The crane dance and crane song in Sanzao have been passed down for more than 600 years. Since the settlement and village construction, the residents of Haicheng Village and Central Village in Sanzao Town have danced white cranes and sung crane songs every Lunar New Year. According to Baopuzi, red-crowned cranes can live to be 100 years old. Therefore, people often regard cranes as a symbol of longevity and compare them with green pines, using "pine and crane prolong life" and "pine age and crane longevity" to symbolize longevity. At the same time, cranes are endowed with the connotation of noble emotions and have become a symbol of noble sentiments and far-reaching ambitions of celebrities. The purpose of dancing white cranes and singing crane songs in the New Year is to pray for good weather, peace and prosperity, good harvests, and good fisheries in the coming year, and also to pray for the people who dance the cranes and the people who watch them to be strong, healthy and long-lived. This is people's good wishes! Before liberation, the New Year celebration activities of dancing white cranes and singing crane songs in Sanzao were held from the first day of the Lunar New Year to the Lantern Festival. After liberation, in order to meet the needs of agricultural and fishery production, it was changed to start from the first day of the Lunar New Year and end on the seventh day. It can be done both during the day and at night. Before dancing white cranes and singing crane songs to celebrate the New Year in every household, all male villagers under the age of 36 must send a red card to their elders over the age of 36 in the same clan. The card states that a crane will descend on a certain day or night, and other blessing words such as congratulations on the New Year, to show respect for the elderly and wish them health and longevity. The movements of the crane dance are light and agile, imitating the movements of white cranes fishing, flying, playing, singing, and resting. The crane songs have melodious tones, and the content is healthy, elegant, and auspicious. Most of them praise social development, good people and good deeds, persuade people to be kind, and teach people to make progress. They have the function of combining education with entertainment. Many adults ask children to listen to the teachings of the crane songs. Dancing white cranes and singing crane songs are accompanied by drums, gongs, and cymbals. The sound is loud and thick, creating a festive atmosphere. (No pictures yet, welcome to provide.) (No pictures yet, welcome to provide.)
