"I mainly want children to feel the traditional taste, we had this taste when we were young, but now it is basically gone, when I was a child in the village, more than a dozen people danced the dragon with rice stalks, and now the children seem to have nothing but learning, so when they encounter activities that can experience customs, they want to participate.
