www.chinanews.cn 2006-02-10 16:04:02
Feb. 8, 2006 was the 11th day of this Chinese New Year in the lunar
calendar, when Guangxi's Bingyang County celebrated its traditional
firecracker and dragon dance festival, a festival with a history of 300
years. On that evening, 40 dragons danced through streets and alleys,
allowing tens of thousand of visitors from all around to experience the
traditional exciting and breathtaking dragon dance accompanied by snaps
of firecrackers and folk music played with gong and drum and other
traditional musical instruments. All dragon dancers were strong men bare
to the waist with a straw hat on the head. Onlookers would throw
firecrackers to the dragon and carry their children and grandchildren to
dash to the other side from beneath the dragons in pursuit of
auspiciousness.
