Recently, in the Party and Mass Service Center of Longbao Village, Dongao Town, Wanning City, many villagers in this village are surrounding the faucets that have been painted in various colors to carry out various kinds of work such as electric welding and reinforcement, and are preparing to make a characteristic dragon.
At the same time, Xincun Village, Dongao Town, is also making a 138-meter-long green dragon. "At present, we are stepping up the work, and it will definitely be done before the Dragon Boat Festival." Lin Donggui, secretary of the party branch of the village, introduced.
It is understood that in order to carry forward the traditional culture of the Chinese dragon and promote the development of local recreational fisheries, all the villagers of Longbao Village and Xincun Village, Dongao Town, Wanning City, raised funds on their own, as well as with the donations of people from all walks of life, relying on the advantages of local Laoye Sea resources, respectively, invested in the construction of dragons, and built Dragon Boat Festival characteristics by assembling the dragon on fishing boats, and held water dragon activities during the Dragon Boat Festival, which is the second session this year.
Among them, Longbao Village has invested more than 60 yuan for two consecutive years to build a dragon with a total length of nearly 130 meters, with a dragon head width of 4.5 meters, a height of 8.5 meters, a length of 8.5 meters, and a dragon body length of 118 meters. The dragon is originally designed by the villagers of this village, and through their own mechanical equipment, the dragon head, dragon body, and dragon tail can be operated by remote control or manual operation to carry out activities such as swinging, spraying, spraying, and spitting beads. Xincun Village has also invested about 500,000 yuan to upgrade to build a giant dragon that can swing, move, and shine with various brilliance, with a dragon head about 4.3 meters high and 2.6 meters wide. Once completed, the two dragons will be connected together by fishing boats to become a featured dragon boat.

"Longbao Village and Xincun Village have been fishermen for generations, relying on the old man's sea to fish and raise fish, and they have always worshiped the Dragon King to pray for blessings. In recent years, with the strengthening of environmental protection measures in the small sea basin to which Lao Yehai belongs, and the promotion of pond retreat, many of the original fish ponds and fish rafts in Lao Yehai have also been cleaned up and restored to a good ecology. On this basis, in order to explore the employment of fishermen and the transformation of the fishing industry, the two villages began to build characteristic dragon boats to promote the development of recreational fisheries with water dragon activities. The relevant person in charge of Dongao Town introduced.
