ORIGIN OF TAI HANG FIRE DRAGON DANCE
According to the oral history, there was a python guzzling much of the livestock across the Tai Hang village right before the Mid-Autumn Festival. The python was finally killed by the villagers. However, a plague then followed, taking with it many livers. The villagers believed the plague was a revenge from the python, which was actually the son of the Dragon King. A village elder claimed that Guanyin revealed to him in a dream that there was a way to end the plague by performing a fire dragon dance and letting off firecrackers around the Tai Hang village. The villagers did so and miraculously the plague disappeared. Hence, they kept performing Fire Dragon Dance every year afterwards.

火龍緣起
相傳於1880年中秋節前夕，一條巨大蟒蛇捕殺了大坑所有禽畜，最後被村民消滅。蟒蛇屍體於翌日離奇失蹤，而村內隨即發生瘟疫，多名村民染病身亡。有傳此蟒蛇為龍王之子，特意降疫報仇。其後一名老村民聲稱得到觀音菩薩報夢，指於中秋節連續三晚舞動火龍繞村遊行，同時燃燒炮竹，便可驅走瘟疫。此法奏效後，自此村民每年皆紮製火龍巡遊，以保合境平安。
