Ying Ge Dance origin:
Ying Ge Dance origin has three kinds of claims, one is "timely rain said", one is "rice-planting said", one kind is "Nuo dance said".
"Just in time to say" is in the late Ming and early Qing Shaoxing celebrity Zhang Dai's "Taoan Mengyi" book "just in time to say" section. This section describes the scene of seeking rain. According to Zhang Dai, it may be because Song Jiang, the elder brother of the heroes of the Water Margin, was nicknamed "timely rain".
The rice-planting dance is said to have been born out of the "big drums rice-planting song" of Shandong's Lubei province and the "willow-forest rice-planting song" of Lushi province. Because the pronunciation of Yingge and "Yangge" in Chaozhou dialect is relatively similar.
There is also a saying that the present Yingge is evolved from the ancient Nuo dance.
