The significance of the lion dance culture 醒狮/舞狮:

As a performing art with a long history and rich charm, it has always been loved by people. The lion dance is not only a folk performance, but also a sports competition.
"Lion dance". It was born out of the court lion dance in the Tang Dynasty. After the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, the lion dance culture was introduced to the Lingnan region with the migration of immigrants from the Central Plains to the south. Since the Ming Dynasty, the lion dance has appeared in Guangdong and originated in Nanhai (now Foshan City).

Since ancient times, the lion dance in Guangdong has been regarded as an auspicious and auspicious object to drive away evil and avoid harm. Every festival or major event must have a lion dance to help the fun, which has been prosperous and passed down from generation to generation.

The Guangdong lion dance was originally called "lucky lion " (瑞狮 Rui Sui), but in Cantonese, "lucky"(瑞 Rui) and "sleep"(睡 Shui) are pronounced similar. In the late Qing Dynasty and early Republic of China, the theory that "China sleeps first and wakes up later" (中国先睡后醒论) was widely spread. Therefore, under the influence of "auspicious lion awakening", the lion dance troupe changed the name of "lucky lion" (瑞狮 Rui Shi)to "awakening lion" (醒狮 Xing Shi), which means awakening the country and the people. The awakening lion awakens the national soul and the beating of drums boosts the spirit. From then on, Guangdong lion troupes have adopted the name "awakening lion troupe".
