Dragon and lion
dances, whose origins date back to ancient China, are indispensable parts of festivals.
The dragon dance was invented to stop the spread of epidemics, then evolved into a folk activity. The lion dance was originally used for worship and to pray for rain, but now the dance is used strictly for entertainment. The lion chases a scampering clown, who dodges from left to right, jumping to and fro to make fun of the lion. |
