2026 Lunar New Year Blessings | Lion Dance at Tian Hou Temple（2026 農曆新年祈福｜天后宮舞獅表演-開光點睛、正式表演）🥁#travel

･ ｡ ∴｡*･ﾟ*｡ ･ *ﾟ｡*･ ﾟ*｡･ﾟ･ ｡ ∴｡*･ﾟ*｡ ･ *ﾟ｡*･ ﾟ*｡･ﾟ Before a traditional lion dance performance begins, there is a very important ritual called the “Opening the Eyes” ceremony (also known as the “Dotting the Eyes” ritual). Respected guests, such as temple leaders or VIPs, use a brush to apply red ink to the lion’s eyes, ears, and body. This act symbolizes giving life, transforming the lion head from a simple prop into a lively and auspicious creature. After the eyes are dotted, the drums begin to play and the lion dance performance officially starts. The lion awakens, jumps, and rolls, each movement full of energy and joy, bringing excitement and blessings to the audience. 傳統舞獅表演開始前，有一個非常重要的儀式——開光點睛（又稱「點睛儀式」）。 通常會請德高望重的貴賓（如廟方主委、董事長）手持毛筆，在獅子的眼睛、耳朵與身體點上朱砂。 這個動作象徵賦予生命，讓原本只是道具的獅頭，化身成具有靈氣的瑞獸。 完成點睛後，鼓聲響起，舞獅表演正式展開。獅子甦醒、跳躍翻滾，每一個動作都充滿力量與喜氣，為觀眾帶來熱鬧與祝福。 ･ ｡ ∴｡*･ﾟ*｡ ･ *ﾟ｡*･ ﾟ*｡･ﾟ･ ｡ ∴｡*･ﾟ*｡ ･ *ﾟ｡*･ ﾟ*｡･ﾟ #texas #houston #houstontx #beautiful #temple #2026 #lunarnewyear #newyearcelebration #liondance #view #festivevibes #祈福 #文化 #travel #traveldiary #travelvlog #vlog #minivlog
