The villagers of Sanzao perform lion dances and crane dances from the first day of the Lunar New Year to the seventh day of the Lunar New Year. On New Year's Eve, the newly tied white cranes are covered with red and flowers, and the respected elders open the eyes of the white cranes to show their spiritual power (use a new brush to dot the eyes with cinnabar). The crane dance imitates the actions of the white crane: combing feathers, looking for food, drinking water, flying, resting, squatting on the side and listening to the crane song. The crane song is an important part of the crane dance. It is composed and sung by yourself, in groups of four sentences, with no limit on the length. As long as you want, you can continue to sing. If you don't want to sing, according to convention, the singer only needs to sing one sentence "fly up to the sky with all feathers", and the crane song will end. The lyrics praise social development, good people and good deeds, persuade people to be kind, and teach people to make progress, which has the function of educating and entertaining.
