According to myths and legends, lions appeared in the mountains and ate the villagers in the village. Later, the villagers learned martial arts and killed the lions, and the villagers imitated the lions. The shape of the lion dance was transformed into a lion dance; some mythological versions say that Tathagata Buddha leads the lion away, so there is often a "big-headed Buddha" among the southern lions to lead the lion. There are also legends that villagers used paper lions and gongs and drums to drive away the Nian beast, which evolved into a lion dance. Lion dance.

Today's lion dance is mainly divided into two types: southern lion and northern lion. Initially, northern lion was more popular in the north of the Yangtze River; while southern lion is popular in southern China, Southeast Asia and overseas. The dance method that combines the two mainly uses the steps of the southern lion and the northern lion, which is called "South Lion North Dance"

Northern Lion

Northern Lion's footwork. The shape is similar to a real lion, with a simple lion head and golden fur all over the body. The pants and shoes of the lion dancers (usually two people dance) are covered with fur. Before dancing, they already look like a lifelike lion. Those with red knots on their heads are male lions, and those with green knots are female. Northern lions display flexible movements, which are different from southern lions. They dance by jumping, falling, turning, rolling, jumping, and scratching.

Northern lions usually appear in pairs; they are led by their masters dressed as warriors. Sometimes a pair of northern lions will be paired with a pair of small northern lions, and the small lion will tease the big lion. Children play for fun, showing their family relationship. The Northern Lion performance is closer to a juggling act, with Beijing cymbals, Beijing gongs and Beijing drums as the main elements.

Southern Lion. Also known as the dancing lion, it has a more powerful shape and focuses on horse steps when dancing. The southern lion mainly relies on the movements of the dancers to express the powerful lion form. Generally, only two people dance with one lion head as a guide. , colorful and exquisitely made; the eyes and mouth can be moved. Strictly speaking, the lion's head of the southern lion does not look like a lion's head. Some people even think that the southern lion's lion's head has a horn. It is said that in the past, it was made of iron to cope with the fighting that often occurred during lion dance.

The Southern Lion has performances such as coming out of the cave, going up the mountain, patrolling the mountain to meet lions, picking green leaves, and entering the cave. Among them, "picking green" is the most common. According to legend, "caiqing" originally meant "revolting the Qing Dynasty and restoring the Ming Dynasty".

Buyi Changmu Chun) and so on.

The Southern Lion Dance is accompanied by large gongs, drums and cymbals. The lion's dance should match the rhythm of the music. Sometimes there will be a person dressed as a "big-headed Buddha" in the Southern Lion Dance, holding a sunflower fan and leading the dance.

Before the lion dance, an "eye-dotting" ceremony is usually held. The ceremony is performed by the officiating guest, who applies cinnabar to the lion's eyes to symbolize giving life. 4. Essay on Lion Dance

I saw a wonderful lion dance performance.

In the afternoon, almost four o'clock. My brother and I were competing on the table to do our homework. Suddenly, there was a sound of gongs and drums outside. It sounds so familiar, but I can't remember it. The mother on the side seemed to know, "Is it the sound of the lion dance?" The mother walked out. Walking to the window, "Sure enough, the lion dance is coming." Before she could finish her words, my brother and I ran out.

We came to the lion dance group. I looked at the lion dance troupe, there were only about twenty people. Some of them were beating gongs and drums, some were watching, and some were guiding. Their clothes are all yellow. I ran and kept up with the lion dance troupe. There are only two lions, one red and one yellow. The red one is the male and the yellow one is the female, just like a couple. They were playing in the middle of the road, you next to me, I next to you.

Gradually, there were more people and more applause. In the sea of ??people, I couldn't help laughing. I was afraid of being squeezed to the back, so I squeezed hard and squeezed hard. Finally, I squeezed to the front. I glanced behind me. Ah, in that man's ocean, there are high and low waves, and there are all kinds of fish. The people in order of height are the beautiful waves, and the colors of the people's clothes are colorful, just like the beautiful fish of different colors. I looked forward and saw those two beautiful lions playing in the crowd. The performance was so lifelike! The two lions were jumping around like real lions. At this time, the audience welcomed the lion with warm applause.

