What is the Hangzhou Asian Games and traditional culture?

The traditional culture of Hangzhou is as follows.

The entertainment activities of the Spring Festival in old Hangzhou are generally gongs and drums, kites, dragon lanterns and fireworks. The so-called gongs and drums are also called New Year gongs and drums. In addition to big gongs and drums, crisp drums, small gongs and bamboo boards were added. The gongs and drums are mostly used by businesses within the fifth day of the first month; During the Mid-Autumn Festival, every household in Hangzhou goes to Yue Bai in the evening, offering seasonal foods such as moon cakes, square persimmons and chestnuts. Sacrificing the moon is to set up a stage, put on record and light incense in the yard. If there are accompanying documents, rap ancient and modern books, make up seven sentences, and one person plays the string to sing; From July to August every year, the main activities of the West Lake Lotus Festival include: viewing lotus flowers, picking lotus petals, peeling lotus seeds, cooking lotus rice, listening to folk operas, lighting lotus lanterns to pray for blessings, Miss Lotus Photo Model Contest in West Lake, and lotus variety exhibition.
