This is a good read. So Nian is like the inspiration of those lion dances that we see? I thought it looked more like a dragon than a lion.

Thanks for the compliment. I believe the lion dance and dragon dance are traditions that go way back. It should have some relation to the Nian story but I couldnt find any conclusive information online. However I took the libery of finding the differrence between the lion and dragon dances hope that helps :)
