Text: Every Chinese New Year, Guanghua Village in Foshan, Guangdong Province will stage a unique "human dragon dance" to pray for good weather and good luck in the New Year. Lin Huixuan, 75 years old this year, is the inheritor of this traditional art, he leads his son, granddaughter and a group of apprentices to dance the nearly 30-meter-long "human dragon", and the traditional culture is endlessly danced.
The beauty of the human dragon: a clever blend of tradition and modernity.
The "human dragon" is composed of the lower part of the "dragon body" and the upper "dragon body", forming an almost real dragon shape. This art requires dancers to skillfully integrate their martial arts skills, and their horse steps are steady and tacit. Lin Huixuan explained: "We are all dragons made of people, so we danced and were loved by the audience. ”
The responsibility of tradition: Lin Huixuan's persistence.
Lin Huixuan began to learn the basic skills of martial arts and human dragon dance at the age of seven, and is now the leader of this human dragon dance team. He emphasized: "The human dragon dance is a cultural heritage created by our ancestors, and it must be passed down from generation to generation, and we hope that there will be successors." Every weekend, he returns to his hometown from Hong Kong to personally guide the players in training.
Family legacy: Father and son dance hand in hand.
Lin Huixuan's son, Lin Kangfa, has been learning human dragon dance since he was a child, and now he has become the backbone of the team. He is in charge of the "dragon head" position, pushing the difficulty of art to the extreme. Lin Kangfa said: "The human dragon dance is the symbol of this village, and it is necessary to cooperate with each other and perform together to represent the power of unity. ”
The responsibility of the younger generation: traditional culture blooms in the hands of children.
Lin Kangfa's daughter Lin Zhiqing also became a member of the team, taking the "dragon head" position, showing amazing acting skills. Her father expressed concern and expectations for her, but at the same time hoped that she would persevere. This family-style inheritance makes the whole dragon dance team full of family affection and responsibility.
The hard work: martial arts, horse walking, mutual trust.
"Human Dragon Dance" requires the team members to have a certain martial arts foundation, maintain a steady horse step, and also need mutual trust and tacit understanding. Every weekend night, they would come to Guanghua Village for nearly 3 hours of training. Lin Kangfa said: "Only by cooperating with each other and with one heart can we show the power of unity." ”
The vitality of a century-old tradition: the continuation of the nostalgic years.
This dragon dance team brings together people of different ages, seniors in their 70s and children under the age of 10 to put on a wonderful show. There are already more than 100 apprentices in the team of Renlong Dance, who pass on the responsibility of this traditional culture. In this perfect fusion of tradition and modernity, the "human dragon dance", the nostalgia years have been continued.
Ending: The nostalgia of the years, the cultural inheritance in the dance.
In the winter night, rain or shine, it is not only the members of the human dragon dancers, but also the neighbors who rush back from all over the world to cheer. In the lion dance and dragon dance, the flavor of the New Year was gradually awakened, and in the sound of gongs and drums, it ushered in the moment of reunion. This human dragon dance is not only a performance, but also the extension of nostalgia, and a warm picture of a century-old tradition coming to life in the hands of the younger generation.
