"Clang, clang, clang clang clang, clang bara clang bara clang clang clang1
Inspired by a burst of cheerful gongs and drums, Hong Yanwu, who had had enough shopping, finally got lost and found out.
Bringing the family back to the center of Ditan Park from a remote area where vendors gather.
It is lucky to say that it is better to come early than to come by chance.
The Hong family just caught up with the new wave of Yangko and lion dance performances that had just started.
And they are particularly lucky to be in a corner, with a relatively front position.
You can watch it up close and fully feel the Spring Festival atmosphere brought by Yangko dance.
Otherwise, if you arrive later, when the inner and outer floors are full of people, you will only be able to see the backs of the people in front of you.
It has to be said that Yangko and lion dance, as the most attractive scenes at the Spring Festival temple fair, are the most essential traditional programs and can bring endless joy to people.
Just take a look. Amid the unprecedented grandeur and the sound of gongs and drums resounding in the sky, a group of yangko performers walked towards us.
At the front are a dozen clowns riding paper donkeys.
With the sound of gongs and drums, Banyan takes three steps forward and two steps back, twisting and turning to amuse the crowd on both sides in a funny way.
Among the clowns, the most eye-catching one is the one in the middle.
He also rides a paper donkey, but the difference is that he is a man disguised as a woman, disguised as a matchmaker.
The makeup on his face is festive and funny, and there is a black cloth band around his forehead, which is wide in front and narrow in back and tied under the fake bun on the back of his head.
The two black eyebrows are thick in front and thin in the back, high in the middle and low on both sides, drawn in an "eight" shape to the temples.
The cheeks were painted red, like a monkey's butt.
He had a fake smile on his face, and his movements were extremely exaggerated.
Behind "her" were two young men wearing white silk and satin clothes, with ribbons hanging from their waists to their calves, carrying a sedan.
The colorful sedan chair was open on all sides, and there was also a bride disguised as a woman, all dressed up.
This "she" would cover her face with a large flower handkerchief from time to time and then take it away, pretending to be shy, flashing it to the left and then to the right, making people burst into laughter.
But the donkey and the sedan chair are just the beginning. After the prologue of marrying a wife is over, what follows is the real high-level performance.
Because stilt dancing appears!
Needless to say, the first part must be the comedy "The Big-Headed Monk Treats Liu Cui" which has not changed for thousands of years.
The male character wears a smiling "big-headed monk" mask, a green cloth gown, holding a wooden fish, and a folding fan inserted into the collar behind his neck.
The female character who is a man disguised as a woman has a cloud on her temples, flowers at an angle, wearing a Caidan costume and holding a handkerchief.
One is shaking his head and looking very naive.
The other is graceful and graceful, pretending to be shy.
As we all know, this is the story of the willow branch in Guanyin's pure vase thinking about the lower world, and the big-headed monk was ordered to re-digitize it.
Following closely behind are characters from other folk tales and myths such as "The Foolish Young Master Goes to Beijing", "Fisherman, Woodcutter and Farmer Reading the Four Seasons", "Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea", "The Legend of the White Snake", "Journey to the West" and so on.
Without exception, these stilt dances are full of humor and fun under the bright rhythm, and they try their best to perform twisting, chasing, teasing and other skills.
That's really interesting.
But the most creative idea is that Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck kicked off the lion dance performance.
With the drum beat of "咚卍龙咚唵, 咚卍龙咚唵, 咚卟龙咚咚咚龙-".
I only saw a mouse and a duck, two homemade "foreign friends", holding hydrangeas in their hands
Despite their oversized costumes, they still tried their best to pose.
Tease two tall and brave northern lions with long golden fur to appear
The lion's eyes as big as copper bells shone with golden light, and it majestically rushed towards them with its mouth as big as a basin.
The mouse and duck fled in panic and returned the hydrangea to the real actor.
As a result, as the audience burst into laughter, the hydrangea dancers began the real traditional lion dance.
The next step is to climb high and look into the distance, hold a hydrangea on your head, fold an Arhat, and lie down with your head shaking
Drills of difficult skills made the whole audience focus on the two northern lions who kept jumping, falling, turning, rolling and squatting.
The ball dancer kept turning somersaults, and the northern lion also kept rolling up and down.
The final ending is a pair of little lions jumping behind, very lively and cute.
I have to say that such a clever connection and such a wonderful performance are truly a unique combination of Chinese and Western.
Of course, thanks to the fact that our country has not yet joined the WTO, it is still in an era of indifferent copyright awareness.
This is the wonderful combination of earth and ocean.
In short, the bursts of warm applause never stopped throughout the performance.
Not only were the children delighted, but the adults also kept applauding.
But it was precisely because the performance was so wonderful, right after the performance.
There were still many spectators lingering around, reluctant to leave, and strongly demanding that the lion dance team come back for another performance.
As a result, this caused a small twist.
The Ganqing Lion Dance Troupe completely ignored everyone’s additional demands, including applause, whistles, and booing.
When the performance is over, the performance is over. After bowing and thanking each other, it is time to clean up and leave the stage to rest.
This angered a group of young men in their twenties.
Especially the two arrogant ones, they deliberately made sarcastic remarks.
One shouted.
"Let's go, let's go, what's the matter! Why don't you just act like a lion? It's boring! It's not like a real lion walking into a ring of fire. If you don't act, you won't act. We are not interested in watching it 1
The other one yelled too.
"Exactly, what kind of candy are you getting? Let me see, this lion is just mediocre. If he is really capable, he has to dance with the dragon. We are the descendants of the Yanhuang people, the descendants of the dragon. That's enough energy."
Okay, what is this called?
This is called acting cheaply, this is called scolding the cook when you are full, this is called being deliberately vindictive
The masters of the lion dance team have been practicing hard for a long time in the cold weather.
