composed of red sandstone, which is extremely dry in summer and muddy in rainy season. The east and north face Laos across the Mekong River, which is the most complete place to preserve Thai traditional culture. "Sheng" is a famous folk dance in northeast Thailand, with 19 basic steps. "Sheng" originally means "jump", which is a general term for folk dance. Sheng dance shows rural life scenes such as farmers delivering rice in fields, fishing in ponds and picking wild vegetables. There are many kinds of sheng, such as dance, fish dance, bamboo basket dance and bamboo pole dance. Sheng dance is free in form, smooth and free in steps, lively in rhythm and funny in performance. The content of the performance is mostly the working life and folk customs of the working people in Northeast China. Sheng dance is dominated by lusheng and percussion instruments, and male and female dancers dance and sing with accompaniment. Lyrics are humorous, and their movements change with the rhythm of cymbals. At the end of the dance, the rhythm of the music accelerated, and the dance reached its climax in the passionate drums, and then came to an abrupt end. Sheng dance costumes are similar. Men usually wear blue collarless long-sleeved shirts with scarves on their heads, while women usually wear black or brown dresses with buns and white flowers on their heads.
