Chapter 1: Lion Dance On the 13th night of the lunar calendar, my father and I went to the pedestrian street to watch a lion dance performance. On the way, we happened to meet a lion dance team. In front of the long queue, they played lanterns, dressed as Jigong, mussel essence and boatman, carrying flower baskets and rowing floats. Behind, followed by a lot of dragon watchers.
In front of a shop, the line stopped. After the lantern-carrying "lampstand" wishes the host family first, the host family will put the cigarettes and alcohol already prepared into the basket of the "lampstand" and propose a toast to every young lion dancer. After the toast, the lion dance performance officially began.
Suddenly firecrackers and drums were deafening. The adults kept throwing firecrackers at the center of the venue, and the children lit the fireworks in their hands and aimed at the dancing dragon. In an instant, the whole lion dance venue was filled with smoke and fire. Under the light of firecrackers and fireworks, I saw the dragon rolling up and down, hiding from time to time, just like walking on clouds.
The lion dance is really wonderful, which gives me the willies. I have to admire those lion dancers. They are so brave.
Chapter 2: Watching the Lion Dance This morning, my grandfather will take part in the lion dance. I asked, "Grandpa, why do you want to take part in the lion dance?" "Every year, there will be lion dances in the Lantern Festival, especially in the Year of the Loong, and Daejeon will hold a large-scale dragon welcoming event to pray for good weather. Of course I will participate. " Grandpa replied. "The lion dance is about to begin. Come to the Chenghuang Temple if you want to see it, and we will start there. " Grandpa said. I thought, I'd better go and see how they jump. So, my grandfather and I came to the Chenghuang Temple together.
The lion dance has begun. Two dragons, a white beard and a black beard, came out of the Chenghuang Temple. I heard my mother say that white beard is an old dragon and black beard is a little dragon. They went to the police station first, and I followed them in. I saw two dragons intertwined and became a big circle, which looked like a lollipop from top to bottom. Then two dragons came to Datian Primary School. I saw two long dragons hovering around for a while, and flying up and down for a while, as if two real dragons were coming to the world. I was dazzled and elated, and the crowd burst into applause and cheers. I thought: Isn't our motherland just like this leaping dragon?
I will never forget watching the lion dance this time.
Chapter 3: Lion Dance Dragon is a magical animal with scales, horns, whiskers and claws in ancient legends, which can make clouds and rain. In the traditional culture of China, it is regarded as an auspicious animal and calls itself a descendant of the dragon. Since ancient times, the dragon has been the embodiment of the emperor, and the common people regard the dragon as the pride of tradition.
Every year around the Lantern Festival, people all over the country will dance lions and pray for good weather and good harvests in the coming year. Dating back to the Han dynasty, it has been recorded for thousands of years in history, and this folk custom has been passed down from generation to generation.
I like lion dance performance very much, and I also like to collect some pictures and materials about dragons and sing Long Ge, from which I can feel the profoundness of China culture.
Lion dance, also known as "playing with dragon lanterns", is one of the forms of Han folk dance and is popular in many parts of the country. The image of "dragon" has its own characteristics, and it is generally made of bamboo, wood, paper and cloth. And the number of sections varies, mostly singular. Dancers each hold a stick to support a festival. One person holds colored beads and plays dragon dance. The dragon head follows the colored beads, and the dragon body rolls up and down with the dragon head. Every energy-saving candle is called "dragon lamp", and those who can't light candles are called "cloth lamp". In addition, there is a "white Ye Long" composed of lotus lights and butterfly lights, a "bench dragon" dancing with a long bench and a "human dragon" composed of human body.
Chapter 4: Lion Dance is a holiday, and students go home to play. Only the members of the lion dance team in our college are still practicing every day, twice a day.
The high bench is in mid-air, and the team leader holds hydrangea to guide a pair of domineering lions to jump up and down on the bench more than two meters high, up and down, and stand down.
Because I went out to compete with my partner's lion head, I could only watch everyone training, and my heart really itched. .........
To tell the truth, it can be said that excellent athletes from all provinces and cities gathered together. The dragon and lion team is the one who stands out from these candidates. It seems that it is not easy to practice the dragon and lion well. This is a fact. No matter how good the martial arts are, if two people don't get along, it's useless to practice when they are excellent.
Lion dance is a traditional national sport in China, which breeds China culture. I began to like lion dancing more and more. Although I can't devote myself to practicing lions this holiday, we will try our best to keep the lions in the Dragon and Lion Team!
Chapter 5: Lion Dance On the morning of the fourth day, people who like to watch lion dance have gathered in front of the library in the second district. There will be a high-risk lion dance performance here. Those who like to watch performances and those who like to join in the fun gather in this Little Square and wait quietly ... I have never been interested in lion dancing, but I can watch it or not. But I promised to come and watch it with Mei and then take pictures, so I still sat patiently and stopped to watch it with people of all ages, hoping that the performance would end soon.