These days, we are purely serving the people.
How can I stand this?
So this time, a middle-aged lion-head master in the lion dance team quit the job on the spot.
This guy stood up, clasped his fists, glared, started talking to the two of them, and started talking to each other reluctantly.
"Hey, you two, why are you so unheard of? Why are you just a lion in a ring of fire? Just a dragon dance? What do you think our stuff is?"
"I'm not telling you that it's just because you don't listen to these words that I shouldn't perform for you."
"Everyone knows that good people know people. If we want to act, we can't be flattering to blind people, right? If we actually act, will you understand?"
Do you understand?
The two young men said it nonchalantly at that time.
"Tsk, isn't it just a lion dance? What can't you understand?"
The lion dance master smiled coldly.
"What's there? It's much more sophisticated. Let's not say that it's useless, let's just make a bet. Regarding lion dance, I will ask you a few common sense questions that even a child can understand. You must be able to give me If you explain it, we will perform a special performance for you. But if you can't tell it, then you have to apologize to us for the nonsense you just said, don't you?"
Hey, these two young men who are originally vindictive insects, how can they step back in front of so many people?
So I agreed almost without thinking.
But this time it was really embarrassing.
Because even though the question asked by the master opposite was simple, they really couldn't answer it.
The first question is, why does the lion in the lion dance love to play with hydrangeas?
Who has ever seen a real lion play with a ball? There is no lion in the circus
What's going on?
The second question is, why do our country’s traditional lions guard the door?
There are a pair of stone lions guarding the gates of temples and palaces, but in the real world there are never real lions guarding the gates.
What's going on?
To be honest, not to mention that the two young men suppressed their blushes and neither of them had a word to say.
No one could answer even the lively audience.
And it must be said that these two questions really aroused everyone's curiosity.
So with everyone's unanimous support, the two young men had to apologize.
The master finally answered the call of the big guy and revealed the answer to the mystery on the spot.
"Everyone, it is actually very easy to pierce this layer of window paper. I am not exaggerating at all. Even children can figure it out."
As he spoke, the lion dance master asked the child closest to him with a smile.
"Children, do you know which animal likes to watch your house and play with a ball?"
Just like that, a scene that resembled the emperor's new clothes appeared.
The child bit his finger and thought about it for a moment, then quickly answered the question.
"dog"
"Haha, smart, correct answer 1
As the master praised with a thumbs up, the audience became an unprecedented commotion, because no one could believe such an answer.
A lion is a dog? Nonsense, right? How is that possible!
Hey, this is actually true.
As the master clasped his fists and punched him amidst the noise at the scene, he shook out his authentic folklore knowledge, which opened everyone's eyes and made them more knowledgeable.
I bet this lion dance is really not simple.
According to him, the origin of the Northern Lion was during the Northern Wei Dynasty.
The Southern Lion was introduced from the north during the Tang and Song Dynasties. Historically, it was much later in the evening.
And because there is no such thing as "lion" in our native culture.
So the word "lion" was brought to the Central Plains precisely because of the rise of Buddhism in the Northern Wei Dynasty.
In fact, it originally refers to the mythical beast in Buddhism that is responsible for guarding the door.
Many people have heard of the phrase "gold-haired lion and blue-haired cat".
Both of these animals are also fictional Buddhist mythical beasts and have no real prototypes.
But if there is no such thing in the world and we have to create a statue, what should we do?
Our craftsmen combined the image of the pug sent as tribute from Sri Lanka and then imagined it, just like our unicorn and dragon, to create this "lion".
Later, after the Mongolian baptism of the Yuan Dynasty, the image of "lion" became more rough and realistic.
This is why our country’s traditional lions are majestic and cute at the same time.
He knows how to play ball, he knows how to keep goal, and there is even a reason why the little lion follows him.
To put it bluntly, its prototype is a pug and has nothing to do with African lions.
The reason why the modern concept of lion was formed.
Actually, it’s because after some people saw this real beast with their own eyes, they felt that the image was very powerful.
The result is that it is far-fetched and far-fetched to our traditional lion image.
Otherwise, we might not know what this African lion would be called.
One after the other, this kind of causal relationship cannot be mistaken.
Finally, one thing needs to be made clear.
The origin of lion dance is a Buddhist activity.
Dragon dance is a sacrificial totem that originated from folk praying for rain in the Dragon King Temple.
In terms of level and theory, lion dance is higher than dragon dance.
Every temple fair must have a lion dance, but except for the Dragon King Temple to pray for rain, there is no dragon lantern dance.
As for the capital, it is even more special.
Because there has always been an emperor here, it has always been forbidden to perform the dragon dance even to pray for rain. That would be beheading.
At this point, there was not only laughter, but also applause.
Even two young men who felt that they had lost face gave them thumbs up.
Because the lion has so many origins narrated by the master, it is as exciting as a real performance.
Not only were they fascinated by it, they were no longer ashamed of their ignorance.
On the contrary, I feel that I have something in my stomach and can show it off to others.
Can you be unhappy?
But to be honest, among all the people present, Hong Yanwu was the one who was most emotionally touched.
This was not for anything else, but because he actually knew the lion dance master who was talking about it.
That was Liu Songshan of the Baizhifang Paper Factory who wanted to kill him in those special years.
He even discovered that the person playing with the lion's tail behind Liu Songshan was his son "Huozi".
Looking at this father and son who were famous for ruthlessly killing the weak in special years, now they have turned their interest in beating and humiliating people to the skills of entertaining people.
He turned out to be a real lion dance expert.
Can Hong Yanwu still feel a lot of emotion?
This is the progress of the times.
A good era is one that can resolve the evil thoughts of people and make life better and better.
