This article needs some pictures of the northern lion dance.

This article is mixing two topics into one. One sentence applies to the Northern lions and the next applies to the southern lions. The result is an article that is accurate for neither the northern nor southern variety. Some heavy copy editing and restructuring is needed. Kowloonese 23:16, 29 Oct 2004 (UTC)

OK, without adding or deleting or making major changes to the content, I restructured the article to use logical sections and grouped the information accordingly. I also activated links as available. 198.168.250.127 15:05, 18 Nov 2004 (UTC)

I restored anon deletion of one and two dancer costumes, deleted without justification - can someone please justify this? Leonard G. 20:34, 10 August 2005 (UTC)

4 Where does the Lion come from in ancient Chinese culture?: Celebrating with the Lion Dance

[edit] help pls

hi can some one pls let me no why they do the lion dance thank you

[edit] Vietnam

Since other countries like Korea were mentioned, Vietnam should be included in the article too.

The history of Vietnamese lion dance is almost as long as the Chinese one, nearly a millenium.. While it's obviously Chinese influenced it's also an important part of Vietnamese culture.

It was even chosen as one of the arts to represent Vietnam at the recent APEC held in Vietnam. I added a video link to this in the notes section of the article which you can also see here: viet lion dance.

What I want to know is why a list of liondance troupes were totally deleted. Grrrrrrr(chaoji.org)

[edit] References needed

This article could really use some inline citations, especially for potentially controversial claims like "Nowadays, the businesses do not demand much from the performers, and it is easy money for the martial art schools" or "During the 1950s-60's, people who joined lion dance troupes were “gangster-like”" (both particularly odd with no reference to specific geographical location). - Jmabel | Talk 07:16, 27 July 2007 (UTC)
