Mazhuang Dragon Lantern

According to the public notice of January 2024, Mazhuang Dragon Lantern is an extended project in the recommended list for the fourth batch of district-level intangible cultural heritage items. Its category is traditional dance and its applicant unit is the Shiqiu Subdistrict Office. The item title carries the name Mazhuang, so the place of transmission is presumably in the Mazhuang area of Shiqiu Subdistrict.

Entry to be expanded. This is a skeleton entry: at present it guarantees only that the fields and sources are complete. Still to be added: the frame-making craft and materials of the lantern, the way the light source is fixed inside it, the dates of the lantern procession and the route it follows, the instruments and the size of the performing group, the historical origin and the line of transmission, and the name and level of the parent item on which this extended project depends (not stated in the notice). Until then, no unverified details will be entered.
