"The integration of lion dance culture and technology in teaching can cultivate students' scientific and technological innovation abilities and allow teachers to integrate education across different subjects, providing students with more choices for future development," said Feng Yanjun, vice-president of No 1 Experimental Primary School of Baogang. 

The event aimed to promote regional ethnic culture exchange by building an internet exchange platform with the help of information technology.
