Cultural Story

Fan Hua originated during the Qing Dynasty as a street toy for children during temple fairs and holidays. The "dragon dance" version symbolizes bravery and good fortune, while the “lantern” version invokes blessings of wealth and family harmony.

🌸 "Fan Hua" literally means "blooming flower" — a metaphor for life’s joy unfolding in your hands.
