On the calendar, the end of January, only memories of New Year's fireworks and salads have long been left, but the Chinese still have not set their tables. As the project tells 4dancing.ru, according to the traditional Eastern calendar, the New Year in China occurs every year at a different time, from the end of January to the end of February. This year, the holiday falls on February 14, however, in some Chinese provinces it is already "beckoned" with real tiger dances. In the province of Anhui, the "lunar new year" began to celebrate on January 26. There, whole flocks of "tigers" - dressed up children - took to the street scenes.
Traditionally, it is children who feel the coming of spring best of all, and children's laughter is like the rays of the warm sun, so the "wild dances" were supposed not only to "appease" the ruler of the next year, but also to summon spring and warmth to the country.
Curiously, the Lunar New Year celebrations coincide with the traditional Chinese Spring Festival. However, to find out whether the "tiger dances" helped to speed up the retreat of cold weather, we will find out only when the new year comes to China.
