Practicing for Chinese New Year Event

Time flies as arrow, we just keep practicing our dragon dance and lion dance for the coming Chinese New Year events.

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.
