Dragon lantern dance is a traditional folk dance, also known as "dragon dance", "dragon lantern", "dragon playing", etc. It is said to have originated in the Han Dynasty. Dragon lantern dances are performed from the first to the fifteenth day of the first lunar month every year. There are various types of dragons, such as "colorful dragon" and "fire dragon". The dragon head of the colorful dragon is colorful, and the dragon body is made of various soft segments, about 9 to more than 10 sections, with exquisite shapes. When dancing, it is often accompanied by colorful lanterns such as fish, shrimp, and clams. Regardless of gender, dragon dancers all wear colorful clothes with a front opening, a red belt, and hold a pole. They dance with the entertainer, bending and turning, and dancing continuously. There are percussion instruments to accompany them. Fire dragons often use colorful dragon heads, and the dragon body is made of coarse linen with painted dragon scales. There is a bamboo cage in each section, which contains a candle or a twister, which is lit during the dance. Fire dragons are longer and larger than colorful dragons, usually with more than 10 sections, and the pole is also longer. The dragon pole is about 2 meters long. Because the dragon burning ceremony is often held on the night of the Lantern Festival, it is called "fire dragon". Fire dragons usually have two dragons and two treasures. Burning dragons during the Lantern Festival symbolizes the New Year celebrations and is used to pray for "good luck and peace". The dragon dancers wear straw hats, shorts, bare feet and bare backs, and dance with dragons. The people lighting lanterns around them hold firecrackers mixed with iron flowers and charcoal balls and spray them at the dragons. Sparks fly, the dragon rolls, and the flames rise to the sky, colorful. When the dragon's body is burning vigorously, the dragon dancers lift the dragon frame and run to the river, meaning to send the dragon back to the sea. (No pictures yet, welcome to provide.)
