The lion dance has a long history in China. There are many different stories about
how the lion dance first started, but no one knows for sure. One story tells us that
long time ago, a lion appeared in a small village in China and attacked the people and
animals there. The villagers didn’t know what to do and offered ten pieces of gold to
anyone who could help them.
A kung-fu fighter heard about this and went to the village. He fought with the
lion three times but couldn’t kill it. So he taught kung-fu to some of the villagers to
help him kill the lion. A few months later, they killed the lion. After this the villagers
celebrated the event every year by following the steps of those who fought the lion in
a dance.
Another story tells us there was once an emperor who used to have bad dreams
every night and couldn’t sleep. One night he saw a lion dance in his dream and the
bad dreams just disappeared.
When he woke up that morning, he showed his guards how to do the dance. From
then on, they did the dance on that same day every year and the emperor never had
bad dreams again.
Lion dances take place at people’s homes during Chinese New Year. Chinese people
believe that the dancers will bring good luck to the homes they visit. Two people do
the dance, one at the head and another at the tail of the lion. They move the lion’s
eyes, mouth and ears to make it look alive during the dance. Loud music is played and
sometimes firecrackers are fired during the dance. This loud noise helps to keep evil
spirits away and to bring good luck. The lion dance is one of the most colorful events
of the Chinese New Year celebration.
