Chapter three hundred and sixty first wonderful(1/2)
"Clang, clang, clang clang, clang clang clang clang clang!"
Inspired by a cheerful gong and drum beat, Hong Yanwu, who had been wandering for a long time, finally got lost and knew the crime.
Take the family back to the center of Ditan Park from a remote area where vendors gather.
It’s also a blessing, but it’s better to come early than to come quickly.
The Hong family happened to catch up with the new group of yangko and lion dance performances that had just begun.
And they are particularly lucky to have a relatively high position in a corner.
You can watch it up close and fully experience the atmosphere of the Spring Festival with the yangko dance.
Otherwise, if you come later, when the inner and outer three layers are surrounded by people, you will only be able to see the back of the head of the person in front of you.
It has to be said that yangko and lion dance are the most attractive scenes at the Spring Festival temple fair, and are the most indispensable traditional programs, which can bring endless joy to people.
Just look, as the grand occasion was unprecedented, a team of yangge dancers came towards us with the sound of gongs and drums resounding in the sky.
At the front are a dozen clowns riding paper donkeys to take their heads.
As the gong and drum were taking three steps back and forth, they teased the crowd on both sides while twisting.
Among the few clowns, the most eye-catching one is the one in the middle.
He also rode a paper donkey, but the difference was that he was dressed as a woman and disguised as a matchmaker.
The face on his face is festive and funny, with a black cloth strap around his forehead, tied wide in front and narrow in the back under the wig bun behind his head.
The two black eyebrows are thick in front and thin in the back, high in the middle and low in both sides, and painted in the shape of "Eight" to the temples.
The cheeks were painted red, like a monkey butt.
He smiled all over his face, and his movements were extremely exaggerated.
Behind her were two young men wearing white satin clothes, with ribbons hanging down to their calves, and carrying a sedan chair.
The colorful sedan chair was open on all sides, and there was also a bride dressed in a woman, dressed in a colorful manner.
This "she" occasionally blocked her face with a large flower handkerchief and took it away. She pretended to shyly to light it on the left and then on the right, making people laugh.
But the donkey and the sedan chair are just the opening show. After the opening remarks of marrying a wife, the one that follows is a truly high-level performance.
Because of the stilt dance!
Needless to say, the beginning of the comedy "The Big Head Monk Du Liu Cui" must be the unchanging comedy that has lasted for thousands of years.
The male star wore a smiling "big-headed monk" mask, a long blue cloth gown, holding a wooden fish in his hand, and a folding fan inserted into the collar on the back of his neck.
The female corner of a man dressed in a woman is covered with cloud heads, flowers are inserted in obliquely, colorful dresses, and handkerchiefs.
One is shaking his head and looking cute.
Another person is graceful and graceful, pretending to be shy.
As we all know, this shows the story of the willow branches in Guanyin's pure bottle thinking of the mortal world, and the monk Datou was ordered to re-discover it.
Following closely behind are the characters of "The Stupid Young Master Going to Beijing", "Fishermen and Woodcutters and Farming and Reading Four Seasons", "Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea", "The Legend of the White Snake", "Journey to the West", and other folk and mythological stories.
Without exception, at a bright rhythm, these stilt dances are extremely humorous and funny, and do their best to use tricks such as twisting, shaking, chasing, and teasing.
That's really interesting.
But the most amazing idea is that Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck kicked off the lion dance performance.
With the drum beat of "Dongpu tu dong tu dong tu dong tu dong tu dong tu dong tu dong tu dong tu dong tu dong tu dong tu dong tu dong tu dong tu dong tu dong tu dong tu dong tu dong tu dong tu dong tu dong tu dong tu dong tu dong tu dong tu dong tu dong tu dong tu
I saw two native "foreign friends" who were made of rats and ducks, appearing in the stage with hydrangeas in their hands.
Although they were wearing generous costumes, they still tried their best to make various postures.
The teasing led two tall, brave and golden-haired northern lions to appear.
