             Shehuo,Yangge, a kind of folk dance, is a special  form of expressing and yearning for happiness popular in rural area, especially  on spring festival. Nearly every village in Datong County has their Yangge  troupe. The director of the troupe is responsible for selecting dancers,  rehearsal and coordination. After the 4th day of the first month of  lunar year, the troupes begin the circuit performance. The 16th day  of the first month of lunar year is the last day of Yangge performance, because  the new farming time is coming. The performance of that day is the grandest and  most colorful one, full of positive and hopeful attitude.  |
