Dancing Dangdang is a form of folk sacrificial dance, mainly distributed in Ailian, Aimin, Liangpeng, Baoxing Village, Dongping Town, Lishui County, and surrounding villages such as Guozhuang and Ge Village in Jurong County. It is also distributed in some villages in Jiangning, Liyang and other cities and counties. The area around Ailian Village and Aimin Village in Qunli is mostly inhabited by local indigenous people. Due to the low terrain and frequent floods, in order to pray for good weather and good harvest, local villagers often hold various worship and sacrificial activities in the first month of the year or during the slack season. It is said that as early as the Han Dynasty, "dancing Dangdang", a folk sacrificial dance activity with regional characteristics, emerged. Since the Ming and Qing Dynasties, it has been particularly prosperous. During festivals or temple fairs, surrounding villages must organize Dangdang teams to participate in temple fair sacrificial activities or parade performances. During the performance, the person holding the Dangdang is in the middle of the team, surrounded by drum teams, and outside the drum team there is a gong team. The sound of Dangdang is the command, and the Dangdang sounds once or twice, and the gong and drum team accompanies it with the corresponding gong and drum sounds. The Dangdang holders should respond to each other and perform various dazzling actions in the center of the venue, such as standing on one leg, called Golden Rooster Stand, or fighting each other, or moving, or dodging, called Pheasant Jump, or somersaulting in the field. The surrounding gong and drum teams also change the corresponding formations, such as Bagua formation, plum blossom formation, long snake formation, etc. The drum sounds are sometimes relaxed and sometimes urgent, and the gong sounds are sometimes high and sometimes low. Finally, the Dangdang holders hold up the "Dangdang", and with a crisp sound of "Dang", the gong and drum sounds of the whole venue stop abruptly. Yangjiabian Village is located in a remote area with a relatively closed environment. The villagers settled here, so they have preserved and preserved many customs and habits of their ancestors in production and life, especially the folk activity of "dancing Dangdang", which has a strong regionality. In 1958, the Jiangsu Provincial Song and Dance Troupe went to Lishui to collect local folk traditional dances, including the Qunli Dancing Dangdang and the Dongping Donkey Dance. In the 1980s, Dancing Dangdang, which was edited and adapted by the County Cultural Center, won the Nanjing Folk Dance Research Award, and the large-scale dance Harvest Dangdang participated in the Nanjing Mass Art Festival and won an award.
