Introduction to dragon dance

Dragon dance, commonly known as dragon lantern, or dragon dance in English, is one of the traditional folk cultural activities of the Han nationality that originated in China. Dragon dance originated from the ancient people's worship of dragons. During the festival, people will dance dragons, starting from the Spring Festival, and then "dragon heads up" in February and the Dragon Boat Festival. When dancing the dragon, the dragon follows the hydrangea to make various movements, interspersed, and constantly shows various postures such as twisting, waving, leaning back, kneeling, jumping and shaking.

Therefore, dragon dancing to pray for peace and harvest has become a folk culture of Han people all over the country. Dragon and lion dances are one of the performances in ancient large-scale festivals. With the emigration of Chinese to other parts of the world, the dragon and lion dance culture has spread all over Chinese mainland, Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, Southeast Asia, Europe, America, Australia and New Zealand, and has become an important symbol of Chinese culture.
