Terraced fields cascade down the mountainside, where a fiery dragon dances through the night. In Longsheng County, the Shuyang Festival has lived on for over a thousand years. As the Grain in Ear arrives, villagers toil in the paddies by day; as night falls, torches flicker to life, coiling like a dragon along the mountain ridges. Local women carry torches as they tread across the terraces, where starlight meets firelight, illuminating a season of labor and a harvest of hopes.
