Burning Dragon Dance In Puzhai Town

MEIZHOU, CHINA - JUNE 19: Folk artist Zhang Zijng's house is filled with his works on June 19, 2017 in Meizhou, Guangdong Province of China. The fire dragon dance of Puzhai Town at Fengshun County is a folk recreational activity, which dates back to Qianlong era of Qing Dynasty (in the 1741s). Since then, it has become the typical rite on the night of the Lantern Festival. The local people usually perform burning-dragon dance. The golden dragon is made of bamboo-frame and is about 35 meters long. Fireworks and crackers are then fixed onto the golden dragon and performers will hold up the dragon and shake the head and wag the tail of it. The dragon will produce colorful pearls from its mouth and colorful sparks will come out from the golden body. And thus Puzhai Town is well-known for the dragon burning rite.
