The Meaning Behind the Lion Dance
In Chinese culture, the lion dance chases away bad luck and welcomes prosperity. It is traditionally performed at business openings, Chinese New Year, weddings and milestone celebrations. The drumming awakens the lion; the cai qing blesses the host with wealth and success for the year ahead.
