Chapter 304

She said, "I'm so nervous! But I'm also so excited! I'm going to use everything I've ever learned."

They say it's everything she's ever learned,

but it's just a few moves Qin Feng briefly practiced with her yesterday.

Open eyes, wash whiskers, smooth fur, shake fur, plus dozing off and the cute lion waking up~

Few moves, but absolutely enough!

Qin Feng patted the lion's head and said, "Go for it, little lion!"

Reba was about to leave.

But Qin Feng held her head down.

He said, "Wait, there's still a small ritual."

At that moment, big brother He Diqiang walked over.

His disciple beside him held a tray.

On it lay a brush and cinnabar.

Reba made the little lion blink its eyes and said, "What ritual? The little kids behind me are so cute too!"

A kindergarten kid said, "Dotting the eyes to consecrate the lion head! Don't you know that, auntie~"

Reba: "Wow, kid, you're so smart, but please call me big sister~"

Qin Feng laughed and said, "See? Even a kindergarten kid knows more than you."

He said to Reba, "Just stay here and don't move; I'll consecrate your head."

The viewers in the live stream were delighted.

-- 【So lion dancing is this widespread in Foshan, South Guangdong; even kids know it!】

-- 【South Guangdong, including Minnan and Minbei, preserves traditional culture very well; it's not just lion dancing, the 'God Processions' are held vibrantly every year too.】

-- 【What is 'dotting the eyes to consecrate'? The sense of ritual is maxed out!】

-- 【Lion dance troupes from other regions are already fully equipped; some lion designs look so strange~】

-- 【The main point is a hundred flowers blooming! Seek common ground while reserving differences! Each has its own charm!】

-- 【Another day of learning culture from a dating variety show V!】

Right now.

Reba's pink little lion and the kindergarten kids' little lions.

All waited to have their eyes dotted and be consecrated, then lead lion dance troupes from across the nation into the Lion Dance Arena!

He Diqiang said, "The children can personally experience the inheritance of culture; this starting point is excellent!" Then, more than a dozen little lions underwent a mini version of the 'dotting the eyes to consecrate' meaning.

Qin Feng said to Reba, "In a moment, wherever I dot, you move."

Reba replied, "Got it~"

Right now, only one thought was in her mind:

Another day spent with Qin Feng, magical to the point of unreality!

Thrilling!

Immediately...

The brush dipped in cinnabar, the cinnabar dots the lion's eyes!

He Diqiang and his disciples dotted the eyes for the children.

Qin Feng consecrated Reba!

The two recited the auspicious words of the eye-dotting ritual in turn:

"First dot the forehead: lucky stars shine high, the nation is prosperous and the people are at peace!"

"Second dot the eyes: eyes see in all six directions, a bright future stretches ten thousand li!"

"Third dot the mouth: a smile always on the lips, great luck and great profit!"

"Fourth dot the iron horns: iron bones and steel muscles, standing tall between heaven and earth!"

"Fifth dot the ear flaps: ears hear from all eight directions, success on all sides!"

"Sixth dot the head and tail: six sixes make smooth sailing, smooth from head to tail!"

Finally!

Qin Feng and He Diqiang spoke in unison!

"The ceremony is complete!"

-- 【I admit I received a billion points of shock from lion dance culture!】

-- 【This is just the start; we haven't even entered the Lion Dance Arena yet; there will definitely be a good show later!】

-- 【Why are you clapping? Just standing there?!】

-- 【With so many intangible cultural heritage lion dance traditions across the country, the Koreans won't know which one to steal~】

-- 【The Koreans have lion dance too, but they failed to paint a lion and ended up looking like dogs; they're ugly as hell! Can't even copy homework properly!】

-- 【The kindergarten little lions are so cute~ This theme of inheritance and hope gets a thumbs up!】

Boom~ Boom~ Boom!

Two groups of adorable little lions stood up.

Led by big friend Reba, they walked toward the Lion Dance Arena.

For the single-person little lions, the main thing is just making sure not to fall~

The kids lived up to expectations; they all walked quite lively.

Reba used up all her moves~

At least she managed to get through this long 50-meter path!

At the finish line, Reba let out a long breath: "Good thing I didn't mess up~ I'm a genius!"

The next second!

Qin Feng took the drumsticks from the lion dance drummer!

He shouted to the group of Foshan lion dance youths: "Ready~ Sing!"

Dong-chong dong dong qiang~

Accompanied by the drumbeats, cymbals, and gong.

The youths went straight into it:

"Pride faces ten thousand waves!"

"Passion like the red sun!"

"Courage forged like iron! Bones like refined steel!"

"Chests towering a hundred thousand feet—"

"Eyes stretching ten thousand li—"

"I strive hard to be a hero!"

"Be a true hero! Strengthen yourself every day!"

"Passionate young men! Brighter than the sun!"

The lion dance youths' chorus spirit was instantly maxed out!

Qin Feng now seemed more like the supporting leaf, using precise and deep drumbeats to set off these future flowers! No song.

It fits the spirit of lion dancing better than "A Man Should Be Self-Reliant."

And besides, if Qin Feng sang this song alone right now.

One can imagine, the scene would be awkward to the heavens!

Arranging for these lion dance youths to sing together, the spirit, vigor, and passion were instantly maxed out!

Moreover, as representatives of Foshan's awakening lion, fulfilling the "duties of the host."

Welcoming lion dance cultural troupes from all over Huaxia with a single song!

— 【Did Brother Feng write this song? So passionate! Listening to it, I feel like I could get into Tsinghua or Peking University!】

— 【So fiery! No regrets entering Huaxia in this life; in the next life, still planting in the Flower Family!】

— 【Having these passionate youths sing together, with Brother Feng beating the drums on the side, he really... makes me cry!】

— 【I'll forever love Brother Feng!】

— 【When the lion dance youths sing, there's no technique, just pure passion!】

At this very moment.
