The local traditional drama "Yigougou" in Linyi, Shandong Province is one of the national intangible cultural heritages. Yigougou is a kind of Han opera, which evolved from the drum yangko in Gaotang, Shandong Province. Founded in the early Qing Dynasty, it originated in Yucheng and Gaotang in Shandong Province and flourished in the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China.
