The accumulation of ancient history and culture, the kinship and marriage of the Mongolian and Han ethnic groups, the formation of agricultural and nomadic cultures for mutual exchange, gave birth to splendid folk art, and the intangible cultural heritage of The Valley Of Northern Shaanxi is one of the strange branches.
Fugu Duorentai was popularized in the urban and rural areas of Fugu County, and later spread in all counties of Yulin City, because it belonged to the folk singing art, and the historical script was not examined. According to the information provided by Mr. Ding Xicai, a famous duotai artist who is a professor at the Shanghai Conservatory of Music in Fugu, the Fugu duorentai has formed an artist team around the time of the Tongzhi period of the Qing Dynasty (1862), but there is no such title as the duotai, which comes from folk song duet and oratorio sitting singing, so it is sometimes called meditation cavity, and it is also called "singing and playing" when accompanied by the New Year's Festival social fire. Fugu Errentai is rooted in the local area, and survives and develops along with the life, production, politics, economy and culture of the local people. At the end of the Qing Dynasty, the people were in flames of war, and the people did not have a good life. In order to escape the war, the people of Hedong and Shanxi and the native people went to Mongolia to make a living outside the exit (outside the Great Wall). On the way, folk artists team up in classes to sell songs along the way. Frequent exchanges between the mouth and the outside have made the Fugu Errentai and jinmeng folk culture integrate and develop.
