Hit the lion.

Huotong Line Lion now lives in Huotong Town, Ningde, Fujian Province, and is also a famous painting lion. Locals call it "lion beating", which is a unique form of folk entertainment. Before the performance of the line lion, stage production, lighting effect configuration and rope arrangement were all manual operations. The knot of the rope is the key link in the performance of the line lion.

The legend of the class beating the lion:

There is also a folklore about the elements of Naxiban's lion-beating performance. Legend has it that the Tang Priest took the Monkey King, Friar Sand and Pig to the Western Heaven to learn Buddhist scriptures. When passing through the black wind tunnel, there was a lion essence hidden in the black wind tunnel. Friar Sand rested and slept in front of the black wind tunnel. The lion spirit missed Friar Sand, but Friar Sand surrendered cleverly.

According to legend, the lion fighting in Naxi class is based on this story, so there are "Yunka", "Monks playing with lions" and "Monkeys climbing poles" in the performances.
