Hua Chunying likes!Ningbo's "lion dance boy" fire abroad

Not long ago, in Qiantong Town, Ninghai County, Ningbo City, a number of lion dance performances lived on multiple platforms of CGTN. The spokesman of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs Hua Chunying posted a text.

(How did the lion dance perform? The young man showed some of the basic lion dance under the lion clothes. Very special, did you?)

In the video, a teenager never wearing a lion head to the performance of wearing a lion head. As the camera continued to switch, a set of ten -second performance, including the basic action of lion dance, has a plate and eye.

The protagonist of the video is Zhang Zhenhao from former Tong ancient town in Ninghai Ninghai. Earlier, foreign Chinese Lu Qianqian and American international friend Rachel Lynn Weiss passed the video to show the lion dance performances of Qiantong Ancient Town to global netizens through multiple live broadcast platforms of CGTN, which attracted attention.

Zhang Zhenhao, 13, has practiced lion dance in the past three years and has won the first prize of the Zhejiang Dragon Lion Championship for two consecutive years. He is full of respect and love for this art. More than a dozen students often use the spare time to practice three times a week. After the action is in place, they will wear lion heads, wear lion clothes, and present the most perfect performance.

Behind this traditional folk sports activity, it is not only inseparable from the long -standing lion dance culture of the former Tong ancient town, but also a native "lion head" -tong Tong Panfeng.

Former children's lion dance has a long history and can be traced back to the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty. For various reasons, the former lion dance gradually declined in the middle of the 20th century. Until the Lantern Festival in 2016, a lion re -"broke into" the vision of the former children's folks, setting off the wave of dragon dance dance culture in the former children's town. And this "lion" is Tong Panfeng.

Why do you think of the lion dance campaign? It turned out that Tong Panfeng had a chance to learn that his grandfather was a member of the former Tong Lion Class, so in 2015, he moved to Shandong, Anhui, Guangxi and other places to learn lion dance. After the return of Xuecheng, Tong Panfeng began to promote lion dance.

Promoting and inheriting the lion dance movement from the doll. In 2017, with the support of the former Tong Town Government and Qiantong Town Central Primary School, Tong Panfeng established the "Dragon Dragon and Lion Dance Team of Qianchong Central Elementary School" in the form of extra -curricular interest classes, officially recruiting young students to open class teaching. From then on, every Thursday afternoon and weekends, a group of lion dance teenagers will appear in the temples in the school, the temple of the ancient town, and the hillside outside the town.

Tong Panfeng believes that the current dragon dance lion dance has escaped the meaning of the traditional "cultural heritage", and will be respected by the public as a new sports such as flying disk and squash in the future. "If the cultural heritage is the basis of the Dragon and Lion Movement, then fitness is its core." Tong Panfeng said that the Dragon and Lion Movement is a low threshold, both children or elderly people can join it. "Although in the cognition of many people, the dragon dance lion and dance must" jump up and down ", but in fact this sport still has many basic actions, which is very suitable for young people and middle -aged and elderly people to strengthen their body." At the same time, Tong Panfengfeng It is also planned to promote the dragon dance lion to primary and secondary schools in Ninghai County as a special sports project of the school.

The relevant person in charge of the group department of the Ninghai County Sports Bureau said that the attractive attention of the Ninghai Dragon and Lion Movement is the good results of Ninghai County's importance and promotion of local traditional cultural and folk sports projects in recent years.
