Later Green lion with black beard for Zhao zi long, yellow/ with white beard Huang Zhong. White with black markings and black beard Ma Chao-but this is used only for funeral lion. so some manufacture use blue for Ma Zhao. The concept of the lion and not the dance is that they are the Fu/Foo Dogs in heaven. Concept of northern and southern only refers to the region where the dance is developed.
The lion with orange hemp fur is the northern lion or northern beijing lion. Female denoted by greenish-blue bow and male by red bow. Southern Cantonese lions are the others. Traditionally the tails were 9-12 feet. Whether they were fat san or hok san. The original 3 colors were yellow with multi colored marking and white beard for liu bei, red with black marking and long black beard for guan Gong, Black with white and green markings for Zhang Fei.
@GoodisTea The dance is called a lion dance, not dog dance. I used to lion dance when I was younger. They are a symbol of good luck and strength. The southern lions in my opnion look better and allow for more color customization.
i swear hu eva watched this movie will get u into lion dance man i wen i was small after i watched this i wanted to do lion dance lol and it been i donno 6 years and im finnally doing it :D
southern lion may look strange without fur, but those ones are the traditional ones. Furry ones are there just to make it look nice! We need more of the tradional ones around!!
the white n colorful one is the liu bie the black one is the zeng fie and the black n red one is the gwong gwung plus the golden yellow southern lion is the jong hoon
right you are theagent3. i totally agree with you. cept i think you left out the gold/yellow lions. from what i know white lions means peace, black means war, and forgot the last one. i'm a traditionalist too. many of modern lions can't compare to the good old traditional southern ones (IMO).
Oh yeah, this movie is pretty much my childhood. Anybody here by anychance watched this movie, got inspired to lion dance, and then begged mum and dad to let you join a troupe?
If you look at only the Southern Style Lions, those are the original 3 designs. The multi-color with the white beard, the red with the black beard, and the all black one. Based on the 3 character of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms Period.
Lau Bei, Kwan Gung, and Cheung Fei.
I do not care for today's funky style lions with all those funky colors. They maybe more creative, but I guess I am a Traditionalist.
this is my favorite opening.... i love it! mainly the lion heads. i wish they made it like this nowadays, you dont see many of em, even though i have one myself XP its a little small for me..... hahaha
can someone help me, im looking for a certain jet li movie, i think its one of the China Trilogys but im not sure, ITs the one where its more of a comedy, jet li has a mother who kicks ass at foghting too, and she gets hit on by the queen...does anyone know which one it is?
omg. the old southern lions look so much damn better than the modern ones (malaysian) blue lion? i mean wtf man. the fur color on the lions has purpose and reason. all in the chinese history =)
Thank you. I absolutely despise the new fluffy, cuddly modern lion heads that are out these days. Lucky for me, my benevolent association still uses the old school traditional lion heads. It's an appreciation of our roots and history, passing down the history from previous generations to the next, more importantly, the old school lion heads look more fierce.
omgosh this movie is so friggin awesome. there's rarely anymore of those lions made now cuz of the malaysian lions with ridiculous colors such as BLUE or like orange. they don't stand for anything. ridiculous
this movie is kick ass, and also the like the orange ugly looking lions are the ones from the south and the other better looking ones are from the north
that is so true but their good. i like every single one of his movies but somehow not that much of the ones he does in america..i like him in chinese cinema better, it's more original than the american ones, are too graphic that it made the actions look fake..and yea too much matrix styles..
Wong Fei Hung is a Chinese Hero and Legend, he was a great martial artist and one of the greatest healers in the history of the world, Once Upon a Time in China is one of the greatest movies in China (not opinion, fact)
