摘要
农历正月十八，对于宁海县长街镇西岙来说，是一年当中最热闹的一天，因为这一天是有着干年历史的西岙古村“正月十八行大龙过大年”的日子。在西岙村风俗里，春节是过“小年”，正月十八才是过“大年”。早在南宋时，西岙就有了“十八夜抬龙”的习俗，这一奇特的习俗在西岙村已沿袭了约750年，成为当地特色习俗保护的典范。西岙“行大龙”最大的看点是两条巨型龙灯，融竹编、木雕、彩绘等传统工艺于一体，形态逼真。“行大龙”最初游走在田头，祈求庄稼长势，而今“行大龙”贝祈愿风调嗣愤、吉祥如意。
As for Xi＇ao, Changjie Town, Ninghai County, the 18th Day of the first lunar month is the busiest day of the year because in the custom of Xi＇ao Village, the spring festival is the ＂small＂ New Year while the 18th day of the first lunar month is the ＂big＂ New Year. Dating back to the Southern Song Dynasty, the custom of ＂performing dragon dance in the night of the 18th day of the first lunar month＂ has come into being in Xi＇ao. The highlight of ＂dragon dance performance＂ is the two huge life-like dragons which blend several traditional arts, such as bamboo weaving, wood carving and color drawing.
