The lion dance has been a traditional Chinese folk art for more than 2000 years. In the lion dance,
two performers share a lion costume, one moving the head and other moving the body and tail.
They skillfully cooperate to imitate the various movements of a lion. As the king of beasts, the
lion symbolizes happiness and good luck, so people usually perform lion dance during the Spring
festival and other festivals. Lion dance can also be seen on other important occasions, such as the
store openings and wedding ceremonies, which often attract many people to watch.
