How many steps are there in the lion dance and the lion shed?

"Lion Treading Shed" is a grand celebration or magical work (such as returning to the DPRK in the countryside, playing games, playing games), where lions stay for a long time, or several lion teams celebrate at the same time. It takes more than four hours to step on the lion shed and more than 20 square meters of floor. Without these conditions, there would be no lion shed. In fact, stepping on the lion shed is a combination of lion dance art and martial arts performance of a lion team. If this lion team dares to step on the lion shed, it shows that this lion team has certain dancing skills and martial arts, and it is a relatively complete lion team. Traditionally, lions must have weapons-double knives, clubs, quick rakes, tiger balls, broadswords and spears. When passing through a village or street, weapons are arranged on both sides of the lion. The armed men are all full of energy and mighty. In addition to cheering, these weapons are also used for lion dance performances. In recent years, the soldiers have been divided into two ways, and the masters are old and weak. There are very few lions who can perform weapons now, and only dance can cope.

The whole process of stepping on the lion shed includes four parts: worship, stepping, fighting and fighting. When the sound of gongs and drums changed from small to big and then to full swing, the lion jumped in from outside the circle and bowed to his master. At this time, the master led the lion to the first program-worship the four doors. After four visits, the lion fell asleep. After nearly falling to the ground several times, the gong sounded and the lion began to "wake up": first, he opened his eyes and closed his eyes and shook his ears, then he looked around and listened to all directions. When the lion stretched out for the second time, Big Face washed his face, wiped his head and pulled out his ears. "Big Face" used too much force to make the lion feel uncomfortable. I thought it was a "little face" and chased it ... After the lion woke up, he began to step on the shed. At this time, the lion was uncharacteristically. After stretching in the high jump for three times, bow to the tongue for three times and sit on the ground for three times (first left and then right, tidy your left and right feet with your tongue and tidy your tail for three times). Later, the lion wanted to turn to the other side to dance and worship. At this time, "big face" and "small face" put forward suggestions: "big face" makes the lion turn east, while "small face" makes the lion turn west; "Big Face" wants the lion to jump down, but "Little Face" wants the lion to jump up ... and puts the lion in a dilemma. After some teasing, the lion did not listen to the words of "big and small faces" and turned to the back to worship the tongue for cosmetic surgery. After worshipping on all sides, the lion wanted to sit down and rest, being led by the "big face" and being pushed by the "small face" to jump obliquely. The lion was tired, so he sat down and dozed off. "Big and small noodles" came to tease again, and the lion couldn't bear it. He even involved "big noodles" in the lion's quilt. "Noodles" touched the lion's ass to make the whole "big noodles", and the lion caught the "noodles". When the lion reached for the noodle, the noodle jumped away. That's it. Catch one and get rid of one. Finally, the lion pretended to hold on to Noodles, which didn't know what the plan was and was desperate to save Noodles. Just then, the lion was involved in the "big face" in his stomach. The lion, "bedding face" and "bedding face" left the flat ground together with the sound of gongs, and the work of stepping on the shed was half finished.

When the brakes were in full swing, the martial arts performance began. The first is the boxing performance, where three or five people are hot first; After that, the head apprentice (big apprentice) performed Xing Jiaquan108; Then, two disciples performed Cai Jiaquan's fifty-four tricks; Followed by "a hundred flowers blossom", some people performed "Hong Quan Cai Quan Wei" and others performed "Cai Quan Hong Quan Wei". After the solo performance, Sanda begins: either one person to one person, or one person to two people, three people and so on. As soon as boxing is over, there will be a stick performance: generally, one or two people who are proficient in stick will be selected to perform on behalf of the lions. The focus of bonzi performance is "combination": two people fight each other, one against two people and one against three or four people, which looks scary. At first glance, I really thought it was a fight. The stick was laid from above and stabbed from the side, which was very dangerous. In fact, if you practice well at ordinary times, you should follow the back and forth movements when fighting. How to fight, how to prevent, how to prevent, how to prevent, you are already very familiar with your own technology, and you will not "leak" people.

There is a knife performance behind the stick. The first is the performance of "Difficult Door Knife", with 80 cm long blade and 1 m long handle. This kind of fencing is usually performed by a fat man of medium height. Because the knife is heavy and fast, especially when playing with a flower knife, the cold light shines, which really makes you feel that you can't see people when you see the knife. Although there are only 54 movements, it is difficult for ordinary thin people to complete them. Then the double knives were introduced. The so-called "double knives" means that a person holds two curved knives with sharp mouths one foot and five inches long. A person who dances with two knives must be small and flexible. The action of dancing double knives is to attack from the left and attack from the right, which is fast, jumping and moving closely. Among them, there are three movements: landing on the ground with both feet, using the inertia of rushing forward, and moving forward more than four meters in an instant, which is called "walking" by experts. These short and inflexible people are incompetent. After the double-knife performance, the rake and the iron cow will appear. Both the fast rake and the iron ox weigh more than ten kilograms, so it's hard to perform. These two weapons can only be done by people with superior arm strength. They have 64 movements, which is the standard to measure the integrity of a lion team's martial arts. Therefore, the iron ox can rake fast and the martial arts is better. After the performance of Iron Bull and Fast Rake, it is the world of light weapons: spears, benches, three-section sticks, Sanda performances and so on. Finally, the master performed. After the Sanshou performance, a complete lion stepped on the shed and ended with the sound of gongs and drums.
