Introduction to the Bench Dragon: The "Shagou Segment Bench Dragon" dance originated from the temple fair. Men, women, old and young in the town came to the temple to burn incense and kowtow. When worshiping, everyone always brought an "incense bench" to kowtow, which is called "Kowtow to the incense". Every time people kowtow and stand up, they find that the small stools on the ground are curved and resemble the shape of dragons. People associate this phenomenon with Dongyue Bodhisattva as the incarnation of a divine dragon, and think it is a divine dragon. The creation of God and the manifestation of dragon. To this day, the magical story of "Li Zhaolong, who can make dragons" has been circulated among the people in Shagou.
