Shehuo Parade - China

Performers select props for a Shehuo parade in Beiguan Village of Longxian County, Baoji City, northwest China's Shaanxi Province, February 10, 2025. Longxian County, referred to as Long Zhou in the old days, is well-known for the local Shehuo parade featuring authentic and inclusive performance and simple yet exquisite facial make-up. The Shehuo parade, a time-honored performance enjoying widespread popularity in rural areas across China, originated from ancient sacrificial activities to pray for a good harvest about 2,000 years ago. Later on, as dancing and singing performances were absorbed into the parade, it gradually evolved into a folk custom staged during the Spring Festival and Lantern Festival, believed to remove bad luck and bring a fresh start in the new year. The Shehuo folk performance in Baoji made it onto the list of China's national intangible cultural heritage in 2006.
