There are many opinions about the origin of yangko, one of which thinks that yangko originated from the songs sung by ancient farmers in the process of transplanting and pulling out seedlings. In order to alleviate the pain of labor, ancient farmers sang and danced in farming activities such as transplanting and pulling out seedlings, forming the embryonic form of yangko.

Another way of saying it is that yangko originated from the struggle against floods. In order to survive, the people on both sides of the ancient Yellow River struggled to fight floods and finally won. In order to express their happy mood, people picked up flood-fighting tools as props and sang and danced to form yangko.

There is also a saying that Yangko originated from the activities of offering sacrifices to the land gods on social days. In ancient times, on social days, people would get together, beating gongs and drums, dancing lions, dragons and stilts, etc. to pray for a bumper harvest and peace. With the passage of time, people gradually integrated dance, music, drama and other elements into it, forming a modern yangko.

With the passage of time, Yangko gradually developed into a folk dance form with unique style and artistic charm, and became one of the important cultural symbols in northern China.
