The lion dance is a festive activity program in China, the following content is shared by me to write an essay about the lion dance, take a look!
Part I: Lion DanceOn the evening of the thirteenth day of the Lunar Calendar, my father and I went to Walking Street to see the lion dance performance. On the way, we happened to meet a procession of lion dancers. In front of the long dragon, they were wearing lanterns, dressed up as Jigong, clam spirit, boatman, picking flower baskets and rowing colorful boats. Behind them, followed by a large crowd of people watching the dragon.
In front of a store, the procession stopped. Lanterns with the "head" first to the host family blessing, the host family will have been prepared to put the cigarettes and wine, "head" into the basket, and to each of the lion dance boy toast. After the toast, the lion dance performance will officially begin.
All of a sudden, the sound of firecrackers, gongs and drums, ear-splitting. Adults kept throwing firecrackers into the center of the field, and children lit fireworks in their hands and aimed them at the dancing dragon. In an instant, the whole lion dance site, smoke and fire. In the firecracker fire and fireworks tube flame irradiation, only to see that the dragon up and down roll, sometimes hidden, as if the clouds ride the general.
The lion dance can be really wonderful, see my heart jumping, have to let me admire the people who lion dance, they are really brave.
Part II: Watching the Lion DanceThis morning, my grandfather was going to participate in the lion dance. I asked, "Grandpa, why do you want to participate in the lion dance?" "The lion dance is held every year on the New Year's Day, especially in the Year of the Dragon, when Dada holds a large-scale event to welcome the dragon and pray for good weather, so of course I have to take part in it." Grandpa replied. "The lion dance will start soon, if you want to see it come to the City God Temple, we will leave there." Grandpa said. I thought to myself, I'd better go and see how they dance. So I went with my grandfather to the City God Temple.
The lion dance began, and from the City God Temple came out two dragons one with a white beard and one with a black beard, I heard my mom say that the white bearded one was the old dragon and the black bearded one was the young one. They first walked to the police station, I also followed in, only to see the two dragons intertwined with each other into a large circle, from the top to the bottom like a lollipop. Then the two dragons came to Dada Elementary School, only to see the two long dragons hovering left and right for a while, and flying up and down for a while, as if they were two real dragons coming to the earth, which dazzled me and made me happy, and the crowd erupted in applause and cheers. I think: our motherland is not like this leaping dragon?
I will never forget this time to see the lion dance.
Part III: Lion DanceThe dragon, an ancient legend of a scales, horns, whiskers, claws, can rise clouds and make rain of the divine animal, in the traditional Chinese culture, is regarded as an auspicious animal, call themselves the heir of the dragon. Since ancient times, the dragon is the embodiment of the emperor, the common people is the dragon for the traditional pride.
Every year around the Lantern Festival, people all over the country to lion dance to pray for the coming year can wind and rain, the five cereals. Dating back to the Han Dynasty, history has long been documented, thousands of years this folklore has been passed from generation to generation, thriving.
I really like the lion dance performance, but also like to collect some pictures of the dragon, information and singing dragon song disk, from which I feel the Chinese culture of the profound.
The lion dance, also known as "playing dragon lanterns", is one of the forms of folk dance of the Han people, popular in many parts of the country. The image of the "dragon" has its own characteristics, generally made of bamboo, wood, paper, cloth, etc., the number of sections varies, mostly singular. Each dancer holds a stick to support a section. By a person holding a colorful bead, play dragon dance, dragon head with colorful beads, dragon body sections with the dragon head up and down, left and right. Each section of the candle can be burned within the so-called "dragon lamp", can not burn the candle called "cloth lamp". In addition, there are lotus lamps, butterfly lamps composed of "white leaf dragon", with a bench dance "bench dragon" and the human body composed of "human dragon" and other forms.
Part IV: Lion DanceOn vacation, students went home, play to play. Only our college lion dance lion dance team members are still every day to insist on training, two practice a day.
The high bar stool set up in mid-air, the leader held the embroidered ball to guide a pair of domineering lion in the two-meter-high bar stool up and down jumping up and down, suddenly up and down, sometimes standing, sometimes down.
Because my partner's lion head out of the game, I can only watch from the sidelines of the training, the heart is really itchy ah .........
To be honest, we can say that all the provinces and cities in the excellent athletes gathered together. And the dragon and lion team and from these people elected out of the best, it seems to practice good dragon and lion is not easy. This is true, regardless of martial arts in good, two people if you can not put the strength together, personal excellence is also in vain.
The lion dance is a traditional Chinese national sport that nurtures Chinese culture. I began to like the lion dance more and more lion dance, although this holiday can not be fully committed to practicing the lion, but we have a pair of lions will certainly keep the first lion in the dragon and lion team!
Part V: Lion DanceOn the morning of the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, in front of the library of the second district has long been gathered in the crowd of people who love to see the lion dance. Here is about to carry out a high stakes lion dance performance, love to watch the show, love to get together, all gathered one after another in this small square quietly waiting for the ...... I have always been not interested in the lion dance, is to see but not to see the kind. But promised and MEI over to see and then photographed, so I still patience and young and old crowd stopped to watch, the heart is hoping that the show quickly end.
