Dragon Dance

Do you know the origin of the traditional dragon dance?

A long, long time ago, in a rural village, the farmers were joyfully celebrating their hard-earned harvest, but they forgot to give thanks to the heavens for the favourable weather and bountiful year. Angered by their ingratitude, the Jade Emperor commanded the Dragon King not to send a single drop of rain to the human world for the next three years!

Moved by compassion, the kind-hearted Dragon Princess secretly lent a helping hand to the suffering people. When the Jade Emperor found out, he was furious and sent heavenly soldiers down to capture her. The villagers, wanting to repay her kindness, racked their brains to find ways to rescue her.

Will the Dragon Princess escape her fate?
