This name was use until the late Qing dynasty till the 17 years of “Ming Gua” (people replublic of China). This name changes after the 3rd May 1928 incident where many Jingnan people of China were tortured and killed by the Japanese and China was name as “The Sick Asians”. The name was change because the word “Rui”- Auspicious in Cantonese is pronounce as “Shui”-Sleeping. So, in Cantonese it is pronounce as sleeping lion instead of auspicious lion. When the Chinese people awoke and realized the importance of nationalistic, the “Rui-lion” was change to “Shing” Lion which mean Awaken lion.]]> 2021-09-21 16:50:33 UTC https://padlet.com/k1916690/clzvhtd1sj0jynq6/wish/1757843109 k1916690 https://padlet.com/k1916690/clzvhtd1sj0jynq6/wish/1757936399 2021-09-21 17:23:26 UTC https://padlet.com/k1916690/clzvhtd1sj0jynq6/wish/1757936399 k1916690 https://padlet.com/k1916690/clzvhtd1sj0jynq6/wish/1757975850 2021-09-21 17:37:58 UTC https://padlet.com/k1916690/clzvhtd1sj0jynq6/wish/1757975850 k1916690 https://padlet.com/k1916690/clzvhtd1sj0jynq6/wish/1757987846 2021-09-21 17:42:37 UTC https://padlet.com/k1916690/clzvhtd1sj0jynq6/wish/1757987846 k1916690 https://padlet.com/k1916690/clzvhtd1sj0jynq6/wish/1758098456 2021-09-21 18:24:47 UTC https://padlet.com/k1916690/clzvhtd1sj0jynq6/wish/1758098456 k1916690 https://padlet.com/k1916690/clzvhtd1sj0jynq6/wish/1758134063 2021-09-21 18:40:00 UTC https://padlet.com/k1916690/clzvhtd1sj0jynq6/wish/1758134063 k1916690 https://padlet.com/k1916690/clzvhtd1sj0jynq6/wish/1758145815 2021-09-21 18:45:15 UTC https://padlet.com/k1916690/clzvhtd1sj0jynq6/wish/1758145815 k1916690 https://padlet.com/k1916690/clzvhtd1sj0jynq6/wish/1758147603 2021-09-21 18:46:03 UTC https://padlet.com/k1916690/clzvhtd1sj0jynq6/wish/1758147603 k1916690 https://padlet.com/k1916690/clzvhtd1sj0jynq6/wish/1758149932 2021-09-21 18:47:11 UTC https://padlet.com/k1916690/clzvhtd1sj0jynq6/wish/1758149932 k1916690 https://padlet.com/k1916690/clzvhtd1sj0jynq6/wish/1769207061 2021-09-26 20:40:36 UTC https://padlet.com/k1916690/clzvhtd1sj0jynq6/wish/1769207061 k1916690 https://padlet.com/k1916690/clzvhtd1sj0jynq6/wish/1769208099 2021-09-26 20:41:36 UTC https://padlet.com/k1916690/clzvhtd1sj0jynq6/wish/1769208099 k1916690 https://padlet.com/k1916690/clzvhtd1sj0jynq6/wish/1769926075 2021-09-27 03:56:15 UTC https://padlet.com/k1916690/clzvhtd1sj0jynq6/wish/1769926075 k1916690 https://padlet.com/k1916690/clzvhtd1sj0jynq6/wish/1769953075 2021-09-27 04:10:04 UTC https://padlet.com/k1916690/clzvhtd1sj0jynq6/wish/1769953075 k1916690 https://padlet.com/k1916690/clzvhtd1sj0jynq6/wish/1769968954 2021-09-27 04:18:37 UTC https://padlet.com/k1916690/clzvhtd1sj0jynq6/wish/1769968954 k1916690 https://padlet.com/k1916690/clzvhtd1sj0jynq6/wish/1769976470 2021-09-27 04:22:55 UTC https://padlet.com/k1916690/clzvhtd1sj0jynq6/wish/1769976470 k1916690 https://padlet.com/k1916690/clzvhtd1sj0jynq6/wish/1769977614 2021-09-27 04:23:34 UTC https://padlet.com/k1916690/clzvhtd1sj0jynq6/wish/1769977614 k1916690 https://padlet.com/k1916690/clzvhtd1sj0jynq6/wish/1769981468 2021-09-27 04:25:35 UTC https://padlet.com/k1916690/clzvhtd1sj0jynq6/wish/1769981468 k1916690 https://padlet.com/k1916690/clzvhtd1sj0jynq6/wish/1769982077 2021-09-27 04:25:57 UTC https://padlet.com/k1916690/clzvhtd1sj0jynq6/wish/1769982077 k1916690 https://padlet.com/k1916690/clzvhtd1sj0jynq6/wish/1769986753 2021-09-27 04:28:33 UTC https://padlet.com/k1916690/clzvhtd1sj0jynq6/wish/1769986753 k1916690 https://padlet.com/k1916690/clzvhtd1sj0jynq6/wish/1769987395 2021-09-27 04:28:55 UTC https://padlet.com/k1916690/clzvhtd1sj0jynq6/wish/1769987395 k1916690 https://padlet.com/k1916690/clzvhtd1sj0jynq6/wish/1769990012 2021-09-27 04:30:23 UTC https://padlet.com/k1916690/clzvhtd1sj0jynq6/wish/1769990012 Chinatown sketches k1916690 https://padlet.com/k1916690/clzvhtd1sj0jynq6/wish/1769993435 2021-09-27 04:32:18 UTC https://padlet.com/k1916690/clzvhtd1sj0jynq6/wish/1769993435 k1916690 https://padlet.com/k1916690/clzvhtd1sj0jynq6/wish/1770505965 2021-09-27 08:58:52 UTC https://padlet.com/k1916690/clzvhtd1sj0jynq6/wish/1770505965 k1916690 https://padlet.com/k1916690/clzvhtd1sj0jynq6/wish/1770506697 2021-09-27 08:59:13 UTC https://padlet.com/k1916690/clzvhtd1sj0jynq6/wish/1770506697 k1916690 https://padlet.com/k1916690/clzvhtd1sj0jynq6/wish/1770509523 2021-09-27 09:00:36 UTC https://padlet.com/k1916690/clzvhtd1sj0jynq6/wish/1770509523 k1916690 https://padlet.com/k1916690/clzvhtd1sj0jynq6/wish/1770510189 2021-09-27 09:00:58 UTC https://padlet.com/k1916690/clzvhtd1sj0jynq6/wish/1770510189 k1916690 https://padlet.com/k1916690/clzvhtd1sj0jynq6/wish/1770510794 2021-09-27 09:01:18 UTC https://padlet.com/k1916690/clzvhtd1sj0jynq6/wish/1770510794 k1916690 https://padlet.com/k1916690/clzvhtd1sj0jynq6/wish/1770511756 2021-09-27 09:01:45 UTC https://padlet.com/k1916690/clzvhtd1sj0jynq6/wish/1770511756 k1916690 https://padlet.com/k1916690/clzvhtd1sj0jynq6/wish/1770512658 2021-09-27 09:02:14 UTC https://padlet.com/k1916690/clzvhtd1sj0jynq6/wish/1770512658 Design k1916690 https://padlet.com/k1916690/clzvhtd1sj0jynq6/wish/1770674419 The Eyes: The eyes of the mascot are as big as saucers making it easy for them to see evil spirits. These evil spirits are the enemy of lion, it’s what they fight off and keep away from the community for the rest of the year.

