Yangge Dance

Yangge Dance

Yangge is a popular and representative folk dance genre in China (mainly in the northern region). There are different appellations and styles in different regions.

historical origin

origin

Yangko has a history of thousands of years in China. It reached its peak in Ming and Qing Dynasties. Wu Xilin in Qing Dynasty wrote "Yangge, Village Music of Lantern Festival in Southern Song Dynasty". The origin of "Yangge" is said by Chinese folk that in order to alleviate the hardship of farming work, such as transplanting and pulling rice seedlings, the ancient peasants sang songs and gradually formed Yangge. Another folk legend is that "Yangge" originated from the struggle against floods. In order to survive and fight against floods, the people along the banks of the ancient Yellow River, in the end, won the victory. They happily picked up the tools to fight floods as props, sang, jumped up and expressed their happy mood. With the increase of the number of participants, with dance movements and dance combinations, Yangko gradually formed. According to the third folk saying, according to the Annals of Yan'an Mansion, there are "Spring Riot Society, commonly known as Yangge", which can be seen in the pavilion that Yangge may originate from the activities of offering sacrifices to the Lord of Land on the Society Day.

Development

Dance forms with distinct national characteristics are widely spread in China. The Lantern Festival is mainly performed in the square on the 15th Lantern Festival of the first lunar month. This dance is closely related to agricultural labor. The footwork of labor, as the basis of dance footwork, is processed artistically, and makes the mass's team dance neat, forming a complete Yangko dance. Later, it gradually becomes a congratulative and entertaining New Year's Societies Fire Team Dance. The content of the performance is mostly Chinese folk tales, myths and legends. Yangko dance has been prevalent in the Qing Dynasty. Wu Xiqi, a scholar of the Qing Dynasty, thinks that the popular Chinese folk dance "Village Music" in the Song Dynasty is the predecessor of Yangko dance in his book "New Year's Chant Copy".

Huang Jun of Qing Dynasty said in "Broken Leaves of Red Mountain": "There is Yangko in Hongshandeng City. The Yangko's"Yangko"or"Yong"is called the song of women. According to the ancient Chinese character "Qushuai", it seems that there is no compromise." The saying that Yangko is a "song of women" is very noteworthy.

Liu Wenhai's Journey to the West in the Republic of China: "The women who tangle with the people in Xinjiang are really charming and charming, and the encounters are soul-stirring... There is a good deed, once made Yang Ge Ci. Yang Ge, that is to say, pestering the people's women. Also remember Xinjiang folk songs: "Turpan grape Hami melon, Kucheyang elder brother (entangled back to call women) a flower."

Four records of Xinjiang dialect in Qing Qi Yunshi's edition of "Essentials of the Western Frontier" Volume: "Hu Woman is Yuangge." Accordingly, it can be said with certainty that Brother Yong, Brother Yang, Brother Yanggao and Brother Yuangge all turn in one voice and are the appellations of women in the language of maintenance. Moreover, this woman, mainly refers to girls, at least young women. It's hard to imagine that middle-aged people will be called "a flower".

Xie Xiaozhong's travels to Xinjiang records "Qunzhao Brothers and Paulans", which is similar to the Yangko of the Han nationality in that they have both young boys and girls flirting by singing and dancing, and have simple plots of theatrical performances. Its main "roles" are played by brothers (girls). The name of "Yangge" of the Han nationality arises from it.

"Brother Hung" used to be the name of the role, and there is a saying of "Yangko role" in Northeast China. In addition, there was a law forbidding "Yangko foot, degenerate mother-in-law" to sing between Yongzheng and Qianlong in Qing Dynasty. Today, after collective dancing, the Yangko in eastern Hebei Province "is sung by folk singers (or Yangko horn concurrently).

Li Junya of the Republic of China, Huangzhong Lantern Festival Society Fire, recorded the performance of Lantern Festival Society Fire in southeastern Qinghai: the masquerade dance team included stilts sister, flower sister, flower bangler, Lao Yanggao (also writing "Lao Yangge"), false fire god, newspaper, flower drum, flower Buddhist sister, flower monk, mute, aunt and other roles. This is basically the same as the general Yangko performance, and the leader of the "Yanggao" (Yangge), that is, Kuqa "Yanggao", "Yongge", that is, the Han "Yangko foot" or "Yangko horn". Later, he called the whole dance team by the name of the leader.
