Investigation on the high difficulty transformation of lion dance techniques in Foshan
The technique of lion dance in Foshan has undergone transformation towards higher difficulty.The first reason for this is that the elite of lion dance inheritors accepted and promoted the southern lion dance with northern lion dance based on the need for innovative performances,and its explicit symbol is the creation of the lotus pile lion dance.The second reason is to introduce the Malaysian high stakes lion and promote its high difficulty skills.This transformation is essentially the result of cultural assimilation triggered by the interaction and interaction of lion dance cultures between the north and south of China,as well as domestic and foreign cultures,and there exists a game and juxtaposition of change and constancy.Furthermore,this transformation is also a process of synchronous growth,integration,mutual embedding,and irreversible coexistence of diverse lion dance cultures,reflecting the diversity of Foshan lion dance culture.
