What are the intangible cultural heritages in Hebei?

The top ten intangible cultural heritages in Hebei are: Hebei Bangzi, Jingxing Lahua, Wuqiao Acrobatics, Wuqiang New Year Pictures, Tangshan Pingju, Hengshui Inner Painting, Cangzhou Wushu, Yuxian Paper-cutting, Yishui inkstone making skills and Yang Tai Collection.

Hebei Bangzi is the main local opera in Hebei Province, which evolved from Shanshan Bangzi, which was introduced to Hebei Province, and was formed in the Qing Dynasty. In the process of its development, it has had an important impact on the development of Peking Opera and the formation of Pingju, which can be described as "being born in the land of Zhao Yan and benefiting the pear garden". In 2006, Hebei Bangzi was selected as the first national intangible cultural heritage list.

Jingxing Lahua was produced and spread in Jingxing County, Shijiazhuang. Judging from legends, costumes and props, it may have started in Song and Jin Dynasties, developed in Yuan and Ming Dynasties and prevailed in the late Qing Dynasty. There are many legends about "pulling flowers": one is that it is a dance formed in the process of transporting peony flowers, so it is called "pulling flowers"; On the other hand, pulling flowers is a dance formed in escaping from famine, and "pulling flowers" is the homonym of "pulling famine"; Others think that the female role in the flower-pulling dance is called "flower-pulling", named flower-pulling and so on.

The Collection of Biography of Yang Tai was created by Yang Luchan during the light years of Qing Dynasty, and originated from the ancient city of Guangfu in Yongnian County. Since then, more than 30 boxing champions, including Yang Banhou and Yang Zhenming, have appeared in Yongnian County, and they are honored as "Tai Chi Holy Land". In 2006, Yang Tai biographies were selected into the first batch of national intangible cultural heritage lists.
