According to the History of Rites and Music in Han Dynasty, "lion dance" is very popular among the people. Two people dressed as lions together, and one person teased it with colored balls, tumbling up and down, lively and interesting. The pattern of "lion rolling hydrangea" comes from this. Lion dance is a folk festival, which means to eliminate disasters and pray for blessings. The pattern composed of hydrangea is also called hydrangea brocade and hydrangea pattern.
