1, the yellow lion dance is called Liu Beishi. Liu Bei has always been famous for his benevolence and righteousness, and was born in the Liu family of the Han Dynasty royal family. In addition, Liu Bei is the emperor of Shu Han, so Liu Bei has the style of an emperor and is a symbol of yellow lion dance.

2. The red lion dance is called Guan Gong's lion. Guan Gong is famous for his loyalty. He is the Wu Caishen in China's traditional culture and a symbol of loyalty, victory and wealth. People lament Guan Gong's loyalty and courage, so they compare the red lion dance to Guan Gong.
