Led by Qin Yude, Vice Dean of the College of Teacher Education (Physical Education), and under the joint careful guidance of coaches Luo Xiwen and Ye Ting, the university’s Loong and Lion Dance Team performed with neat movements and tacit cooperation. The loong dance soared and circled with great momentum, while the lion dance climbed high and jumped over tables in a neat and neat manner. Every movement demonstrated solid training foundation and strong team cohesion.

This Yangtze River Delta Loong and Lion Open Competition is not only a high-level sports event, but also an in-depth collision of cultural exchanges in the Yangtze River Delta region. It serves as a link to activate regional cultural inheritance and promote the coordinated development of culture and sports in the Yangtze River Delta.
