Two grandsons in Chaozhou danced lions for their 62-year-old grandfather. How did the lion dance culture develop in the south?

How the lion dance culture developed in the south actually originated from a legend. Legend has it that in the early Ming Dynasty, a huge monster appeared in the south, which specialized in eating people and small animals. The local people were very scared, so they came up with a way to drive away the monster. Everyone made it into the shape of a lion with materials, then painted it in color. While beating gongs and drums, they pretended to go down to the monster and scared it away. According to this legend, lion dance culture has always existed. In the south, lion dance culture actually represents auspicious omen.

There is a news on the Internet that has attracted the attention of many netizens, that is, Chaozhou has two grandchildren, 50 of whom are his 62-year-old grandfather. In fact, although the lion dance culture is not paid much attention to now, it has a long history. Especially the lion dance in the south, the culture is quite popular. Basically, people from the lion dance team will be invited to perform any festive events at home, which is also the reason why Wushu culture represents auspicious meaning.

In fact, the culture of lion dance has a long history, mainly in the Ming Dynasty, and mainly in Guangdong. Later, as the Central Plains immigrated to other regions, the lion dance culture gradually spread to other regions. This is why the lion dance culture originated in the south, but basically the whole country knows the existence of the lion dance culture.

Since ancient times, lion dance activities have been held in festive festivals. Because lions have auspicious meanings, they can be used to ward off evil spirits. Therefore, major festivals and festive festivals never lack lion dance activities, especially in southern China.

But now, due to the invasion of foreign culture, many people have lost their understanding of this traditional culture and paid little attention to it, so that it seems that lion dance culture is rarely seen now. But in fact, lion dance culture is the traditional culture of our country, and it is also the development of traditional culture that lion dance has only now developed into a competitive sport. Its influence in the world is growing. It is precisely because of the popularity of lion dance competitions and the expansion of lion dance culture that lion dance activities are becoming more and more standardized, the lion dance team is growing stronger and stronger, and lion dance activities are also included in China's intangible cultural heritage, which can be said to be developing better and better.
