Quite contrary with many people think, Chinese lion dance (barongsai) is not only performed during new year celebration; but also during special occasions, such as birthdays, new business opening, new business expansions, and many. It is considered as good luck to give the lion some ang-pao (red envelope filled with money) and how do you give ang-pao to the lion? By putting it into the lion’s mouth, of course 😀
