Tuesday Photo Challenge – Golden Lion Dance
“This week’s theme of Golden flows forth from the wondrous tones that I discovered on the island of Skye.” – Frank
We were invited to attend my friend Dr. Edward Wong’s 80th Birthday Party. In Chinese culture, Lion Dance is a common feature in major events such as Chinese New Year, an opening of a new store, or major anniversary of a business. In this event, it was Dr. Wong’s 80th Birthday. He is a successful business man. His guests included Congressperson, Assemblyman, City Counsels, other government officials, and business owners.
The Décor of the party was the red, yellow, and golden colors that signify positive energy and prosperity. His Lion Dance team was dressed in those colors.

The Golden and Red Lions

The five lions with the Golden Lion in the center

We had a photo taken with the birthday boy and his loving wife!

It should be in most of the Asian countries during Lunar New Year. Where do you live?

Perhaps you can dress up a monkey to do the dance. Hope this is not offending!

Maybe what you are saying is that its not a great dance, even a monkey could do it. Perhaps. Not having seen it I’m not in a place to judge.

That’s not what I meant. I know the Indian respect the monkey. So I shouldn’t say dress up the monkey.

Sounds like a great occasion, Miriam. The birthday boy certainly doesn’t look 80 years old.
