Overview of Haifeng unicorn dance props
The traditional lion dance of the Han nationality in Shanwei mainly includes unicorn dance (tiger lion) and lion dance, and their deductive methods and etiquette are not consistent. Here is a brief introduction to the customs and regulations of dancing Kirin. Kirin is made of bamboo sticks and paper. First, stick the bamboo stick into the shape of a lion's head, paste it on paper, stick bristles, horse hair or plant fibers on the eyes, ears and mouth, dry it, paint it in various colors, and then varnish it. There are many beautiful patterns around the lion head. The pattern on the forehead is called gossip, or painted with "fire delay" and "eight treasures", which looks like a flame. The pattern on the top of the head is called "fire goose", which is the shape of geese flying, meaning "exorcism" and "exhibition"; The pattern at the back is "Admiralty", which is in the shape of a flower. In addition to the head of the tiger lion, it is also necessary to make supporting items such as "lion quilt" (individual lion classes should prepare dance-inducing items, namely "Kuixing mask", "Georgie mask", "Nezha hat" and "playing ball"). The new unicorn (tiger lion) will hang a red ball with a red tassel ball tied in the middle with a red cloth strip. Hide a bunch of colored silk thread, several stitches and a small round mirror in the ball, and hang it firmly on the lion's head (the tip of Jinjiao), with both ends of the cloth hanging on the lion's ears. Then ask the teacher (Taoist) to recite the scriptures and open the shed (it must be opened once a year). When the lion comes out, the flat head (tiger fork) clears the way, followed by the flag of God, the lion (lion head) is in the middle, and the left and right four stick owners protect it. Followed by the steward with red stickers and gift baskets, there are strong men with surnames, lanterns the size of the martial arts school, followed by drum music, colorful flags, and the whole class (with knives, strings, swords, sticks, iron ruler, machetes and rattan knives). Up to now, Haifeng unicorn dance still retains its traditional performance. Usually, threshing floors and rural open spaces are used as performance venues. First put the lion master (on the T-shaped straw mat in front of the drum), and musicians and strong men stand on both sides of the tiger and lion. At the drum opening moment, the whole class stood up and sounded the "drum-urging tune" with big drums, gongs, cymbals, suona and loudspeakers, which started the ceremony with the earth-shaking sound and the majestic lion's power (also meaning "returning the soil to eliminate evil spirits"). Then the lion master and the lion tail master shook hands and saluted each other, dancing around the venue, expressing their wishes for a peaceful and favorable weather in the new year. Blowing and percussion music began with the introduction of "drum urging" and continued with "feng"; Eat four-door lice with Mountain Sheep, Shuangqing Tune and Zhao Chang; The word "Ford" was used at the end; Use "Jingtianluo" and "Jiulianhuan" in boxing; The dance stick plays "Dragon Crossing the River", "Inverted Pearl Curtain" and flute cover; Play colorful with "martial arts tune" (scattered tune).
