The Hudong Land Dragon Boat is a traditional folk performance in which the people of Hudong imitate the dragon boat race on the water and symbolically row a dragon boat on land. The performance not only has a strong entertainment atmosphere, but also has a spirit of cooperation that makes people move in unison, invigorate their spirits, and unite and forge ahead. The Hudong Land Dragon Boat is the first batch of intangible cultural heritage in Shanwei City. The Hudong Land Dragon Boat, also known as the Mountain Dragon Boat, has been passed down to this day and has a history of more than 300 years. In the 17th year of Chongzhen in the Ming Dynasty (1664), Wu Lu, a folk artist in Hudong Town, found that the folks living by the sea were accustomed to the dragon boat race on the water every Dragon Boat Festival, so he imitated the rowing action of the dragon boat race and symbolically rowed a dragon boat on land. Since the Qing Dynasty, it has been performed mostly during festivals and large-scale celebrations. In the inheritance of folk art from generation to generation, the Hudong Land Dragon Boat has been continuously enriched and improved, and has become one of the indispensable traditional performances in Lufeng folk art activities. The Hudong Land Dragon Boat is a "Dragon Boat Rowing" performance, named because it is rowed on dry land. The Hudong dry dragon boat is 20 meters long and is performed by 30 to 46 people. The actors stand in two rows in the boat. During the performance, they tie the boat body with a belt and use their feet to drive the boat forward. Under the sound of gongs and drums in the boat and the command of the conductor, they hold the oars in their hands, shout slogans, and row the boat in a rhythmic manner. The pace of the march is to step out of the wave-breaking posture according to the shape required for the dragon boat to move forward. The person in charge of the dragon head and the rudder also make corresponding movements and cooperate closely with them. It forms a moving picture of striving for the upper reaches and winning the dragon boat, which is not inferior to the scene of dragon boat racing on the stream in the harbor. In particular, when the oarsmen sing beautiful fishermen's songs with the loud whistle, the oars move with the songs and the boat moves with the oars. The gongs and drums urge people to work hard, and the scenery is as beautiful as the real dragon. The dry dragon boat seems to have become a sign of good luck for people. The hull of the dry dragon boat is divided into three parts: head, body and tail. The head is angular and looks like a dragon horn. The body is decorated with dragon scales and other exquisite patterns. The tail is upturned. The dragon boat head and tail are made of bamboo and paper. The left and right boards in the middle are connected by two long cloths with scales and waves painted on the bottom. It is equipped with wooden paddles and wooden rudders. Whistles, conch shells, small drums, small gongs, small cymbals, etc. are used for performance. During the performance, the performers are divided into two rows, with cloth belts tied around their waists and oars in their hands. They row the boat in an orderly manner to the accompaniment of the gong and drum team and the sound of whistles in the boat. The person in charge of the dragon head and the rudder tail also makes corresponding movements, which looks like the boat is sailing on the water. When the dragon boat moves forward, there are also fishermen's songs or chorus singing. The Hudong dry dragon boat is a collective operation of "rowing", with a spirit of unity and progress. The performance not only has a strong entertainment atmosphere, which makes people happy and healthy, but also can invigorate the spirit. For example, the brave image of the person holding the dragon head makes people feel the beauty of masculinity; the funny movements of the person holding the rudder tail make people laugh. Therefore, the land dragon boat has the value of moral education, virtue and collectivism education. The Hudong land dragon boat has been passed down to this day and is often performed. After the founding of New China, it has been paid attention to by governments and cultural departments at all levels. It is a unique performance in Lufeng's traditional literary and artistic activities. When the government or the private sector holds large-scale folk art activities, the Hudong land dragon boat is invited to perform. It has participated in the Lufeng Lantern Festival entertainment activities and the 20th anniversary of the establishment of Shanwei City. The cultural parade was praised by the audience. In 1993, the "People's Daily Overseas Edition", "Nanfang Daily" and "Shanwei Daily" successively reported on it; in 1994, the book "Tide Rolling Thousands of Snow" also made a key introduction. The 25th chapter of "Lufeng County Chronicles" also has detailed records in the cultural part.
