Haiyang is rich in historical and cultural background, and it is a county where farming culture and marine culture are intertwined. The special geographical location and cultural landscape provide fertile soil for the emergence, continuation and development of Haiyang Yangko. According to Zhao Jiapu's records, as early as A.D. 1425, there were yangko activities in Haiyang today.
Haiyang Yangko is famous for its warm and cheerful, rough and unrestrained, simple, frank and humorous performance style. Its performances are rich in content, and the outstanding features of dance movements are the combination of running and twisting. The dancers twist in running, and the women twist their waist and arms in the previous step, shaking their shoulders and being lively and generous. The man shakes his head, swings his arm and changes his shoulders, which is lively and funny.
Haiyang Yangko Team has a rigorous structure, and the team is mainly composed of three parts. The deacon part ranks first when traveling, and consists of three-eye guns, colorful flags, incense trays (held by the person in charge of the meeting or the person in charge of the deputy meeting) and big gongs. Followed by the band, composed of drums, gongs, cymbals, cymbals and hall gongs. Followed by the dance team, generally dressed as dozens of people in various roles, which is divided into conductor-Dr. Le; Collective performers-flower drum, small mandrel, overlord whip; Two-faced performers-hawker and, Hooper and Aunt Wang, ugly girl and silly boy, old man and his wife, xianggong and daughter-in-law. At the end of the list are yangko characters or opera jugglers. Each has its own way of doing things, and each has its own lyrics, which is amazing. The common formations of Yangko Team are "Two Dragons Spitting Whiskers", "Bagua Dou", "Dragon Flipping Tails", "Long Panwei", "Two Dragons Twisting Columns", "Three Fish Fighting for the Head" and "Stars Holding the Moon". The common people summed up its six characteristics: first, the dance team is huge and the songs and dances are funny. Second, the structure is rigorous and the etiquette is profound. Third, dancing is pure dancing, and singing is funny. Fourth, improvisation, diversity and unity. Fifth, the array is changeable and ingenious. Sixth, drum music is pure and moderate.
According to these characteristics, Haiyang Yangko has formed a folk dance art with extremely rich forms and contents. It is the essence of China folk art and a rich "big dish" for people to celebrate the New Year. Tang shourui
