When the prelude to the classic song "Red Sun on the Frontier" sounded, 27 year old Yin Rongxun faced the audience with a brilliant smile and immediately shook his elephant hat - a few meters long ribbon on the hat rotating like the wind, resembling a dancing "rainbow". Yin Rongxun controlled his limbs to the beat and created a cheerful stage atmosphere together with other actors. In Wangqing County, Yanbian Korean Autonomous Prefecture, Jilin Province, Yin Rongxun is one of the "Generation Z" who inherited the torch of Koreans in China Nong Le Dance. In 2009, Koreans Nong Le Dance was included in the UNESCO Representative List of Intangible cultural heritage of Humanity, making it the only dance project in China. Young actors are performing the Koreans in China folk dance - elephant hat dance. The elephant hat dance loved by Jin Yan and Yin Rongxun is a typical dance form of Koreans Nong Le Dance. "This is an art that can represent our border areas, and shows the good quality of our nation, which is good at singing and dancing, industrious and hospitable. From children aged three or four to elderly people over the ages, people will spontaneously jump up during traditional festivals, festive activities, and family reunions. Although young, Yin Rongxun has been systematically exposed to Koreans Nong Le Dance (elephant hat dance) for more than 10 years, and now he has become a county level inheritor of intangible cultural heritage. In his studio, many young people come together to study. "Young people's hobbies are quite diverse. We adapt these elements into this traditional art, such as national style, rap and hip-hop." Yin Rongxun said that inheritance through innovation makes Koreans folk dance (like hat dance) have a strong appeal. Every year, Yanbian Prefecture holds hundreds of various literary and artistic performances, where young people either "implant" hat elements into popular culture or integrate popular culture into traditional programs to compete on stage. The scene of Koreans in China folk dance performance. The "kindling" inherited by Yin Rongxun, photographed by Jin Yan, comes from the old man Jin Mingchun, who is the representative inheritor of Koreans in China Nong Le Dance (Elephant Hat Dance), a national Intangible cultural heritage. Although he is 64 years old, he is still active on the stage. Jin Mingchun set a Guinness World Record by swinging a 32 meter double layered ribbon and jumping 44 times in 30 seconds. My task is to put this art into the hands of young people. "When Jin Mingchun is in high spirits, he will run onto the stage to participate in young people's performances. He introduced that the Koreans in China Nong Le Dance is a combination of performance, singing and dancing. Dancing with the rhythm of suona, dongxiao and gongs and drums is "a very big category." Some young people are very dedicated to this skill. Tai Yongchun is a successor of the post-90s generation. In addition to teaching the Koreans Nong Le Dance (like hat dance), he also teaches the Generation Z people long drums, masks, clanks, etc. "Behind these elements is the farming history of the Koreans nationality, which is also part of the Chinese civilization." Young people who recently came to the studio to study are "preparing" for the Yanbian art festival from August to October. The reporter learned during local interviews that the official protection and promotion role is crucial.
