Liangbao, also known as Puzhou Umbrella Yangko, is a folk dance of the Han nationality. It originated from Puzhou (now Puzhou Town) in Yongji City. It is a self-expression behavior in the form of a marching ceremonial guard in the community fire sacrifice activities of Puzhou ancestors. Liang means to show, and Bao means valuables. The method of Liangbao is to stick the treasures (jewelry, gold, silver, jewelry, porcelain, etc.) on the upper end of bamboo strips, and then tie the bamboo strips on a high pole (bamboo pole), with paper tassels, hydrangeas, bells and other ornaments. The bamboo strips bend downward to form an umbrella rib shape due to the load, so the people also call it "gold and silver umbrella", "flower umbrella", "celadon umbrella (hanging celadon small tableware)", etc. According to the oral tradition of the artists, during the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the people of Puzhou would gather at Daqingguan for performances every festival. In the early days of liberation, Daqingguan was submerged by the Yellow River, and the umbrella yangko was only circulated in three communes: Shangdiantou, Hejiaxiang, and Lujia in the southwest community, Houpo and Dongyanguo in the southeast community, and Sujiatun and Beiyanguo in the northeast community. Every year from February 5th to 11th, the Sanshe Temple Fair (to worship Lü Dongbin) and from February 21st to 300,000, the Wangu Temple Fair are relatively concentrated periods of flower umbrella yangko performances. During the performance, one end of the umbrella handle must be against the belly, so the performer must stick out his belly and lean back. For safety reasons, the artists pass a long cloth belt through the neck, wrap it around the waist several times, leave a loose pocket in front of the belly, insert the umbrella handle, hold the umbrella handle tightly with both hands, squat in a horse stance, step on the gongs and drums of "three flashes", "passing by", and "splits", and move forward, backward, and turn in circles. The actors are all men, wearing children's husband hats, women's red clothes, and three-flowered faces on their faces, which are funny and humorous, giving people visual pleasure. Yongji Liangbao is a form of community performance that is popular among local people. It was originally a primitive folk belief activity, in which people showed their treasures to gods to please the gods and pray for blessings and ward off disasters. Later, as time went by, it gradually developed into a cultural and entertainment activity to celebrate the harvest and festivals. Because of its long history and primitive dance props, it has relatively important academic research value.
