Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
When the people in the village saw so many strange things, they couldn't bear it, so they coaxed Ye Shixiong, Ye Shiqi and other six young men who went to learn lion dance to perform for everyone.
Hundreds of people have gathered in the ancestral hall, seeing that everyone is full of interest, Ye Shixiong and others, who have been resting for a while, do not shirk, put on yellow T-shirts, lion pants and lion shoes specially printed with the words "Taoyuan Village Lion Dance Team", take various props, and dance in the open space in front of the ancestral hall as soon as the gongs and drums sound!
The three lions took the stage one after another, and performed for about ten minutes, either jumping jubilantly, chasing and playing, or rolling on the spot, winning the applause of the villagers and children in the sound of gongs and drums.
The lion dance is generally divided into the lion and the martial lion, the lion is the static and gentle side of the lion, such as tickling, licking hair, stretching the waist, rolling, picking ears, yawning, squinting, etc., the form is delicate and realistic, simple and cute, vivid.
The martial lion is a step more skilled, and the movements of the lion dancers are made such as rolling, standing upright, jumping, turning, soaring, and striking, showing the dynamic and fierce side of the lion.
Judging from Ye Quan's unprofessional eyes, Ye Shixiong and others have only basically mastered some routines, and they have obtained a little "resemblance", but they are far from reaching the realm of "god-likeness" that is vivid and full of spirit.
Then again, lion dancers, especially lion dancers, basically can't get out of the teacher without three or five years of hard work, Ye Shixiong and others only went to study for a month and are still a few days away, and they can have this result, completely relying on their own national arts foundation, and they have much advantages over ordinary people on the basis of flexible body style and abundant body, and it is difficult for ordinary people to dance in such a short period of time.
It is precisely because Ye Shixiong and others all have more than ten years of national arts foundation, and they are very easy to put in place some difficult movements such as the lion dance, but they are not satisfactory in the details of the demeanor such as the lion dance.
However, in the eyes of the villagers and children, the lion dance team's performance was wonderful enough, much better than the lion cubs in previous years, and they couldn't wait to grow another pair of hands to applaud.
Even Ye Quan's grandmother lamented that the Chinese New Year in Taoyuan Village was lively, and now many young couples are working outside, and the elderly and children have also followed. There are also many people who have not returned to their hometowns for various reasons, making the countryside much more deserted than before.
After the three lions danced, listening to the cheers of the crowd, several young men in the crowd who were arranged to dance the dragon for the New Year were hot in their hearts and stood up not to be outdone. Ye Tao said: "Our dragon has been tied. It's time to take it out and practice it. ”
The bamboo dragon was only tied up today, but the dragon dancers had already been in the martial arts training ground at the back, rehearsing with dragon scale long cloth for more than a week, and practicing hard for more than an hour every day. I heard that this year because everyone is back, I want to celebrate warmly, and I also downloaded a lot of professional dragon dance videos and practiced many tricks according to the tutorial.
Three young men who were not at the scene were also called over immediately, and each of the ten people held the Dragon Ball. Nine dragon dancers, holding a long dragon walked out of the side hall of the ancestral hall, the dragon head was held high, the dragon horns were hideous, the eyes were round, the shape was mighty, the momentum was majestic, the dragon body was connected with gold scales and yellow cloth, lifelike.
With the beating of gongs and drums. The yellow dragon then flew up, the dragon ball in front teased, the dragon head chased behind, the movements were ever-changing, and the dancing dragon seemed to fly in the clouds for a while. For a while, it was like riding the wind and waves in the sea.
The dragon dancer shuttled and swam quickly and agilely, as if giving life to the dragon, only to see it shaking its head and tail, vivid. With the beat of the drums, sometimes soothing, sometimes rapid. It attracted the attention of the audience.
It is Ye Tao who lifts the dragon, only eighteen years old this year, is the great-grandson of the old patriarch, and other peers because of fear of hardship, only learn some flowers, Ye Tao has been obsessed with national arts since he was a child, practicing Sanfu in summer, practicing Sanjiu in winter, perseverance, plus high talent, he completed the foundation at the age of twelve, half a year earlier than Ye Quan, and now he has touched a trace of Mingjin's threshold, and his skills are also the best among the clansmen under the age of twenty.
In previous years, the dragon dance in Taoyuan Village only had a few simple routines such as coiling, S bend, and dragon turning, but what is shown in the eyes of the villagers today is a renovation of tricks, what dragon wears, dragon tail, dragon stripping, 8-figure turning, wearing tail and so on, almost all eighteen kinds of martial arts have danced, and the people who feast their eyes naturally do not hesitate to applaud.
It's a pity that it is during the day, but if it is at night, it will be even more beautiful and spectacular if you light the light bulb inside the bamboo dragon and reflect the colorful long dragon.
*******************************
There are two days left for the New Year, and the New Year's paintings, fireworks and firecrackers at home have not been bought, and early in the morning, the three Ye Quan brothers and sisters plan to go to the market to buy.
After breakfast, the maid wanted to call her grandmother, but the old man smiled and said, "Go ahead, drive slower on the road." ”
Taoyuan, Longtian two villages intermarry with each other, grandmother in the village also know a lot of people, these two days in the equivalent of the "elderly activity center" of the ancestral hall to find a few card friends, in the morning and afternoon will go to play a few games, but also taste.
There was a hitchhiker, and Ye Xuan and Ye Jing also went with them.
The rural bazaar, if people have never been to it, will naturally find it strange and interesting, but for Ye Quan, the road surface is paved with cement, wider and cleaner, and other changes are not much.
Approaching the Chinese New Year, there are a lot of people who come to the market, as soon as Yaya arrives at the market, she is attracted by some stalls selling all kinds of snacks, there are hemp balls, pine cakes, water glutinous cakes, cakes and zongzi, etc., which are very local snacks.
Ye Quan simply split into two ways with a few of them, made an appointment to meet at the three-fork intersection in the center of the market, and took Ye Xuan to buy items by himself.
After purchasing the New Year's paintings, decorative paintings, incense candles, money paper, fireworks and firecrackers on the list, Ye Quan wanted to go back, but when he arrived at the three-fork intersection, he didn't see Ye Ting and the three of them.
After making a phone call, I learned that the three of them were still in an alley next to the meat market, where the market was dedicated to selling game, and most of the countrymen caught pheasants, pheasants, group fish, hares, snakes, and eels and other things, because the price was expensive, and they were reluctant to eat it, so they brought it to the market to sell some oil and salt money.
When Ye Quan arrived, the three sisters were squatting aside, looking at the various birds in the cage or net pocket, Yaya was also holding a string of hemp balls, saw him, and hurriedly said: "Brother, come and see, these birds are so beautiful!" ”
Ye Quan observed and saw that in addition to the common pheasants, bamboo rats and mountain hares, there were also people selling big-headed turtles, egrets, big, crested falcons and civet cats.
The egret and the big are not enough, the number of Nanyue Ridge is enough, but the big-headed turtle, crested falcon and civet cat are rare, Ye Quan used the Tianyan satellite last time to conduct a survey of animal and plant resources in the entire reserve, and the number of these three animals is not more than a hundred.
