Imshu's lion dance performances have a wide audience base. From the entrance ceremony of new students to the opening ceremony, to birthday celebrations for the elderly and 100th birthday banquets for children, there are always moments that require a sense of ceremony. Therefore, Ruishi Group always has a steady stream of customers.
Since joining the Rui Lion Troupe and becoming a "lion head", Ling Yang not only has to complete thrilling performances on the plum blossom piles, but also needs to customize a unique lion dance process for each customer, so as to satisfy every audience. Return.
Ling Yang likes to chat with guests. On the one hand, this is because only by deeply understanding the needs of guests can he design a more suitable lion dance. On the other hand, it is purely Ling Yang's personal preference. In his eyes, everyone's experience is a unique treasure that has not yet been discovered. He is willing to listen to their stories and even inquire more about them. Most people can't bear to let those big eyes full of curiosity and thirst for knowledge leave disappointed. During the back and forth conversation, the guests will also
Gradually reveal your truest inner thoughts. This kind of behavior sometimes makes guests wonder...whether they have come to the wrong place, or whether the Swiss Lion Group has developed other businesses. Could it be that what they are facing is some kind of "psychological counseling 'Lion'"?
Airtight schedules, overwhelming demands, customers who change their schedules at short notice... Ruishi Group is at the intersection of Jinshu people's lives. Conflicts and frictions are always unavoidable, and good things will be lost if you are not careful. Popularity. Taking good care of each customer's emotions, adjusting the schedule in a timely and reasonable manner, and skillfully handling these human relations are also the basis for the operation of Ruishi Group.
Therefore, negotiation skills to mediate with guests are essential for Ruishi Group, but for Ling Yang, this is another "coursework". Fortunately, Ling Yang has his own way of dealing with this, and the way he chooses to deal with this kind of trouble is to speak "auspicious words."
He greets you with a smile and speaks auspicious words. Even the most arrogant and unreasonable guest must show some courtesy for this. If you can make your guests happy, subsequent interactions will be more effective. Over time, the "Handbook of Auspicious Words" written by Ling Yang has gradually become one of the must-read books for other members of the Swiss Lion Troupe, and "speaking auspicious words to everyone" has gradually become a symbol of the Swiss Lion Troupe.
"If you speak with auspicious words, you must be from the Ruishi Group! Please come quickly!"
Of course, Ling Yang didn't want his true nature to be wiped out by sophistication and favors. At least in his opinion, sincerity and understanding were more valuable things. An auspicious sentence that seemed like a template process had been carefully considered thousands of times in Ling Yang's mind before he said it. What came out of his mouth must be the blessing that Ling Yang thought was most suitable for the person in front of him.
What's more, Ling Yang believed from the bottom of his heart that the so-called "auspicious words" could really bring good luck to others.
So, if you happen to meet this lion head who is full of "auspicious words" in Jinzhou City, please don't be afraid or doubtful about it, just accept his pure and sincere blessings - this is The best response to a pure heart.
Speaking of the fate between Ling Yang and the Swiss Lion Troupe, we have to go back to that day - one day, the lion dance performance at Jinshu Theater was over, and when the staff was packing up the props in the dark, a strange-looking young man fell from the roof. Come down... a more accurate word than "fall" would be "smash".
This was a planned accident. The premeditated part was that Ling Yang was determined to deal with the Ruishi Group. The unexpected thing was that he didn't realize that human roofs are much smoother than trees after rain.
So, Ling Yang, who was not yet proficient in human language...well, Ling Yang didn't have a name at that time. For a long time, he was called "little guy" by the members of the Ruishi Group.
In short, the "little guy" who is not yet proficient in human language, after finding that communication with everyone was fruitless, he moved a lion head from nowhere and clumsily started the lion dance he learned from nowhere in front of everyone. .
Whenever the members of the Rui Lion Troupe later recalled that performance, everyone invariably rubbed the back of their heads: "Rather than saying it was a lion dance, it would be better to describe it as 'baring teeth and dancing claws'..."
Fortunately, Ling Yang's intention to stay was still conveyed, but his strange appearance also caused the members of the Ruishi Group to have a heated discussion about this.
The one who made the final decision to take Ling Yang in was the oldest gentleman in the Swiss Lion Club. Nowadays, the two gentlemen in charge of the Swiss Lion Club, "Fifang" and "Seven Stars", are respectfully addressed as "Master".
Ling Yang had tried to ask his master more than once about the reason for taking him in, but all he got were ambiguous answers:
"Haha, maybe it's because your ears and tail are very similar to the legendary 'Auspicious Lion'."
Occasionally, Ling Yang would hear some murmurs from his master during his lunch break: "'Big Lion'... I made my promise to you... I have fulfilled it..."
