[人与社会·传统文化]The Yangko Dance(秧歌) is a traditional Chinese folk dance. And it was created by the farmers when they worked in the field hundreds of years ago. Many people like the dance and take it as an important way of relaxing, no matter when there is a Spring Festival or when there are some special celebrations. However, some people think the dance is too noisy.
Before the Yangko Dance starts, the music is performed to build an atmosphere(气氛) for the dancers. As the dance’s parts are derived from special folk legends(传说), men and women performing the dance are dressed in colourful costumes and necessary tools are used.
During the dance, the dancers are shaking their bodies and walking at a special step to express old stories to people in a new style. The dance also shows their happy mood and life.
While the dancers are dancing on the ground, there is usually a big crowd around them, enjoying and sharing the feelings of the dancers there.
