Since ancient times, the Guangdong lion is considered to be an auspicious thing to drive away evil spirits and avoid harm, every festival, or major activities, there will be a lion to cheer up, lasting, and passed on from generation to generation.

A clear clapper flute evoking the sleeping lion, the dulcimer, the Banhu spirit rang out, and hurried to keep up with the footsteps of the lion. In this lively and lively melody of string weaving, the lions raised their heads, turned their eyes, licked their hair, stretched themselves, jumped on the plum pile, moved, flapped, whirled, and flew, for a time, the lion's fierce and flexible leap in front of them, the scene of jubilation was ready to come out, and the shadow and gloom of the heart were swept away.