Under the guidance of this master, Ling Bu officially began his own practice: lion dancing, calligraphy, and how to deal with people.
In order to help Ling Yang control the rampaging brutal force in his body, the master also taught Ling Yang a set of ancient steps passed down from the ancient times of Xun Long. It is said that it has the magical effect of assisting in regulating the energy circulation of the human body. This set of steps is also one of the basic skills of lion dance. After getting started, Ling Yang officially became a "Lion Head".
In Jinzhou, the word "lion head" has many meanings. For ordinary people, the word "lion head" can refer to the "lion head" used in lion dance, and can also be used to refer to the person who plays the "lion head" on stage. For lion dancers, this word points to the common ideal of all lion dancers - practice hard, keep improving, and wait until one day to surpass the world in skill, become famous all over the world, and become a true "Lion Dancer". head".
"My strength is innate, and I have honed a lot of hunting skills in the wild. But it turns out that lion dance requires not only strength, but also body shape, pace, rhythm, and cooperation with teammates... This is not You can learn it overnight. The master always said that the lion dance is of great significance to the people of Kinshu. I am also worried that the expectations of the audience will be disappointed. In order to live up to the name of "Lion Head", I must work harder. OK."
In the eyes of Master, Ling Yang is full of spirituality, but more importantly, is his never-ending desire for progress.
Once the movement is learned, it is repeated in cycles, and as soon as the practice begins, the stars and the moon are shining.
On the plum blossom pile on the Zhongqu platform, Ling Yang would often look at the reflection in the water, seeming to be thinking and competing with himself.
The peach blossoms rustled down, and the young lion's head walked on the flowers on the pile formation, dancing enthusiastically. This has also become a unique scenery in Zhongqu Terrace.
Speaking of the Zhongqu Terrace, we have to mention the training that the Rui Shi Troupe must go through every winter.
Every winter is the off-performance season for the Swiss Lion Troupe. The Swiss Lion Troupe will collectively go to the Chinese Opera Platform and the martial arts field in Taoyuan Township to practice in retreat to prepare for the New Year's "tour": the "Lion Head" is from Jinzhou University Starting from the stage of the theater, walking through the streets and alleys to express blessings - this is called "touring the New Year". It means saying goodbye to the past year and welcoming the new year. It is one of the most grand events in Jinzhou every year.
Therefore, even in the off season, everyone in the Ruise Lions Troupe is not as relaxed as most people imagine. They all need to make good use of this time to polish their character, improve their skills, make props, and rehearse new plays... However, now that they have left the city and gone to the wild, it is Ling Yang's world.
The lively nature makes Ling Yang unable to take a break even in winter - the same goes for the ferocious beasts in the mountains. Whenever snow and fog fill the air, dormant beasts begin to move again.
The low roars of alien beasts, the feeble calls for help... Even if they are far apart, as long as Ling Yang's keen ears hear them, he will never sit idly by. Ling Yang would look for gaps where his brothers were distracted or resting in rehearsals, sneak into the forest to look for the target, and finally jump down from the high cliff, using the most barbaric and primitive hunting methods, landing as swiftly as wind and thunder. Tear your enemies apart.
Although the rescued passers-by would politely thank Ling Yang, their faces often showed fear that never faded away.
"Is it because I just escaped from the battle and am still afraid...or is it because I am afraid that I will not be able to control my power and tear them apart together?"
After experiencing such things many times, Ling Yang began to realize and reflect on the differences between himself and humans: When his sharp teeth are exposed and his claws pierce the enemy's heart, what is the difference between himself and those beasts?
Can humans... really accept this side of themselves?
Perhaps, even with good intentions, he should use some methods that are more acceptable to humans?
...So, I don't know when, a strange story gradually emerged in Jinzhou City: every winter, as long as you shout for help in the Zhongqu Terrace area, you will see a strange creature wearing a lion's head, rushing towards the mountain at full speed from the forest. The weird scene you came to.
After confirming that this "monster" was not malicious to humans, people gradually turned from fear to curiosity...until finally, they regarded it as the guardian mountain god of travelers passing by in winter.
But these are all things for later. Compared to this, perhaps Ling Yang should first pay attention to the mood of his master: whenever it comes time for Ling Yang to rehearse with him, this person has been found in the martial arts arena more than once.
Once this happens, the master's roar will be heard in the empty valley, startling a forest of birds, like a lion roaring, overwhelming the beasts:
"Ling Yang——! Where did this kid go to be lazy again?"
"What was the land at the end of Yulong originally like?" Even the most experienced researchers cannot give an answer to this question.
Only storytellers who tell stories can tell people that it was once surrounded by forests, where all things grew, the trees were towering, and there were prototypes of the auspicious beasts most worshiped by the people.
