About Chinese Lion Dance:
Many who see a Chinese Lion Dance performed, and even many of the performers, do not stop to reflect on the symbolisms being presented. However, by understanding them, a greater appreciation for this ancient ritual can be gained. Insights obtained from studying the meanings of the ritual and myths surrounding it will also be helpful in studying the origin and development of the Lion Dance.
Using both books and my own personal experience of over ten years of performing the Lion Dance, I will start with a brief history detailing both the origin as well as the modern view for cultural context. From there, I will begin an in-depth study into the meanings of the symbolisms presented in each aspect of the dance. The third section of the paper will focus on the myths that have arisen concerning the Lion (especially his link to Buddhism).
For the second and third sections of the paper, I will make use of books such as Carl Jung's Man and His Symbols to interpret the symbolism. This presents a possible drawback of the paper in that it will be using Western methods of thought to interpret Eastern rituals. However, if, as Jung and I believe, the symbols that man uses are universal, then the problem dissolves.
