Dragon Dance Information in Traditional Culture

Dragons are named after straw. Make a bibcock with a mouth, horns, eyes and a beard with a straw, make a seven-section dragon body with the same thickness as the neck of the bibcock with a bundle of straw, and then make a fishtail with nine sections, with straw connected in series at every other section and a bamboo pole inserted in each section. The grass and dragon dances are mainly held in Tujia rural cottages. Every year from May to July in the lunar calendar, it is the time to dance grass and dragons. The significance of dragon dance is that entertainment includes expelling plague and preventing fire.
