Tiger dance, also known as "playing tiger" ("playing" Jiaozuo dialect refers to "playing" and "performing"), is said to have appeared in the Western Han Dynasty and spread in the middle reaches of the Yellow River. Jiaozuo "playing tiger" dance can be traced back to the Ming Dynasty. Jiaozuo's ancestors were inspired by tiger's boldness and action of Teng, Jump, Push and Lie. They created and compiled the traditional folk dance of tiger dance, also known as "playing tiger", with tiger's vigor, agility, vigor and dignity, integrating with local cultural characteristics, or martial arts, or sacrifice, or interpretation of local stories.

From the end of Qing Dynasty to the beginning of the Republic of China to the 1930s, it was the first flourishing period. At that time, tiger dancing was combined with martial arts. Then it was inspired by traditional operas and folklore to strengthen its plot and interest, to compile the performance of instrument fighting tigers, and to arrange tiger table, chair and tower performances according to the characteristics of tiger's bravery and skillful climbing, so as to make tiger dancing in the village in a regular way. Mould and performance skills have been greatly improved, and many excellent performers have emerged. After the War of Resistance Against Japan, it gradually declined; after liberation, it gradually recovered; and in the 1990s, with the tide of reform and opening up, it has made great progress. From single tiger performance to group tiger performance in the past, personal performance technology has also been greatly improved.
