Chinese Lion Dance

Chinese Lion Dance at the Museum Volkenkunde Leiden, the Netherlands, 22-4-2012

[@thechancan5254]

I remember watching performances like this every Chinese New Year in my hometown. They fascinated me but I was a bit scared of them. When they came too close I would hide behind my Dad.

[@phenylmusic]

Nothing to be afraid of. They just want to play and if you touch their fur you can have good luck.

Same here. I used to live in singapore and every chinese new year, my local chinese neighbors always performed the lion dance right below our apartments (or what we call HBD flats)

[@athanpaulalconcel8449]

I had a dream last night; A blue lion enters the house dancing around and I hid the stockroom folding myself with the blanket and the blue lion went upstairs dancing around, i was hoping that it won't find me. I was so scared.

[@naynweshinn-mo1ps]

You ahh😂 you are a scary😂😂😂😂cat

[@kawaii_manga_20]

It looks like a playful puppy!! 🐶💕

[@user-wd9hf5gd5g]

i used to be so terrified of lion dances like i would hide in the bathrooms 😭

[@thiendao8328]

Here some facts about these lion dance The reason the lion dance does this is usually to give luck and also the reason why they called lion dance even the custom doesn’t look like a lion is bc each part of the lion have a meaning that represents luck like A lion has a eye of a Phoenix to symbolize Virtue A lion has a long beard of a Dragon to symbolize Intelligence A lion has a Brodhead of a shell of a tortoise to symbolize Wisdom & Longevity A lion has a sharp teeth of a white Tiger to Symbolize strength & Courage and they dance for 1500 years They was invented in QuangDong China The real Lion dancer always trust each other no matter how hard it is this is a example of Courage Sometime these lion bring people together Ik more but I don’t feel like typing all bc it alot and I watch lion dance for 13 years and im 13 And have a great day

[@BldElfPrince]

Looks like a perfect depiction of how a Shihtzu reacts when they are super happy after getting a really yummy treat! I'm sure that's no coincidence! I showed my little lion boy and he was mesmerized!

We can see the Lion dance at our school whenever is Chinese New Year :3

[@minicrewmate5375]

3:53 XD looks like a lion running into school

[@WinginWolf]

Dang why all the dislikes, this is great.

[@JET7C0]

I was wondering that myself, as it seems to be the case on more than one video like this, but looking at the comments, it seems a lot of people were scared of them when they were younger, so if I had to hazard a guess - it might be because they associate it with that? I guess sort of like clowns for some people. I don't find them scary at all - cute if anything, and agree this is great.

[@thepurpleman119]

What dislikes?

[@anikone177]

[@nigelrabe1668]

And this is not just a dance, it is also a sport. Malaysia hosts the world international lion dance championship in genting. Many troupes from all over the world including Malaysia's Kun Seng Keng, the lion dance champion winning over 30 championships in a row, and United States' White Crane, the "Western Lion King".

I wish in the middle of the dance. The lions would grow wings and fly into the sun and explode! Also 8:33 is my favourite bit in the video. NOICE GARY! The car nose dived, down the ditch with Eddie at the wheel. He screamed out the window "THE CAR IS MOVING!!" *CRASH* Dead! R.I.P EDDIE
