LION DANCE

If you have ever seen a celebration of the Chinese New Year, you may have seen a
large, colorful creature dancing to the sounds of drums, cymbals, and gongs. Of course,
this is not a real beast. It's actually skilled dancers in costume, performing a lion dance.
When these dancers come together, they form the colorful dancing creature!

The lion dance is a traditional part of Chinese culture. It is often performed on the eve of
the Chinese New Year (or Spring Festival). It's also performed for other special
occasions, like weddings. The dance is thought to bring good luck, and prosperity, or
success.

While there are many different tales of how lion dance began, one legend traces it back
to a village in China hundreds of years ago. The legend says that the people of the
village were attacked by a monster called a nien. A lion chased the nien away. But a
year later, the nien returned, and this time the lion was unable to help. So the people of
the village created a lion costume of their own. Their fake lion danced, pranced, roared,
and chased the nien away. For this reason, people perform the lion dance on the night
before the Chinese New Year - they chase evil away for another year.

The lion dance is performed by two dancers. One dancer performs as the lion's head
and front legs, and the other performs as the body and back legs. The head of the lion
costume is made out of materials like papier-mâché and bamboo. The body of the
costume is a long cloth attached to the head.

There are two different styles of lion dance. In a southern lion dance, the dancers base
their performance on a lion's behavior. Their lion may scratch or shake its body. The
dance can even be funny.

The other style is the northern lion dance. This style is closely related to the martial art
form kung fu. It can involve rolling, leaping, and jumping.

Both styles require skill and practice to perform. And both are very entertaining to watch!

WEDDING CUSTOMS

There are different kinds of wedding which usually reflect the customs of the society in
which people live. The most widely accepted form is what is called a traditional wedding:
the couple getting married in church and the bride wearing a long white dress and a veil
and the bridegroom in morning suit. But sometimes people want to have a special
wedding. Here are some examples.
John Kerivan and Grace Prolack chose the waters of the Sea World swimming pool in
Florida to get married. While they were exchanging rings lots of tropical colourful fish
were swimming around them. The bridegroom looks after these fishes daily and he
wanted them to be the witnesses of his marriage.
David and his fiancée got married while they were flying 500 metres high. They went on
three different planes: the bride in the middle one and the bridegroom and the priest on
the other two. Dave is very fond of flying and he wanted a “high level wedding”. When
they landed Dave took his wife in his arms and said “Now our marriage is ready to take
off.
On 25 August 1992 another special wedding was performed at Seoul´s Olympic Stadium
with 29,825 couples being married at the same time. It was the largest mass wedding
ceremony. When the priest said “You are now man and wife” 41,650 persons were
getting married
