Chapter 307

Qin Feng and Reba stood behind the scenes.

He almost laughed at He Diqiang's final sentence.

Reba: "A little awkward, but it fits the current atmosphere perfectly."

Qin Feng nodded: "That's exactly the effect we wanted."

To be honest.

Big Brother He has tried very hard to make his Mandarin more standard~

The viewers in the live stream are extremely excited!

--【Just arrived in the live stream, what happened? Scrolling Douyin on the subway, all the recommendations are about various schools of lion dance culture!】

--【When does it start? I can't wait~】

--【Brother Feng's live stream changes style every single day! Never the same twice!】

Standing on the main stage, He Diqiang continued:

"Today, everyone has traveled from Tiannanhaibei. Since lion dance forms vary by region, we gather here for exchange, not competition."

"It is a great honor to showcase the diverse lion dance cultures of Huaxia on the Foshan Xingshi stage!"

Just as Big Brother He said.

Huaxia lion dance differs between north and south.

The Southern school emphasizes the Xingshi lion's appearance, often using plum blossom piles as the stage.

The Northern school focuses on footwork and form; especially among ethnic minority lion dances, they are largely tied to sacrificial customs and traditions.

With such different styles, they naturally cannot compete on the same stage.

Reba whispered: "Qin Feng, so this isn't a competition?"

Qin Feng replied: "The differences between the North and South schools are huge. Take the Xianghuo Lion of Xinfeng, Ganpo, for instance; the whole body emits smoke and fire. How could you not burn your opponents to a crisp?" Pfft...?

Reba couldn't hold back her laughter.

She continued: "I get it~ It's all about lion dance cultural exchange!"

Qin Feng shook his head: "It's a showcase."

Reba nodded thoughtfully.

Among the many lion dance cultures of Huaxia, the one with the most famous reputation is undoubtedly the Foshan Xingshi!

But other, more niche lion dance cultures.

Remain unknown to the public.

Perhaps many lion dance troupes have never received such attention before.

Not everyone knows how to master internet popularity.

From start to finish, Qin Feng was more like a provider of opportunity, giving lion dance cultures from every ethnic group and region a stage to showcase themselves!

From morning until now.

The song "A Man Should Strengthen Himself" was sung in chorus by the lion dance youths, while Qin Feng beat the drum to accompany them from below the stage!

The opening speech was delivered by Big Brother He, the inheritor of the Foshan Xingshi Intangible Cultural Heritage, while Qin Feng and Reba stood behind the scenes.

Thinking it over carefully, Reba suddenly realized!

She tugged at Qin Feng's coat hem: "Qin Feng, did you know? Your image in my heart has suddenly become much taller!"

Qin Feng countered: "How tall?"

Reba thought for a moment and answered: "As tall as Ultraman!"

Qin Feng shook his head: "Use some Eastern adjectives."

Reba: "Pangu! Pufu! Xing Tian! Kuafu!"

Qin Feng was shocked!

He smiled and said: "I didn't expect you to know so much."

Reba smiled proudly: "If I didn't study hard, I couldn't keep up with your words! I'm getting smarter and smarter~"

Qin Feng nodded: "Ah yes yes yes, you are a big genius."

Just as the young couple was chatting.

On the other side, lion dance troupes from various regions had already begun to display their signature skills!

Focusing on a showcase of style.

Cameraman Brother Nie first filmed the 【Xiaoxiang Lion Dance】 from Gongyi, Jizhou!

Reba watched from the side, her chin almost dropping to the ground!

"Qin Feng! The lion dance of Jizhou actually involves climbing ropes to reach the high platform!"

In the lion dance arena shown on camera.

On a high platform about 20 meters tall! From top to bottom, two thick ropes, spaced two feet apart, were tied down!

Qin Feng said: "This is called the 'Double Rope Frame'. The lion climbs up along the ropes; the difficulty is extremely high."

The Jizhou lion dance team must use the rope's elasticity and also maintain balance on the ropes!

It is like a majestic lion climbing a rope to the heavens!

Looking at the other lion dance troupes in the arena.

On this side is the Tiannanhaibei Knife Mountain Lion of Bagui, bravely climbing the knife mountain!!

On that side is the Xianghuo Lion of Xinfeng, Ganpo, rushing into a sea of fire!!

Above is the Tian Ta Lion of Xiangfen, Jinyang, ascending to great heights!!

Below is the Qing Lion of Jieyang, Southern Yue, stepping on the Seven Stars!!

The busiest person in the entire venue must be the cameraman; luckily, he occupied a good vantage point, so the filming effect is excellent!

The live stream viewers were dazzled, exclaiming in awe:

--【It's unimaginable! To perform the lion dance to such a level requires years of arduous practice!】

--【That lion climbing the rope to the high platform shocked me! Let alone performing the lion dance, just climbing up would make me tremble in fear!】

--【The origins of lion dances across various regions are almost all tied to the unyielding spirit of national resistance, so this is a high-difficulty challenge! Afraid? Then you've already lost!

--【Are they dancing a lion? No! It's a nation, the resilient soul of fifty-six ethnic groups facing difficulties head-on!】

--【Well said! Everyone in the live stream is talented; I absolutely love it here~】

Reba, eyes wide with wonder, craned her neck to watch the lion dance arena.

Finally, she found one that didn't seem too difficult!

She said excitedly, "Qin Feng! That cute big lion looks so simple! I could do that too!"

Qin Feng shrugged his small hands: "If you try, you probably really can't."

Reba: "Then what kind of lion is that?"

Qin Feng: "The Shenqiu Huai Shop Literary Lion. It focuses on being 'literary' rather than 'martial,' so it just looks simpler."

A red-and-blue bright-colored one-horned lion, looking somewhat lazy, played with the embroidered ball.

Although it looked undemanding.

The lion dancer still needed to embody the lion's emotions, demeanor, and even its expressions!

Even though at first glance it didn't require climbing mountains of blades, crossing seas of fire, scaling high platforms, or stepping on plum blossom piles—those hard skills—the lion's every gesture and movement naturally came alive. That truly wasn't "I could do that too."

Inside the director's office of the National Museum.

Han Chunfa, the director, had been sitting in front of the computer for half an hour.

He hadn't moved at all!

Staff A: "What's wrong with the director? He's been petrified for half an hour. Could it be he didn't rest well after working overtime?"

Staff B: "He's watching the live stream!"

Staff C: "The director watching a live stream? That's impossible! He uses a Nokia 1110 himself; if he keeps using it for a few more years, that phone will become an antique, fit for museum exhibition!"

Staff D: "Qin Feng, the one trading porcelain with the National Museum, is live streaming. Lion dance troupes from all over the country have gathered. I'm a minor employee at the Intangible Cultural Heritage Research Institute, and our director has been petrified for half an hour too."

Staff A: "Is that Qin Feng you're talking about Medusa? Turning people to stone every time she moves?"

Han Chunfa finally moved!

He picked up the phone and called the director of the Intangible Cultural Heritage Institute.

The gist of their exchange summed up to one sentence: "In the future, if Qin Feng organizes this kind of activity, we must give it strong support!"

An event gathering lions from across Huaxia.

It spanned over two hours.

As it neared its conclusion.
