In Chinese folklore, the legend about the dragon has been passed down for thousands of years, is a symbol of good luck, and is deeply loved and worshiped by the people.
When the lanterns are lit up for the New Year, if a festive dragon dance team comes to your house to celebrate the New Year, is it open to welcome or closed?
Jingchu has a long history of culture, and in my hometown of Hubei and Hubei Province, the dragon and lion dances celebrate the New Year, which is especially popular among the common people.
When I was a child, after eating Laba porridge, the pace of the New Year was approaching. In addition to purchasing New Year's goods, the adults who have been idle also have to buy cloth and colorful flower paper to create a Ruilong solemnly.
The villagers all turned into skilled craftsmen, weaving bamboo slabs into models of dragon heads and tails, and pasting them with glittering colored paper. There are dragon horns, there are scales, and there are dragon whiskers.
The finishing touch, when the respected elders in the village finally installed the dragon's eye in person, the dragon came to life and was enshrined in the temple.
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, the dragon was dispatched.
Women don't play with dragons. The old and young masters in the village formed a dragon dance team, with gongs and drums, and walked through the village alleys to pay New Year's greetings.
Warm welcome everywhere you go.
We are a group of cheering kids, cheerleading in the ranks. The elder holding the dragon head must be a village Chinese person, and he must have the eloquence to export the chapter and spit lotus flowers.
When the host's family greeted a string of beep bar firecrackers, the leading elder began to cheer, and he shouted a string of blessed New Year's lines.
The smiling owner happily gave cigarettes, candy or peanut snacks. The elder holds the dragon head and bows three times in return.
Traditional culture is deeply rooted in the people. Just as the common people believe that on the second day of the second lunar month, cutting hair will have a smooth year.
After the dragon dance team enters the village, the old people rush to pick up the children and touch the dragon's whiskers to touch the fairy spirit, in order to seek good luck.
Men, women and children have drilled around under the dragon's body, praying for the dragon's blessings and good luck.
If the dragon dance team is invited to walk around the house, the owner of Pengmen Bright can't help but be overjoyed and will generously give a big red envelope. People firmly believe that the dragon is coming, bad luck is removed, and fortune comes.
Shenlong will also eat until the door is closed. When some people saw the dragon dance team coming, they quickly closed the doors and windows and hid, reluctant to set off strings of firecrackers.
At this time, the mischievous young offspring with a dragon tail in hand may play a dragon tail in front of the family like a prank, and the adults say that the family may not be rich this year.
After the door-to-door worship, the dragon dance team will choose an open space in the village and start the dragon dance as a token of appreciation.
The athletic young men put on a posture and began to perform. So, the dragon danced wildly, flipped and circled, and the cheering crowd applauded.
The villagers hope that the dragon will bring blessings and shelter, and the harvest of the four seasons will be a good omen. The owner of the shop welcomed the purple dragon from the east, gave auspicious energy, and the wealth rolled off to a good start.
The uncle who picks up the basket in the dragon dance team is like the diligent sand monk in Journey to the West. One day after the New Year's greetings, the basket was piled up with cigarettes and other trophies, and everyone returned with a full load when it was dark.
The dragon dance is a form of folk entertainment with a beautiful meaning, and it is also a happy event for the people of the hometown to visit relatives and friends and celebrate the New Year. From the first day to the fifteenth day of the Lunar New Year, the dragon dance team in the village was happy to visit the villagers within a radius of dozens of miles, bringing greetings and blessings for the Spring Festival to thousands of households.
Early in the morning of the sixteenth day of the first lunar month, the whole village of men, women and children gathered on the river beach at the entrance of the village to hold a grand ceremony of "turning into a dragon".
After the red candles were lit, the village elders personally lit the fire and burned the dragon's head and dragon tail. In the deafening sound of firecrackers, it turned to ashes.
It is believed that since then, Shenlong has flowed down from the big river in his hometown, crossed the mountains and rivers of the land of Shenzhou, and returned to the Dragon Palace of the East China Sea, leaving the wind and rain smooth.
The adults reverently stored the body of the clothed dragon in the temple in preparation for the resurrection of the dragon in the following year.
After playing with the dragon, the picture scroll of the 24 solar terms began to unfold slowly on the fields of his hometown.
Frogs chirp, peach blossoms bloom, ploughing cows bark, and swallows fly. Cuckoo promotes spring, and Vientiane is renewed.
The dragon is the totem of the Chinese nation, has a very high status in Chinese culture, is regarded as a god who can control the weather, rain, can bring good luck to the world, and is also a symbol of imperial power and divine power.
China is the homeland of the dragon, and China is a giant dragon that is taking off.
The Spring Festival is a carnival for the Chinese, and in the Year of the Dragon, may every one of our Chinese sons and daughters leap into the dragon gate, bring cultural self-confidence to fly the dragon and ride the clouds, and live as the heirs of the dragon and horse spirit dragon.
