Well, this year my dad "invited" a beautiful lion to our house on 3rd day of CNY. My mum took 2 long fire-crackers from grandma's house and hung it on the tree to welcome the "lion". My mum said the fire-crackers was kept in my grandma's house for years! Haha! We have not played any fire-crackers since it has been banned by the government.
Pity the kid who played the lion dance. I heard the kid who played the front role for the lion dance said his ear got burnt by the fire-crackers when they approaching the fire-crackers.
Welcome "home"!
Lion:"Oh my god, you have so many fruits to eat! Can I share some with you?"
Lion:"Opps! I forgot about that! Okay, let me take the angpow and leave the vege behind! Haha!"
The lion dance was performed by my secondary shchool Lion Dance's Club. I do not know now they have this kind of traditional club. But it does sounds cool. (^_^) But all of them were like primary shchool students, they looked so small size & young!
Southern dance is more symbolic. It is usually performed as a ceremony to exorcise evil spirits and to summon luck and fortune. The southern lion exhibits a wide variety of colour and has a distinctive head with large eyes, a mirror on the forehead, and a single horn at center of the head.
Gong Xi Fa Cai to everyone, for all year long! (^_^)
Alright, that's all for today! Gotta back to work! Cheers!

There are different variations of the lion dance in other Asian cultures, with each region possessing their own styles.Chinese lion dances can be broadly categorised into two styles, Northern (北獅) and Southern (南獅). Northern dance was used as entertainment for the imperial court. The northern lion is usually red, orange, and yellow (sometimes with green fur for the female lion), shaggy in appearance, with a golden head. The northern dance is acrobatic and is mainly performed as entertainment. Sometimes, they perform dangerous stunts.
Southern dance is more symbolic. It is usually performed as a ceremony to exorcise evil spirits and to summon luck and fortune. The southern lion exhibits a wide variety of colour and has a distinctive head with large eyes, a mirror on the forehead, and a single horn at center of the head.
The lion dance has close relations to kung fu and the dancers are usually members of the local kung fu club. They practice in their club and some train hard to master the skill.
