At the stall that mainly sells roasted pork skins and sausages, Ms. Chen, a staff member, is too busy to rest. After leaving the stall at 11 a.m. until the evening, there was a steady stream of customers coming to consume. "I have spent three years in Zhongshan, and I feel that this year's Spring Festival atmosphere is the strongest. ”
Red Sun Restaurant, which once won the "Top Ten Famous Dishes of Cantonese Chef Zhongshan" with a steamed fish belly with soy sauce, has been out of stalls since 3 p.m., mainly selling chrysanthemums and crispy carp. Mr. Xiao, the general manager of the hotel, told reporters that this is the first time that the Red Sun Hotel came to the city to set a stall, but he did not expect the effect to be unexpectedly good: "Although we are late, there are still many customers who come to inquire and consume." Chrysanthemum and crispy carp are our special delicacies in Zhongshan, and we hope to let tourists from other places taste the characteristics of Zhongshan and feel the food culture of Zhongshan. ”
Intangible cultural heritage inheritance of the first year of the New Year
That night, the drunken dragon dance, which was a hot show, caught the attention of the audience. After the series of unique drunken dragon dances, the crowd who watched them up close let out bursts of amazement. "The three characteristic links of the Cheung Chau drunken dragon of fire, fireworks and wine spraying can be fully displayed in the outdoor environment on the banks of the Qijiang River. The sixth-generation inheritor of the Cheung Chau Drunken Dragon gradually introduced that the team entered the venue from 6 p.m. to prepare for the exhibition, and nearly 30 people participated in the intangible cultural heritage parade, and half of the young team members were members. ** It is increasingly believed that the inheritance of intangible cultural heritage depends on young people, and it is hoped that Zhongshan will implement more innovative models such as "flash mobs", so that citizens and tourists in the Greater Bay Area can get in touch with more traditional Chinese culture in Zhongshan. The dragon is drunk, the clouds leap over the sea, and the majestic momentum expresses the beautiful vision of the prosperous era of Zhongshan Longteng.

In addition, on the flash mob of the intangible cultural heritage parade, a six-square cloud dragon carried out a simple and grand "finishing touch" ceremony. More than 100 people participated in the tour of Liufang Yunlong, including more than a dozen new teenagers. Deng Shenghong, the inheritor of the Liufang Cloud Dragon Dance, introduced that the biggest highlight of this year is the use of new dragons, hoping to bring more popularity and spirit to Zhongshan and the Qijiang River, symbolizing the spirit and spirit of the dragon horse.
At present, the Liufang Cloud Dragon Dance has a history of 100 years, but it attaches great importance to using innovative models to convey intangible cultural heritage. Deng Shenghong introduced that the lights of the traditional Liufang Yunlong mainly rely on candles, and now the new dragons all use the local lighting of the ancient town lamp, which integrates the local elements of the ancient town lamp. "The new technology makes dragons look more lifelike, more popular with the masses, and more conducive to the dissemination of intangible cultural heritage. ”
Citizens experience the fireworks of happiness
Miao Miao, a tourist who tasted chrysanthemums for the first time, decided to buy one after tasting the dishes of the Red Sun Restaurant, and the unique taste of the combination of chrysanthemums and sauces made her have endless aftertastes. 2024 is the first time Miao Miao has come to Zhongshan for the New Year, and after seeing the information about the Spring Festival food and cultural consumption activities on the Internet, she came to the pedestrian street of Sun Wen West Road. "There are so many people, and the strong Spring Festival atmosphere in a foreign land will make me feel very warm. Miao Miao said, "I not only feel the profound historical and cultural heritage of Zhongshan, but also experience the fireworks and human touch of happiness here." This will definitely be an unforgettable Chinese New Year! ”

With the change of the rhythm of gongs and drums, dragon and lion dances walk through the streets and alleys, sometimes jumping in the air, sometimes tumbling and fluttering, conveying peace and blessings to people. Wu Linbo and a group of old friends met at Xingzhong Square, where they had just finished watching the Drunken Dragon Dance performance in the parade. The group was excitedly discussing.
Wu Linbo's family lives in Erzhi Lane, Yong'an Fang, Shiqi Street, and on the evening of the first day of the Lunar New Year, the family finished the New Year's dinner early and came to the Qijiang River for a walk. "I didn't expect Zhongshan to have such a wonderful event with local characteristics. Wu Linbo bluntly said that in the past two years, the overall management of the Qijiang River has achieved remarkable results, so that the surrounding residents can really feel that the living environment has been greatly improved, and the night economy on the banks of the Qijiang River has become increasingly "popular".
