Nanmudu Town is located on the border of Zunyi and has been influenced by Bashu culture since ancient times. Dragon lanterns and flower lanterns have a long history. There was a custom of celebrating the Lantern Festival with dragon lanterns and flower lanterns in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and gradually lantern dramas were formed. According to the "Draft of Kaiyang County Chronicles" of the Republic of China, during the Ming and Qing Dynasties, temples such as the Peacock Temple, Yuntai Temple and Makua Temple were built in Nanmudu, and there were also theaters. Lantern operas were usually performed in the first month of the lunar year or during festivals, and gradually formed the custom of lighting lanterns on the eighth day of the first lunar month and collecting them on the fifteenth day, that is, "On the evening of the eighth day of the lunar month, there is the so-called lantern lighting event. Lanterns can be divided into dragon lanterns and flower lanterns. Dragon lanterns are made of paper and bamboo in the shape of a dragon, with a red cloth covering its head. The bamboo is split into a width of one finger and seven or eight inches long, and then split into four inches to make clips. Paper is twisted and braided to clip it, and it is poured with oil, called straw sandals. It is burned and inserted into the dragon lantern. One dragon is called a shed. Flower lanterns are made of paper in the shape of squares, hexagons, octagonal shapes, or in the shape of fish or shrimp. One person dressed as a man, holding a towel, is called Tang Er; one person dressed as a woman, holding a Fan, called lazy sister-in-law, both step on the dance, called dancing lanterns until the fifteenth night, called closing the lanterns. It can be seen that the grand occasion of lanterns and dragon lanterns was unprecedented during the Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China. There are dragon lanterns in every village in Nanmudu Town, and most villages have lanterns and lantern festivals. The lantern festival organizes lantern and dragon playing activities on time every year in the first month of the year. From 1996 to 1998, the town government held a large-scale dragon lantern art festival for three consecutive years, and the dragon lanterns of Nanmudu have been famous inside and outside the province since then; since 2000, the county has held various sports games and various tourism and cultural activities every year, and there are lanterns and dragon lanterns participating, and they have been invited to participate in important provincial and municipal activities many times.
