In the late Qing Dynasty, the Qing Empire was on the verge of collapse. Faced with an attack from external enemies, Empress Dowager Cixi encouraged the people to practice martial arts to resist the enemy. Li Hongzhang held an annual "Lion King Competition" to cater to the Empress Dowager. The "Lion King Battle" actually refers to various factions dancing lion heads and using force to compete for the championship.
