Local characteristics:

The drum team consists of dozens of peasant amateur drummers in Dongyang Village, Nanniu Township, Zhengding County, Shijiazhuang City. Zhengding is the seat of Changshan County in history, hence its name. When it comes to Changshan Drum, people will think of the famous Changshan Zhao Zilong in the Three Kingdoms period.

Jingxing Lahua:

Northern Yangko is one of the three outstanding folk dances in Hebei Province, which originated from street square flowers in folk festivals, temple fairs and other occasions.

Jingxing Lahua takes "shaking shoulders", "turning wrists" and "twisting arms" as the main dance vocabulary, forming a unique artistic style of combining rigidity with softness, rough and implicit. It is characterized by vigorous dancing, generous stretching, free flexion and extension, rapid ups and downs, and good at expressing tragic, sentimental and love scenes. The number of traditional flower-pulling artists in Jingxing is six or twelve, which means "six people in one spring". The props held by actors have their own symbolic meanings: for example, an umbrella symbolizes good weather; Taipingban and Bawangbian symbolize the peace of the four seasons; The vase symbolizes peace and happiness. Although Jingxing Lahua, which we see now, has been greatly improved, it is all developed on this basis. Jingxing Lahua's music not only has the charm of Hebei blowing songs, but also has the color of temple music. Rigid and unyielding, it complements the deep and vigorous style of flower-pulling dance.
