Is bench dragon a Hakka custom in Ganzhou?

Not really, but there are also people who dance bench dragons in Ganzhou (I saw them on Hakka Cultural Heritage Day). The representative dragon dance custom of Hakkas is incense dragon! The incense dragon in Longnan is characterized by using straw to form a grass dragon, and the dragon head and tail are each inserted with special thick incense, and six people and two people take turns to take charge respectively. The dragon body can grow to hundreds of sections, each section is filled with 25 sticks of coarse incense, and some of them are added with materials that are easy to scatter sparks, such as bark of Ke. Under the dense night background, all the coarse incense is ignited, and a long incense dragon is formed, which is sparkling and colorful. Coupled with folk instrumental music, gongs and drums, the incense dragon prances in the village square or field path, stretching for one or two miles, which is particularly spectacular.
