The lion dance team, there is a black seven-star flag is what is meant to be

The seven-star flag is the flag of the Northern God of Water in the Southern Legend, Pak Tai, when he went on patrol (in ancient times, black was the color of the North). Since there were many floods in the Pearl River Delta during the Tang and Song dynasties, the people of Foshan invited Pak Tai to Foshan to sit in the town. Strangely enough, there have been no more floods in the Foshan area since then. Guangdong people have the concept of water as wealth, so the worship of the Northern Emperor has become a typical folklore of the Pearl River Delta, which implies the good wishes of good weather and peace of mind.

Southern lion dance activities are with the intention of praying for good luck and driving away evil spirits, so there is this seven-star flag representing the northern god of water, Pak Tai.

The seven-star flag is in the style of an unequal triangle with white tusked edges, and the seven stars are white connected by white thread.

This type of flag was popular among the folk of Guangdong, and was much seen in the secret societies of the Qing Dynasty, so the famous Black Flag Army also used this type of flag
