People dance colorful dragons made of bamboo and iron ligation and silk or cloth to express their happy mood. Through continuous processing and manufacturing by folk artists, "playing Dragon Lantern" has developed into a kind of folk dance art with perfect form, considerable performance skills and romantic color, which is deeply loved by the masses. Shishi town is the location of the old district. The people of the old district inherit the tradition of "playing Dragon Lantern". Every Spring Festival or important festival, activities such as playing Dragon Lantern are carried out, and the dragon lantern Association of Shishi town is established.

There are two kinds of "dragon lantern playing" performances: "single dragon playing with beads" and "double dragon playing with beads". The dragon body is composed of many sections, each of which is about five feet apart. The first section is called Yigou. The "Festival" of dragon body is usually singular. (as in verses 9, 11, and 13). The main part is also divided into different weights, with a general weight of more than 30 jin. In the dragon ball, those who light candles are called "dragon lantern", while those who don't light them are called "Bulong".

In the way of playing, the styles are different and each has its own characteristics. The most common movements are: Dragon roam, dragon head drill crotch (wear flowers), head and tail drill, dragon swing tail and snake back skin. In dragon playing, no matter what kind of tricks are performed, performers have to start with broken steps. The main performance of the dragon in the 11th and 13th Festival is the dragon's chasing the red jewel, flying and jumping. Sometimes it is towering, like flying into the clouds; sometimes it is low, like breaking the waves into the sea, winding and moving. It is really beautiful.
