China and Malaysia take lion dance to new heights

[@blucorona]

Malaysia have been promoting lion dance for many years when the large part of the world neglected it. Getting Highland world competition is the most reputable event where the toughest team compete.

[@X-Fauve]

I love that in M'sia there are other races training to be Lion Dancers.

[@ytcbk]

This is not an easy skill to master. Great respect to all who practice this cultural art. 👍

[@SOLARRISE-i8f]

The Chinese has been upkeeping these knowledge and skills alive in malaya/msia for more than 650 years. I salute their resoluteness.

Fifty years or so, as a girl I learned to lion dance and was permitted to carry the head. Not this super high dance, the "ordinary " one. It is wonderful to see Chinese lion dance being recognised and valued now in Malaysia. It was a very different story before.

[@leealex24]

Malaysia lion dance team used to be ranked 1st, not sure now

[@keangwooichoo6138]

Yes no 1 in the world

[@Sustain_life]

I still remember watching this Lion dance when I was younger in a Malaysian mall and have not forgotten them since then. Brings back good memories❤

So great to know the background of lion dance at Malaysia

[@mgck6822]

As a kid, i often hear of injuries these kids endured...spooked me.

[@AhKinChoong]

The Oversea Chinese in past Malaya and now Malaysia has held up the Southern China culture the lion dance for centuries. The Chinese associations, clans and society have been the great support in finance to keep the lion going. What would be a Chinese New Year without the Lion Dance, fireworks, reunion dinner and ang pow (red packet)?

The colours of Culture are a beautiful thing indeed.

Big countries like China don't mind sharing their culture with other countries. While indonsia or claimdonesia always claim everything from theirs even Nasi Goreng or Fried Rice also they want to claim.

[@iskhrm1688]

Nasi goreng (fried rice) is even Chinese origin, yet they claimed as theirs 😂

[@lohrav4138]

Huh？ China sharing their stuff? What a 2025 joke

[@kimmie5861]

​@iskhrm1688 Yes very true, fried rice originate from China. There are only 3 ingredients ie. Rice, ginger and egg, the original version.

[@benkraze3103]

Well the ancestor of the Chinese people in Malaysia were Mainland Chinese after all, so it's their cultural heritage.
