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.
