The Farmer's Dance is a representative dance favored by the Korean ethnic group in northeastern China, and is especially popular in the Korean congregating area of Jilin, Heilongjiang andLiaoning provinces.
The Korean farmer's dance originated in ancient times when Koreans began to farm and hold rituals to pray for good harvests and good weather. It was traditionally performed during planting, harvesting and other agricultural events, to help them overcome their fatigue and anguish. Early records mention Korean farmers working to the beat of percussion instruments.
