Year! Basically, there is nothing to do, so the Chinese New Year is often the most leisurely time of the year. As the so-called "material year, material year" (material, Hakka accent, meaning to play), it is "material".

In previous years, on the first day of the new year, the streets were also very lively, not to mention the city, the lion dance teams of those villages alone were enough to make the streets noisy and lively.

Especially when you "know the lion", that's what you can do!

Lion meeting refers to the encounter between two lion dance teams.

What should I do when I am a lion?

Ancient civilization, comity first?

No! This is absolutely impossible! Because the lion dance team represents the face of the entire village, whoever lets it will lose the face of the village and will be scolded.

Can't let it!

Absolutely can't let it!

If you don't let it, you will fight - lion fighting.

There are three parts of lion fighting: first, the drum, than the drumming method, the posture of the drumming, the sound of the drumming, not one of the veterans dare not play, I have a cousin who has participated in the drama troupe for several years before, proficient in various musical instruments, every time the lion dance team must be indispensable to him; Second, the fighting boxing, the fighting boxing is not the two sides go up to fight directly, but each team sends a child under the age of 12 to perform boxing, who gets the highest voice of the audience, naturally who wins; 3. Lion fighting, this is undoubtedly the most exciting part. Lion fighting is not only a tacit understanding and passion for the lion dance and musicians, but also a competition with each other's lions, of course, the scene is not as big as the scene of "The Lion King", but it is undoubtedly more real and exciting.

The lion of the losing team of the lion fight has to lie on the ground to send off the winner, and at the same time it is necessary to beat the drum of farewell, which can be described as extremely humiliating.

Therefore, the lion fight is very intense, and no one wants to lose, and they can't afford to lose.

What if you can't afford to lose? Isn't there a lot of people coming from both sides? Gang fight! See who can really win!?

On the first day of the Lunar New Year in 05, there was a lion fight between Li Village and Tang Village, which led to a group brawl of dozens of people, and it was even more unfortunate that a little boy in Tang Village died unexpectedly in the group fight, and the impact of the result can be imagined.

At that time, the secretary of Qingshan Town, the mayor of the town, and others immediately ended their annual leave, and after dealing with the mass assault incident, they quickly convened the main leaders of the town, the village heads, and the heads of all ethnic groups to hold a temporary informal emergency meeting to discuss the meeting on the lion dance in each village. In the end, the meeting passed a resolution that only one village is allowed to dance the lion on the streets of Qingshan Town every year, and the order is sorted by the village chiefs by drawing lots, and the village whose turn can give up the lion dance and automatically postpone it, and at the end of the resolution, the people present have signed their names and pressed their handprints to show the obedience of the villages.

The wonderful lion fight has just withdrawn from the historical stage of Aoyama, and I don't know which year it will start again? But although this is a pity, peace is king! Who is not afraid of the reappearance of group fights and the reenactment of history?

Our Xiaoba village had already passed the turn the year before last, so it was almost impossible to go to the street lion dance in the next ten years or so, unless other villages collectively abstained.

But who will abstain? It is important to know that when there are many lion dance teams, a village can earn thousands of yuan a day, and a team of independent markets can earn thousands of dollars a day.

Of course, the original intention of the lion dance should be to celebrate the New Year and celebrate the New Year, which is lively and festive, and should not be related to money. But under the conditions of market economy and today's rampant flow of materials, what can be done that has nothing to do with money? And more money and less money are the minds of the visitees, this is not as much as the Lions can ask for him, and some people are even afraid of being compared to others if they give less? Who do you say you are going to reason with in this matter?

Since it is not our village's lion team, I am not interested in watching the performance of the lion team of other villages, and besides, I have other things to do - the first day of the Lunar New Year, the old people gather.

The old reunion is not an old classmates' reunion, but a reunion of men of the same age surnamed Guan in the village.

"On the first day of the Lunar New Year, the old people gather", this is an iron rule that several of our old colleagues have long determined.

The old class reunion is generally set on the third day of the Lunar New Year, because the third day of the Lunar New Year is the legendary poor ghost day in our country, and it is not possible to visit relatives (but it is okay to visit friends), only the poor ghost runs to the relative's house on that day, so this day is very suitable for class reunion. I remember our high school reunion in Baichuan on the third day of the Lunar New Year last year, which was full of people of all ages, full of restaurants, hotels, and karaoke...... None of the places are empty, and the third day of the Lunar New Year is the official class reunion day!

Originally, there should be nine men and four women of my age, but they said that they didn't want women to participate, saying that sooner or later women would be from other people's families, and that participation was unstable and not fun-uh! I was speechless!

But also, like us, we're only 20 years old—uh, 21 years old, but all but one of the four women is in college, the other three are actually married, and one has a child who is a few months old. Therefore, it does make sense not to call them lesbians.

In fact, a few of our old men can talk freely, they can talk about brotherhood, the righteousness of friends, love life, work and study, etc., and they can also talk about who and who has harmed how many women from good families, who and who have won glory for the country, etc., and even smoke, drink, and play cards together. Isn't that interesting?

Anyway, I'm just participating in this matter, I don't have the right to decide, so I can do whatever everyone says, just be happy.

Low-key is the truth!

However, there are still only seven of our nine old colleagues who can participate.

Because one of them has a cerebral thrombosis and is already demented, everyone can only scrape together some money to buy him some fruit, and forget it, you can't pull him over and be demented on the side, right? That's too unseemly, and it's too unseemly!

There is another one who is a superb, he didn't go to junior high school after finishing elementary school, he mixed at home for a few years, mixed outside for a few years, actually got married, and had two children. This is nothing, in the countryside, it is extremely normal to get married early and have children early. But last year, he actually suspected that his wife, who was working outside, was having an affair, and he directly killed his wife's hands and feet, and dragged him home to be kept in custody - what do you think is this? Is it still something that normal people do? His father went to persuade him, but he broke his hand and blasted out, and since then no one dared to persuade him, and his parents also took his two children to live separately, until his wife's maiden family came to a dozen people to restrain him and save his wife - uh! ex-wife, the matter came to an end.

You say, such a superb, perverted, crazy person, do we dare to party with him?
