### English Translation Title: Huangzhong Community Fire Celebrates the New Spring

News Summary:
On February 20, the 2026 “Fugu Huangzhong – Hehuang New Year Festival” community‑fire (traditional folk performance) kicked off at the Duoba Xinhua Union Children’s Dream Playground in Xining, Qinghai. The Gujiaying Community‑Fire team, the first performing group, took the stage. The rhythmic beating of drums and gongs accompanied dragon and lion dances, powerful drum performances, the “Eight Immortals” blessing ritual, stilt walking, fan dances, and other traditional acts, quickly lighting up the atmosphere. The audience responded with continuous applause, and cameras captured the festive moments.

The event featured eleven community‑fire teams from Huangzhong District, performing continuously from the fourth day of the Lunar New Year through the fifteenth (with a break on the tenth day). The purpose is to inherit and promote China’s fine traditional culture. Through an immersive folk‑culture presentation, the public can experience up close the unique charm of the Hehuang region and the strong feeling of the New Year.

Thoughts and Inspiration:
Community‑fire is more than a lively performance; it serves as a bridge for neighbors and for generations. Traditional crafts, collective activities, and festive merriment help preserve the everyday warmth and mutual assistance that might otherwise fade. It requires continual care and vigilance from everyone.

Our scriptures often remind us to cherish the present and live in harmony. Bringing this simple truth into daily life means actively protecting our culture and rural bonds, allowing the spirit of the New Year to pass from one generation to the next.

Scripture: Psalm 118:24 – “This is the day that the LORD has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it.”
