As an ancient totem, the dragon has a high status in the hearts of Hakka people. On festival days, Hakka people will use the dragon dance to pray for good weather and a good harvest. The Puzhai Fire Dragon Dance was featured in CCTV's legendary Chinese Festival-Lantern Festival in 2022. Local people also use Puzhai Fire Dragon Dance elements to promote the development of tourism, and create large-scale live performances integrating landscape, folk customs and stories. Let's see how the "Puzhai Fire Dragon Dance" is inherited, developed and activated!
