China’s Guangdong Province is a place which blends the cultures of central China and those of the peripheral and coastal areas. The region takes its name from the its two main cities of Chaozhou and Shantou. The unique geography and history have bestowed the place with a culture that is not only distinct from its neighbors in Guangdong and the rest of China but also gives a profound influence on some areas in Southeast Asia. This region has its own language, called Teochew or Chiuchow. Teochew is not mutually intelligible with Mandarin or Cantonese, but is partially mutually intelligible with Minnan, spoken across the border in South Fujian. The accent and pronunciation varies slightly between the three main Teochew-speaking cities of Chaozhou, Shantou and Jieyang, but if you are fluent in Teochew, this should not pose too much of a challenge. The prestige dialect of Teochew is the dialect spoken in Chaozhou, though the Shantou dialect has the most speakers. -------------------⭐⭐ Shantou City -------------------⭐⭐ Shantou is situated in the southeastern corner of East Asia, on the west coast of the Pacific Ocean. Boarding on the South Sea, the city is one of the most important open-to-the-world harbors both in the Guangdong Province and in China. As one of the seven special economic zones of China, it uses its convenient geographic location to its advantage and has accepted many foreign investments. It currently has economic relations with 165 countries. Over 50 multinational corporations and 11 of the world's top 500 enterprises have investments in the city, giving the city the seventh best rate of commerce among all cities in China. -------------------⭐⭐ Yingge Dance | Chinese Traditional Warrior Dance | Chinese Battle Dance -------------------⭐⭐ The Yingge dance is a traditional Chinese warrior dance that combines opera, martial arts, and dance. It originated in the Chaoshan region of Guangdong Province over 300 years ago. The dance is performed during festive seasons to celebrate victory over evil. In the Chaoshan region of south China's Guangdong Province, an age-old form of warrior folk dancing is being revitalized. It is Yingge, an art form that merges opera, dance and martial arts. Features: Costumes: Performers wear colorful, elaborate costumes, often with painted faces Music: The dance is performed to the beat of pounding drums Movement: The dance combines opera, dance, and martial arts, with powerful, vigorous strides Storytelling: The dance tells the story of the heroes from the Ming dynasty novel Water Margin Yingge dance is a traditional dance form which originated from China’s mid-Ming Dynasty, and has been passed down in the Teochew region of Guangdong. Performers paint their faces to resemble characters from the classic Chinese novel Water Margin (Shui Hu Zhuan), holding Yingge mallets or hand drums, while performing various formations to the sounds of gongs and drums in village streets and alleys. It is a blend of martial arts, drama, and different local art forms that demonstrates both strength and beauty. Recently, the charm of Yingge dance has spread globally through videos on the Internet, earning it the titles of “Chinese Street Dance” or “Chinese Battle Dance”. -------------------⭐⭐ Other Walk East's Cool Playlists: Night Walking Tour In China's Metropolitan Cities:    • Night Walking Tour In China's Metropolitan...   China's Stunning Old Towns:    • China's Stunning Old Towns   Shanghai City Classic Scenes:    • 4K⁶⁰ Shanghai City Classic Scenes   4K⁶⁰ Driving In China:    • 4K⁶⁰ Driving In China | 行车巡游之旅   -------------------⭐⭐ #chinatravel #Chaoshan #Shantou #Chaozhou #YinggeDance
