Mastery, Signature Works & Repertoire
Male, Han ethnic group, born in February 1963, a native of Dongzhi County, Anhui Province. In his early teens he learned from his father, elder brothers and the elders of the family to frame, paste and perform the Six-Beast Lantern. He is skilled at framing such lantern figures as the single-horned beast, the lion, the elephant and the river deer. He has a distinctive mastery in arranging the blessing dance of the six beasts within the Six-Beast Lantern. Having taken part in lantern festivals on many occasions, he gradually became the lead dancer of this art. He has collated the material on the making and performance of the Six-Beast Lantern fairly completely, and has carefully organized and planned lantern dance activities, coaching and training a group of young and middle-aged pupils so that the Dongzhi Flower Lantern Dance is passed on from generation to generation.
