Lion awakening and green picking sequence

Picking green is an essential link in the lion dance performance, which means "stepping on the green", which is also related to the origin of lion dance. Because martial arts were banned in Qing Dynasty, Guangdong folk integrated martial arts movements into lion dance, thus developing Guangdong lions. Therefore, in the past, it was always to learn lions first and then practice martial arts, and martial arts was closely related to lion dance.

Of course, there is also a saying in modern times that as a well-meaning leader, most vegetables are lettuce, because in Cantonese, it means the same thing as "making money". When lions eat green, they tear up lettuce and scatter it on the ground, which means making money everywhere.

If a lion dance is invited, the host will tie a red envelope on the lettuce as a small gift. The lion's head and the lion's tail will be shared, and they will not be very big. Just 10 20 or 16.8 means good.

First of all, I saw Qing, because the lion is a very cautious and suspicious animal. After seeing Qing, I may study what it is first, and then look around carefully. This process is all about looking around, or I can add a few exhibitions to see the specific routines. After reading it, I'm sure it's not dangerous and it's not taken away by other animals. I came to Qing's side and rubbed it with my mouth to see if it was edible and delicious. Then I beat the drum to eat it, bite it and stand up (you can also do some difficult movements here, such as sitting on your head and crossing your legs, which will be more enjoyable). Then I want to chew, that is, raise my head and move my mouth, and repeat it several times, just like a person is chewing something.

If an exhibition is held, this step is used for testing. Suddenly, jump close, look into your eyes, and then jump away. Both the middle exhibition and the next exhibition mean to have a look, think again, lick and jump away quickly. Straight exhibition means jumping from a distance. Generally, it is to wipe the back or the green, that is, to wipe it with the back or mouth, or to wipe it in circles for four times, which shows the possessiveness of the lion.

When you see green, you can also make a bow flower head to show that the lion is very excited. You can do it on the ground, or you can do it with difficult movements such as thighs and heads. Eating green can be eaten directly by squatting down or pinching the waist. Clamping the waist is a difficult movement. If you play, you can get extra points. If you perform, it will be very beautiful.
