The Northeast Rice-plant Song has a witty form and unique style, which expresses the warm and simple character traits of the Northeast people. The most important feature of the Northeast Yangge is that it is "steady in the wave, wave in the stem, stem in the warp, stepping on the board, twisting on the waist". At the same time, the many different kinds of "flowers in the hands", the fast-paced and elastic drum beats, and the funny, playful, quiet, steady and beautiful rhythms are all the characteristics of the Northeast Yangge.
The costumes of the Yangge team are rich in color and are mostly drama costumes. The characters can be judged from their attire, including the Tang Monk, the Monkey King, the Pig and the Sand Monk in Journey to the West, the White Snake, the White Lady, Xu Xian, and Bao Zheng, Chen Shimei, Qin Xianglian, etc., which are accompanied by gongs, drums, cymbals, and oboe tunes. Among the various dances, the stilt walker, dragon dance, lion dance and dry boat run are the most famous.
