- Tracing its origins to the Han dynasty (206 BCE-220 CE), the traditional dragon dance began as a ceremony for worshiping ancestors and praying for rain. It later became more of an entertainment, often performed during Chinese New Year. In Chinese culture, dragons symbolize wisdom, power, dignity, fertility, and auspiciousness, and have also become a symbol of Chinese culture itself. Odd numbers of the dragon’s joints are regarded as auspicious, so people often make an odd-numbered jointed dragon puppet. Right before the dance, the head and the tail of the dragon are connected to its body. Then, someone holding a rod with a large ball at the top leads the dragon during the dance. As the dragon follows the ball’s movement-left and right, back and forth, up and down, and thus moving in waves-it appears to be dancing.
In this video from the 2014 Smithsonian Folklife Festival program “China: Tradition and the Art of Living,” members of the Zhejiang Wu Opera troupe from Jinhua in eastern China performed the dragon dance.

An advisor of the Smithsonian Folklife Festival’s China program, who specializes in performing arts, believes the dance company created this music based on traditional tunes to fit the performance. Sorry that's all we know, bro!
