(230206) -- FOSHAN, Feb. 6, 2023 (Xinhua) -- A giant costume of the "Lion King" is on display during a parade in Foshan, south China's Guangdong Province, Jan. 15, 2023. The Guangdong Lion Dance, which was listed as a national intangible cultural heritage in 2006, is a combination of martial arts, dance and music. It originated from the royal lion dance during the Tang Dynasty (618-907) and was later introduced to the south by migrants from the north. The Guangdong Lion Dance developed into its modern form during the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644). In Chinese tradition, people regard the lion as a symbol of braveness and strength, which can drive away evil and protect humans and livestock. Dancing on the poles makes the art a gripping spectacle. There are usually poles of heights between 1.2 meters and 2.5 meters with up to 1.8 meters between them. Lion Dancers have to practice very hard to avoid tumbling to the ground. The Guangdong Lion Dance is popular not only in Guangdong Province, but also among the overseas
