In traditional southern lion dance, before the ‘lions’ do their performances, the ‘lion’ must be blessed by an eye opening or eye dotting ceremony.

The eye opening ceremony is the ceremony where the eyes, ears, nose, mouth, leg, forehead and the rest of the necessary parts of the lion is dotted by a special trained person.

This is done to awaken the spirit of the lion before it is being used in the lion dance. In other words, they bring down the positive spirit from the heaven to the lion and give it life.
