Historical Origin
The origin of lion dance is widely debated in the long history. One popular theory is related to the opening of the Silk Road in the Han Dynasty. At that time, envoys from the Western Regions brought lions as tribute, and meanwhile, the lion - taming dance from West Asia was introduced into China, which was the embryonic form of lion dance. As time went by, lion dance gradually integrated into Chinese local culture and continued to evolve and develop.
