Daxin Lantern originated in the Daxin area of Zitong in the early years of the Republic of China. It is a folk lantern dance with local characteristics that is popular in Zitong and northwest Sichuan. It is an important part of Wenchang sacrificial culture. Daxin Lantern is a large-scale comprehensive song and dance with lanterns as the main props, "lantern array" as the main performance form, and "lantern playing" as the main means of expression. Daxin Lantern is composed of many things. In addition to one Qinglong and one Huanglong, there are more than ten kinds of lanterns of different sizes, including ingots, card lanterns, horse lanterns, lion lanterns, phoenix lanterns, car lanterns, shrimp lanterns, carp lanterns, clam shell lanterns, turtle lanterns, colorful lotus boats, etc. These lanterns are called sky lanterns. The lanterns performed by 12 fairies are called ground lanterns. In addition, there are also the appearance of characters such as Chunguan, Lantern Official, Huazi, and Tudi. In addition to gongs and drums and instrument players, there are more than 90 people participating in the performance, which is performed according to the session, singing and dancing, and the whole performance lasts for more than 3 hours. Lantern playing is 0 of the whole performance. The green and yellow dragons and various lanterns danced and walked to the sound of gongs and drums, and entered the venue to the roar of the performers. The lanterns were placed at the four corners of the lantern field, representing the four directions of east, south, west and north. The performance was divided into seven scenes. The first scene was "running into the field", in which the green and yellow dragons walked through the lanterns according to their own routes, followed by shrimp lanterns, clam lanterns, carp lanterns and turtle lanterns; the second scene was "lantern officials", in which the lantern officials and flower children who played the roles of Sheng and Qiao in the drama came on stage; the third scene was "sister lanterns", in which the flower-playing lady played by the watchman came on stage and performed various dances of playing with flowers; the fourth scene was "running lanterns", which was exactly the same as the running of the green and yellow dragons, followed by performances of "street cleaning" and "sister makeup"; the fifth scene was "picking tea", in which the tea-picking women played by the watchman came on stage to pick tea, pour tea, sell tea and invite tea, etc.; the sixth scene was "car lanterns", and the last scene was "horse lanterns". After the founding of New China, the Daxin lantern performance activities were interrupted for a time. Nowadays, many of the descendants who were familiar with the performance procedures and props making have passed away, and some documents have been lost. Daxin Lanterns are highly endangered. In September 2006, Daxin Lanterns were announced by the Mianyang Municipal People's Government as the first batch of municipal intangible cultural heritage lists.
