Northeast yangko is an artistic wealth created and accumulated by the working people in the north for a long time. It originated from the working life of transplanting rice seedlings and ploughing fields, and was related to the carols and barnacles sung in ancient times when worshipping the agricultural god for a bumper harvest and praying for disaster relief. In the process of development, it constantly absorbs the skills and forms of agricultural songs, yangko, folk martial arts, acrobatics and traditional operas, thus developing from ordinary yangko to a folk song and dance that the broad masses like to see today.

Northeast Yangko is humorous in form and unique in style. The vast black land endows it with primitive and unrestrained spirituality and amorous feelings, which combines pungent, humorous, quiet and steady, vividly showing the warm and simple, rigid and flexible personality characteristics of the people in Northeast China. Steady waves, waves, stalks, stalks, stepping on the board and twisting the waist are the biggest characteristics of Northeast Yangko. At the same time, a variety of "flowers in the hands", bright and elastic drums, heavy blows, pretty, quiet, steady and beautiful rhythms are all characteristics of Northeast Yangko.

Every major festival, people will spontaneously organize yangko performances and competitions. The costumes of the Yangko team are rich and colorful, mostly opera costumes.
