What is the source of the hydrangea in front of the dragon dance?

The custom of dragon dancing is a legacy of worshipping heaven in Yin and Zhou Dynasties. Dragons are usually regarded as auspicious things by the ancients and appear in celebrations and sacrifices. Dragon dance contains the ancient people's good wishes of "peace and prosperity" and also means "praying for the New Year".

The dragon body of dragon dance is tied into a dragon head, a dragon body and a dragon tail with bamboo sticks, ranging from 3 knots to 10 knots, and the number of knots is mostly odd. Festivals are connected with 100 ~ 170 cm silk, and then Jackie Chan's image is colored. There are lighted lamps and candles in each festival, and wooden handles are installed under the festival, which can be held when dancing. So it is also commonly known as playing dragon lanterns. Lantern Festival began in the early Han Dynasty and flourished in the Tang and Song Dynasties. It is one of the traditional folk cultural activities in China.
