Dragon Dance(舞龙) is a kind of traditional dance in Chinese
culture. It has been spread all over China and to the whole world.
Traditionally, dragons
were made of wood and cloth. However, in the modern times, dragons are much
lighter because they are made of lighter materials like plastic. The length(长度) of dragons can be from around 25 to 35 metres
for acrobatic(杂技) models, and up to 50 to 70 metres for
the largest parade(游行) styles because people believe
that the longer the dragon is, the more luck it will bring. A small organization cannot run a very long
dragon because it requires great human power, much money and special skills.
The Dragon Dance itself
began during the Han Dynasty. And it was started by the Chinese who had shown
great respect towards the dragon. It was already a popular event during the
Song Dynasty. At that time, it became a popular activity like the Lion Dance.
People could often see it during some important festivals. In the Qing Dynasty,
the Dragon Dance Team of Fuzhou was invited to put on a show in Beijing. And
the emperor(黄帝) spoke highly of it. The
emperors of ancient China thought of themselves as the dragons.
