Brief introduction about camel dance:
Camel dance is a traditional folk activity in Tuodong Village, Shantou, Guangdong Province. Although a village has never seen camels, it has passed down a local traditional culture called "Camel Dance" from generation to generation for hundreds of years, and it still has strong vitality and influence.
Yunlu Camel Dance uses bamboo as the frame, palm skin as camel fur, two well-trained and vigorous young people drill into the camel, another young man who acts as a camel slave pulls the rope, and three people dance with the rhythm of drums. In the dance, there are meanings such as "auspicious camels are blessed" and "auspicious camels are abundant".
Camel props are made of bamboo boards and iron wires. Palm, an ancient material for hemp fiber, is laid on the model layer by layer, and the outline of camel's body is outlined vividly. The residents of Yunlu pay special attention to details. The tail of camel props they made can swing flexibly, and the upper and lower jaws can be opened and closed freely. Especially, the white teeth make the camel's emotional expression vivid in the performance and add a bit of "cute" meaning.
