Dragon dance is the soul of traditional dance in Leizhou Peninsula, with distinct rhythm, strong drums, great momentum and inspiring people. Legend has it that dragons can sow clouds and rain, eliminate disasters and reduce happiness, symbolizing good luck, so it has become a custom in all parts of the country to dance dragons to pray for a safe harvest. There are East Island Dragon Dance and Shentang Dragon Dance in Leizhou Peninsula. Dragon Dance in Shentang (primitive) originated in Jiajing period of Ming Dynasty (1523), and was created by Shentang villagers in Long Ren to celebrate Chen Shikai, a local official, who was a scholar and rich in Leiyang and went to Lingbi County of Anhui Province in autumn. This dance has been included in "China Folk Dance Integration" (Guangdong Volume), and it is being actively applied for expansion as a protection project of intangible cultural heritage in Guangdong Province. At the celebration, the villagers performed two different styles, original and packaged, wonderful and unique dragon dances and other folk performances, which were welcomed by experts and villagers. Dragon dancing adds to the festive atmosphere and expresses the prayers of working people for a better life.
