| description | This paper studies the colour symbolism of the Foshan awakening lion head, a key element of Foshan’s cultural heritage and the lion dance. The lion head’s colours are closely tied to the region’s history, culture, and community beliefs. The study examines various colours and their meanings, exploring how they contribute to the lion head’s visual and symbolic impact. Using qualitative methods, including literature reviews, artisan interviews, and field observations, the research looks at traditional and evolving colour schemes in Foshan Awakening Lion Heads. The findings show that each colour and pattern holds specific cultural significance, symbolising values like auspiciousness and prosperity. The paper stresses the importance of preserving these colour symbols to maintain the cultural identity of the Foshan lion dance, while also recognising the need for respectful evolution in response to contemporary tastes. |
