When is Binyang Fireworks Dragon Boat Festival in Guangxi?

The Fireworks Dragon Boat Festival in Binyang County, Guangxi is held on the first day of the first month of each year. On this day, dragons and firecrackers were everywhere in the old street, which was very spectacular.

It often takes a day and a night to finish dancing in the street.

Binyang County Records does not record the origin of the Dragon Running Festival. Some people say that it began in the Qing Dynasty, and it has a history of more than 300 years, from the three brothers Lu in Guangdong to the town of Binyang. Residents of Binyang Sanlian Community believe that Baolong Festival originated in their community. During the agricultural uprising in the Northern Song Dynasty, Sanliandou District was the seat of Binyang House. At that time, the officers and men fought fiercely with the rebels but failed. So the officers and men designed: on the eleventh day of the first month, firecrackers and lanterns were set up in the whole city to celebrate the Lantern Festival ahead of schedule. Nong Kochi was confused and let his guard down. The result was defeated by the officers and men. Since then, the eleventh day of the first month has become the Dragon Boat Festival for local residents.
