The dragon dance was born in the classical sacrificial ceremony of the Miao people. In the early days, the dragon dance was a ritual in which the Miao people invited wizards to pray for peace, a good harvest, and pest control and disaster prevention. In 1954, Shi Chengjian and Shi Chengye of Malichang adapted the original dragon dance ceremony into a dance. Huayuan Dragon Dance participated in the National Minority Folk Music and Dance Festival in Beijing in 1956 and won the first prize. The dragon dance spread from then on, and the Miao people in Xiangxi Prefecture all have the custom of dancing the dragon dance. In addition to showing beautiful postures and clear vocabulary, the dragon dance also shows the costumes and silver ornaments of Miao women. It is a national dance that integrates dance, customs, and costumes. It is particularly popular in Huayuan County. The original dragon dance is the source of the history of Chinese folk dance, a "living fossil" for studying the history of Miao culture, and a unique and unique flower in the garden of Chinese folk dance art.
