Yimei Community Flower Basket Spring Festival Team was established in June 2009.

Performers sometimes carry flower baskets on their shoulders and tread lightly with the beat. From time to time, the flower basket is held high with both hands, and various dance steps are performed to drive the flower basket to fly up and down, expressing the joy of farmers' harvest.

The surname of the highest descent in Germany

Taibo was praised by Confucius as "the supreme virtue", and Taibo's original surname was "Ji". According to textual research, Ji's surname is Zhide's surname. There are more than 2,400 surnames of Zhou and Ji, and 347 surnames of Wu, Hong, Zhou and Cai are still in use. From Taibo Second Society to the German team, they are all descendants of Taibo, which means that Meicun will actively carry forward the splendid national culture of the Chinese nation, rely on China's "German" culture, and closely follow the theme of the times.

12 Chinese zodiac signs

The Chinese Zodiac, also known as the China Zodiac, is a dozen animals used by some ethnic groups in China and East Asia to indicate the year of birth, which matches the Chinese Zodiac in China. Each zodiac has rich legends, forming a system of conceptual interpretation and becoming an image philosophy in folk culture, such as the zodiac in marriage, temple wishes, animal year and so on. Smart mouse, strong cow, white-fronted tiger, long-legged rabbit, green snake, white horse, sword-horn sheep, red-faced monkey, colorful chicken, flower-tailed dog and big-eared pig symbolize the traditional virtues of Meili people, such as wisdom, diligence and simplicity.
