Guan Yu Lion Figurine – Red (SH033R)

The Red Lion: Guan Yu Lion

This miniature figure represents the Guan Yu Lion, named after the second brother from the classic Chinese novel, Romance of the Three Kingdoms. Guan Yu is also revered as Guan Gong (Kwan Kung in Cantonese). It has a red based face and red fur, and is generally used the most often in performances.

Traditionally, the lions in different coloured costumes personify historic characters from Romance of the Three Kingdoms- namely Liu Bei and his five tiger generals, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong and Ma Chao.

Lion Dances

A Lion Dance is traditionally performed during Chinese New Year and other auspicious events. Two dancers perform as each lion. The front performer controls the lion’s head, eyelids, ears and mouth, whilst the back performer controls its tail and bends forward to form the back of the lion.
