Taiping Yangge, meaning the wind and rain, the country and the people, so it got this name. During the Spring Festival, especially from the third to the fifteenth day of the Lunar New Year, it is popular among the people and has become a jubilant singing and entertainment activity. In Xining and other places, at dusk, the lights are bright, the gongs and drums are noisy, and the singers have gathered in the streets and alleys to perform and compete, attracting countless listeners to watch. 
The singers took turns on stage, either lyrical or passionate, or individual competition, or team competition. In the duet, one party sings "Six Out of Qishan", and the other party needs to respond with "Seven Captures of Meng Huo", requiring the lyrics to correspond and the tune to be harmonious. In addition to the lyrics of praying for peace, Taiping Yangge also contains a rich history and legends. The melody is derived from the Yue tune, such as "front fork", "yang tune", "back fork", etc., all of which are skillfully used. In the interval between large sections of singing, in order to add interest, some funny passages will be interspersed, such as "Don't Lie": I sing Yangge without lying, the cow's hoof nest builds a building, and the rabbit eats the wolf; You don't believe the truth I'm telling you, the flea is drilled in the cow. These jokes are often funny and make the audience laugh. 
Taiping Yangge not only brings joy and entertainment to people, but also inherits profound historical culture and folk wisdom. It uses a unique art form to tell people's wishes and pursuits for a better life. Search Topic Full Time Challenge in February
