Wenzhou, Zhejiang: Fully Supports New Year Folk Activities

During the Spring Festival of the Year of the Horse this year, the Yangfu Palace in Jingtou Village, Longgang, carried out a series of activities such as the New Year blessing prayers and "Taiping Dragon Welcoming the New Year" intangible cultural heritage-themed custom experience. On the day of reunion of thousands of families and bidding farewell to the past year, the power supply team of State Grid Wenzhou Power Supply Company sticked to their posts, carrying out special inspections on electricity safety and temporary lighting electricity guarantee work. They secured the smooth operation of local folk activities with reliable electricity, and insured the power safety of the new year with responsibility and perseverance.

The Yangfu Palace is renown as an important place for citizens in southern Wenzhou to pray for blessings during the Chinese New Year period, especially on crucial days such as the New Year's Eve, the fifth day of the year, and the Lantern Festival. The folk activity "Taiping Dragon Welcoming the New Year" is a provincial-level intangible cultural heritage in Zhejiang Province, which has been enduring for thousands of years. Wherever the "Taiping Dragon" team goes, the sound of drums and music fills the sky, and the audience is like a tide. It is not only a commitment to the cultural genes of a thousand years, but also carries the beautiful wishes of Wenzhou people for peace in the world and the country, and for the wellbeing of people.

In order to fully ensure the uninterrupted power supply during the event, State Grid Wenzhou Power Supply Company has planned and deployed in advance, formed a special power protection team, and conducted a comprehensive examination of the power supply lines and distribution equipment in the Yangfu Palace and surrounding areas. The power protection personnel were on duty throughout the event site, setting up lighting lighthouses and deploying tethered lighting drones to add brightness and warmth to the lively event, and providing strong power guarantee for citizens who were enjoying the safe and peaceful Chinese New Year.
