The Origin of Chaozhou Song and Dance

The origin of Chaozhou song and dance is as follows:

1 and Ying Ge, also known as Ying Ge, Yangko and Ying Ge, are widely spread in Chaoshan, especially in Chaoyang and Puning, and songs and dances are constantly innovating and developing in the process of spreading.

English songs are mainly held during the Spring Festival and Lantern Festival. In case of grand celebrations or other festive festivals, you must attend. English songs show the story of heroes in Liangshanpo who attacked Daming Mansion in disguise and rescued Lu Junyi. However, the expression technique is full of freehand brushwork, which neither describes the plot nor shows the characters, but more is to render the battle scene and warm atmosphere and shape the image of the hero group. Through the artistic treatment of figure modeling, costume props, body dynamics and sound rhythm, the rough and bold masculine beauty of men is reflected as a whole.

2. As for the time when songs and dances came into being, there is a saying in Chaoyang County Records that "Chaoyang songs began in the Ming Dynasty", but the description is unknown. Taking the heroic story of Liang Shanbo as the content, it is the same as the song and dance form we see today, which may start from the Ming Dynasty, but it may take a long time if we look at the folk dance characteristics and religious consciousness contained in the song and dance.

The ancient Chaoyang area (Chaoyang, Chaonan, Dahao, Puning, Huilai) was innovative, that is, it quoted the heroes of the Water Margin. The advantages of doing so are: first, to avoid being too unified and unrecognizable by insiders; Second, it is more ornamental, more hidden and looks interesting.
