Silk string lantern introduction: Silk string lantern is one of the performance forms of local folk art lanterns. Its form is unique to Yuqing and Fenggang counties in Guizhou. Folk artists organized and processed the beautiful melodies from tea lanterns, gong and drum lanterns and some local folk songs, and added them with the accompaniment of erhu, sanxian and other stringed instruments. After a long period of application and evolution, they have become today's stringed lanterns, but the protagonists are flower lanterns. Among them were Tang Er and Yaomei, as well as the Twelve Garden Sisters and related personnel. The singing contents are mostly about the changes of the twelve solar terms in the folk and the love and marriage of young men and women. The dance steps are based on the "four square steps" and the dance steps are generous and graceful.
