The significance of lion dance
Lion dance is a traditional performing art in Asia. Performers dressed up as lions under the sound of gongs and drums and made various movements of lions. China folk tradition holds that lion dancing can drive away evil spirits and disasters. Therefore, during festivals, they like to beat gongs and drums to celebrate the majestic image of lions as statues of all animals, giving people a sense of majesty and courage. The ancients regarded it as a symbol of courage and strength to protect people and animals, hoping that life would be auspicious and everything would be safe.
