In the early days, street lamps were not common in farming communities; dragon teams usually led the way with torches and visited houses one by one. Hakka people believed that if you follow the dragon, you will be able to absorb the &#8220;essence of the dragon,&#8221; which will bring good fortune; therefore, many families would bring out their lanterns and take their children to join the fun. Many years later this has evolved into the fun activity of &#8220;Following the Dragon&#8221; parade.<\/p><\/div><\/center>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Following the Dragon The Hakka people of Miaoli used th [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":598,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"elementor_header_footer","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[13],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/bombingdragon.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1040"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/bombingdragon.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/bombingdragon.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bombingdragon.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bombingdragon.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1040"}],"version-history":[{"count":12,"href":"https:\/\/bombingdragon.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1040\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1545,"href":"https:\/\/bombingdragon.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1040\/revisions\/1545"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bombingdragon.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/598"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/bombingdragon.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1040"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bombingdragon.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1040"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bombingdragon.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1040"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
