舞獅(english)

舞獅英文: Lion dance


Lion dance (Traditional Chinese: 舞獅; pinyin: wǔshī) is a form of traditional dance in Chinese culture, in which performers mimic the lion's movements in a lion costume.
The lion costume may be operated by a single dancer, but rarely is, or by a pair of dancers. The single dancer springs about while energetically moving and shaking the head and operating the jaws and eyes. The pair of dancers, forming the back and fore legs of the beast is seen perfected in the exhibitions of Chinese acrobats, with the two dancers forming as a team the motions of a single animal as they move between platforms of varying elevations. The dance is traditionally accompanied by gongs, drums and firecrackers, representing the descent of good luck.

舞獅的Enflish係Lion dance.

中國並不出產獅子，獅子傳入中國約在漢代。由於古俗謂獅子可驅邪避鬼，因而被祀為神獸，又能克惡魔，因此宮廟前、或欄杆、橋頭等都安置有石獅。加以獅子的圖紋在中國的民間故事傳說裡，為一種驅魔避邪、鎮宅招福的象徵，因此為借助獅子萬獸之王的威靈及驅邪招福的宗教儀式象徵行為，在台灣民間各鄉鎮城市，每逢神誕祭典或賽會，都會有舞獅的表演。

我在學校搞新年event時,用的英文是lion show or lion dance show,因為是舞獅表演。

不過我覺得lion show已經好能令人明白了~~~~~

相信呢排學生們都要作新年為題的題目了。抑或有舞獅表演??

希望幫到你。
