The Houdong Tea Lantern in Dalu Township, Songtao County, is a traditional folk drama loved by the villagers. It is a comprehensive stage art that integrates art, dance, and costumes. Tea Lantern originated from the tea mountain culture at that time. It is a folk art that integrates lanterns, songs, dances, dramas, gongs and drums and other artistic forms. It is usually performed by two people. The performers are all male, divided into clown and female roles. Because of the custom that "women do not dance tea lanterns", the female role is usually played by men. In addition to the clown and the female roles, the actors also have helpers, with varying numbers. Some of them hold a lantern and stand around the performance area, which not only illuminates the performance, but also helps sing or speak together when the main actor needs help. The accompaniment instruments are mainly percussion instruments, including drums, gongs (divided into copper gongs and hook gongs), and cymbals (divided into head cymbals and second cymbals). The specific playing methods include chicken pecking rice, urgent wind, lazy dragon crossing the river, chicken flapping wings, dragon wagging its tail, and phoenix nodding. In the long-term performance, the art of tea lanterns has been continuously improved and processed. It has developed from the original two-person performance to four, six, eight-person performances, and even more group performances. Whether the tea lantern is a two-person, multi-person or even group performance, it is inseparable from its artistic structure, that is, Taiping Lantern, Shouyuan Lantern, Bridge Lantern, Child-Giving Lantern, Playing Lantern and other types; the singing and dancing performances are divided into four parts: "Welcome the Lantern and Worship the Lord", "Open the Gate of Wealth", "Jumping Lanterns and Singing Operas", and "Transforming Wealth and Sending Lanterns". With the prosperity and development of tourism, tea lanterns have used tourism as a vehicle to bring this beautiful folk art to the market, allowing it to play an extremely important role.
