Cultural Story – The Lion Dance
The Chinese lion dance (舞狮, wu shi) has a history of over 2,000 years, dating back to the Han Dynasty (206 BC-220 AD). According to legend, the lion dance was created after a mythical beast called Nian terrorized a village – the villagers scared it away with loud drums and fierce lion costumes. Today, lion dance performances are an essential part of Chinese celebrations.
The lion in Chinese culture is not a real animal but a mythical guardian creature. Unlike the lions found in Africa or Asia, the Chinese lion is a symbol of power, wisdom, and protection. Stone lion statues guard the entrances of Chinese palaces, temples, and businesses even today.

About HandMyth
Our Story
HandMyth was born from a simple observation: the world of gift-giving had become predictable. Western friends exchange the same categories — wine, flowers, chocolates, and gift cards — while the rich tapestry of Chinese traditional craftsmanship remained largely unknown beyond China’s borders.
Founded by a team passionate about Chinese cultural heritage, HandMyth bridges this gap. We travel across China — from the silk workshops of Suzhou to the ceramic kilns of Longquan, from the bamboo forests of Fujian to the incense markets of Tibet — to discover artisans who practice crafts perfected over centuries.
Our Mission
We curate authentic Chinese handcrafted products that tell a story. Every item on HandMyth carries the spirit of the artisan who made it, the tradition that shaped it, and the culture that cherishes it. We believe that gifting should be an adventure — a chance to surprise, delight, and share something truly unique.
Whether you are looking for a meaningful gift for a friend, a sophisticated present for a business partner, or a piece of China’s artistic heritage for yourself, HandMyth brings the wonder of Chinese craftsmanship to your doorstep.
