The purpose of this study is to compare the characteristics of the dancing props and dancing costumes of Angga, which is a traditional folk dance of Shandong, China, in order to lay the foundation of the basic data for the preservation of the traditional dances in China and comparative studies with the traditional dances in Korea. For this, in this study, the researcher focused on the historical materials on Angga of Shandong for the literature review, along with the related books, academic papers, and the Internet. The Anggas of Shandong are geographically in proximity to one another within Shandong, so that they are deeply influenced by the local culture. As a result, they have a variety of expression types; however, the residents influenced one another not only in terms of their customers through the interactions between them but also their dances. They went through different processes of evolution, leading them to have unique characteristics. While there are differences depending on the structure of the performance (roles), the Anggas of Shandong, China, use highly ornamented accessories, including a cap, silk head ornaments, and silk bands. Also, they share the common items such as a fan, silk, towel, staff, and other tools that they use in their performances. As such, the Anggas of Shandong, China, have been influenced by the customs, religion, legends, faith, lifestyle, and proverbs. And, as they are located close to one another, their modes of expressions are also similar. It would be necessary to study and discuss how to preserve and vitalize this dance in a more systematic and diversified manner, which should be followed by studies on how to discover and proliferate the dances in other regions as well as other follow-up dances.
