Introduction | 简介

For reference, I'm posting a smaller version of the original photo before post-processing.

这张没黑白化的照片在这里让大家参考。

In Singapore, our city where a large population is of Chinese origin, the Lion Dance is commonly performed for various festivals and events for auspicious reason. During the Lunar Year Year, you will hear the drum beats for the lion dance in various parts of the city during many times of the day. It is also common to have lion dance performed when a new shop or office is opened. The lions for the Chinese lion dance includes:

Northern Lion which I think the moves are more graceful
Southern Lion which I think the moves are more agressive displaying strength

Lion dance is very much our culture. The soul of a city is very much intertwined with culture. Read this report for more:
The soul of the city

在新加坡的人口，华人占了多数。所以会经常看到舞狮。在各节日和商店或公司开幕都免不了请来舞狮团讨个好彩头。在农历年期间，在全国不同的地方不同的时间都会听到舞狮的鼓声。舞狮分两种：

北狮 - 我认为北师动作比较优雅

南狮 - 我认为南狮动作比较雄伟

舞狮是我们的文化。一个城市的灵魂与文化是分布开的。懂英文的朋友可看页关于”城市的灵魂“：
