What are the customs in Anhui?

Anhui customs include: throwing lions in Hefei, holding class meetings in Bozhou, shadow play in Suzhou, flower drum lanterns in Bengbu and lion dance in Longteng, Lu 'an.

1, Hefei Toutoushi

"Throwing lions" is the content of entertaining people with flying Simon song, lion dance and sacrifice activities as the carrier, which is formed by working people in their long-term real life and customs. Among them, the lion's head is separated from the lion's body, and the lion's head dancer lifts the lion's head and puts it on her upper body before going to the stage, so there is an upward throwing action between the sleeves, so it is called "throwing the lion".

2. Bozhou City Class Meeting

The large class meeting is a rare folk dance, which is very wonderful and unique, and because of the development of the plot, it has the same effect as the traditional opera. The actors dressed in costumes and painted faces came on stage one after another, making a lot of noise. Although the large class meeting has a strong color of karma and feudal superstition in form, it intensively expresses people's desire to punish evil and promote good.

3. Suzhou Shadow Play

Shadow play, formerly known as "shadow play" or "light shadow play", is a folk drama that uses candles or burning alcohol to illuminate the silhouette of people made of animal skin or cardboard to perform stories. During the performance, the artists manipulated the shadow puppeteers behind the white curtain, telling stories with local popular tunes, accompanied by percussion instruments and strings, which had a strong local flavor.

4. Bengbu Flower Drum Lantern

It is a perfect combination of dance, lantern songs, gongs and drums, drama duet and emotional group dance. The male horn of ancient painted lanterns is called "drum stand" and the female horn is called "orchid" (or "pull flowers"). Most performances are held in the square, with temple fairs and Spring Festival being the most prosperous.

5. Longteng Lion Dance in Lu 'an City

The Longteng Lion Dance Team, dressed in colorful costumes, stopped and stopped at the roadside of the block to perform traditional folk arts such as lion dance, roller skating boat, flower flagpole, big-headed doll and lotus dance to the surrounding shops and passing people.

The golden dragon, which is more than ten meters long, flutters up and down in the hands of the players, swaying or flapping its wings. Sometimes the dragon enters the sea and twists and turns, turning up huge waves.
