While chatting, a rhythmic drum beat sounded, signaling that the lion dance had finally begun.
Cui Zhiduan and several other children immediately stood up and carefully observed the actions of the lions. Just watching, their expressions gradually became tangled - this is too difficult!
The awakening lions did not go up to the colorful building at the first time. Instead, they jumped on the row of plum blossom piles in front of the colorful building that were about two people high. The plum blossom piles were tall and narrow, only enough for one foot.
stand.
Even so, the four awakening lions still faced each other and fought for each other on the plum blossom pile. The thrilling fight for a small space was staged. It was so frightening to watch that one did not even dare to breathe out, for fear that the awakening lions would accidentally fall down.
Obviously, these worries are not necessary. The basic skills of these lions are very solid. They are not only able to do it with ease, but also very interesting to watch. One of the red and yellow lions is the most powerful. It actually broke through the encirclement of the other three lions.
He came out and jumped up to the colorful building next to him.
Seeing this, the other three awakening lions also jumped onto the colorful building, and the next performance became even more exciting. In order to prevent other awakening lions from climbing to the top, these four awakening lions fought for each other and used various methods, and even
Work together.
At this time, the one in the leading position was the red and yellow lion who climbed the stairs first. However, the situation on the colorful building suddenly changed without even realizing it. The other three lions silently formed a plan for it.
The tendency of double teaming.
The colorful building was just that big, and three awakening lions intercepted it. The red and yellow awakening lions instantly fell into the mud, and were stuck on the left and right, unable to move even an inch.
Suddenly, the bright yellow lion kicked its hind legs, and the red and yellow lion suddenly became unstable and began to slide down from the tall colorful building.
"Oh my God!"
"careful!"
…
"Father! Mom! The lion is about to fall!" Cui Zhidean nervously grasped his father's sleeves, the worry in his eyes almost overflowing.
There is no need for comfort, because the awakening lion tightly grasped the wooden frame of the colorful building at the critical moment and did not fall from the tall building. At this time, the drum beat became more intensive and exciting, and the awakening lion stepped on the drum and walked towards
The upward move seemed not to be affected at all by the setback just now.
Like other viewers, Ye Zhenzhen breathed a long sigh of relief. Even though she knew that this was actually part of the performance, she was still emotionally affected involuntarily. She didn't know whether it was because of the artistic rendering ability of the lion awakening artists or because of her own
Too restless.
Secretly glancing at Cui Weizhen, who looked calm, and then looking at the people who were holding their breath and concentrating, Ye Zhenzhen thought to herself that she was indeed one of the normal people.
"What's wrong?" Cui Weizhen, who noticed that she was being spied on, looked at her with a smile.
Ye Zhenzhen didn't dare to reveal her inner thoughts, so she asked very naturally: "Which awakening lion do you think can reach the top?"
Cui Weizhen glanced at her suspiciously, but he couldn't see any clues, so he had to answer her question: "The red and yellow end."
The tone was very firm.
"Why? Do you know the script in advance?"
Ye Zhenzhen had no choice but to be so suspicious, because the red and yellow awakening lion fell just now, not far or near behind the other three awakening lions. It didn't look like it could be the first one.
The look of climbing to the top.
Cui Weizhen glanced at her wife speechlessly: "This lion has the most solid basic skills."
"Ah, that's it."
Ye Zhenzhen touched her nose angrily, well, her ideological level was too low.
Facts have proved that Cui Weizhen's judgment was correct.
As the colorful ball on the top floor got closer and closer, the lions who had previously worked together entered a defensive and offensive mode, making various small moves constantly. Under this situation, the yellow and white lion made steady progress.
Unknowingly, I took the first place in the queue.
Keeping pace with it is another bright yellow lion awakening. In this small and small area, the competition is all about basic skills. As Cui Weizhen said, this red and yellow lion has solid basic skills and outstanding abilities. He is about to climb the mountain.
At the moment when he reached the top, he jumped up amidst the exclamations of the audience and landed on the highest point with the momentum of entrenching himself.
The lions are looming, and the drums are beating fiercely and majesticly, advocating the king's power and declaring the king's victory with a wanton attitude.
Immediately afterwards, the lion king bit off the colorful string on the colorful ball, and spread out a couplet with black characters on red paper. The first couplet said: The moon is full and the moon is waning, the moon is waning and the moon is full, year after year, twilight and morning.
, the sun will appear at the end of the night;
The second line is: Flowers bloom and fall, flowers fall and flowers bloom, summer, summer, autumn, summer and cool, and spring begins after the harsh winter.
The two-meter-long characters are full of elegance and style, and some knowledgeable readers exclaimed: "Good sentence! Good calligraphy! Who wrote this couplet?"
Ye Zhenzhen recognized it immediately and asked Cui Weizhen: "When did you write the couplet?"
Cui Weizhen: "I wrote it in the Yamen a while ago."
When customizing the archway of the Cultural Plaza, Yang Tongzhi specifically asked him for couplets. Cui Weizhen thought about it briefly and wrote down this couplet. The meaning of the couplet was very consistent with the Mingzhou Prefecture at that time, and it was also some of his expectations.
As soon as the couplets came out, the performance of the lion dancers ended. They thanked the people on the high building, and then came down one after another. At this time, it was time for Cui Weizhen to appear on the stage again.
He briefly spoke a few words, and soon came to the highlight of the day - Yang Tongzhi respectfully presented a pair of scissors, Cui Weizhen took it, walked to the archway and cut it, and the archway draped in red silk finally revealed its true appearance.
.
The couplets have not changed, but there is an additional horizontal line - Guotai Minan.
Most of the people couldn't read, but they still applauded very much. However, the scholars were more emotional. Among the crowd, there were many scholars who had gone to government offices for internship. They had seen Cui Weizhen's handwriting, and they were already excited.
He shouted out: "This is the calligraphy treasure of the prefect!"
Some people even thought of the calligraphy on the colorful building and went directly to Cui Weizhen to ask for the calligraphy treasure.
Take another look, isn't this the Confucianism of the government?
Kong Xuezheng gave a solemn salute and then said the purpose: "The magistrate is very talented, and his good calligraphy has his own style. Kong boldly asked for the calligraphy treasures to be placed in the collection of the government school, so that the students can always copy them."
study."
Cui Weizhen didn't care much about the calligraphy, and since it was what Kong Xuezheng was asking for, he nodded and agreed: "Kong Xuezheng is too polite, it's just a calligraphy. If you like it, the government officials will take off the couplet later.
Then send them to the government school."
Kong Xuezheng bowed and thanked him again.
Yang Tongzhi next to him secretly felt that it was a pity. He was also very coveted by the magistrate's painting, and he thought about asking the adults for it later, but he didn't expect that it was a step too late.
In the huge Mingzhou Prefecture, there are still many knowledgeable people.
