What are the reasons for meeting lions?

Meeting the lions means that the lions meet. There are many reasons for meeting lions: some meet on the road, some meet in the same celebration, and few meet intentionally. In any case, when two lions meet, they are called meeting lions. Unlike when two cars meet, the lion club has its own rules: first, treat each other with courtesy and be modest first; Second, if you can't meet each other with courtesy, you will use literary warfare; Third, if the war of words doesn't work, it will be solved by the warfare.

Generally, when the distance between the two lions is about five meters, the masters of the lion teams of both sides will press down their own lions, and the gongs and drums will ring gently, and the masters of the two teams will bow down to the lions of the other side. Then, pick up each other's lions and lead them to move slowly to the right. If the lions on both sides walk slowly, they will forget about it. If one of the lions is unwilling to move forward, there will be a "light-attracting symbol". Its content is roughly a question and answer:

Party A sings:

The lion across the street is shining with golden light, and I don't know where my senior brother lives; What is the lion's big name?

showing knowledge allows me to spread it.

After the gongs and drums sounded, Party B sang:

The gongs and drums sounded loud, and my younger brother lived in Jiangwan Township; Lion brother has only one nickname, Jiangwan Recreation Hall for short.

After the sound of gongs and drums, Party A sang:

The gongs and drums were banging, and I happened to meet my brother today; Brother is tolerant and generous, so don't blame my brother for getting in the way.

After the sound of gongs and drums stopped, Party B sang again:

Senior Brother lives in Jiangwan Township, a famous recreation hall; Please forgive me for being rude and blocking my brother from going to the examination hall.

in this way, you come and go, praise each other, and have a good time. However, due to the different educational levels of the masters and different emergency eloquence, one party is bound to be difficult to deal with. The master with poor eloquence knelt in front of the other master, treated him with courtesy, and asked him to go first. If the other party accepts, take the lion forward first, and the lion meeting will come to an end. However, if the other party thinks that the newcomer has no talent, but also wants to make a fool of the newcomer and continue to "fight", it will cause the following troubles. The "light symbol" will change from praising the other party to cursing the other party:

Party A sings:

The gongs and drums are banging, where wild dogs are in the way; If you don't walk with courtesy, will you move with a stick?

Party B sings:

Clouds cover the sun and turn cloudy, and wild dogs hurt people when they export; Don't go to the examination hall without talent, and pretend to be a man with mud and wood.

Party A sings:

There are all kinds of strange things in the world, and it is forbidden to drink a toast. It's you who are covered in mud, so hurry back and don't move forward.

Party B sings:

There are all kinds of scandals in the world, and puppets come to learn to be human; The first optical symbol is not fluent, and the weapons are not refined.

If you scold me with the "light symbol", I will scold you, and the more you scold, the greater the fire, and finally the situation of fighting will be caused. The martial arts of the lions will not be fought in swarms, but will be carried out in an orderly manner in the future.

before the tournament begins, both sides choose one expert in boxing, cudgel and knife, which is called "three people will win or lose". First of all, the martial arts ratio is high and low. First, Party A's representative takes a good posture-putting the tree, and Party B's representative attacks, and the winner gets one point; Next, Party B will set up an array for Party A to break the array, and the winner will also score one point. If one representative scores two points, the boxing contest can be stopped. If both sides score one point, it will be decided by Sanda. "Sanda" does not distinguish between "swinging" and "attacking". At the beginning of Sanda, the two sides leave three meters away, and when the drums sound, both sides try their best to avoid the other side's attack, or take advantage of the other side's attack to knock the other side down, and the first one to stick to the ground is negative. In three contests, the winner is the one who wins twice. The winning lion team scored a point.

after the boxing competition, there is a stick competition. Like boxing, cudgel fighting begins with "putting" and "entering". If both rounds are won by one side, the stick fighting will stop; If you win one game each, the third game will be a "scattered stick" contest-each will leave about 1 meters away, the drum will ring, and the contest will begin. Whoever hits the middle and lower parts of the opponent first will be the winner (according to regulations, the stick cannot hit the other's head). After the fist-stick contest, it is ideal that both will be won by one side. In this way, there will be no "double knife" competition.

However, there is often a phenomenon that each team will get one point, which will inevitably lead to a "double knife" contest. In the course of the contest, when the opponent comes, you can try your best to block the knife; When the opponent's knife is blocked, stab him with it immediately. If the other person can't dodge, his knife tip can only stab the other person's clothes. The "double knife" competition is "quick eyes, quick hands and quick feet, and don't fight unless you are quick." When the masters of both sides saw that the representatives of both sides were ready, they immediately started to work in full swing, and the cheerleaders of both sides (the rest of the lion team) waved flags and shouted, stopping the time, and the cold light shone, and you came and went. If both sides are equal in swordsmanship, there will be more than ten rounds; If the swordsmanship is different from one level, three times five divided by two will end the contest. "Double Knife" is different from boxing. As long as the opponent's knife is fended off and can stab the opponent's body, it is a victory.

After the fist, stick and knife contest, the outcome is decided. At this time, it is necessary to punish the loser. The light punishment is that the master of the loser lifts the other lion's hands, sends the winner forward more than 5 meters, and stands and watches him go away before returning to his own lion team. After stopping for 5 meters, the gongs and drums can be played again. The heavy punishment is to give all the lions, gongs and drums and all the weapons of the loser to the winner. Therefore, under normal circumstances, there will be no contest. Both sides of the Lion Team remember that "they can bear the anger for a while, so as not to worry for a hundred days", and they all treat each other with courtesy and keep a low profile and modesty. The two sides stride and crawl for a certain distance, and March forward for about 3 meters with a low gong sound before playing normal gongs and drums and dancing.

In fact, the lion team with a real kung fu level will remember the "Huaguang spirit"-"Courtesy is a master, and self-recognition of incompetence is a treasure; Try to be brave and win, and there are strong people in the strong. " Only the "half-bucket water lion team", which thinks Lao Tzu is the best in the world, will cause trouble and destroy the lion team.