At this time, the firecrackers to welcome the lion group also went off. The lively applause plus the sound of firecrackers and gongs and drums combined into one, deafening. Stopped in front of a store. Probably the lion dance here! It was exactly what I expected. Two lions danced in front of the store. They were jumping up and down in front of the shop, as if they were wishing the shop owner a happy New Year. They started grabbing things. Two oranges and a cabbage were hung on the lintel of this shopping mall, as well as a red envelope. The two lions glanced at each other. The red lion took the lead and stood up suddenly. In an instant, it took the dish and the red envelope into its mouth, and then squatted on the ground and turned into a sitting lion. For a while, he and his beautiful wife were walking on the ground, swaggering in front of the audience. At this time, the audience once again shouted "OK" with warm applause. After a while, it was time to go to a farther place, and the two lions began to walk away again. Suddenly the firecrackers went off to send off the lion dance troupe. Since I wasn't familiar with the place, I didn't follow him.

I watched the lion dance troupe leave from a distance, feeling a little reluctant to leave. After a while, I returned to my residence. Sitting on the chair, at this moment, the appearance, movements and form of the lion dance still appeared in my mind, so I fell into memories. When I woke up, I saw that my brother had finished three math problems, and I couldn't help but regret it. So I understand: everything in the world has a good side and a bad side. But it was a great honor for me to see the wonderful lion dance performance today. 5. An essay about The Lion King with the Red Ribbon

A few days ago, my mother borrowed a copy of "The Lion King with the Red Ribbon" by Shen Shixi. I couldn't wait to open it, and a refreshing scent of books hit my nostrils. The plot in the book attracted me deeply like an ecstasy, and I seemed to be stuck in a quagmire and unable to extricate myself.

The story tells that the wasp-waisted lioness is a lioness in the Patiru pride. During a hunt, he had a conflict with the leader of the lion, Lao Zamao. In the end, a wandering male lion, the Yellow Giant Hyena, and his assistant, the Braided Lion, defeated the old Zamao. The Yellow Giant Hyena ruled the Patilu pride, but after taking office, the Yellow Giant Hyena killed all the young lions. Heartbroken, the wasp-waisted lioness left the Patiru pride. While wandering, she met the impoverished lion Red Ribbon. She rescued Hong Ribbon and started a family with him, finding a piece of land of her own.

Later, by chance, she met the giant yellow hyena again. The giant yellow hyena and the braided lion defeated the red ribbon and brutally killed their children. The pain of failure made Red Ribbon extremely timid. In order to regain his prestige, the wasp-waisted lion took in the stray lion without hyena. During a hunting trip, they found that the Patilu lions were trapped in a circle surrounded by elephants. They bravely rescued the Patilu lions and formed an alliance. Due to disagreements within the Patiru pride, they took the opportunity to rule the Patiru pride, with Red Ribbon becoming the leader. But after coming to power, Red Ribbon followed the old path of the giant yellow hyena and also killed many lion cubs. The giant wasp-waisted lion was extremely disappointed and left the Patilu pride again.

When I solemnly turned over the last page, I closed the book in deep thought, filled with thoughts. The wasp-waisted lioness in the article wanted to change the thousands of years of tradition that the lion king would kill the cubs in the group when he came to the throne, but he failed in the end, which made me deeply moved. In comparison, aren’t we humans the same? Some people want to change the laws of survival of living things, conquer nature, and clone various animals. But the cloned animals lost their original emotions and changed the biological laws. Although they are indistinguishable from real animals, they cannot live a normal life. Human beings cannot be short-sighted just for immediate interests, nor can they only envy the temporary surprise of the flower of success and change the laws of biology. If we continue to destroy the earth's ecological environment and change the laws of biology, there will be only one result, and that is that what we will leave to our descendants will be a chaotic living environment. Therefore, we cannot change the laws of biology, but must take into account the feelings of living creatures, give them a pure living environment, and live in harmony with them. 6.
