The sedan chair is a form of performance in which two people carry a sedan chair, which is an ornately decorated sedan chair in which the bride plays the role of the bride. The dry boat is a prop that simulates a boat, which is maneuvered by the actors on land and is usually performed together with the dry boat dance.
