In ancient times, the area around Ningling County was called Ge, where Ge tribe recuperated and created the early human civilization represented by "Ge Zhile". Ge Zhile, Chu Zhushu, Lu Chunqiu, Origin of Things, Textual Research of Books, General Examination of Documents, Historical Records and History of the Road are all recorded, but the records of two secretaries, Lu Chunqiu and History of the Road, are the most detailed. Lu's Spring and Autumn Annals said: "In the past, Ge Zhile and three people fucked oxtail, and they sang eight songs: one was" Carrying the people ",the other was" Xuanniao ",the third was" planting trees ",the fourth was" bravely enjoying the grain ",the fifth was" respecting the heaven ",the sixth was" building the emperor ",the seventh was" relying on heaven for virtue "and the eighth was. "The History of Taoism" said: "Therefore, taking Tian Ge as the name is self-righteous, self-righteous and incompetent. But also fun, eight scholars catch up, fuck the tail, knock on the corner, and the song ends in eight; The military noise from building blocks and tiles is called' Le Guang'. "From the above, Gequ, also known as Le Guang, has more or less performers, ranging from three to eight; Its props are headdress horns and waving oxtail; Its dance is the reappearance of life scenes such as sacrifice, labor and hunting. Its music is the sound and rhythm produced by the impact of percussion instruments. Its audience also sings with the rhythm of music; Its arrangement is divided into eight parts according to the content, forming a complete musical song and dance repertoire. According to the research of experts and scholars such as Li Yujie and Gao Youpeng from the School of History and Culture of Henan University, The Music of Songs is the first musical song and dance recorded in China's state-owned literature, so it is an important source of China's music, dance, poetry and repertoire. Gu Di Ge, who attacked Fuxi, was the ancestor of China's music, song and dance, and one of the founders of Chinese humanity. Ningling County is the hometown of music, song and dance in China.

With the development of history and the progress of society, "Ge Zhile" became a "big chapter" from the Yaodi period, a "little music" in the Shundi period and a "lower music" in the Yu period. Even later official martial arts, literary and dance feathers, folk music, folk music and so on. Today, the eight songs and dances of Ge Zhile in Ningling, after thousands of years, are incomplete and on the verge of being lost. However, there are still many traces of "Ge Zhile" in some folk music, songs and dances in Ningling. It is of far-reaching historical and practical significance to further study, excavate and restore this "living fossil" of China music and dance, and to save the root and source of national music and dance.
