With the Yingge dance, you have no idea how lively the New Year is in Puning

▫️In Puning, I finally got what I wished for, and saw the Yingge dance that I had been longing for, the national intangible cultural heritage list that has become popular, and this time it is really in front of me. ▫️Two teams from Nigou and Guangnan Yingge team performed a fierce PK in Guolong Village. ▫️The so-called Yingge dance is a kind of folk square dance that combines local arts such as southern martial arts and drama. It is also known as the "Chinese War Dance" and has been passed down for more than 400 years. 🎭Before the Yingge dance started, a group of young people painted with drama masks, like wearing masks, all of whom were heroes and heroes in the "Water Margin". Accompanied by the loud drum sound, the Yingge dance actors followed the rhythm with a unique step, shaking their bodies, swinging the double hammers in their hands, and making a sound, accompanied by occasional roars, which is like a local style and a martial dance. Very ornamental. ✔️In the Chaoshan area, Yingge dance is divided into slow, medium, and fast forms, which can be understood literally, related to the rhythm problem. And the Yingge dance in Nigou Village belongs to the middle board. 🔸Every Lunar New Year and folk festivals, the Chaoshan area "jumping Yingge" will usher in a peak. Especially before the Spring Festival, the Yingge dance is rehearsing even all night long, just to amaze all the villagers in the New Year's performance. 👦Locals jokingly say that in the Chaoshan area, if you ask a young man to get up at seven o'clock to go to work, he will definitely not do it. But if he is called to practice Yingge dance at five o'clock, he will come at three o'clock. This shows the love of Chaoshan people for Yingge~ 🧧With the blessing of Yingge dance, the Chaoshan New Year is more lively than other places. The scene can be described as a crowd of people, and it is impenetrable. In the days when the New Year's flavor is fading, there is such a lively Yingge dance performance, and the New Year adds more atmosphere~
