Lion dance taboo:

During the Spring Festival, the lion dance team adds a lot of atmosphere to the festival, but at the same time, there are also many taboos. In the past, if you accidentally made a taboo, you would be kicked out of the house, or you would get into trouble.

First, it is forbidden to see the gods and not pay homage to them in lion dance.

In the tradition of Hakka polytheism, every village and residence has a patron saint, who is the spiritual pillar of every village and residence. The lion dance team must pay homage after passing through the altar, otherwise it will be regarded as impolite and look down on the villagers, and the villagers in the village will not pay for the lion dance team.

Second, the lion dance is prohibited from performing from the new house.

In traditional folk customs, people who dance lions in front of their ancestral houses cannot be invited to dance lions in their new houses. It is said that this provision is related to Hakka ancestor worship.

3. Lion dancing is forbidden to enter the fence from the right.

In traditional folk customs, it is considered that there is a small piece on the right and a large piece on the left, and all the surrounding houses are on the left. Therefore, the lion dance team must enter the surrounding houses from the left, and the lion comes from the left (large), which means that the dragon and lion leap forward, and both people and money are empty.

So the lion dance team is forbidden to enter the paddock from the right. Moreover, before entering the enclosed house, you must take the T-step and knock Ding Gong to enter the enclosed house to pay homage, so as to wish the house a prosperous New Year.

In traditional folk customs, lion dancers are forbidden to sit in front of closed houses. According to legend, women in enclosed houses usually watch the lion dance under the eaves. The lion dancer sits under the eaves with his back to the eaves, and the woman stands behind to watch the lion dance. If they sit face to face, they will be regarded as neglected and left out.

Five, it is forbidden to disturb the drums.

Traditional drums are divided into fast gongs, slow gongs, lion gongs and dragon gongs. If you fight indiscriminately, it will be regarded as disrespectful to our family and expelled.

Six, the gods forbid blowing out lanterns and lanterns in front of the gods.

In front of the magic lamp, each lamp represents a new person. The brighter the lights, the more prosperous the newcomers are. If you accidentally blow out the light, it's a gift or deportation.

Seven, comity

If the lion dance team meets a lion in the enclosure, or a lion dance team that comes earlier than itself, it should bow to the lion's head three times to show courtesy and respect.
