Jilin Local Characteristic Yangko Northeastern Yangko Yangko is a folk art form widely spread among the Han people in my country and has a long history.

At present, Yangko, which is popular in Jilin, is a folk art that combines dance, singing and drama, with dance as the mainstay.

In terms of performance forms, it can be divided into various forms such as floor Yangko, stilt Yangko, Cunzi Yangko, as well as lifting poles, back poles, and prong poles.

Usually, folk dances such as dragon lantern dancing, lion dancing, land boat racing, cart pushing, and whip beating are also combined.

Ground Yangge is the most popular and flexible among several types of Yangge.

There are several theories about the origin of Jilin Yangko.

Among them, the most widely spread is that after Kublai Khan of the Yuan Dynasty proclaimed himself emperor and established the Yuan Empire, he organized the people into a team for every fifty households and sent one Yuan soldier to guard them.

During the Spring Festival and Lantern Festival, in order to prevent the people from gathering to rebel, Yuan Bing gathered men from each household and led the team in singing and dancing.

Later, this activity was passed down as a performance form and evolved into today's Yangko.

The basis for this statement is that there is a character "Lao Ta" (referring to Yuan Bing) in Jilin's traditional Yangko, and he is the leader and conductor of the Yangko team.
