"Bang bang clank, bang bang clank..."
The main road in front of Sancha County's Morning Glory Cattle Farm stretches westward, and the dragon and lion dance team has started moving again. There are crowds of spectators, and cheers can be heard from time to time.
In recent years, as more people have gone out to work in other places, many traditional activities that were popular in rural towns have been neglected. For example, dragon and lion dances are gradually disappearing from the streets and alleys.
The reason for their disappearance is clear; as times change, certain things inevitably get lost—like the saying goes, you must lose some things to gain others.
Thankfully, in Sancha River County, these traditional programs are still preserved.
There are fewer people going out for work, and except for those who excel exceptionally, many return home only to find that their family earns more money than they do, making it hard to boast.
