what culture it is?

It is mesmerising to realise that the globe has diverse cultures and traditions, some known and some kept private to their communities. Out of all, I am pretty drawn toward the traditional Lion Dance of China

how you know about it?

Back in my school days, I was assigned a project to research and write about the most famous traditions worldwide. During my thorough research, I stumbled upon this traditional dance of China. Herein, performers impersonate the movements of a lion while wearing an explicit costume. Apparently, this lion dance intends to bring good fortune and luck. Usually, it is performed during the Chinese New Year and other local traditional, religious and cultural festivals. Apart from that, it can also be performed on imperative occasions, like a business opening, wedding ceremony, etc

what differences there are between that culture and your own?

One of the significant differences between this Chinese culture and the one India follows is that of the procedure to embark on a new journey, be it getting married or opening a business. From where I come – the land of diversity – we either break coconuts or perform pooja to mark the commencement of something prosperous

and explain why you like that foreign culture.

The entire organization of this dance is nothing but fascinating. Their moves are outstanding, and the performers manage to strike a balance, despite wearing such flamboyant costumes
