(living in China)… lion dance …?
lion dance…
the widely spread dance form in China…
introduced in China around Tang Dynasty…
i always wondered one thing?…
why lion dance when there are no lions in China?…
is it that all lions of China ended up on the dining table?…
like is the case with so many endangered species?…
It is believed that the Lion dance came from India when Buddhism was spread to China.

“Lion Dancing has a very long history, which began as a result of the cultural interaction between China and West Asia.”
http://theasiamag.com/pictures/lion-dance
“Lion dances originated in India along with Buddhist lore and ritual. The popular form of lion dancing seen in todays Chinese culture evolved in China, though several countries throughout the Asian region, including Japan, have developed their own styles of lion dance through the centuries.”
