Japanese Dance and Traditional Dance

Although they are all lion dances, China and Japanese are really different. Our lion dance in China is mainly to create a happy atmosphere on some festive days, while Japanese performances are mainly to pray for peace and take away disasters.

Moreover, they not only have different meanings, but also have different forms of expression. Our China lion dance atmosphere and fighting are very lively and powerful, while Japanese lion dance is generally more personalized, because in early years, lion dance was performed for them.

First of all, lion dance in China is a very famous traditional craft of national culture. This skill has been widely circulated since ancient times. And this lion has many details, and the story is only divided into north and south. Under the music of beating gongs and drums, one person performed the first performance and the other performed the end, which was very tacit cooperation, but I didn't know that their performance on and off stage would take ten years.

Under the embellishment of music, two cooperative people dress up as lions, and then do all kinds of exaggerated and fun actions like lions. In this atmosphere, people often feel very happy and add some different colors to festive festivals.

Therefore, Japanese lion dance was originally a part of their traditional folk dance, which was actually from Chinese studies, but they didn't learn everything, so they tried to make lion dance their own thing, so there was Japanese lion dance.

Unlike China, this lion dance doesn't give performances in the big square, but gives performances with its own props. In fact, they don't want to covet some money, but want to spread an idea. They believe in God in Japan, and then make people worship God more through lion dancing.

Moreover, after the performance, there are always auspicious words, such as eliminating ghosts and bringing happiness, so in the eyes of the Japanese, lion dancing is just a ceremony.
