Perform the hand lion dance to welcome Chinese New Year丨舞狮过大年

To welcome Chinese New Year, the hand lion dance was recently performed at Dulwich College Shanghai Puxi. It is a national intangible cultural heritage item in China.

Then teachers and students followed the national intangible culture inheritors to dance together and experienced traditional Chinese culture. They also enjoyed a dragon dance performance. The activity brought teachers and students a pleasant and unforgettable experience.

An international teacher said, “I feel very honored to see a Chinese culture performed through the lion dance. I had a lot of fun and so did my students.” “It was fantastic to be a part of this experience. I really enjoyed myself,” said another international teacher.

An intangible culture inheritor said, “I have seen that the students from different countries performed the hand lion dance.  I am very delighted. The hand lion dance is a national intangible cultural heritage item. I hope that more students could learn about it and the hand lion dance could be handed down from generation to generation.”

为庆祝新春佳节，近日，国家级非物质文化遗产项目——马桥手狮舞走进上海德威外籍人员子女学校（浦西）。

现场，师生们跟随非遗传承人一起舞狮，感受中国传统文化魅力。他们还欣赏了舞龙表演，本次活动给师生们带来了一次快乐难忘的经历。

一位国际教师说：“很荣幸看到中国文化里的舞狮表演。我很快乐，我的学生们也感到很开心。”另一位国际教师说：“能参与舞狮表演，感觉太棒了！很享受今天的快乐时光。”

马桥手狮舞的非遗传承人表示，看到来自不同国家的小朋友舞动手狮，他非常高兴。让我们的国家级非遗项目马桥手狮舞被更多国家的小朋友了解，希望我们的手狮舞代代相传。
