It is the main connotation of more than 50 kinds of folk arts, such as Xiping Caiyun Dance, Tea Picking and Butterfly Pushing, Flower Chair, Stilts, Rolling Stopper, Hedgehog Dance and Bamboo Horse.

According to textual research, the traditional folk songs in Xiping area had been spread in the Han Dynasty, and began to prevail in the Tang Dynasty. In this deep mountain area, there was a custom of "Tang generals" working together (that is, changing teams) long ago. Legend has it that after Li Yuan built the Tang Dynasty, fearing that meritorious soldiers would be proud of their merits and rebellion, he left them collectively in the mountains of Western Henan and Eastern Shaanxi to cultivate wasteland and lead a monotonous life. They sang songs, played dumb riddles and shouted labor slogans while working, so as to eliminate fatigue and relieve depression. By the end of Ming Dynasty and the beginning of Qing Dynasty, the drought in Wanxi caused a sparse population. Six times immigrants from Hongtong, Shanxi, under the great locust tree, came together with immigrants from Anhui, Hubei and other southern areas in Xiping. All kinds of cultural hybridization and collision have promoted the prosperity and development of Xiping folk songs by expressing their joys and sorrows through folk songs. So the traditional art of folk song developed and passed down on the ancient land of Xiping.
