"Hometown of the Chinese Jade Dragon" staged a stilt parade with thousands of people. Stilts are a type of ancient Chinese opera.
They have appeared as early as the Spring and Autumn Period. Performers tie long pieces of wood to their feet to walk, jump and dance with swords. After the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the characters on stilts had real names and plots, and the performers used movements to embody the plot. The stilts also had living characters and stories, making it a veritable stilt show.
