1st day of CNY : Lion Dance 舞狮庆新年

For me, the most excited period in the 1st day of CNY was the lion dance performance in my house. Since 4.30pm, I was waiting for the "lion" to come over.
We hang an "Ang Pao" and lettuce on the front door of my house. That is the "food" for lion.
I love the rhythm of the gong and drum of the lion dance so much.
The lion look like a real playful lion, especially when it wink.
We all should encourage and support more traditional performance so that it can last longer and pass to our posterity.

对我来说,年初一这天最兴奋的环节就是舞狮来我家的时刻。
从4.30pm开始,我就坐在客厅等待着舞狮团的来临。
我们在前门吊着红包和生菜,也在每一个神位前放一封利是。
我非常喜欢舞狮表演时的锣鼓节奏,非常热闹有气氛。
舞狮团舞得非常好,就像一头活生生的、顽皮活泼的狮子,尤其爱看它眨眼睛。
我们大家应该鼓励与支持更多传统表演,让这文化能传承下去。
