History!🎉

🧧 The Lion Dance Story 🦁 #liondancestory 🦁Once upon a time in ancient China. There was a big scary beast who had razor sharp teeth, giant claws, and a very mean growl. Most of the time he will stays in the wilderness, but at the rise of every new year, he would sneak into the village, and scare everyone in sight. The villagers called the monster 👹‘ #nian ’👹 which means year in chinese. At the start of every lunar new year, everyone from the kids to the elderly all shut themselves in and hid within their homes. The villagers dreaded chinese new year for many many years. This was until a wise sage visited the village and told them what Nian was afraid of. Loud noises, fire and the colour red. And so the next time Nian came, the villagers fought back. They banged on their drums, lit all the firecrackers they could find, and wore the colour red from head to toe. Nian ran away and never came back. The villagers then started celebrating new year, instead of fearing it. This would be later be known as the first chinese new year. The tradition is now celebrated yearly all over the world. We not only perform the #liondance to celebrate chinese new year but also to tell children that they too can embody their fears and become a #lion .🦁 #monsternian #nianmonster #yearmonster #nianshou #niánshòu

🧧The Legend Of The Lion Dance🦁 #LionDanceLegend 🦁According to legend, on the eve of every CNY, an unknown animal would destroy the fields, crops and animals belonging to the farmers of a village in China. The villagers could not identify the beast and named it 👹 #Nian 👹, which came to mean “year” in Chinese. To put a stop to the ravaging, the villagers made a model of the animal out of bamboo and paper, which was manipulated by two men, accompanied by the loud beating of instruments. According to another version of this legend, the villagers made a model of a #lion out of bamboo and cloth after discovering that Nian was afraid of #lions, and accompanied it with the loud beating of pots and pans. They waited for Nian on the eve of CNY, and succeeded in driving it away. Henceforth, the #liondance was performed annually on CNY with drums, cymbals and gongs. Nowadays, the #lion_dance is performed not only during CNY, but also for opening ceremonies, welcoming of important persons and other auspicious occasions.🦁 🧧 #BeastNian #YearBeast #NianShou #NianBeast #NiánShòu 👹
