CAPTURING GREEN AND SHARING PROSPERITY
The majestic Lion on a high mountain
The climax of a Lion dance drama is Capturing Green. Green here symbolizes prosperity and is usually some fresh vegetable often with a red packet containing money for the Lion Dance team. The Lion has to overcome some hurdles before it can capture the green. The Lion is generous. After savoring the green, it returns it, symbolizing sharing prosperity with all those present.
