画龙点睛

龙的制做,大可分为两种:
一是用草和纸张札成实体的龙,涂上色彩,披上绮罗,由舞龙壮士分节用长杆举而舞之.
一是用竹篾(劈成条状的竹片)构成骨架,在每一节系棍一支,复上五彩缤纷的龙被,由舞龙者隐身腹中,亦分节而舞之. (类似徐克导演的”黄飞鸿之狮王争霸”电影中看到)

现时制作的龙,多用后者的制作方法,而骨架可以分小节拆之以便收藏.
龙头的制作则与狮头的制作略同, 用”绸仔纱纸”及竹篾造外壳,然后糊上”竹纱札纸”, 成模型后着色及配上各类装饰便成.
龙头的制作比狮头的制作难度较高,需熟练的名师工匠方能制作出维妙维肖的形态.

在香港制作的龙,骨架是用竹篾,藤,铁线等原料札成,以求坚固耐用.
一条长十二丈,分为22节的龙头龙身,共重百斤的中型态龙, 制作费接近万元港币.

舞龙在于制作上,费用上,收藏上及舞动上属于”大阵丈”之举,需要较大的场地及众多的舞龙人员, 因此多在大型的表演及较隆重的场合方能见到.

一条龙在制作完成后,还未算是生龙,必须延请和尚或道士焚香,诵经,念咒作法等仪式, 之后再请有名望之人士作点睛仪式后方为生龙.

Dragon Dance Performance . 舞龙表演

Dragon Dance Performance (舞龙表演)is one of the popular traditional performances during the Lunar New Year. Event companies also engaged Dragon Dance as one of the Cultural show programme.Basically for Dragon Dance, space is a factor. For Dragon Dance performance to commence, a bigger space is required unlike the Lion Dance as the latter required lesser manpower that the Dragon Dance.
As long as there is ample space, we will perform more interesting stances.

Chinese New Year Event at Grand Shanghai Restaurant Singapore

Talking about lion dance performances for opening ceremonies, other than the basic lion dance skills and techniques that we have acquired, there are much more things that require us to take note.Examples are excessive props on the limited stage size..one of the great challenge as great care have to be taken to avoid any accidents..the props might be fagile..the stage may not be firm enough to accomodate big baffalos like us.

醒狮点睛

随着时代文明与进步, 现代的狮子点睛仪式可说比以前简单得多了.
为狮子点睛的人士, 多是地方首长或社会名流. 点睛仪式有时也在武馆举行.从前的点睛开光仪式非常隆重, 大都选择在山林里举行, 为狮子主持点睛仪式的人士, 多是德高望重的武林前辈或高僧.点睛仪式就等于一个孩子的诞生一样, 狮子点睛后, 便有了新的生命, 可以为人消灾除害, 驱邪镇妖, 又可为商家呈祥献福, 带来财运.

所谓 “点睛”, 是用毛笔以朱砂点在狮子上的天灵、眼睛、鼻子、嘴巴、舌头、耳朵、狮角、狮头、狮身及狮脚.点完之后, 在狮子内的`舞狮者即舞动狮子, 做出洗眼、抹鼻、擦耳等等的动作. 所有的程序一样样做好后, 狮子还要拜 “四门” 以及拜 “五路财神”, 然后表演出林、出洞、望月等动作.
