This is a private banquet, and there are only more than fifty guests. If you really want to congratulate and cheer up, there are two lions, and six or seven people are about the same. The lion dance team is so big, isn’t it because you have gone to the wrong door? Zhang Guifang stepped forward to ask the leading lion dancer. The old man took out an address and said, “Yes, it’s here, the money is paid.” He asked who paid the money, but the leader shook his head and did not answer. The one with the deepest relationship among the guests is the president, or he called him? Zhang Guifang looked back at him, and he was also full of doubt.

He paid all the money, and he was almost the Spring Festival, so he couldn't get him back. Zhang Guifang nodded slightly, and the old man shouted: "Let's get up." After saying that, he put on the big head Buddha and led the way in front. The big gong, drum, and cymbals sounded together, and the lion dance officially began.

Seeing that Jin Huabin was enjoying his eyes, President Ying came over and asked with some challenges: "I heard that you have a lot of research on ancient borrowing and ancient traditions. Can you tell me about this lion dance?"

"I'm showing off my skills, please give me some advice." He smiled and replied: "Liu Dance is also called "Taipingle". The Southern Lion is also called Lion Dance. Lion dancers should use various moves to express the martial arts of the Southern School, which is very masculine. Lion dance is considered auspicious objects to drive away evil spirits and avoid harm. During festivals or major events, lion dances must be used to promote the lively and prosper. Lion dance activities are also widely circulated in overseas Chinese communities. Where there are Chinese people, lion dances must be danced, which has become an important ritual for promoting the power of the nation and establishing the soul of China, as well as a cultural bridge for overseas compatriots to recognize their ancestors and return to their ancestors."

Seeing that he was not stumped, President Ying smiled and asked, "So, what tricks have you seen?"

How to look at it specifically, Jinhuabin has not studied much, but he has watched many martial arts films, including multiple lion dance scenes, and there are more detailed introductions in the film reviews. The lions from Malaysia and the lions in TV movies are both southern lions, and the style and skills are not much different. He is more interested in this kind of folk customs and has performed lion dances on behalf of the village. He pointed to several lions in the same way and said: "The yellow lion head on the field is Liu Bei lion, which represents the people of the world, benevolence and righteousness and royal nobleness; the red is Guan Gong lion, which represents loyalty and righteousness and victory. Because Guan Yu is also the God of Wealth in the minds of Chinese people, Guan Gong lion also represents wealth; the black is Zhang Fei lion, which represents domineering and bravery. How is the lion dancer's skills? The first thing to see is the horse stance steady and unstable."

"The President should be too rewarded." He said after a few humble words: "I just understand a little bit."

D During the break of lion dance, I saw a single little lion in the middle, and there was no need for the cooperation of the two. Jin Huabin rose up together, whispered a few words to the leading old man, and put on the battlefield.

The male host went on stage in person and watched the fun. The guests came to watch with wine glasses. Jin Huabin put the lion head of the single lion and set his horse stance on his horse. Then, while shouting, he rose up, suspected, scratched, greeted the treasure, bowed, jumped, examined, slept soundly, went out of the hole, showed his power, crossed the mountains, went up the stairs, etc. Through different horse stances, he made a simple demonstration with the lion head movements. Of course, the level cannot be compared with the lion team, but he is also very obedient.

Jin Huabin took off his lion suit and waved to the guests. Suddenly, a shout came from the door: "Okay!" The voice was inaccurate, as if foreigners were learning Chinese dialect, and the guests surrounded them like stars and moonlight.

It must be a big shot. He turned his eyes to wherever he saw President Ying shook hands affectionately with him. Zhang Guifang came over and said softly: "This is the mayor of this city."

"I heard that there was a distinguished guest coming, so our city government specially invited the lion dance team to congratulate him. I didn't expect that the distinguished guest was indeed proficient in Chinese traditional culture and had such a profound study of lion dance." The mayor walked up with a smile, holding his hand tightly and shaking it.

How could I have such a great face for the mayor to use public funds to invite the lion team to welcome him? Jin Huabin thanked repeatedly and said, "Mayor Meng is wrongly loved, so he is not afraid to be the one."

"It's worth it, it's worth it." The mayor said with a smile: "The rise in the mayor's approval rating, Du Laigui and his wife formed sister cities with Xianju, and held an exhibition of colorful stone inlaid works in this city. It was unprecedented."

It turns out that there is such a relationship. Jin Huabin knows why Zhang Guifang wants to borrow from Malaysia. She is supported by the mayor and supported by the president. At least she will definitely be easier to do business during this term.

The lion dance reaches its climax, performs performances such as going out of the cave, going up the mountain, patrolling the mountain and meeting the lion, picking green, entering the cave. "Caiqing" is the meaning of "freshness" and a symbol of prosperity in business. "Qing" uses the homophonic sound of lettuce (making money). Hang the lettuce and the market (red envelope), and the lion dances in front of "Qing", expresses hesitation, and then jumps up, eats the green vegetables in one bite (called picking green), and then bites the lettuce (called broken green), imitates the lion's expression and expression of eating full, (called drunk green), and then spits the broken green to everyone (called making money everywhere). The guests were thunderous.

The lion team entered the fancy style of picking green and picking sky, picking green and water, etc., and various special stunt movements emerged one after another, including shoulders, stacking arhats, up, passing plum blossoms, and so on.

President Ying held a wine glass and introduced the highlights of lion dance to the guests and said: "In the performance of the southern lion, the lion is sometimes majestic and brave, majestic, sometimes playful and joyful, humorous, and divided into joy, anger, drunk, awake, moving, still, joy, fierce, shocked, suspicious, searching, looking forward, exploring, annoyed, playful, etc. The drum beats are divided into light, heavy, fast, slow, fast, slow, slow, and stop."

Everyone listened attentively, Jin Huabin picked up the cup and said sincerely: "Listen to your words is better than reading for ten years, and you should be a talented person."

"There are all songs." President Ying finished speaking and chanted lightly with the lion dance: "What is joy? The drum beat is light and fast, the lion is happy, blinks, smiles, sways head, lunges, and horse steps. What is anger? The drum beat is heavy, the lion is angry, glares at the eyes, and roars, the lion shook his head and shook his horse steps, and stands. What is drunk? The drum beat is light and the lion is not shocked, the lion's eyes are half open, and his head is in a coma, and he stumbles his steps and staggers."

The mayor saw some tricks and asked, "I'm very particular about the sound of gongs and drums. President, please tell me."

"This, the mayor asked about the point." Director Ying smuggled his beard and said: "Beating the lion drum, gong and hairpin accompaniment is an important part of the best performance of the lion's artistic expression. It plays an important role in determining whether the lion's art is realistic and whether the routine is completed or not. It should be highlighted: light, heavy, fast, slow, fast, slow, slow, and stop. Because the lion dance performers, the two cannot discuss the movement pace inside the lion cushion, the start and end of all movements rely on the gong and drum to command the rhythm. Only after being familiar with the rhythm of the lion dance can you start learning lion dance."
