It is said that the lion dance in China originated in the Southern and Northern Dynasties with a history of more than one thousand years. The lions represent joy and happiness. From the fourth day to the fifteenth of the New Year, lion dance groups would tour from village to village in ancient China. The lion itself consists of a head and a body. Every lion was made up of two Kung Fu martial artists qualified with a solid skill in Kung Fu. During the lion dance, music is played and each of the lion's moods and moves has its own rhythm.
据说，中国的舞狮（lion dance）起源于南北朝（the Southern and Northern Dynasties）时期，至今已有一千多年的历史了。狮子代表欢乐和幸福。在中国古代，从新年的第四天到第十五天，舞狮团会从一个村子舞到另一个村子。狮子本身包含一个头和一个身体。两个功夫武术家（Kung Fu martial artists）可以组成一头狮子。两名参与者必须都要有扎实的功夫才能表演。舞狮的过程中还配有音乐。狮子的每种情绪和动作都有自己的节奏。
