In the rural areas such as Wuhe Village in Dahu Town, Lianping County and Xiaoshui Village in Chuantang Town, Heyuan City, etc., the local villagers will beat drums, set off fireworks and hold torches before the Lantern Festival. They gather in the village in the form of a "fire dragon" parade to celebrate the Spring Festival noisily. The locals call this cultural custom activity "chasing the dragon", "chasing the color dragon" or "coming out of the color dragon". Yesterday, the reporter saw in Wuhe Village, Dahu Town that the long torch team was like a "fire dragon" walking in the mountains and fields, and it looked very beautiful from afar.
