Lion dance has a long history. It is a product of cultural exchange between China and western regions. As early as 1900 years ago, Persia carried out bilateral commercial trade with China through the Silk Road, which together promoted cultural exchanges between the two countries. The Persian envoys also transported lions and other animals to our country. At that time, lions were not produced in the Central Plains of China. But following the friendly exchanges between ancient China, West Asia, India and other countries, more lions came to our territory.

    The lion is known as the king of beasts, and our country is usually not affected by the lion, so the people have a cordial feeling for the lion, regard it as a symbol of bravery and luck, and expect to use the image of lion to drive away evil spirits, form a lion shape to suppress or demonstrate.

    China's society has always been based on agriculture, the change of cooperative solar terms and agricultural days, festivals or celebrations to greet God arise at the historic moment. In these festivals, for the sake of peace and tranquility, people have evolved to exorcise ghosts and entertain gods with gods or auspicious animals, which gradually has the meaning of entertaining folk people. Following the lion's love, we are not satisfied with the artistic image of lion on piers, eaves, stone fences, seals and New Year pictures. They want to make lions live. So they invented the dance imitating the lion's behavior, and then improved and developed it into a common art of the Chinese nation. At present, lion dance is the main international lion dance competition. Each team is equipped with a stake and a steel line as a race prop. These posts represent mountains and iron bridges. A lion's art competition or performance should have a good story for romance. For example, in order to collect green, the lion did not skimp on the steep mountains, crossed the cable bridge, and through many hardships, reached its intention. In the whole period, lions should show eight states: joy, anger, sadness, joy, movement, quiet, surprise and doubt. The lion's step gait, lion's head and lion tail's cooperation and drum music match are also needed. True animals can be seen in shape. And the lion dance props are all dead things. The lion dances can be appreciated by the lion dances if they display their various dynamics and cooperate with vivid footwork.

    Chinese Kungfu pays attention to horse steps. People put many Kungfu steps into the lion dance.

    The lion dance is mainly composed of Siping horse, accompanied by jumping gait, Kirin gait, cross-sense gait, bow step, Ding step, empty step, backstep, step and various kinds of steps.

    The lion's tail must be in harmony. The lion must cooperate with the rhythm of drum music and act in the same way. The rhythm of drum music is clear, light, heavy, fast, slow and orderly, so that it can play a wonderful lion art.
