In 2009, He Zhican was named as the representative inheritor of municipal intangible culture by Chongqing Municipal Government. Caobalang originated from Lirang Town, liangping county, Chongqing, with a history of 1000 years. Whenever there is a drought, local villagers will gather together, set up workshops to pray for rain, dance grass dragons made of straw, sprinkle water on the grass dragons to moisten their bodies, pray for rain in Wolong to nourish everything and bless the local crops. Nowadays, it has gradually evolved into a fitness and entertainment activity from a ritual of praying to God to drive away the plague and prevent fire and rain.
It is said that 1000 years ago, Liangping had a suitable climate and abundant crops. Helpless, it hasn't rained in summer for several years, and the river has been cut off. The crops failed and the people were miserable. In order to pray for heavy rain, people tied straw in the grass to make Jackie Chan. On the eighth day of the fourth lunar month, a Taoist priest was invited to set up an altar to pray for rain. Perhaps people's sincerity touched the sky. At that time, when the hot sun receded, there were dark clouds everywhere, and a waterspout shaped like a straw immediately took off. In an instant, thunder and lightning, pouring rain. In order to appreciate the gift of the dragon, the villagers sprinkled water on the grass dragon on their way back from praying for rain. Year after year, day after day, the folk custom of praying for dragons and rain is gradually enriched and passed down from generation to generation.
Polite grass makes dragons different. The whole Longquan is made of straw, and each section of the dragon body is like a straw handle. In the early morning, people are praying for rain all around, cleaning grass dragons with gongs and drums and suona, followed by offerings. In the middle of each room, there is a basin of water and a sieve of whole grains to welcome the dragon dance team. The dragon dance team, led by Tu Laosi, started from the first village head and entered every room from top to bottom. After that, the faucet nodded three times to the shrine of the room, and then circled the room, dancing all kinds of tricks. After all the families danced, they took the dragon and the charcoal fire boat to the stream and burned them. Dancing the dragon and moving the flame is to let the dragon move Vulcan out of the village to avoid fire and ensure peace. When dancing the grass dragon, the dancers are all shirtless and have all kinds of skills and movements. Wherever the dragon went, onlookers poured water on it, and the dancers were soaked to the skin.
