The order of lion awakening and green picking

The order of lion awakening and green picking is as follows:

Look at green, explore green, try green and eat green. ?

Picking green is the fixed link and climax of traditional lion dance in China. In the process of lion dance, especially during the Spring Festival, the "lion" hunts "Li" hanging on a high place or placed in a basin through a series of routine performances. Because "Li" is often accompanied by green vegetables (mostly lettuce), it is named "Caiqing".

The moral of lion dance is a fixed link in the traditional lion dance activities of Han nationality, and it is the climax of lion dance activities. Originally, it had the meaning of "anti-Qing and regaining sight", but now it is generally taken as a symbol of "prosperity" and commercial prosperity.

behaviour

Generally speaking, picking greens includes exercises, scaring greens, eating greens and spitting greens. When the bride price is hoisted with bamboo poles, the lion dancer will climb up with a ladder (nine people cooperate) to pick it. The higher the ladder, the higher the skill, and the person who hangs "green" will be lucky.

trait

The other is "picking green water": there is a basin full of water on the bench, and "green" is put in the basin. Lion dancers have to jump up and down on the bench, perform various performances, and finally stand by the basin and pass their hands through the lion's mouth to get "green". Sometimes, lions need to step on their shoulders from the bottom of a "sea of people" five or six stories high. There are two or three people and dozens of people in this "sea of people". This is the climax of the lion dance. Skilled performances bring people a thrilling, warm and festive atmosphere and artistic enjoyment through education.
