What is the origin of lion dance?

There is a story of Tang's visit to the Moon Temple in the monument. Lion dancing made Tang wake up and made him do it. This story tells that when Tang visited the Moon Temple, a colorful unicorn with a big mouth and a big nose appeared in front of Tang, but it was harmless.

Since then, lion dance has flowed into the people. Taiping music in the Book of Rites in the Tang Dynasty is also called the Five-Party Lion Dance.
