After the ancestors of the Wu clan from Shalanxia Village in Shatoujiao moved from Boluo, Guangdong to the coastal Xin'an County (formerly known as Bao'an County, now Shenzhen, Guangdong Province), they combined the local folk custom of enjoying lanterns during the Lantern Festival with their early experience in offshore fishing, creating the unique Fish Lantern Dance.
