The song and dance originated in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, when Puning, close to Fujian, where the Tiandihui Society originated, had Tiandihui Society members arrive in Puning and secretly organize to fight against the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty. In order not to be discovered by the Qing authorities, this form of theater was used to cover it up, so the Ying Song and Dance was actually a military exercise. Military scientists found many traces of military tactics in the Ying Song and Dance, and many martial arts routines from the movements.

Later, the Qing Dynasty died, and the fight against the Qing Dynasty lost its significance, and the Ying Song and Dance evolved into a cultural practice, which was listed as a national intangible cultural heritage a few years ago.

As the saying goes, one side of the soil and water nurtures one side of the people. The soil and water of different places nurture different cultures. The Chaoshan area belonged to the southern barbarians 2,000 years ago, and even in the Tang Dynasty, it was still a barbaric area. Back then, when officials were relegated to the south, they were relegated to the south, for example, Han Yu, one of the eight great masters of the Tang and Song dynasties, had been relegated to Chaozhou.

Because of geography, the people of the Chaoshan people's folk culture is more pugnacious, like to be brave, but at the same time also formed a good spirit of pioneering and enterprising, in the modern era, the Chaozhou businessmen broke out of the heck of the prestige.

The Chaoshan people have a characteristic of being very united. Because the Chaoshan region focuses on cultural heritage, many cultural traditions have been passed down from ancient times to the present day, forming a cultural centripetal force that unites the Chaoshan people.

While watching the English song and dance, it is also an opportunity to expand the social circle, because everyone has the **** same topic. Chaoshan people who have left their hometowns can quickly get acquainted by talking about the culture of their hometowns, and then brewing a pot of kung fu tea and chatting over it, without realizing it, they become good friends.
