Zhou Keji, Director-General of the Organizing Committee of the Olympic Dragon Dance Performance, said that, unlike previous performances of Tongliang Dragon Dance, more than 100 performers were young people, aged 45 and 17 years younger. They were composed of school music and sports teachers, amateur athletes and party and government officials. Experts explained that the traditional Tongliang Dragon Dance is simple and easy to perform. Old people with rich experience in performing can complete it. However, the difficulty and taste of the performance are different from those in the past, which requires high strength and cultural accomplishment.

    Teams participating in the performance adopt the off-line training method. They practice 6 to 7 hours a day and dance the dragon body about 1000 times. The entire performance team has entered a relatively backward sprint. "The rehearsal was very hard. The number of dragons danced more than 1000 times a day. Injuries and illnesses were common in the rehearsal process, and dozens of boxes of bandages were used. Since April 2, at the dragon dance training base in Tongliang County Stadium, more than 100 dragon dancers persist in hard training every day, even in hot weather, they have not reduced their enthusiasm. Because, in the hearts of these dragon dancers, there is a common belief: in the upcoming opening ceremony of the Beijing Olympic Games, the performance task is successfully completed, showing the grandeur of Bayu culture. In order to prepare for the performance before the opening ceremony of the Beijing Olympic Games, Tonglianglong's elegance and the grandeur of Bayu culture will be perfectly displayed in the Olympic Games. The Tonglianglong Dance Team is strict in every technical movement, and the training of its members is also very hard. Tongliang Dragon Dance Team member Zeng Lingguo told reporters: "We start at 7 o'clock every morning, run three laps on the 400-meter track in the stadium, and then practice fast dragon dance. We have to wave our arms more than 2,000 times, once in the morning and once in the afternoon." Daily high intensity training made many Tongliang dragon dance players wear blood bubbles on their hands. After training, they bought a dozen band aids and wrapped them up. Wang Gang, a member of the team, injured his thigh muscles and got swollen, but he did not take a minute off. After spraying Yunnan Baiyao, he went into training again. Wang Ji, a member of the team, broke his left ankle and kept training with plaster. Longyi, a white-skinned female dancer, has become a "black peony" after four months of open-air training in the hot sun. She told me with a smile that although she has become an oil black now, as long as she can dance a good dragon and do her part for the country and her hometown of Chongqing, it is worth it."
