As the saying goes, "After eight years is a year, less than fifteen is not finished." ”
After the Lantern Festival, children will start school, and adults will also have to go to work. The new year of hard work has "officially" begun.
For the residents of Zhao Zhuang Community in Dazhou Town, this Lantern Festival is different from previous years.
28 benches set up a "high platform": "Today's black performance 'Lion on the High Platform'!" ”
On the afternoon of January 15, a "high platform" was erected in the center of Zhaozhuang Community Square.
This high platform is made of 28 benches, with a total of 14 floors and a height of about 8 meters, which is particularly conspicuous in the square.
Before it was dark, gaotai attracted many residents of Zhao Zhuang to ask: "What is the purpose of building this platform?" ”
"Today's black performance 'Lion on the High Stage'!" Liu Shunqing, secretary of the Zhao Zhuang Community Party Branch, answered crisply and neatly.
The "high platform" in the middle of Zhaozhuang Community Square.
At the entrance of the square, 24 "electronic salutes" are ready to go.
Big red lanterns hang high on the promenade of the square.
Under the high stage, the little actor playing the tiger is changing his costume.
Lion dances, guessing lantern riddles, fancy Lantern Festival
At 6:30 p.m., a gong sounded, and the program began: there were eight daughters-in-law of the pig, there was "mother-in-law you street"...
But the most conspicuous and eye-catching is the "lion on the high platform", on the 8-meter high platform, the lion dance of the two is like walking on the ground.
Li Chengxin, the foreman of the lion dance troupe from Shigu Town, introduced that unlike the lion dance in traditional celebrations, their lion dance is "martial lion", and to dance well is not only bold, but also high!
On the high platform, the lion dance is majestic on all sides.
The red lanterns hanging high in the corridor of the square also came in handy at this time, and it turned out that each lantern had a riddle hidden in it, and you could win a prize - a small lantern by answering the riddle.
In the long corridor, two "little sisters" are inspecting the riddle.
Outside the long corridor, Ms. Duan's family, who had solved the riddle, received a prize lantern.
"In the future, such activities will definitely be more and better in our community!"
Zhaozhuang is adjacent to the industrial agglomeration area of Dazhou Town, and the vast majority of residents are engaged in the non-ferrous metal industry.
With the development of the non-ferrous metal industry in Dazhou Town, Zhaozhuang has been an economically strong village for nearly three decades.
"There are more than 200 large and small enterprises in the whole Zhaozhuang, and almost every household has a factory." Liu Shunqing proudly introduced.
After the economic development, how to use human settlement environment improvement and cultural products to improve the quality of life of residents has become a problem to be solved by Zhao Zhuang.
In recent years, through the construction of roads and squares, the residents of Zhaozhuang community have great confidence in the environment in the village.
"Whether it is building roads or building squares and gardens, not to mention how much stronger than other villages, at least not bad!" Resident Xue Xiaohu said proudly.
The corner of Zhao Zhuang Community Square, decorated with colored lights, is both beautiful and atmospheric.
But in Zhao Zhuang, such a cultural performance is still the first time.
Liu Shunqing recalled: In the past, Zhao Zhuang had two lively times a year, one was the first Lunar New Year, and then the fifth temple fair in early February. In recent years, affected by the epidemic, temple fairs have been suspended, and the New Year has also lacked some "New Year's flavor" due to the prohibition of firecrackers.
"In the past year, when the epidemic and the flood were combined, we felt the need to carry out an activity, which is not only to enrich the cultural life of residents, but also to be lively and lively, to rush the joy and make a good start to the New Year." Liu Shunqing said, "This year is the first time, in the future such activities our community will definitely do more and better!" ”
