A little bit more on the Chinese New Year… January 26, 2009 Dragon dances are performed at the Chinese New Year with dragon puppets. It is believed that the loud beats of the drum and the cymbals together with the face of the dragon dancing aggressively can scare away bad or evil spirits. During the dance the performers hold poles and raise and lower the Dragon. The puppets vary in length but the longer ones are said to be more lucky than the shorter ones.
