A dragon set actor is a unit composed of four people (called a Hall). Generally, one or two halls are used on the stage to act as the attendants or soldiers in the play. They are responsible for cheering and shouting or setting off the momentum to show that there are many people. It is a rare form of performance. The reason why it is called "dragon suit" is that the costumes are often embroidered with dragon patterns. The actor must be familiar with his position on the stage, and various commonly used fixed formation changes. In addition, he must be familiar with all kinds of tunes. because the main function of dragon set is to set off the protagonist or the development of the story, it is generally called "running dragon set" if you help others, do chores or run errands, do some unimportant work or play unimportant roles.
