Lyrics:
Hit that lotus box in the first month, (willow lotus, willow lotus),
I tied the kite in February, and (Liu Wali hitched it as a begonia flower).
It snows heavily in winter,
Kill the pig in the twelfth lunar month
origin
According to legend, many years ago, a group of beggars went to the door of a rich family on holidays, singing and dancing with a short stick in their hands, saying flattering, flattering, auspicious and festive words to please their owners and get some food to satisfy their hunger.
Slowly, for good luck, the rich invited some people to sing at home during the Chinese New Year holiday and rewarded some red envelopes. Later, people turned short sticks into bamboo and put copper coins on them. When they jump, the copper coins collide with each other loudly, making them more lively, thus becoming the lotus fragrance we see today.

During the performance, young men and women each hold a lotus flower to do various dance movements, from head to toe, from front to back, playing and singing, regardless of the number.
