Extended information: The dragon is the fifth of the twelve traditional Chinese zodiac signs, and is called the "Four Spirits" along with the phoenix, turtle, and lin in the Book of Rites and Fortunes. The dragon in Western mythology also translates to dragon, but the two are not the same. The creatures that can be seen in the Chinese classics in ancient Chinese folk myths and legends cannot be found in reality, but the composition of their images originates from reality and plays the role of dispelling evil spirits, avoiding disasters and praying for blessings.

In China, the dragon has gone through four major stages of development: the totem worship stage, the god worship stage, the stage of combining the worship of the dragon god with the worship of the emperor, and the stage of combining the worship of the Naga dragon in Buddhism with the worship of the Chinese dragon.

During the totem worship stage, certain tribes in ancient China regarded the dragon as a totem as the ancestor and symbol of their own tribe. According to historical documents and relevant legends, the dragon (originally in the form of a snake) was originally the totem of the Fuxi clan, and later became the totem of the Taihui (Taihao) tribe. The Taihui tribe is one of the most important origins of dragon totem worship.

In the stage of god worship, agriculture and animal husbandry gradually took shape, and religious beliefs were also developed, transitioning from a relatively single totem worship to a polytheistic worship. Dragon totem worship also developed into dragon god worship. People deified the dragon and worshipped the dragon as the god of water and the rainbow.

After the dragon was deified, it was combined with the worship of the emperor. During the Qin and Han dynasties, the great unification of China required a great god to adapt to it, in order to integrate the beliefs of various places and ethnic groups, and dragon worship was combined with emperor worship.

Ancient Chinese emperors presented themselves as the incarnation or son of the dragon god, or as a person protected by the dragon god, and used the dragon to establish authority and gain the general trust and support of the people. In this way, the dragon gained a more prominent status and played a very important role in the development of Chinese dragon culture.

The dragon fights the tiger, the dragon is alive, the dragon and the horse are in the sky, the dragon is in the sky, the dragon gets water, and the dragon and the phoenix are auspicious.

The custom of the grass dragon dance:

The dragon was named after the straw tie it up. Tie a large handful of straw into a dragon head with a mouth, horns, eyes, and beard, use a bundle of straw ropes to tie into a seven-section dragon body with a thick ruler length of the dragon's head neck, and then use a handful of straw to tie into a fishtail-shaped dragon tail, a total of nine sections, with straw intervals strung together, and each section is inserted into a bamboo pole for the handle. Dancing the grass and putting the dragon, mainly held in the Tujia rural cottage, from May to July of the lunar calendar every year, is the time of the dancing grass and the dragon, and the meaning of the dragon dance is that the entertainment includes two kinds of dispel plague and fire prevention.

Plague repellent. In May and June of the lunar calendar, it is a long period of vigorous rice straw seedlings in the field, the weather is hot, and there are many diseases and insects, among which the devastating pests and diseases are"Rice blast"In the era when science and technology were backward and could not be prevented, Tujia farmers used grass dancing to expel rice blast with dragons, which became a habit for a long time and gathered people for entertainment. The dancing grass drives the dragon away from the plague, starting from the village to the field, and dancing along the road in turn on each rice field area and every hill and field, and the dance movement is the same as that of the lantern dragon.

The dragon dance team performs dance skills in the sound of blowing horns, setting off three-eyed cannons, beating gongs and drums, and setting off firecrackers, which is quite spectacular. After dancing in all the fields of their respective villages, they carry the grass to the side of the ravine and burn it, which is called sending the dragon back to the sea.

Flame migration. In the fifth month of the lunar calendar, around the Dragon Boat Festival or in July, when the rice is about to ripen, it is held in the village. On the day of the dragon dance, a basin of water and a sieve of cereals and grains are placed in the middle of the halls of each family in the village, waiting for the dragon dance team to come.

In addition to the dragon dance, there is a one-zhang long bamboo that breaks into the shape of a boat, and a pot of charcoal flame is installed in the middle, which is carried by two people. There were also three people who shot water, archery and Tulaosi, and then a number of free spectators. Led by the Tu Lao Division, the dragon dance team started from the first house in the village and entered each hall from top to bottom, and the dragon head made three nods to the shrine of the hall house, and then circled the hall house, and then danced various tricks.

At this time, the water shooter uses a water shooter (shaped with the third chapter"Hit the water gun"The same) suction basin water to the southeast, northwest, and five directions to shoot water (meaning to extinguish the fire), Tu Lao Si grabbed the five grains in the sieve to the southeast, northwest, and five directions. When they got out of the gate of the Chinese hall, the dragon dance team went out to dance to another hall. After all the families of the village danced, they carried the grass and the dragon and the flame to the side of the ravine, burned them, and watered them back to the sea.

The meaning of the dragon dance is to ask the dragon to move the flame god out of the village to avoid fire and keep it safe.
