- Description:
The Lantern Festival depicts children dancing lions in the courtyard during the Spring Festival. The lion dance can exorcise evil spirits and ghosts. Two children dance a lion together. The lion’s head is bright in color and finely made. The other person holds a colored ball or wears a mask to tease the lion in front, and the other person plays a peace drum to immerse himself in a lively atmosphere. Three women and their children were watching in the corridor. The children holding pomegranates symbolized having more children and grandchildren. Another child holds a bat shaped lamp, which means good luck. Everlasting youth means longevity and health all the year round.
