大年初一，村长在村广播站上喊“各家注意，八点钟所有舞板凳龙的人及锣鼓手，全部准时到村最东边的人家集合，八点准时开始。”其实不喊，村民也都会准时甚至很早就赶到的。八点整，所有舞板凳龙的村民带上自家做好的龙身段的板凳，按顺序摆好在第一家门前的院子里，这时一条金色的长龙呈现在大家面前。龙头栩栩如生，气势磅礴；龙身金光熠熠，丰满壮实；龙尾高高翘起，随风舞动，但这时的龙还没有睁开眼睛。只见村长拿起一支蘸了墨的毛笔让第一户人家的长者在龙眼部位的空白处点上一点，顿时一条活灵活现的龙便跃跃欲腾了。村长一声吆喝“起，”鞭炮齐鸣，锣鼓震天，龙珠冉冉升起，龙头随着龙珠慢慢抬满分/起头，上下游动，左右摆动，在院子里转了起来，龙身跟着龙头忽上忽下，忽左忽右，龙尾则最调皮了，不时的在小朋友的脸上轻挥一下，撒一滴水，有时还故意的把尾巴朝向地面，动也不动。舞动时间大约15分钟，随后主人家便邀请舞板凳龙的人到家里喝上一口热茶，点上一支香烟，并给他们每人塞上一个红包，然后点燃鞭炮，护送板凳龙到另一家。

就这样有秩有序，挨家挨户，整个板凳龙舞在村里每户人家都要舞上，全村舞下来已是晌午了。我问爸爸，为什么刚开始龙的眼睛是空白的？为什么要在村庄最东边的人家开始舞？为什么要给他们发红包？为什么要喝上一口热茶？爸爸告诉我，在东边第一户人家舞动，寓意着龙腾东方，福临华夏；给龙描上眼睛叫“画龙点睛，”意思是休眠的龙又开始新的一年护佑村庄风调雨顺，六畜兴旺；发红包则寓意大家新年里日子红红火火，丰收在望；喝上一口热茶，寓意着一年办事顺汤顺水，一帆风顺。噢，原来都是对新年的祈愿和祝福。

金色的板凳龙随着锣鼓声声欢快舞动：荒芜的山野，石晓春冬；茁壮的小麦，勤作成功；绿色的油菜，绚丽的烟花，一幅美丽的画卷在心中。此情此景，一首“天忽作晴山卷幔，云犹含态石披衣。烟村南北黄鹂语，麦陇高低紫燕飞”的诗，淋漓尽致的将画面呈现于人们的眼前。
