The Mysticism of Lion Dance

[@jasxteo]

So interesting!!!! I never see a Hakka lion dance before!

[@SupernaturalConfessions]

now u have! :)

I remember from old school days, the traditional 'eye dotting' ceremony for new lions also used fresh rooster blood and was also very 'mystical' feeling, have to follow a auspicious date and do proper prayers outside the hall before start the ceremony. Nowadays dont have this feel. Also i noticed no one likes to use Zhang Fei lion anymore eventhough its the strongest interms of chasing off dirty things. Hope to see more videos on lion dance, thanks!

[@SupernaturalConfessions]

They don't only look fierce but for me they look MIGHTY. 💚 And I don't know why, the usual lion mascot creeps me, but that one that is dancing looks pleasing for me. And guess what! I'm bobbing my head with the instruments played when I hate those kind of instrument being played when I hear it in TV or real life. But this one... IS GOOD TO MY EARS. 😭

[@SupernaturalConfessions]

Maybe the energy connects with you. There might be something to this to explore further

Excellent video!! Really interesting to learn about different aspects of the Lion Dance and the spiritual beliefs associated with it. Amazing to see how the Lion is brought to 'life'. The 'masters' must be very knowledgeable. Would enjoy more information about this topic. Thank you for sharing, from Australia.

Ngai he hakka nyin. Tojia

[@baasheep4188]

mine experience was the whole chandelier falling off from ceiling when lion enter the front door , felt bit strange

[@chongkuifui3828]

你左手边那隻有法器保护，如葫芦，扇，这算是比你右手边那隻底一级吗？较底级的如红色及黄色的猫獅王？及五颜六色的(客家话)花拉点獅？

[@chongkuifui3828]

第一级的青狮是否鼓法不同？如开鼓及鼓法不同？其他如猫弧獅(猫狮王)的开鼓不同，打法也不同？

[@YesitisDex]

This is my jam 🎶

[@chongkuifui3828]

没有法器保护的第一级青狮王，是否在头上还须要经过开光的五宝保护？如白面布，白扇，毛笔，镜子，针，五色线绑在獅头上？或許贴一些符？

[@lyonzochannel9158]

Proud of Bau tradition! ❤❤❤

[@w8ngr]

My dad was Hakka but he did the unicorn dance what’s the difference between the unicorn dancing and the lion dancing

[@tomahawk1556]

Now we know , these Hakka Lion Dance's Lion Heads are not only quite Fierce Looking but possesed of Guardians to subdue & chase away Evil Spirits! ... 🙏🕯

[@SupernaturalConfessions]

indeed, new things everyday! :)

[@rajblack2055]

What about usual lion dance?? Not related to spirits?

[@YesitisDex]

It all relates to spirits 🙏🏼😉

[@C.h.a.o.s.1st]

Well this is lucky, because my race is Chinese/hakka

[@21_devi]

Could u do a video on Kuda Kepang dance?

[@chongkuifui3828]

曾经听说过如你左右兩隻獅子为第一级的獅王，故此在参拜神明不必下跪？或許某些派别是如此？

[@inkjinni]

the lion round head and square jaw, like the old chinese copper coin represent the heaven and earth. the Taoist believe that the heaven/sky is rounded and the earth is squared

[@chongkuifui3828]

起初客家獅是以青狮白眉毛为先，往后是否某一些客家獅队员认为獅艺与武术没那么高强，而把白眉毛画成黑色，如此不会受到青狮白眉毛獅王的挑战及为难？若是事实，那么就漫漫变化成了一些猫獅王，(花拉点獅)如此演变下来的吧？如此推伦？

[@leekc2574]

我认为这客家狮跟福建青狮很像。福建青狮是用来暗示满清，狮头上也有王字。练武者打青狮，也就是意味反清复明。 白眉狮属于老狮，辈份比较高，黑眉毛属于中年壮狮，还有童狮（也是青色），狮头比较小。 福建狮的嘴巴比较巧，没那么四四方方。 俩者舞法大同小异，鼓法有不同。

Than what's the difference to the one we see

[@TheXT713]

ugly lion dance, 這個獅很醜陋的
