Zhongshan Drunken Dragon, also known as "Shearing Dragon" and "Zhuanlong", originated in Changzhou Village in the west district of the city. It is named after its "drunk and hazy" state when dancing. This spontaneous impromptu dance is a unique Han folk art in Zhongshan. In September 2004, the Zhongshan Municipal Culture Bureau declared Zuilong to the Provincial Department of Culture and Finance as a key protection object. In 2008, Zuilong was successfully applied for provincial and national heritage status. The old man Huang Zhuogen was also designated as the inheritor of Zuilong.
Drunk Dragon is a Han folk dance unique to Zhongshan City in ancient times. It originated from Changzhou Village in the West District of Zhongshan City. Every year on the eighth day of the fourth lunar month, a Drunken Dragon Parade is held after the Buddha Bathing Festival. The original Drunken Dragon Dance was a dance in which the dragon's head and tail were randomly danced during the dragon worship process, which was called "turning the dragon". It later developed into a prop dance. During the dance, if the dragon dancer is slightly awake, the person holding the wine cup will force him to drink wine from the side, making sure that the dragon dancer is drunk and dances.
The Drunken Dragon Dance in Macau is organized by fish traders, who are closed on the eighth and ninth day of April. Participants first held a consecration ceremony at the Sanjie Hall. The dancers drink rice wine to make themselves drunk, while holding wooden dragon heads and tails and dancing around various districts.
