Lion dance is divided into north and south. What's the name of the Southern Lion?

Lion dance can be divided into two types: southern lion and northern lion. Southern lion is also called lion awakening. Based on the spirit likeness and combined with martial arts, Nanshi created an exaggerated and romantic lion image. Although it is not as exquisite as the Northern Lion, it pays attention to lightness, agility and flexibility.

Photinia originated from the traditional folk culture in Nanhai, Guangdong Province, and is thought to drive away demons and ghosts. It is a typical representative of folk sports art and a portrayal of China people's enterprising spirit. In the South China Sea, dragon boats and southern lions have a deep mass base. During festivals or major events, such as Spring Festival celebrations and competitions, there will be activities such as dragon boat picking, beating gongs and drums, and lion dancing. This tradition has never declined. Especially under the inheritance and development of Chinese in Hong Kong, Macao and overseas, this festive folk activity has become more prosperous since the reform and opening up.
