Chinese New Year: What Kung Hei Fat Choy.
“Kung Hei” literally translates to congratulations, and “Fat Choy” means become prosperous or fortune, so together, the phrase means along the lines of “wishing you prosperity and good fortune”.
The lion dance is a form of traditional dance in China. It is normally operated by two dancers in lion costumes. With the loud music of gongs and drums, one dancer manipulates the lion's head while the other manipulates the lion's body, imitating a lion's various movements.
The lion dance is usually performed at Chinese traditional festivals such as Chinese New Year or important occasions such as business opening events.
The Symbol of Lion Dance
Known as the king of all animals, the lion symbolizes power. As China is generally free from lion infestation, the lion has a good impression on Chinese people. People take it as a symbol of good fortune and believe it can drive away evils. That's why many Chinese mansions have two stone lions at the entrance.
Chinese people were not satisfied with the static image of the lion standing on the gates and eaves, they wanted the lion to come alive. Therefore, people created a dance that simulated the lion's behavior, and it later developed into a unique art of Chinese culture.
