Good Morning everyone! Today I´ve like to share with you about a special thing for me.
The thing is a ´lion´, but not a real and huge lion, so don´t worry about that(hhahah). It´s a ´lion dance´ I bought in China this year. I love lion dance so much, there´s a deep relationship between ´us´.
The Lion dance is a traditional dance in Chinese culture, there´s two performer in a lion costume and imitating lion movements, and one playing the drum, two-three person playing cymbals and one playing gong. I started leaning the drum in 5 years old because my neighbor is a grandmaster in ´lion dance´, and I learned it quickly, in one year I learned the three star drum, seven star drum and the ´local traditional´ drum. After that, I started to learn Lion dance, this part is very hard, because the performer in a lion costume need to collaborate with the drum. However, I´ve spend my time in something I like, no matter is difficult or something else, so I learned it no more than two years.
When I grow up, I told myself that in one day I´ll buy a ´lion dance´, because it´s meaningful with that experience, I look it, I learn it, and I play it. I still remember the first time I participated in lion dance(played the drum) in my village in Chinese new year, when I was 8 years old, there´s no mistake and played very well.
I bought a lion dance with yellow and gold color, the same color with the ´lion dance´ in my village, which mean loyalty. This type of lion looks more cute and peaceful because it´s modern foshan style, and the ´lion dance´ we use in our village is traditional heshan style, the face it´s a little bit aggressive.
