Connotation and significance of social fire performance

The performance of social fire and the folk custom of "burning incense" (temple fair custom) are like twin sisters, just as the folk proverb says: "Social fire entertains God, burning incense entertains people". Its meaning is profound and its taste is long.

Shehuo is a traditional carnival in China to celebrate the Spring Festival. It is also the general name of Gao Tai, stilts, dry boat, lion dance, dragon dance and yangko, and the specific forms vary from region to region.

Folk social fire has a long history, mysterious and profound cultural connotation and grand scene, which has been widely concerned by academic circles and has become the highlight of Han folk activities during the Spring Festival. The reform and opening up has brought new vitality to the folk art of social fire, which has been carried forward and become a traditional cultural activity of the Han people.
