Flower umbrella dance is a kind of Chinese folk dance. According to legend, the flower umbrella dance existed as early as the Tang and Song Dynasties, and was later adapted by the Central Song and Dance Troupe and the Provincial Song and Dance Troupe. Using the characteristics of ballet, it is transformed into a classic Chinese folk dance.

Brief introduction of flower umbrella dance:

Henan shopping mall is known as the hometown of singing and dancing, and singing and dancing are not only huge in number, but also artistic. Among them, the expression of flower umbrella dance in shopping malls represents the style of folk dance in Dabie Mountain.

According to legend, as early as the Tang and Song Dynasties, businessmen came back from Jiangsu and Zhejiang along the Huaihe River, brought back umbrellas from the south of the Yangtze River and showed them off. Folk umbrellas for the rich are very fashionable. In the early days, one umbrella evolved into two umbrellas and then into three umbrellas. So people put it into the dance.

There is also a saying that there is a family named Liu in the shopping mall. There is a mother and two daughters at home. After the elder sister became a monk, the second daughter lived alone with her mother. Every time my mother goes out for something, she always tells her two daughters to keep the boudoir strictly, which leads to them not going out for 18 years. This year's Spring Festival Evening, I heard that there were many lanterns at the temple fair. My second sister is bent on visiting the temple fair. Her mother was feudal and discouraged many times, but she still insisted on going. Helpless, her mother had to take her to the meeting herself.

The second sister is born beautiful, and she will be charming with a little modification. A mother loves her daughter and has a specially prepared umbrella, which can prevent sun exposure and rain changes. On the way to the temple fair, it attracted many people's favor. In order to avoid being peeped, the second sister covered it with an umbrella. I'm afraid there are many people rushing to the fair, but she can't hide it. Plus, she doesn't know the way of the world and makes a lot of jokes.

This leads to a two-part allegorical saying: "Sister Liu is holding an umbrella-rushing to the meeting." Later, according to this plot, the artists arranged a three-person song and dance "Liu Erjie Rushing to the Meeting".

After being adapted by the Central Song and Dance Troupe and the Provincial Song and Dance Troupe, the Flower Umbrella Dance was adapted into a China folk classic dance by taking advantage of the characteristics of ballet, and participated in the performance of the 7th World Youth Student Festival in Vienna on 1959, winning the silver prize.

Since 1950s, it has evolved into five umbrellas, six umbrellas and even more umbrellas. In particular, the flower umbrella dance phalanx organized by the first Xinyang Tea Festival reached 100 umbrellas. Opened in Zhengzhou East Building Materials World and Textile World, and organized a large-scale flower umbrella dance with 120 people.
