They were replaced by the boys because of "Feng Shui", and now they are "crazy"

"Can women go to the dragon boat on the dragon boat? Is it a feudal dross?" This topic, this topic has taken a lot of saliva for netizens. In fact, there is such a group of girls. In the wake -up competition, "one year award is more 10 years older than boys." In this way, they broke another "tradition" that is also controversial- "girls cannot wake up lions."

Recently, in the Dragon and Lion Competition of the 16th Games of Guangdong Province, the Women's Waking Lion Team of the Guangzhou Nanxinghexingtang Waterbuilding Lion Team played the first prize of the traditional South Lion Women's Team. "The score of the traditional Lion team is rarely scored more than 9 points." And the team formed by this post -00 girl scored 9.13 points in this competition, which was almost completed with zero errors.

In this video circulating on the Internet, this group of dark skin is dark, lean, but the eyes are bright and bright, and the junior high school girls who smile and are confident are members of the Women's Lion Team of Hexingtang. The coach raises this time to celebrate this victory.

They who have been criticized and disgusting because of "women can't wake up lions" have now won multiple trophy; hard -working lion training has made them gain friendship and self -confidence, and also proved their strength to outsiders.

"Boys are not better than us"

"What originally did not intend to participate was the participation by the Guangzhou Martial Arts Association." Speaking of the opportunity to participate, Yu Weizhao, coach of the girls, was quite proud.

Founded in the 1980s, the Hexingtang Wake -Lion Team did not formed his first female wake -up team until 2019. There are currently 20 members of this women's wake -up lion. For several years, the girls and boys have competed on the same stage.

In the fifth Guangzhou Youth Waking Lion Performance in 2021, their group lions performed the finale of "Taoyuan Jieyi". During the interpretation, the players showed the surging teenagers and spiritual spirit, showing solid basic skills. In an innovative plot such as Drunk Fist, he has received high evaluation of the judges and won the Gold Award of Lion Performance and the "Strongest Drumming Combination".

The Women's Lion Watering Team, who has repeatedly won the award, attracted the Dragon and Lion Committee of the Guangzhou Martial Arts Association in this way. After official investigation, the girls formed the Guangzhou City team to participate in the Guangdong Provincial Games Dragon and Lion Project competition held this year.

"I didn't plan to participate in the competition," but won the first prize of the provincial Southern Lion Women's Junior Group as soon as I shot. Yu Weizhao proudly said: "I have brought many teams, and only the team has won more than 10 years in this team than boys."

The traditional technique of wake-up lion requires a lot of time and energy to hone. Some people may initially feel fun and participate, but they really have to achieve grades. Take high pile learning as an example. It may take 5-6 years. You have to practice for three or four years -high piles are iron, falling from the pile, even if there is a protective pad underneath, it will inevitably have bumps and grinds. Similar things also happened in the Hexingtang Lion Team.

Coach Yu told the observer network, "Now boys are unwilling to participate in the competition", "They grew up after training for a while, and said that" now work 'is mainly work', there is no time to play. "So, Hexingtang The mission of the wake -up team's "participating in the championship" was "contracted" to these teenage girls.

This also has the previous sentence, "Boys are no better than us!"

The spirit of the Women's Wake -ups of Hexingtang showed the spirit of "not allowing the eyebrows" to be pleased. He commented that they were "very motivated." "I asked them if they were willing to go to the game, they all said they were, and then they won the championship from the district to the city."

"You can't find it. When the time arrives, they just reach the goal." In the view of coach Yu, opportunities are important, but more importantly, the girls also seize it. However, the coach behind this is not easy, because compared to boys, these girls still have a gap in physical fitness and their competitiveness is relatively weak. So every time you train, you need to continue to guide them to break through their limits. Whether it is the hot sun or the night when the summer is not scattered, the girls have been soaked and not relaxed. "Take the action of sitting one night as an example. After practicing 102 times a night, it is thousands of times a month", and the video will be taken every time. , Strive for excellence.

Because of these, there was the joy that coach Yu was difficult to hide during the interview after the game: "Our team goes to the game, just kill the audience, no matter how people usually use traditional prejudice to look at the woman wake up the lion, it is time We are shocking and sharp on the stage, not worse than anyone. "

The wonderful performance in the girls (interviewee)

"Girls can't dance lion"?

"Should girls like cloth dolls? Can girls dance lion?"

"Don't convince it! Round the lion and drums, swing the lion tail, and lift the lion head!"

This is the voice of the girls in an interview with an international fashion magazine in May this year. For a long time, the lion team is mainly male, but after encountering this group of 00s, traditional and habits can not be the reason for the rejection of them.

In May of this year, the Women's Lion Square Team of Hexingtang appeared on the "World Fashion Garden" from left to right.

In fact, as early as 1985, the first women's wake -up lion dance team was born in Guangzhou. It was established by Zhao Jihong, who was then known as the "Southern Lion King". He walked into the Guangzhou Cement Plant, Guangzhou Shipping Corporation and the First Cotton Textile Factory to teach the female workers of the factory.

Then in 2013, Coach Yu Weizhao felt that "the times have changed", and girls can also "play lion dancing". In addition to the support of community leaders, he determined to "break the customs" and began to bring a group of girls to "play the lion".

There is also a sad story in it. On the first day of the first month of 2019, coach Yu took a few girls out to participate in the commercial performance. The lion dance girls changed their clothing and the band was ready. The person in charge of the mall came to stop their shows, requiring that all must be replaced with male players.

"The reason is that I am afraid that it will affect Feng Shui." Speaking here, coach Yu was actually very uncomfortable "very stimulated at the time", "I also gave birth to a daughter.