Fortunately, my friend Becky suddenly appeared, so I was in a good mood and talked to her later. Everyone is talking excitedly about what they have seen in the past few days. The most talked about is what they saw and how their classmates became ... A sigh, a series of surprises and a series of laughter brought me long-lost relaxation and happiness! Because this reckless conversation belongs only to us.
After watching the lion dance, we left the most beautiful smiling face before the Golden Pig Flower Show! Used at the end of a sentence
Chapter 6: Lion Dance Today, my mother took my brother and me to Greentown Square to watch the lion dance. I am very happy.
We arrived at Greentown Square just in time for the performance to begin. I hurried into the crowd and found a man waving a big knife fighting with the lion. The two actors who play the lion are really great. I saw the "lion" running with its teeth bared, swooping out, raising its hind legs and running quickly. The actors who danced broadsword were not inferior, and they subdued the "lion" with three strokes and two strokes. Suddenly, several single "lions" suddenly came to us and handed us New Year greetings. I couldn't help laughing when I saw the wonderful performances of the actors.
Suddenly, my brother asked, "What is that high platform for?" We hurried over. It turns out that there are many lion dance groups performing today, and we only saw one, and there are many more! The performance here is "the lion chasing the tiger". I saw a tiger being chased by a lion to the edge of the high platform, so the tiger had to climb two ropes connecting the top of the high platform. The lion ran after him a few times. When the lion climbed about half the distance from the top of the high platform, the tiger suddenly began to fight back. At that time, I was really worried about them: what if I fell? However, my worry is unnecessary. They didn't fall down at all, and whenever there was a thrilling moment, the audience would cheer for them loudly.
How time flies! It will be noon in the blink of an eye. We should go home. I had to leave the square reluctantly.
Today, I not only watched the wonderful lion dance performance, but also saw the rich national culture. How happy I am!
Chapter VII: Lion Dance Performance There are many traditional cultures in China, and lion dance is one of them.
Last Spring Festival, my father took me to the Bell Tower Park to watch the lion dance. When we went to Bell Tower Park, there were many spectators watching the lion dance performance. I heard the exciting drums and saw the Golden Lion performance. There are several high steps on the stage. I don't think the lion dance can jump on such a high platform. However, when I saw that the Golden Lion Dance had leapt to the fourth high stage, the audience applauded warmly. When the lion dance jumped to the second highest platform, the audience said, "Come on, come on." Because the lion dance has to jump on the highest step, the audience is very worried. The lion danced with all his strength and finally jumped to the highest level. The audience applauded warmly again.
The lion dance performance was really beautiful, and the uncle of the lion dance team was really brave.
Chapter 8: Lion Dance On the second day of the New Year's Day, my parents and I came to Wu Temple to watch the lion dance.
When we enter the Wu Temple, we worship God first. I hope I can grow up quickly and improve my studies this year, and then choose a windmill. This is something we have to do every year. At ten o'clock, gongs and drums rang and lions danced with them. I counted the lions, and there were five. Dad said, "If there are five lions, there is an idiom called' Five Lions celebrate the New Year'. When the lion dances, mother always touches the lion's head. Why? Dad said: "it means that after touching it, you will be very lucky and healthy." "I suddenly realized, oh! I see. I ran to touch the lion's head. The lion dance entered our crowd. In the end, they fight for food. They squatted down one by one, keeping their mouths shut and not letting other lions eat. Finally, a lion took most of the food and was very happy.
Ah! What a beautiful lion dance performance!
Chapter 9: Look at a phone call from my father when I was playing games at noon today. Dad asked me to go out and watch the lion dance. Actually, I didn't want to go at first. But my mother said come with me, and I was really attracted by the louder sound of gongs and drums. That place is not far from home. I'll be right there. In the distance, I saw many people around there, almost crowded with people around. Dad may have seen me before me. He waved to me. My mother and I are standing in his position, and the lion dance is about to begin.
Most of the lion dance groups are primary school students. Some of them beat gongs and drums, and they worked very hard. Soon, more people will come. Of course, this also means that the surrounding air is worse and the surrounding sound decibels are higher. It's not hard to explain. There are more smokers and more women. The lion dance troupe performed several programs, which were really wonderful in this small town. But people are too stingy to give any applause. Perhaps in their eyes, the lion dancer who fell down is more interesting and worthy of applause than the lion dancer who jumped on the wooden bench.
In fact, the most interesting thing is what Dad called "lion stew". I haven't seen it, so I didn't follow my mother when she came home. I stood on tiptoe and looked around, and then I saw a few people taking out a dozen baskets of fruit firecrackers. I asked dad what they were doing, and dad said they would throw so many small firecrackers at the lion soon. This is the so-called "lion stew". I'll wait and see. The opening song is a bundle of firecrackers. After the firecrackers were burned, the "lion" rushed in without saying anything, rushed to the place where the firecrackers were burning, and jumped around with his feet. I don't know whether they jumped up after being blown up by firecrackers, or whether the "lion" jumped up to guard against the firecrackers that were going to explode under his feet, or was scared by the chaotic firecrackers on the scene. This is not elegant, and the scene is really chaotic.
Here are two photos for everyone. Be sure to meet them. I took it from n heavy smokers.
