原来狮子也能这么萌！

看！闹市区里有狮子！

小场面，来中国过个春节你就知道了。

狮舞是中国民间的传统表演艺术

融合了武术、民乐和舞蹈等多种元素。

最常见的狮舞由两个人配合，

一人演头，一人演尾，

踩着鼓点像小狮子一样，

“眨眼”、“舔身”、“抖毛”、“吐球”

憨态可掬，栩栩如生。

狮子是中国人心中的瑞兽，

能够驱灾辟邪，求吉纳福。

远古时期，

村子里总有野猪闯来糟蹋庄稼、咬伤儿童，

人们就在干活的时候扮作狮子吓跑它们，

这就是狮舞的由来。

狮舞分为南狮和北狮，

南狮技巧高超，矫健凶猛；

南狮在表演之前会举行“点睛”仪式，

把朱砂涂在狮子的眼睛上，

象征给予生命。

每逢节庆，必有南狮助兴

寓意着驱邪避灾，添瑞纳福。

北狮灵动活泼，娇憨可爱；

经常成对出现，

有时还会带上一只小狮子，

寓意家庭美满，尽享天伦。

别看狮舞跳起来如此轻盈，

真想舞好，可是需要长年累月的练习呢，

“台上一分钟，台下十年功”，

这就是名副其实的“中国功夫”。

Lion Dance

Look!

Lions in the downtown area!

Don’t fuss,

why not come to China at the Spring Festival.

Lion dance is a traditional Chinese folk performing art,

combining martial arts, folk music and dance.

Lion dance consists of two people.

One plays the head and another the tail.

They dance like a little lion which can blink, lick its body, shake hair and spit ball, cute and lifelike.

The lion is an auspicious beast in China,

able to exorcise evil and seek blessing.

In ancient times,

when wild boars came to the village, destroyed crops and bit children, people would pretend to be lions to scare them  away.

This is the origin of lion dance.

There are two types of lion dances.

The southern-style lions are highly skilled, athletic and fierce. An "eye painting" ceremony is held before the performance.

Applying cinnabaron its eyes means giving life to the lion.

During festivals, the lion dance is performed to celebrate,

which means to drive away evil and to bring good fortune.

The northern-style lions are agile, lively and cute.

They often appear in pairs, sometimes also bring a little lion, symbolizing a happy family.

The dancing lions are so light-footed, but it takes years and months of practice.

"One minute on stage, ten years’ work off stage".

This is also "Chinese Kung Fu".
