Origin: All lions are coming out of the South China Sea
According to the book “The History, Culture and Skills of Lions in the South China Sea” edited by Xie Zhongyuan and Li Nianzhong, lions were not produced in the Middle Ages in my country, and lions were tributes from outside the region. Among them, the records of tribute lions in the “Book of the Later Han Dynasty” are the earliest.
With the introduction of Cinema lion taming skills were also introduced accordingly, and lion dance was popular during the Three Kingdoms period. During the Northern Wei Dynasty, lion dance was often performed in combination with evil-proof tactics. Nowadays, the style of the two people dancing lions is roughly mature in the Tang Dynasty. During the Song Dynasty, lion dances were introduced from the palace to the people and gradually became popular.
The lion dance in the South China Sea area is a lion dance outside the territory that is introduced through the Western Regions and then through the Central Plains, and that is, it develops on the basis of the southern transmission of the northern lion.
According to Cao Jianheng’s “The Spring and Autumn of Wulin in Guangdong” (1982), lion dance in Guangdong originated in Foshan. Local people believed that lions had the effect of exorcising evil spirits and suppressing demons. Later, Babaylan beat gongs and drums during the Spring Festival, and transferred houses to dance lions to greet New Year to show elimination of disasters and harm and predict good fortune. Over time, lion dance and New Year greetings became a Cinema custom.
The Qianlong version of Foshan Zhongyi Township Chronicle also records that in September of the 14th year of Zhengtong in the Ming Dynasty (1449), when Huang Xiaoyang led his people to rebel in Nanhai County, people from all over the country played the role of a story, scaring away the rebels with gongs and drums, which promoted the prosperity of the custom of waking up the lion.
The real name of the lion is “Rui Lion”, but the homophonic is easy to pronounce as “Sleeping Lion”, and later changed to “Lui Waking”. After the 1980s, the lion dance gradually developed from a folk activity with folk belief characteristics to a standardized and competitive traditional national sports, and even became the most widely circulated, influential and “popular” culture and sports in the world. Under the changes in the era, the South China Sea lions were not only widely spread in the province, but also spread to Guangxi, Hainan, Hong Kong, Macau, Taiwan and other regions, and were also popular overseas. “The world’s lions all come out of the South China Sea.”
Born: The lion regiment has begun to show its sword light
In 2022, on the basis of the comprehensive “Lion Census”, the Nanhai Province excavated from more than 2,700 lion teams in the region, and 12 representative, inherited and innovative lions formed the Nanhai Province Lion regiment.
Under the interpretation of different lion dancers, lions also have their own characteristics, including the “cute baby” little lion girl Aping, and the slashes that have become popular on the entire network due to “sleepiness”, as well as the Zong Lion Feihong, the Houlang Lion Anzai, the Yuanqi Lion Lezai, and the old lion Fu Afeng… As the name suggests, each lion has distinct personality characteristics and also represents a group on the South China Sea.
The first priority for the lion group to debut is to go out. On February 26, 2022, Nanhai District held the first lion group birthday, and the first batch of 12 lions that formed a group officially debuted. At the same time, the South China Sea Lion Group celebrated the New Year to Chinese people around the world during the New Year of the Tiger, and “Cinema wakes up the national soul and beats the drum to boost the spirit” resonate with the entire network.
Nanhai also combined the spread of the lion group with the popular movie “The Lion Boy” to create a live-action version of “The Lion Boy”. The 3-minute video became popular as soon as it was released. Statistics from the video account of the first release platform “Nanhai Release” show that the number of views on a single platform has reached nearly 400,000, and has received more than 12,000 likes. Among the more than 400 comments, “tap water”-style praise is sensation. The South China Sea Lion Group has also triggered a phenomenal boom through the spread of multiple platforms, becoming a “hot product” on the Internet and is deeply loved by young people.
