im looking at the books about Asian China and Japan. there are so many things that fascinate me to the cutler, building, landscape and art so many things i don't know why I'm so interested maybe the fact they are different i love different the "other" places that i don't know.
what caught my eye was the festivals i don't really know a lot about them. so what i found out was that they are an important part of Chinese culture and tradition, festivals are generally happy and colorful affairs that reaffirm ancient beliefs and customs the biggest and most important festival is spring festival, or Chinese New Year. This brings families together for several days: the home is cleaned and everyone dresses up in new clothes: decorations are put up and gifts are exchanged; and finally there is always time for a lively and noisy carnival climaxing in a brilliant display of pyrotechnics. Nearly all the festival elements and rituals are geared towards bringing good luck and prosperity. in business all debts should be settled by Chinese New Year. Overall the festivities last about 15 days about the hole country closes down for only four.
lion dance - preformed at the new year and other festivals. usually two people are required to play the lion. The dance demands more martial arts skills than the dragon dance also preformed on these occasions. this
