(InTibet) CHINA-XIZANG-QAMDO-LION DANCE (CN)
(240121) -- QAMDO, Jan. 21, 2024 (Xinhua) -- Tengpa Anye (L) performs lion dance with his grandson in Xobando Town of Lhorong County in Qamdo City, southwest China's Xizang Autonomous Region, Jan. 19, 2024. Lhorong County, with an average elevation of about 3,700 meters, was once an important stop along the ancient Tea Horse Road and a significant channel for Tibetan-Han exchanges. Locals in Xobando Town injected elements of Tibetan folk dances into the Han lion dance introduced to the town in early years, and created a new performing art -- Xobando lion dance.
Tengpa Anye, 69, who began to learn lion dance from his father at 13, is an inheritor of Xobando lion dance art. In the past, Tengpa had to make lion dance props by himself because the ready-made ones were unaffordable. Nowadays, thanks to improved living conditions and governmental supports, Tengpa and his students have not only access to professionally prepared props but also opportunities to appear at major performance events.
