Yangdian Town is the "hometown of dragon lanterns". Yangdian Dragon Lantern, called "Yangdian Gao Long" by Xiaogan, is the second batch of intangible cultural heritage in Xiaogan and the third batch in Hubei.
From the twelfth lunar month every year, bamboo pieces are used to tie dragon lanterns, dragons' bodies, dragons' tails and embroidered dragons' clothes; Tie the dragon head and dragon tail with colored paper, and connect the colored dragon head, dragon body and dragon tail to form a complete dragon lantern. The whole dragon lantern has thirteen sections, the dragon body is connected by eleven bamboo lanterns, and the faucet and dragon tail are thirteen sections. On the twelfth night of the first month, a dragon lantern opening ceremony was held. On the thirteenth day of the first month, people went out to the temple and cheered. Each dragon lantern goes through the narrow old street of Yangdian for activities, and there are incense tables in front of every house to welcome Long Bin. On the fourteenth day of the first month, lanterns are worshipped, and each dragon lantern worships the masses in its own bay, expressing New Year wishes and representing good luck. On the fifteenth day of the first month, play with lanterns and colored lights; Onlookers followed the dragon lantern to their respective harbors. At night 12, men, women and children in the bay went into battle together, burning dragon lanterns, called colorful lanterns, and sending them to the sky, accompanied by gongs, drums and firecrackers.
The composition of Gao Long in Yangdian is bamboo, wood, cloth and colored paper. Dragon clothes are generally made of five colors: yellow, blue, white, red and black, which are said to represent five elements: gold, wood, water, fire and earth. Candles are burning in the dragon lantern, and the dragon dancers shorten the distance between the sections in sequence, hold the dragon's feet with both hands, and the dragon ball is commanded by one person at the faucet, swinging from head to tail like a dragon leaping, with great momentum and spectacular scenes. Its cultural connotation is very rich, such as the dragon coming out of the hole, 3: 01, worshipping the four directions, drilling the hole, turning over on the ground, pouring water from the dragon and so on. And slow dance is graceful and lyrical; When dancing fast, it is unrestrained and unique, with strong local characteristics, and the music used in Qupai is festive and beautiful, with strong artistic appeal.

Dongpo Pavilion is located in Gudun, Dongfang Village, Yangdian.
According to the Records of Xiaogan County (Kangxi Edition), Volume XV, Anecdotes and Monuments (V), it is recorded that "Dongpo Pavilion is in Yangjiadian, five miles east of the county, and Su Dongpo crosses Huangzhou. Later, there was a saying,' One dream in five years, Nansizhou'. Today, the pavilion is abandoned and the address still exists. " According to the research on the evolution of Xiaogan County Records (5), "Southern Qi is divided into the north and south of Yiyang County, and Xiaochang belongs to South Yiyang County." At that time, Yangdian was under the jurisdiction of Xiaochang County, meaning "Nansizhou". "The pavilion is abandoned, but the address is still there." The address is the ancient pier south of Yangdian Town. According to expert archaeology, there are "Longshan culture" remains here, and stone tools and Western Zhou bronzes have been unearthed. According to legend, there was a "Southeast Temple" in ancient times, which was once the place where Tang Zong stationed troops, and the descendants of Yang Jiajiang in the Northern Song Dynasty became monks here. When Su Dongpo passed by, peach blossoms blossomed everywhere. He talked with monks about poetry, drinking and playing chess, and riding horses in the Peach Blossom Garden. As a result, "Peach Blossom Post" became another name for "Doosan Store". Later generations built a pavilion here to commemorate, but there is still an ancient plaque "Dongpo Pavilion". In 2005, the masses raised 20,000 yuan, and the village girl Qin Zhou and her husband Zhang Zizhou personally donated 20,000 yuan to rebuild Dongpo Pavilion, and Zhou Xingze, the father of Qin Zhou, personally designed and guided the construction.

From taking soil to looking for a post, I bow to the basket and hoe, and I hold the earth and stone with my skirt. I stayed in Taiwan Province for 80 years and became a public pawn. " "Therefore, the city remembers the filial son cloud, and the platform is at the edge of Houjia Temple, with an inscription."
