In southeastern China’s Fujian Province, residents of Liancheng County celebrate the arrival of the New Year with a unique Hakka folk custom known as “Pulling Dragons.” On the night of the fourth day of the first lunar month, which falls on February 13th, villagers from Wuguo Village and Tiancha Village in Siming Town carried beautifully decorated dragon lanterns, running and parading through the streets and alleys in this manner, seeking good fortune and blessings for the new year.
“Pulling Dragons” is a Hakka traditional folk custom that embodies the wisdom and emotions of the Hakka people. The dragon, composed of numerous lanterns, represents each family or group. Villagers collectively lift and pull the long dragon, symbolizing unity and the pursuit of a better life. Under the night sky, the dragon tumbles in the brilliance of the lanterns, resembling a real dragon descending to the world, with an awe-inspiring presence.
This activity not only enriches the cultural atmosphere of the local New Year but also becomes a major attraction drawing tourists to Liancheng County. Tourists compete to witness this grand scene and join in the festive celebration, sharing the joy of this traditional holiday with the local people.
