What are the characteristics of lion dance?

Lion dance is a folk lion dance that integrates martial arts, dance and music. During the performance, gongs and drums rang, and the lion dancer first made a southern fist, which was called "opening the pile"; Then, two people play the role of lion dance. One wears a smiling face "Big Head Buddha" and holds a sunflower fan to attract the lion to the stage. The lion dance is dominated by Nanquan Ma bu, and its movements include opening eyes, washing beard, licking body and shaking hair. The main routines are picking green, drinking water from high platform, lions spitting balls and stepping on plum blossom piles. Among them, "picking the green" is the essence of "Wake Up the Lion".

Lion dance originated in Nanhai county and spread in Guangdong, Guangxi and Southeast Asian countries.

In the rural areas of northern Guangdong, lion awakening is called "big-headed dog", which is not the main popular lion species, but mostly dances in towns. However, in the past 20 years, many rural ancestral lion dances have not been inherited, and they have learned lion dances instead.
