龙狮文化发展三途:竞技运动、舞台展演与国族象征

Future of Loong & Lion Culture:Competitive Sport,Staged Performance and National Symbol

龙狮文化根植于传统中国文化,而传统中国在百年进程后转变为现代社会:百年中国历经西方文化殖民主义及文化革命之自我文化殖民主义;现代社会具有神话祛魅、信仰失落、价值多元、消费主义等诸多特性。在此背景下,龙狮文化有创新则发展,无创新即灭亡。而其创新发展的路径有三:竞技运动、舞台展演与国族象征。要让舞龙舞狮发展为竞技运动,需要规则统一化、组织全球化、比赛商业化、选手职业化;舞龙舞狮尤其适合舞台展演——舞龙适合大型庆典,舞狮适合小型典礼,高校龙狮队一可借此社会实践,获取经费,二可服务社会,营造氛围;中国人自称龙的传人,舞狮风行华人世界,龙狮也即中华民族文化象征,可借此凝聚全球华人,抖擞中华精神。
