What kind of folk song does Anhui Fengyang Flower Drum belong to? What is its creative background? What are the main demands?

Fengyang Flower Drum is a traditional folk performing art which integrates folk art and song and dance.

Creative background: In history, Zhu Yuanzhang founded the Ming Dynasty and moved the capital to Fengyang House. Due to the rapid population growth and famine in Fengyang County, these migrating Jiangnan giants hoped to return to Jiangnan, but Zhu Yuanzhang forbade them to leave Fengyang County, so they came up with a way to leave Fengyang County, that is, pretending to be artists and making a living by playing drums and singing.

Because in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, Fengyang House (now northern Anhui) was a perennial disaster area with "three years of bad water, three years of drought and three years of locust plague", and every autumn, groups of women went out to sing for survival.

At the same time, there are also professional artists who live in various places and sing. At the end of the Ming Dynasty, the spread continued to expand and the performance was unprecedented. In the late Qing Dynasty, Fengyang Flower Drum spread more widely, and some even crossed the ocean to Southeast Asia.

Fengyang Flower Drum is a kind of folk song and dance performance that shows people's happy harvest, celebrates festivals and reflects the happy life of working people.
