Mushi Mai Puppet Mascot Paper Toy - by Niku Mansei



Inspired by the Chinese Lion Dance, here is an easy-to-build paper toy called Mushi Mai, a kind of puppet mascot of Niku Mansei website. A lion dance is an important traditional type of dance performed at Chinese New Year, festivals, wedding ceremonies, and other celebratory occasions. The lion is said to repel evil and bring good fortune, and is a popular icon in China and towns around the world. In China, people of the same nationality speak in different dialects depending on the region they live in, and in the same way, the lion dance also varies in different areas. Broadly speaking, it can be divided into two styles: northern and southern. The northern style is performed mainly in areas in north China and features movements based on martial arts. The southern style, performed mainly in the south, is known for its acrobatic dancing style. This paper craft model is based on the southern style of lion dance, and has a main color tone of red, which is said to be a lucky color.


Inspirado pela Dança do Leão Chinês, eis aqui um paper toy bem fácil de montar chamado Mushi Mai, uma espécie de fantoche mascote do site Niku Mansei. A Dança do Leão é uma espécie de dança tradicional muito importante no Ano Novo Chinês e é realizada em cerimônias, festivais, noivados, casamentos e outras ocasiões especiais. os chineses acreditam que o leão afasta o mal e atrai fortuna, e é um ícone em várias comunidades chinesas ao redor do mundo. Na enorme China, pessoas de uma mesma nacionalidade falam em dialetos diferentes, dependendo da região onde vivem; do mesmo modo o Leão Dançarino tem diferentes estilos de dança. De modo resumido, podemos identificar dois estilos principais: o nortista e o sulista. O estilo nortista apresenta movimentos baseado principalmente nas artes marcias chinesas. O estilo sulista usa mais acrobacias em sua dança. Este modelo de papel foi feito baseado no Leão Dançarino sulista, e sua cor principal é o vermelho, que os chineses acreditam atrair boa sorte.
