Below I have collected the dragon and lion dance essay for your enjoyment.

Part 1: Lion Dance

"Dong dong dong dong, dong dong dong dong." This is where the sound of gongs and drums come from, knocking how intense it is? Hey, how did what happened to the big event, the pedestrian on the road how the sea of people it? It's just time to eat, these people are remembering what to do? "?" In my mind came to life, my curiosity is getting stronger, I do not care about eating, then put down the rice bowl, with my grandmother with the tide of people to a temple, the sound of the gongs and drums are getting louder and louder, it is in here. Oh, what did I expect? It turned out to be the Lantern Festival, the "Lion Dance"! I followed my grandmother slowly to the inside, wow, the inside of the brilliant, candlelight, from all sides of the village to watch the lion dance performance. As far as I could see, what were the big men standing in front of the candles doing? Started the lion dance, two old men wearing fancy pants drilled into the lion body, pants just fit into a big lion, drums and gongs together into a lion dance sound, people holding the lion ball yelled, the lion followed the lion ball ran up, the lion seems to be angry, feet on the ground stomped to the ground, and then it is in front of the feet lifted, and then chased after the lion ball run non-stop, as if to say: "This ball belongs to me, give it back to me!" Finally, it went straight up and grabbed it, but the man was not giving it, and said: "If it is returned to you, then you have to be good with me.

So the lion agreed. The man then led the lion, came to the Buddhist temple of the lord (Buddha) 's 'front to worship three times, and do not know what to do, is it trying to let the Lord to give them to do the agreement. Haha! I can't guess oh can't guess ah!

Look at this lion dance, I remembered the child when I was young and partners drilled under the covers with the lion dance, then also small and do not know what it is a matter of learning adults to dance with the dance, in the blink of an eye will grow up, and now recall really a little bit funny! I'm not sure if you're going to be able to do that!

Part II: Lion Dance

On the 15th day of the first month of the Lantern Festival, I heard my grandmother say that there would be a dragon dance and a lion dance show outside. I want to go to see, so I pestered my grandmother to take me out to play.

Once out of the neighborhood, the outside can really be described as a sea of people, my grandmother and I struggled to navigate through the crowd. At this time I vaguely heard the sound of drums, follow the sound to find, only to see the Cao Chancellor House outside a circle of thick "human wall". The children stood in the car or riding on the neck of adults to watch with great interest, the adults stretched their necks to look inside. I was even more curious, and wanted to explore, so I tried my best to get into the wall and stood in the front row. I saw some old men and women beating gongs and drums, and two lions jumping around in the center. These two lions are very good-looking, big and round eyes, especially spiritual, blood bowl mouth open and close, under the hanging soft whiskers. The two lions, one gold and one silver, looked a bit stupid because their heads were so big that they took up a quarter of their whole body.

I was sizing up the two lions when the golden lion strutted toward me, shaking its bulky head violently at me and glaring at me with its big eyes, which startled me. The lion walked away triumphantly. "This lion is naughty." I thought. A moment later the golden lion jumped onto the high platform with a stomp of its hind feet, followed by the silver lion. The golden lion jumped, straight up and jumped down, and took the red embroidered ball. The stage erupted into a mountain of applause, accompanied by a burst of applause. The golden lion landed on the ground, wagging its tail, holding the red embroidered ball to the silver lion to show off. The silver lion was a little afraid, hesitating on the stage, the audience gave the silver lion applause to encourage the silver lion, the silver lion stood up boldly. "Punt", the silver lion's head planted down. People's hearts were in their throats, but the silver lion stood up again unharmed. It turned out that it hadn't fallen down at all, but was joking with the audience! Golden lion also jumped down, the two lions on the ground twisted together, causing people to laugh. Just when the wonderful time, grandma came to call me, said it is time to go home to eat, I had to reluctantly leave.

Along the way, just the lion dance scene one by one in my mind, it is too wonderful. At the same time, I had to marvel at the infinite charm of traditional Chinese culture. I wish time could be reversed, I really want to see the lion dance again.

Part III: Lion Dance

"Hundreds of miles of different winds, thousands of miles of different customs." Every place has its own customs and habits. But what impresses me most is the lion dance in Dongguan.

Around the third grade, we went to a car show and set off. In a temporary shed outside the gathering of many people, I can not help but be curious, they squeezed in to see, this look, see the thing that I still remember - this is a lion dance.

This majestic big lion controlled by two people, but just two little brother. Is the body of the golden light, two big eyes blinking, seems to smile, but also seems to be pitiful. Blinking and blinking, so cute! "Knock knock ......" drums suddenly changed, the lion with the rhythm, a turn on the steps, a moment and then turned his head; turn around, constantly doing difficult actions. Sometimes make people laugh, sometimes let us hold our breath for it; sometimes turn your head, sometimes jump. This is, the narrator sounded: "Ladies and gentlemen, now the lion has reached the highest place, which means step by step. Now, all of us on the staff wish people every step of the way; grown-ups to be on an even keel, and children to make progress in their studies!" Immediately, from the backstage (behind the curtain) flew out many red envelopes, one of which flew to my head. I reached out to take it down, joyfully opened the red packet: 10 dollars! Hehehe~

"Lulu--" came the shout from outside. I had to be reluctant to leave the shed that made my eyes feast.

This time the lion dance is really good!

Part IV: Dragon Dance

The dragon, an ancient legend of a scales, horns, whiskers, claws, and can make rain in the clouds 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 before and after the Lantern Festival, people all over the country to dance the dragon 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 from generation to generation, thriving.

I really like the dragon dance show, 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 dragon dance, also known as "playing dragon lanterns", is one of the forms of Han folk dance, 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 V: Dragon and Lion Dance

On vacation, students went home, play to play. Only the members of our college dragon and lion dance team still insist on training every day, two practice a day.

The high bench is set up in mid-air, and the leader holds the embroidered ball and guides a pair of domineering lions to jump up and down on the two-meter-high bench, 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 dragon and lion dance is a traditional Chinese national sport that nurtures Chinese culture. I'm beginning to like the dragon and lion dance more and more, although this holiday can not be fully committed to practicing the lion, but our pair of lions will remain the first lion in the dragon and lion team!
