After the divorce, I was tricked into a love show, and my ex-wife was anxious

Chapter 068: North Lion Tower of Babel, South Lion Plum Blossom Stake

Su Jinyue was originally a curious baby,

Guan Mingzhe, who was standing aside, was also standing on tiptoe, looking in that direction.

Seeing this, Shen Yu smiled and said,

"Then let's skip breakfast and go see the temple fair parade first."

Instantly received support from others.

Soon after, several people followed the crowd and came to another road.

Not long after, I heard the sound of gongs and drums.

It came from not far away and was getting closer and closer.

Soon, a dark blue medium-sized tricycle appeared in front of everyone.

The tricycle was moving very slowly, with red silk hanging on it.

There are banners of the Baihuazhai Temple Fair on the front and body of the car.

At this time, in the rear compartment of the tricycle,

An elderly man who is old but still energetic,

He was holding a drumstick as thick as his wrist, beating the large cowhide drum in front of him, which was about one meter in diameter.

The force was so great that the clanging drumbeats could be heard clearly within a radius of 100 meters.

Surrounding the old man was a group of men holding cymbals, beating out a pleasant rhythm in coordination with the drums.

Shen Yu was a little surprised when he heard the familiar drumbeat.

It is somewhat similar to the drum sound in the previous life.

Thinking of the netizens' ridicule of the phoenix's three nodding drum sounds in his previous life, Shen Yu couldn't help but smile.

"Pay off the mortgage, pay off the car loan, pay off the mortgage and pay off the car loan..."

(Brothers, I’m not lying to you, this is the tune, you can search it)

And behind the tricycle,

Two golden lions, looking majestic and powerful, are performing playful movements to the sound of drums.

The children around them laughed so hard that the adults on the side also applauded and cheered.

After Su Jinyue, Guan Mingzhe and others saw the lion dance,

They also looked very excited, even though they didn't see lion dancing very often.

Then the Dragon King's parade, the imperial carriage, the yangko team, etc., also passed by them one after another.

The entire parade team walked for more than ten minutes before disappearing from everyone's sight.

After watching the parade leave, the villagers continued to visit the temple fair.

Shen Yu and others looked unsatisfied.

Su Jinyue said with starry eyes,

"Those two lion dances just now were so adorable. Will we be able to see them again later?"

Shen Yu nodded and said,

"This is just a parade. There will definitely be a formal performance of the Southern Lion later."

After hearing this, Su Jinyue smiled and said,

"Then let's go early for the lion dance performance and get a good seat."

While the two were talking, Ji Shuyi suddenly interrupted and said,

"Shen Yu, I just heard you call the lion dance the Southern Lion Dance. Does it have any additional meaning?"

Shen Yu was stunned when he heard this.

Looking around, Luo Zhi and the others all looked bewildered, wondering,

"Don't you know there are two types of lion dances: Southern Lion Dance and Northern Lion Dance?"

Including Huang Ming, everyone shook their heads in tacit agreement.

Obviously they haven't heard of this.

Su Jinyue said bluntly,

"Don't all lion dances look like this? It's just that the colors sometimes change."

Seeing this, Shen Yu had no choice but to explain it to everyone.

"Lion dances are divided into northern and southern lion dances. There's a saying that goes, 'Northern lions reach the sky, southern lions dance on plum blossom poles. Northern lions dance on towers, southern lions fly on poles.' This refers to the unique skills of the northern and southern lion dances."

"The lion dance you often see is the Southern Lion Dance, which is characterized by its flexible movements on the plum blossom poles. The Northern Lion Dance, on the other hand, uses two ropes to climb up to a platform over 20 meters high with bare hands, without any safety measures, and then performs a highly difficult performance on the platform."

Everyone took a deep breath when they heard this.

They were all shocked by Shen Yu's description just now.

This is not a lion dance, this is simply a life-threatening situation.

The height of the plum blossom pile of the Southern Lion is generally about 2.8 meters, which is already very thrilling.

I didn't expect the Northern Lion to be so difficult.

It was more than 20 meters above the ground. Without any precautions, he dared to climb up by just stepping on two ropes.

The audience in the live broadcast room were also shocked by Shen Yu's words.

"Shen Yu is right. I'm from Henan Province. There are fewer and fewer Northern Lions these days because it's too dangerous. Many young people don't want to learn it."

"Ah, when I was a kid, I saw a Northern Lion performance. The Northern Lion really looked like a lion, and its movements and expressions were so lifelike that I was very scared. On the contrary, the Southern Lion is very cute. Which one would you prefer?"

"Now I know why Northern Lion is not popular anymore. This is SSS level in difficulty."

"Brothers, if you search for Beishi's Eight Sons Entering the Imperial Examination, you will understand why Beishi is now in decline."

"If Shen Yu hadn't mentioned it, I would have thought the Northern Lion was lost. I even saw a lion rolling an embroidered ball when I was a kid. It was really impressive."

"..."

A popular science quote from Shen Yu:

This made many netizens in the north recall the northern lion deep in their memories, and they couldn't help but sigh.

Henan Province,

In a small village called Daliwang,

A young man quickly finished his breakfast.

I opened the Heart-beating Lover live broadcast room and watched Shen Yu's live broadcast.

Just then, Shen Yu's voice talking about the Northern Lions was heard in the live broadcast room.

On a dining table not far away, an old man was holding a bowl and eating breakfast slowly.

After hearing the sound, tears flowed like a river bursting its dam and I couldn't stop them.

When the young man heard the old man sobbing, his face changed drastically.

I quickly put down my phone, ran to the old man, and asked anxiously,

"Grandpa, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell? I'll take you to the hospital now."

The old man took out a handkerchief and wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes.

He waved his hand and said,

"Grandpa is fine. I just heard someone talking about the Northern Lion on your phone, and I got a little emotional for a moment."

When the young man heard this, he seemed to have suddenly realized something and said,

"Yes, Grandpa, you were a Northern Lion Dancer when you were young, and so was my great-grandfather."

The old man gently touched the young man's head, and said with a look of nostalgia,

"Your grandfather and I are only average, but your great-grandfather was amazing. He was a member of the lion dance team from Daliwang Village. He won the Northern Lion King Competition and the Eight Sons Pass the Imperial Examination, and won the title of Lion King. He even represented the public at the National Congress of Literature and Art that year, performing for the President and the Prime Minister."

"Is our village's lion dance team so amazing? They've even performed for the president and the prime minister."

"Of course. Marshal Chen has also seen our performance and said that this is the best lion in China."

When he said this, the old man couldn't help but sigh.

This is a bit sad.

"We didn't pass down our ancestors' skills. In order to make a living, we gave up the craft and went to the city to work. Now, there are far fewer people who can perform the Northern Lion Dance than before."

The young man heard this and thought for a moment.

Then he said,

"Grandpa, how about we hold another Northern Lion King Competition?"