Both players Zhong Ziying and Wu Shuxian remembered this. "At first we practiced for a long time, and spent a lot of thoughts in it." Wu Shuxian said, "The props are set up, and they are ready to start the performance. Boys, I found out that someone would have opinions. "

In desperation, the girls were finally replaced to let the boys perform on the court. "I can't quarrel with others, I can only say nothing, but there seems to be a thorn in my heart." He did not expect that the person in charge of the mall was so conservative.

The owner of the mall also said to the coach Yu's team. Yu Wei Zhaomo said nothing. After returning, he said to Zhong Ziying and they said, "Let's form a women's team, let me teach." When he said, coach Yu brought his most proud disciple Zhang Zheliang to start "recruiting soldiers and horses" to form a team.

As a result, it is precisely because of this "traditional prejudice" that the Women's Lion Lion Team of Hexingtang was officially established in 2019, opening their "championship journey".

Over the years, in the face of questioning and evil words, the girls have not discouraged, and stubbornly said, "We must show their strength for them to see." They were unconvinced and believed that "the new era should not be used to see girls with colored glasses", "should be equal between men and women". These beliefs have virtually prompting them to practice more diligently and let the questioners take orally. Coach Yu asked for this group of girls with the standard of training boys. Everyone started two kilometers. "Sometimes if you prepare for the game, the strength of the women's team will even be higher, more than the men's team."

Coach Yu also continued to improve the "new form" of the performance of the lion, showing the "boys'" fierce "and" girl '"softness' side." He does not think that only boys' lion dance can make the performance "might and powerful", and to "force out" the "fierce" side of these girls.

Preparing for the provincial competition, the action of sitting in the night alone is 102 times (the interviewee supply)

On the training ground, Yu Weizhao was "strict": "I definitely don't allow crying." I can yell, sweat, but not crying.

The members of the wake -up team, Kun Junyu and Wu Shuxian, told the Observer.com that in the training, coach Yu will personally teach "how to do a certain action" and then ask them to continue to repeat the training. Difficult action ". Girls call this process requested by the coach "to be a better self."

As for the selection of students to enter the industry, the threshold requirements of coach Yu are actually not high. "When you are 6 years old, you are interested" you can enter the team to train and observe. In the "adaptation period" of the children, Yu Weizhao first considers whether the child's personality is independent and strong. "I will see if she has not separated from 'mother too much care'. want"

"The biggest difficulty is no money"

Everyone still remembers the domestic animated film "Lion Boy". Although the left -behind children in the film, Ajuan, holding a lion head, successfully collected the green, successfully jumped to Optimus Prime at the end, and completed the "sick cat" to the "male lion". The counterattack, but the final ending was that the protagonist went out to work ...

Speaking of this topic, Coach Yu is hard to hide: the biggest difficulty of this industry is "no money", and one of the current sources of the current funding of the Women's Water Water Water Water Water Women's Waterbuesta is commercial performance.

The two lions performed a half-hour and a half hour. Such a commercial performance in Guangzhou may be about two thousand yuan. Each team member's salary was only about 150-200 yuan.

In recent years, lion dance has low income, the market has narrowed, and the attack of the epidemic has decreased by nearly 80%. In the past, the Spring Festival, which was too busy with the axis, is now very depressed. Many practitioners' lives are unsustainable and have changed careers.

Although the coach Yu of the Wake -ups team at the age of 12, the love of the wake -up lion has never changed, but in the face of the industry's prospects and his own family, he can only work as a wake -up coach while working.

The funding problem in the team also worried that Coach Yu slightly worried. This time, the provincial champion Nanxing Community issued thousands of dollars to Hexingtang, but there was no one in the village. The lion head cannot be set up. "Coach Yu took a photo with the lion head

Regarding the income of wake -up practitioners, coach Yu has his own views, "Wake up lion is a love, and I think it's boring to dance lion to dance lion." He talked about participating in a wake -up performance when he was young. Set up, he said, "This is the era, there is no way."

In addition, due to urban planning, the venue for girls trained to be converted into the runway of the airport. The coaches and girls fell into anxiety for a while.

In order to find a new venue, they found a lot of places and finally moved to No. 66 Dongxiang Road, Baiyun District, Guangzhou. This is not the most suitable place for wake -up training. The environment is crowded and there are many residents around. "Social leaders also helped find it. At present, there can only be this, there is no way." It was forced to move away and there was no suitable venue. Coach Yu was helpless. "Wake up, is the spirit of energy"

"Facing difficulties, giving up is useless."

The words hanging in the mouth of the girls let us see the growth of the girls. At first glance, they all looked at ordinary young girls, but at the moment they put on lions and shook up lion tails, they seemed to have changed, and their eyes were beyond their age, calmness, and sharpness.

In the process of lion dance training, coaches and girls grew together. Coach Yu was proud of the girls. He thanked them for showing their dreams over a decade; girls also knew the hard work of Yan Cyi's coach for them. With his encouragement, they learned how to face themselves and how bravery they were brave. Straight prejudice, gained friendship and sense of accomplishment.

"At the stage of youth, we succeeded with the hard work and the courage of coexistence. This is a rare experience."

"Wake lion let us understand what is called 'love', let us 'unique'."

And this group of young and vibrant 00s injects fresh blood into the non -heritage "sunset", which brings a new start.

At the end of the interview, coach Yu said: "I test you, what does the" wake "of wake up the lion mean?"

"Have the courage!"

"Like the second brother of Guan", be justice! "

"Wake up, it is a kind of spirit."
