Congratulations, Happy New Year & Dancing Lion

The 4 characters on the left “Gong Ho Hsin Hsi” mean “Congratulations and Happy New Year.” On the right, there is the Dancing Lion holding a banner meaning “All things go as you wish.” The three happy children perform a marching band with fund and joy, and lead the Dancing Lion the way for the New Year celebrations. The children symbolize the purest of “Yang” energy. The look like heavenly lion is dressed in vibrant colors, has protective horns, bright eyes, and a body full of gleaming scales. There are different types of dance to describe the essence of great strength, power, courage and luck of the Lion. It is said that Lion Dancing can dispel bad luck, help overcome obstacles, and welcome in good fortune luck. The Lion Dancing can often be seen at the New Year’s celebrations, at the temples, and grand opening of major financial buildings. It is said that red envelope will bring good luck to the person who receives it and the person who gives it.
