The Yingge Dance, or "dance to the hero's song," is a dynamic folk art form blending opera, dance, and acrobatic movements. Popular in south China's Guangdong Province, this centuries-old tradition dates back to the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644) and is often performed during traditional festivals. In recent years, it has gone viral online, captivating audiences with its powerful rhythms and vibrant choreography.

This Chinese New Year, a Yingge Dance team from Chaoyang, Shantou brought the electrifying performance to Shanghai, drawing crowds and igniting even more enthusiasm for this national intangible cultural heritage.
