The ghosts are gone from Puning today,but that doesn’t mean the locals don’t relish a chance to play heroes.Yingge(英歌),written with the charactersfor“hero”and“song,”is a typeof folk dance with 300 years of history from the Chaoshan region of Guangdong province.It evolved from the sacrificial Nuo opera(傩戏)performed in various parts of southern China to welcome the spring,dispel evil spirits,and pray for good fortune.
