The relationship between Foshan dancers and Hakka people

Foshan dancers have nothing to do with the Hakka people. Lion dance, also called Guangdong lion dance, is a traditional dance popular in Foshan City, Suixi County, Guangzhou City and surrounding areas in Guangdong Province. It is one of the national intangible cultural heritages. Lion dance belongs to the southern lion in Chinese lion dance. The Hakka people brought a lot of Central Plains culture with them after they moved south. Hakka lion dance combines the styles of northern lions and southern lions and has its own characteristics. Hakka lion dance can be divided into yellow lion and green lion in terms of origin, and can be divided into single lion dance and double lion dance in terms of performance form. The yellow lion dance began in the Northern Song Dynasty, and the green lion dance began in the Qing Dynasty.
