Lion Dance
舞狮
Three Kingdoms period (220–280 CE)
The Lion Dance is a traditional Chinese performance where two dancers operate a lion costume — one controlling the head, the other the body. Mimicking a lion's movements with acrobatic stunts, the dance is believed to bring good luck and ward off evil spirits. Two main styles exist: Northern Lion Dance (playful, pekingese-like) and Southern Lion Dance (powerful, kung-fu inspired).
