Since 1983

Xu Fei stayed in Xinchang for five days and inspected four villages and towns.

Xushui only introduced lion dance in the 1920s, while Xinchang has a long history and a lot of flower work. For example, the lion dance team in Xiazhou Village has a unique skill of lion swallowing a mace, which is astonishing.

As for the so-called black-haired lion, I don't have much impression, it's just that the material of the drape is different.

Five days later, the team came to Quzhou and watched the hand lion dance and the tough lion dance.

The hard-headed lion is called hard shell by the locals. The lion's head is carved from dog tree or camphor tree, covered with thick and long green-blue lion hair. It is very bulky, and its shape is also very abstract, which means it is a bit different.

The hand lion dance is similar to the dragon dance. It is long and completely exposed, supported by a short wooden stick. About 1.2 meters, you can dance solo or in pairs.

This is better, you can add it to enhance the atmosphere.

In addition to being unique, the programs of the Asian Games are more important in terms of artistic aesthetics and cannot be ugly.

The black-haired lion and the hard-headed lion are so ugly.

…………

In the afternoon, the sun slanted into the half-opened curtains and shone on the old man on the bed.

His face was flushed and he smelled of alcohol. After curling up on the bed for an unknown amount of time, Pu Leng turned over and opened his eyes.

"Oh, drunk and dreaming!"

Xu Fei rubbed his face and fell into philosophical thinking.

There are many places to visit in Zhejiang Province, and there are treats everywhere, restaurants in the city, local products in the village, yellow, white, and beer in turn, and this place eats spicy food that is surprisingly bubbling!

As a native of Zhejiang Province, I actually eat spicy food, where can I go to reason? He drank it every day and ate every meal, and he was about to get hemorrhoids.

Teacher Xu thought for a while, washed his face and brushed his teeth, and quickly opened the curtains. The afternoon sun was shining brightly, shining on this small town with a long history.

"Oh, there are two more meals tomorrow..."

He checked the time and prepared to go out for some activities, otherwise he would really get hemorrhoids and touch blood on his hands, and he would not be able to explain it when he went back.

The temperature in Quzhou is in the 10s and it is colder at night.

Xu Fei was wearing jeans, sneakers, pulled out a jacket and put it on. When he arrived at the corridor, he saw Xiao Mo and Lao Liu going downstairs, carrying a camera bag.

"Why go?"

"Go for a walk outside, take some pictures, you go out too?"

"Me too, I'm dizzy from drinking."

The three of them looked at each other and empathized.

Walking out of the guest house and walking on the street, a kind of unhurried, antique life blows over us. The old city walls that can be seen in the distance, the old houses with gray tiles and white walls, and the aroma of scones in the small shop reveal the authentic Jiangnan flavor.

There are not too many modern buildings in the whole city, and the most prosperous one is the South Street Department Store.

Xiao Mo walked around with the camera on his shoulders and took pictures, and he also liked this way. Along the way, he saved several tapes of humanities and customs. Xu Fei also thought of a few interview lines, which looked more and more like a small documentary.

The three of them were in high spirits and wandered far away until Lao Liu patted his stomach and said he was hungry.

"Let's find a place to rest, what do you two want to eat?"

"The rabbit head at noon is not bad."

"Well, it's not bad."

Whoa!

Xu Fei was shocked, "You two can do it, I almost didn't kill me at noon."

"Spicy is the taste!"

"Just eat the rabbit's head."

Quzhou has three heads and one palm, rabbit head, duck head, fish head, and duck paw. This is not an ancient method, and it has only become popular in the market in the past two years.

Xu Fei touched it for a while, and grabbed an aunt, "Is there a rabbit head nearby?"

"What?"

The aunt didn't understand, she spoke an authentic dialect.

"Rabbit head!"

"Rabbit head, it's Auntie Jiang's..."

Teacher Xu's ears were pricked up, bouncing around is so cute. The aunt was happy, pointing to the front and trying to say a few words.

The two parties communicated for a long time, to the effect that there is a school in front and a shop diagonally opposite, the rabbit head hates it!

So the three of them continued to walk forward and walked for a while. First, they saw a building. The sign at the door was a middle school, and there was a small shop diagonally opposite.

