Lion dance, formerly known as Ruishi, is the southern lion in the lion dance movement in China and one of the lion dance cultures. It originated in Nanhai County and is now popular in Guangdong and Guangxi. The lion awakening consists of three people, one is the lion's head in front, the other is the lion's body behind, and the other is holding a sunflower fan to lead the lion to perform. Lion dance, which combines martial arts, music and dance, is known as a must in China.