Thankfully, my friend BECKY showed up out of the blue, so I was in a very happy mood to chat with her. We are excited to talk about the past few days, the most talked about or said what to see what what classmates, classmates and how to become how ...... a burst of sighs, a sound of surprise, a sentence of laughter, bring me is a long time to relax and happy!

Part 6: Lion DanceToday, my mom took my brother and I to Green City Square to see the lion dance, and I was so happy.
When we arrived at the Green City Plaza, we were just in time for the start of the show. I rushed into the crowd, found that the original is a person waving a big knife fight "lion". Playing the lion of the two actors can be really skillful, only to see the "lion" a moment of teeth and claws, a moment to pounce out, a moment to raise the back legs, a moment to run fast. Dance sword actor is not inferior, three or two times to the "lion" subdued. Suddenly, several lions played by a single person suddenly came to us and bowed their hands to us to pay New Year's greetings. I couldn't help but laugh out loud at the wonderful performance of the actors.
Suddenly, my brother asked, "What's that high platform for?" We rushed over, it turned out that today there are many lion dance troupes to perform, and we only saw one, there are many more! The performance here was "The Lion Chasing the Tiger". We saw a tiger being chased by a lion to the edge of a high platform, and the tiger had to climb up the two ropes connecting the top of the platform. "The lion chased after him and did a few maneuvers. When the lion was about one-half of the way to the top of the platform, the tiger suddenly started to fight back. At that moment, I was really worried for them: what if they fell down? However, my worry was superfluous, they did not fall down, and the audience would applaud them every time they were in danger.
Time passes really fast, in a flash it is noon, we should go home. I had to leave the square reluctantly.
Today, I not only watched the wonderful lion dance, but also saw the rich ethnic culture, really happy!
Part VII: Lion DanceChina has many traditional cultures, and lion dance is one of them.
Last year, my father took me to Bell Tower Park to see the lion dance performance. When we got to the Bell Tower Park, there were a lot of spectators watching the lion dance performance. I heard exciting drums and saw a golden-colored dancing lion performing. There were a few high steps on the stage, so I thought the lion dance would not be able to jump that high, but when I saw that the golden-colored lion dance had already jumped to the fourth high step, the audience gave a loud applause. When the dancing lion jumped to the 2nd highest step, the audience said "Go, go, go." The audience was worried because the lion dance was going to jump on the highest step. The lion dance jumped as hard as it could and finally reached the highest step. The audience applauded again.
The lion dance show is really beautiful, and the uncle of the lion dance team is really brave.
Part 8: Lion Dance
On the second day of the Chinese New Year, I went with my father and mother to see the lion dance in the Temple of Wu.
Into the temple, we first worshiped the gods, I hope I will grow up fast and tall this year, and make progress in my studies, and then we went to pick the windmill, which is something we must do every year. By ten o'clock, the gongs and drums were sounding, and the lions were dancing along with the drums. I counted the lions and there were 5 of them in one ****. Dad said, "If there are 5 lions, there is an idiom called, 'Five Lions Celebrate the New Year'. When the lion is dancing, mom always touches the lion's head, why? Dad said, "It means that if you touch it, it will bring you good luck and good health". I suddenly realized, oh! Oh, that's why. I quickly ran to touch the lion's head. The lions danced into our crowd. At the end of the day, they were grabbing food to eat. One by one, they crouched down and guarded their mouths from the other lions. In the end, one male lion grabbed most of the food and was happy.
Ah! What a nice lion dance performance!
Part IX: Watching the Lion DanceA phone call came from my dad at noon today, when I was playing a game. Dad asked me to go out to see the lion dance, in fact, at first I was not very willing to go. But my mom said to go with me, and I was really attracted by the sound of the gongs and drums that were getting louder and louder. The place is not far from home, I jogged for a while to arrive. I saw a lot of people gathered there from afar, and the area was almost full of people. Dad, who probably saw me before I did, waved to me. Mom and I stood to him, and the lion dance was about to begin.
Most of the lion dancers were elementary school students, and they were working very hard, some beating gongs and some drums. Before long, more people naturally came. Of course, this also means that the surrounding air is worse, the surrounding sound decibel is higher. It's not hard to explain, more smokers, more women. The lion dance troupe put on several shows, which in this town would really be considered exciting. But the people were too stingy to give them any applause. Perhaps in their eyes, the lion dancers fell down than the lion dancers jumped on the wooden bench more interesting, more worthy of applause.
In fact, the most interesting thing to watch is what my father called "braising lions". I've never seen it, so I didn't follow my mom home. I stood on my tiptoes and looked left and right, and then I saw several people with more than ten baskets of fruit baskets packed with small cannonballs out. I asked my father what they were doing, and he told me that they were going to throw them to the lions later. This is called "braising lions". I'll see what happens. The opening song was a bundle of cannonballs, and when the cannonballs burned, the lions rushed in without saying a word, rushed to the place where the cannonballs were burning, and their feet jumped all over the place. I can not figure out in the end they were firecrackers after the jump up, or "lion" know that the firecrackers to explode at his feet he jumped up to guard, or simply is the scene of chaos of the firecrackers scared the lion flying lion jumping. There is no way to find out, the scene was really too chaotic.
Here to provide you with two photos, be sure to see ah, I was hiding N smoker to shoot.
