Bench Dragon Dance

Dragon dance is a popular folk game played on New Year's Day or other festivals. People play dragon dance to add happiness atmosphere to the festival and pray for well-being and health in the coming year.

Bench Dragon Dance is full of fun. The men in a family will form a Bench Dragon Dance team. Each bench represents a man in a family. The benches are connected end to end with iron buttons. People carrying benches walk zigzagging in the village or along field ridges is really a marvelous scene. It is a custom that people pray for favorable weather and generous harvest.
