The Water Dragon Festival of Luodai has been celebrated for many years in Loodai Ancient Town in Chengdu. There is Hakka dragon dance in Luodai every year.
There is a story about Luodai. In the Three Kingdoms period (三国时期). Liu Adou accidentally dropped his jade belt (玉带) into a well (井) in the town. Adou asked his servant to pick the jade belt from the well. Surprisingly, it began to rain when the servant was looking for the belt in the well. It stopped raining when he stopped that. Finally, the town was called Luodai.
The Hakka connected the dragon dance with the story to wish for rain in Luodai. Then the Hakka danced water dragon and washed the well to thank god for rain and harvest(丰收) every year. It has become a tradition in Luodai.
The Water Dragon Festival usually starts from the end of July to the end of August. During the time, there will be many kinds of water dragon activities every weekend. The dragon dance usually starts at two o'clock in the afternoon and lasts for about two hours. The dragon dance of the Liu family is the most famous one. The water dragon flies up and down in the streets. People splash(泼洒) water on the dragon dancers. People play with water together happily. Adults, children, Chinese, foreigners, men and women splash water on each other. Hakkas regard water as good luck and they splash water on others to wish others good luck. Laughter is everything.
