It is to use flowing "lines" to express the beauty of rich and changeable pictures.

Dragon Dance has the functions of education, national cohesion, cultural inheritance, fitness and economic industry.

The role of dragon dance:

1. Enhance cultural functions.

The Dragon Dance also promoted the excellent traditional "Dragon Culture" in China. Various cultural festivals, art festivals and folk festivals with the theme of promoting dragon culture are spread all over the country. Traditional dragon cultural activities, especially dragon dance activities, have been washed away from their original colors and injected with new ways of thinking and values.

2. Educational function.

The "Guiding Outline of Physical Education in National Colleges and Universities" clearly points out that "the world's outstanding sports achievements should be combined with the inheritance and development of foreign traditional sports, and the times and diversity of teaching materials should be paid attention to, so as to fully embody the national characteristics of teaching materials and publicize the characteristics of China." Dragon dance has distinctive national characteristics. Its emergence and development are in the same strain as the traditional culture of the Chinese nation, and it is a kind of sustenance and expression of the working people of past dynasties on their religious beliefs, national culture and customs.

Its cultural connotation is not only related to the national way of thinking, but also directly related to the specific cultural atmosphere. It is not only the education and exercise of sports skills, physical elements and willpower, but also the study and education of traditional cultures of various ethnic groups, and a more intuitive and in-depth understanding of national cultures.

3. Fitness function.

Dragon dance is also a sports event that combines martial arts, dance, national drum music and other comprehensive factors. Dragon dance organically combines martial arts skills and dance art through the beating rhythm of drum music. In the ever-changing rhythm, dragon dancing is a collective fitness exercise, and dancers must cooperate with each other and be flexible and agile.

Many dancers who dance ball and dragon tail use some dance moves. This is a good physical and mental exercise for performers and a healthy and leisure way of physical and mental adjustment for audiences.

4. Economic and industrial functions.

The dragon is a symbol and symbol of the unity and cohesion of the Chinese nation. "Dragon Lantern Culture" is an important representative of "Dragon Culture". It is a major artistic expression that vividly shows the "dragon culture", which occupies an important position in people's lives and affects people's spiritual life.

The innovative industry of dragon dance came into being in the wave of market economy development, which realized its own economic interests and demonstrated the economic and industrial functions of dragon dance. At present, China has initially possessed the market conditions for developing dragon and lion sports.

At this stage, the dragon and lion sports market has a good development prospect, the audience's enthusiasm continues to rise, and the frequency of dragon and lion sports competitions increases. However, there are also many problems, such as single marketing channel and low operating efficiency. Most clubs and training courses are difficult to operate, mainly because of unreasonable system, imperfect mechanism and lack of management talents and professional athletes.

These problems are not difficult to solve. First of all, we should learn from the successful experience of other domestic projects, and gradually establish a management system that conforms to China's national conditions and adapts to the laws of market economy on the basis of the "gradual" promotion model. At present, the development of dragon dance industry always goes hand in hand with the market. The prosperity of industry promotes the prosperity of market, which in turn promotes the development of industry.

Dragon dance in North-South style;

Therefore, Nanlong, as its name implies, is a form of dragon dance developed in Jiangnan area. The dragon body of Nanlong is relatively heavy, and the faucet is at the heaviest part of the whole dragon. Nanlong's style is very imposing. Because of its weight, in action, it does not pay attention to ingenuity like Veron, but to physical strength. The South Dragon is led by one person in the Dragon Ball, plus the dragon body, generally there are about ten people, and the dragon body is about nine meters long.

Because Nanlong does not pursue flexibility, the dragon body can be 20 meters, 100 meters long, or even 1000 meters long. The size of the faucet varies according to the length of the dragon body. In production, Nanlong is more traditional, and the faucet is tied with bamboo paper. The traditional dragon body pattern is sewn with cloth, and the dragon body pattern of the competition dragon is also painted on cloth for lightness. Most of them are painted or even sewn by computer.

The style developed by peron in jiangbei. As far as the dragon body is concerned, Bellon's dragon head is relatively small and light. The material can be tied with traditional paper or light glue, and it can make more expensive movements in a novel way, such as rolling left and right. Unlike Nanlong, Veron's range of action is much finer, so the physical strength required is relatively reduced. Veron's actions are usually suitable for dark environments.
