The ancient style of Akaishi Dragon Boat Festival, the singing echoes with the notes of history. At the end of the Song Dynasty and the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty, the Liao and Jin Dynasties invaded the border, and people from the Central Plains moved southward in large numbers. The relatively stable environment and large amounts of valleys in eastern Guangdong attracted exiled soldiers and people who wanted to live and work in peace and contentment. The population of Chaohui Prefecture and Chaohui Prefecture increased sharply, with six or seven people each. As many as ten thousand. Especially at the end of the Southern Song Dynasty, Yuan soldiers captured Lin'an. Hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians from Jiangsu, Huaihe, Fujian and Zhejiang moved from Fuzhou to Chao and Hui coastal prefectures in Guangdong for refuge. The Chishi area, located on the west side of Yangtaoling Post Road, was vast. Sparsely populated and plentiful with water, it became the chosen settlement of the exiled groups. At one time, nearly 200 villages were built, with a population of over 30,000. It brought with it Southern Fujian culture and Hakka culture, and laid the foundation of Chishi's ethnic lineage. Immigrants from all over the world have brought with them the culture, art and customs of their original places, making Akaishi a cornucopia of folk art.