The Horn: The horn of the lion is its weapon. It’s what they use to fight the evil spirits who bring misfortune and chaos to the people that the lion protects.

The Ribbon: The ribbon tied around the lion’s horn serve two purposes. First, it tells if the lion is awake or asleep. A sleeping lion doesn’t have a ribbon tied around its horn, and are therefore not used during a lion dance. Second, the ribbon tells the gender of the lion. A red ribbon signifies a female while a green ribbon signifies a male.

The Mouth:The mouth of the lion is for eating, obviously. And the lion will eat close to anything.

Lion dances, along with dragon dances which are a completely different thing, have been used to celebrate the Chinese New Year for centuries. These spectacular portrayal of playful beasts are believed to fight off bad luck for the Chinese people, and help draw in peace and prosperity for the rest of the year.

I do wish I took more development photos during the process but the manic creating of the head took it out of me. I would like to develop this idea further and the constitution of a costume as I want to explore the kidcore aesthetic more - the bright tackiness of it that compliments the bold designs of traditional lion costumes. Whilst I went outside of my comfort zone to create this head piece - the design of it is quite tame in comparison to actual lion costumes. I want to figure how far I can continue this as a project as I feel like I've only touched the surface of the culture of Chinese lion dancing.]]> 2021-09-27 12:01:26 UTC https://padlet.com/k1916690/clzvhtd1sj0jynq6/wish/1770841724 k1916690 https://padlet.com/k1916690/clzvhtd1sj0jynq6/wish/1776056297 2021-09-28 22:07:43 UTC https://padlet.com/k1916690/clzvhtd1sj0jynq6/wish/1776056297
