The relevant videos became popular on many network platforms, and the local people and tourists from all directions applauded. Some people even traveled thousands of miles to feel the wonderful English songs on the spot. After the Lantern Festival, which has a long history and integrates dance, martial arts and opera, the Yingge dance teams in Chaoshan, Guangdong Province have closed in succession and set off again when the folk festivals and grand gatherings are held. At Wenli Yingge Team in Anbu Town, Chao'an District, Chaozhou City, Guangdong Province, Yang Yingfeng, the inheritor of intangible cultural heritage, is carefully counting clothes, props, musical instruments and other items. Recently, he plans to resume group rehearsals on Friday and Saturday nights. In Anbu Town, there are hundreds of Yingge players who rehearse every night. Even if the actors do not wear makeup, their rough and changeable steps and flexible mallets can also cause applause and applause from the crowd. "Yingge dance is a folk square dance that integrates dance, martial arts and opera, and is based on the story in the Outlaws of the Marsh." Yang Yingfeng said that Yingge has been regarded as a symbol of good luck and peace in Chaoshan folk for hundreds of years. As an important part of traditional culture, English songs have a deep mass base and social influence in Chaoshan area. Every Spring Festival, Lantern Festival and other festivals, English songs are performed in various places, which has become a unique folk custom in Chaoshan area. In 2006, Yingge was listed in the first batch of national intangible cultural heritage representative projects. Liu Jianwen, vice president of the Music School of Hanshan Normal University, said that the popularity of Yingge was inseparable from its heroic spirit. As a group dance with unique characteristics, Yingge dance has bold and unrestrained movements and full performance momentum. Yang Yingfeng believes that Chaoshan Yingge and the northern "Big Drum Yangge" come down in one continuous line. The ancestors of Chaoshan residents live in the remote northern land. They bring the northern Yangge to Chaoshan, and integrate dance, martial arts, novel stories, and opera performances into it, thus becoming a unique "folk street dance". Some scholars also believe that this is the continuation of ancient Nuo culture and gradually evolved into a dance category with local characteristics. Most researchers tend to think that English songs have no single origin, and these origins may be part of their changes and development in the long history. No matter where it originated, no matter how many legends there are, today's English songs are cultural treasures left by our ancestors for hundreds of years, and at present
