The Crane Dance in Kuitan Town, Huilai County, is a folk dance that has been passed down for a long time in the local area. Cranes are auspicious creatures in the folk. There are sayings that cranes stand out from the crowd, have youthful looks, prolong life, and are auspicious cranes that indicate a good harvest. During the Spring Festival, Lantern Festival, and festive days, they often perform in community squares, streets, and other places. They are elegant, colorful, vigorous and lively, and are especially spectacular at night, making them popular among the masses. The formation of this dance originated from a local folk legend. According to legend, in ancient times, a village was repeatedly ravaged by a nearby demon king with great evil magic, and the villagers suffered terribly. In order to save the people, an immortal fought fiercely with the demon for seven days and seven nights, and finally won the battle. In order to commend the immortal's feat and congratulate the villagers on their peace and harmony from now on, God sent seven white cranes with auspicious flowers in their mouths to fly and dance on the mountains where the immortals lived to show his congratulations. Later, the Su family used this legend as the creative theme and formed a group dance of "Auspicious Cranes Offering Treasures". At the end of the performance, the dancers of the palace lantern dance stood in a circle with seven white cranes standing high in the middle, which was called "Seven Cranes Returning to the Peak".
