The
Dragon Dance originates all the way back to the Sui and Tang Dynasties
(581-906 AD) and since then, it has evolved from a ritual of religious
worship to a public performance invoking generous spirits and
good fortune for everyone. The dragon mask may be gold, green,
multicolored, or fiery red. The dragon can be anywhere from 9
to 24 sections long. Each section measures 5 to 6½ feet long.
This ritual can be performed during the day or night.
