I. Basic introduction

Lion dance is a traditional culture in China, which has been handed down from generation to generation and developed vigorously. Among them, Nanpai lion dance, also known as lion awakening, is deeply loved by Macao people. Macao people often say: "lion dance is a symbol of happiness. If there is a lion dance performance, there will be a happy event." Whether it is the Spring Festival, Mid-Autumn Festival, New Year's Day and other holidays, or the opening scene of large gatherings or celebrations, you can see lion dance performances.

Macao society also pays special attention to the inheritance of lion dance culture. In Macao, lion dance can be said to be a national sport, and children aged five or six to middle-aged and elderly people aged fifty or sixty will participate. The spirit of unity, hard work and persistence has also inspired generations of Macao people.

Second, fun.

"Looking at the South Lion is mainly to appreciate the unity of the lion's expression and form. Lions should show eight expressions in the dance, such as joy, anger, sorrow, joy, movement, quietness, surprise and doubt. " Zhao, the Macau Wushu Association, has been practicing lion dance since he was five years old, and it has been more than twenty years now. He thinks that compared with the realistic northern lion, the modeling of the southern lion pays more attention to charm. In the passionate vocal music of gongs, drums and cymbals, the majestic lion makes vivid movements such as jumping, beating and Zadda, which is exciting and alarming.
