In Meizhou, Guangdong Province, daring dancers fearlessly navigated their way through cascading sparks to make ten "fire dragons" majestically "fly" amid a dazzling display of fireworks. As an iconic, centuries-old tradition of Lantern Festival celebrations, the Puzhai fire dragon dance was recognized as a national intangible cultural heritage of China in 2008. This ritual not only captivates with its dazzling performance but also carries a profound meaning, symbolizing good wishes for favorable weather and abundant harvests for the local community.