Xu Fei looked at the school signboard with a delicate expression, what is fate, this is fate!

After entering the store, there were many customers. Lao Liu ordered a plate of rabbit heads, some side dishes, and scones.

A plate of five, the whole head is served, the skull is clear, the eye sockets are obvious, and there is a strong marinade smell.

Made by marinating method, the spicy taste is absorbed from the meat to the bone. Lao Liu couldn't wait to grab one, Xu Fei struggled again and again, and still took a bite. The next second, he felt a fireball swallowed from his mouth to his stomach, his pores burst open, and he was sweating profusely.

"handy!"

Old Liu let out a loud cry, and Xiao Mo straightened up the fun.

"Why is this screaming, cough cough, screaming vigorously? Cough cough..."

Xu Fei poured water with one hand and gnawed scones with the other, and he didn't press down for a long time.

The boss is a young man, and he said happily, "Are you a few foreigners, come from the north with an accent?"

"He's from the capital."

"The capital!"

The boss's eyes lit up, and he sat down next to him, "Our food is spicy, and I'm generally not used to it. What do you guys do... huh?"

He saw that the camera was covered, and the mouth was open, revealing a dark guy.

"I read in the newspaper that some comrades from the capital came to inspect the lion dance team. Could it be you?"

"I watched it too, the Asian Games!"

The shop suddenly boiled.

"We are a good place in Quzhou, we must choose it."

"What day is it today? It's so fateful."

"Another rabbit head, my treat."

"Can you please come to my place for dinner? This meal is free."

Xiao Mo simply took out the camera and said: "Everyone be quiet, I just have a few interviews, who will come first?"

"Also, still interviewing?"

Everyone was eager to try, but very shy, and pushed out the boss together.

Xiao Mo pointed the camera at the camera and said, "It's fine to speak normally, how many years has your shop been open?"

"One, one year."

"How's business?"

"good, very good."

"Do you know about the Asian Games?"

"I know, I know."

"Then what do you think hosting the Asian Games means to China?"

"Well……"

The boss got stuck, scratched his head and thought for a while, "I'm uneducated, and I don't know how to speak, so I just think it's an honor to hold such a big event in my own country."

With him taking the lead, the diners stepped forward one after another.

"Support, national affairs, must support!"

"Don't call for donations now? I just donated half a month's salary."

"Grandpa Mao is right, the Chinese people have stood up!"

While filming, I suddenly heard the bell ringing on the opposite side, and it seemed that school should be over by the time.

Xiao Mo subconsciously ran to the door and took pictures of the opposite school, only to see a group of teenagers running out, full of youth, enthusiasm and lively, and a very small number of them were riding bicycles.

"..."

He took a casual photo of it as a street scene for a while, glanced at the power of his eyes, and wanted to turn off the phone. Xu Fei didn't know when he was standing beside him, and suddenly said, "Hey, shoot that little girl."

"Which one? Oh!"

Xiao Mo quickly found a female student. He didn't ask if it was true, but he felt that it was because it was too noisy.

Hair tied, baby fat face, big eyes, facial features not yet opened, bouncing around with a schoolbag on her back, jumping onto the back of the female classmate in front, grinning loudly.

"My fourteen-year-old son, it's rare to see him..."

Teacher Xu gnawed on the scones, looked across the street, pinched his fingers and shook his head, "It's a pity that the opportunity hasn't come yet."

………………

After staying in Zhejiang Province for a week, the team rushed to Linfang, Fujian Province.

The Linfang green lion is very characteristic. The lion head is the smallest one I have seen so far, with a protruding forehead, gossip on the forehead, and a lion tongue with auspicious words written in its mouth.

Quite "Spirited Away" style of painting.

The lion's body is very long, can exceed 3 meters. There is no hair, and the body of the lion is made of cloth. It is pure blue, so it is called the blue lion.

Linfang has obvious Hakka culture and belongs to the martial arts lion, commonly known as the male lion. Fighting skills are the main focus, with flexibility and agility. The lion's head can hide a weapon and use it as a quality card.

Xu Fei traveled to three provinces and saw more than ten kinds of local lion dances, and he was more inclined to Xushui, Xiazhou Village and Linfang.

From the north to the south, from the south to the north, I went out in November, and it was already winter when I returned to Beijing.
