I spent this year’s Spring Festival at my grandma’s house in Henan. Although the Chinese New Year in the countryside is not as prosperous as in Beijing, it is still very lively.

As soon as I arrived at my grandma’s house, I was dragged by my cousin to watch the yangko dance. It turned out that there was a yangko team in the village, and my grandma and second grandma were both yangko players. In order to increase the joy of the festival, several performances are performed with gongs and drums every year.

After waiting for a long time, the performance finally started. The band was in front, including drummers and flute players... There was an old lady riding a donkey, played by an uncle. She looked very funny: she was short, with a slender black face covered with thick white powder, pink blush, red lips, and small His eyes were squinted as if he couldn't keep them open, his yellow wig was pulled into a small bun on the back of his head, he wore a red flower made of silk, a green top and red trousers, he was shaking his head and shaking his head with a small whip. Clear the way ahead.

Grandma and grandma were in the first row wearing Yangko dance clothes and big red flowers on their heads. They danced with fans and danced two steps forward and two steps back to the music. All the Yangko dancers were women, no. Like Latin dance, there are men and women. There are more than 40 people in the Yangko team. The team is so long that it looks like a dancing dragon! There were also several people dressed as dolls, Sun Wukong, Tang Monk, Zhu Bajie, Sha Monk, who were behind to suppress them...

There were so many people watching the Yangko performance. Almost everyone in the village came out. It was really eye-catching! Grandma and the others walked so far that they had to go through all four streets in the village.

After the performance, I hurried over to help my grandma get her things. I asked her if she was tired? Are you happy? , Grandma said: Not tired, very happy. It turns out that only by bringing joy to everyone can you be happier!

I went home happily with my grandma and sister.