When the lion's eyes were as big as a copper bell, they rushed towards them majestic with their mouths as big as a washbasin.
The mouse and duck fled in a hurry and returned the hydrangea to the real actor.
As a result, the audience couldn't help laughing, the athletes who danced hydrangeas began to truly traditional lion dance.
Next, climb up to look far, top up the hydrangea, stack the arhats, shake their heads and lie down...
The drills of difficult skills made the audience's eyes condense on the Beiliu who kept pounceing, falling, turning, rolling, and squatting.
The ball dancer kept turning around, and the northern lion kept rolling up and down.
The final ending was a pair of little lions following behind happily, very lively and cute.
We must say that such clever connection and wonderful performance are truly a unique combination of Chinese and Western styles.
Of course, thanks to my country's failure to join the WTO, it is still in an era of indifferent copyright awareness.
This will bring about such a wonderful interest in combining local and foreign countries.
In short, the warm applause never stopped during the entire performance.
Not only did the children still feel proud, but the adults kept applauding.
But it was precisely because the performance was so exciting that it was just after the performance.
There were still many spectators who were reluctant to part with them and were reluctant to part with them, and strongly asked the lion dance team to have another period.
As a result, a small out of the story was triggered.
It turns out that the lion dance team completely ignored everyone's extra demands, regardless of applause, whistle, or cheering for the rice balls.
After the performance, the performance is over. I bow and thank you, and I will clean up the guys and leave the room for a break.
This annoyed a group of young men in their twenties.
Especially when the two of them were ungrateful, they deliberately spoke sarcastic words.
A shout.
"Let's go, what's the matter! Isn't it just a lion? It's boring! It's not a real lion who is in the circle of fire. If you don't act, you won't act. I won't be interested in it!"
Another shouted.
"That's right, what candy to do? If you want me to see, this lion is just as good as he plays. He has to dance dragons with his ability. We are descendants of Yanhuang and the descendants of the dragon. That's enough..."
OK, what is this called?
This is called being cheap and being good-for-bear, this is called scolding the chef when he is full, this is called deliberately fighting.
The masters of the lion dance team have been practicing hard for a long time in the cold weather.
These days, I am purely serving the people.
Where can I stand this?
So, a middle-aged master in the lion dance team who played lion heads stopped doing it on the spot.
Just as the man stood up and clasped his fists, glared at him, and said to these two people, he kept talking nonsense.
"Hey, I'll say two, why are you so unheard of? What do you think of our things? What do you think of our things?"
"It's not that I'm talking about you two, I'm just so unheard of this, I'll just not act for you."
"Everyone knows that the goods are sold and the family is aware of the family. If we want to act, we can't be so charming to the blind man, right? If we really act, can you understand it?"
Do you understand?
The two young men said indifferently at that time.
"Tsk, isn't it just a lion dance? Is there anything I can't understand?"
The lion dancer smiled coldly.
"What's there? It's too much. Let's not say that it's useless. Just make a bet. Regarding lion dance, I'll ask you common sense questions that even children can understand. If you can explain it to me, even if you win, we will have a special show for you. But if you can't say it, you have to apologize for the nonsense just now. How about it? Are you a man? Do you dare?"
Hey, two young men who were originally Douqibu, and there were so many people, how could they retreat?
So he almost agreed without thinking.
But this time it was really a mud.
Because even though the questions raised by the master on the other side were simple, they really couldn't answer them.
The first question is, why do lions in lion dance like to play with hydrangeas?
Who has ever seen a real lion play with it? There is no circus either.
What's going on?
The second question is, why do traditional lions in our country guard the door?
There are a pair of stone lions guarding the gates in front of the temple and palace gates, but there is never a real lion watching the gates in the real world.
What's going on?
To be honest, let alone the two young men who were blushing, no one had any words.
Even the audience who watched the fun on the spot could not answer.
And it must be said that these two questions really raise everyone's curiosity.
To be continued...
