NEW YORK, Jan. 11, 2018/Xinhua Finance Agency-AsiaNet/ --
Tongliang Dragon Dance from Southwest China’s Chongqing Municipality, which represents one of China’s national intangible cultural heritages, made its debut in Times Square during the New Year’s Eve celebration on Sunday.
A colorful 15-meter long Tongliang Dragon jumped, rolled and hovered under control of eight performers. Accompanied by Chongqing traditional folk songs, the dragon rods were like paddles that quickly swiped with the increasingly strong rhythm.
With an average age of 30, eight performers of the Tongliang Dragon Dance spent one month and a half in making preparations for the New Year's celebration. “It is a great honor to participate in such an activity. We can further enhance the world's understanding of the excellent Chinese traditional culture through our efforts,” said Zhang Shunsheng, the team leader, who is also an inheritor of the Tongliang Dragon Dance.