But then the mournful screams came, and the place had already become a soundless zone of complete silence, stretches of frozen soil, and no life.
At least, it has been like this since Ling Yang can remember.
Ling Yang couldn't remember the day when he suddenly had memories, but he didn't know anything about what happened before. He couldn't remember when he was born, where he came from, and he couldn't remember himself. Where to go. At that time, Lingyang had been living alone in the wild for a long time because his hometown was destroyed, living like hair and drinking blood, and his life was precarious. Ling Yang originally thought that his fate would still be like that of all beasts, driven by the instinct of survival, spending his life aimlessly, gradually dying in loneliness, cold, and wilderness... Until that day, with a group of Expeditionary human armies meet.
By chance, Ling Yang, who was hunting in the forest, came into contact with this group of strange upright animals.
Ling Yang cautiously followed these human armies, observing their every move.
Even when faced with an enemy ten times stronger than himself, he never ran away in fear.
Even if he is already bleeding, he will protect his injured teammates behind him.
Even if he is already hungry and cold, he will distribute the living supplies to others who need them more.
In Ling Yang's eyes, these upright-walking creatures were too strange, always doing things he couldn't understand.
But... I don't know when, these actions ignited a small fire in Ling Yang's heart, helping him dispel some fear and coldness.
At that time, Ling Yang couldn't understand why those figures were still firmly imprinted in his mind after countless spring, summer, autumn and winter. Ling Yang also couldn't understand why he followed the path. The breath and footprints of that group of strange creatures traveled slowly all the way to the unfamiliar distant place - Jinzhou City.
At that time, Ling Yang stood timidly on the cliff, looking at the lively habitat of strange creatures from a distance. Suddenly, a huge sound of gongs and drums suddenly sounded, impacting Ling Yang's ears. Ling Yang instinctively thought it was an explosion, but he saw the group of strange upright animals gathering more and more at the city gate.
A dance full of noise, light, excitement and prosperity, constantly reflected in his eyes. At that moment, Ling Yang was finally able to determine what kind of thing he had been looking for all along.
On top of the unfamiliar giant lion head dancing, Ling Yang felt a sense of familiarity that seemed to come from blood.
Somewhere somewhere, something responded to his fate.
Although after this, the young man will make great efforts and even pain for what he has been seeking for a long time... But at this moment, he has already realized it.
Since joining the Rui Shi Group, Ling Yang has always treated others with fire-like enthusiasm, longing to be the flame that dispels everyone's fear in the dark night... But it was not until later that Ling Yang realized that he resonated with her. Strength is actually closely related to the cold ice.
"In the dark night, severe cold will only make a person more desperate. I have experienced that kind of thing too many times. Ice... is not something that can help others dispel fear."
With this thought in mind, the young man walked to the very familiar plum blossom pile field again and started practicing by himself, as if he was venting something.
The master didn't know when he appeared next to him, and guided the young man to talk about his feelings.
"Haha, so that's it... By the way, little guy, you don't have a name yet, do you?"
"...name? What does that mean?"
"Generally speaking, a name contains the parents' expectations and wishes for a person. A person's destiny may be implicit in his name... Of course, it may also be the opposite. To become a person just like the name, Whether it goes against this wish or not, it ultimately depends on the person’s own choice.”
"Since you don't remember what happened before, you won't be able to find your parents for a while. It's up to you to decide this matter. Little guy, what kind of person do you want to be in the future?"
"What kind of...person?"
"Let me change the question, what do you want to do most now?"
"Then, I want to climb the tallest plum blossom pile in the world! A plum blossom pile higher than the sun!"
"But the closer you get to the sun, the more likely it is to be melted by the sun's heat, right?"
"Well... I'm not afraid. I want to bring happiness and peace to everyone, and become a person who can bring warmth and courage to everyone. I want to use this thing to prove my courage... If the sun will melt me , then I will become hotter than the sun!”
"Hahahaha! Okay!... Your name will be 'Ling Yang'."
"Having a name means that from now on, you are an independent individual with a name and a surname. Just treat this day as your birthday."
"Birthday? What is that?"
"Birthdays are probably a day that humans use to remind themselves of the passage of time and the brevity of life, and to remind themselves whether they have wasted their years... But more importantly, every minute and every second we come to this world is worth it. Let’s spend the day celebrating.”
"So……"
"Happy birthday, Ling Yang!"
The fellow apprentices suddenly appeared beside him, shouting the word "Ling Yang" one after another.
"Ling... Yang..."
Ling Yang silently thought about this, the most precious gift in his life so far. He kept repeating it in a low voice, as if he was speculating on the deep meaning of the name, but also as if he was afraid, as if if he didn't hold it tightly, he would unintentionally forget it. Or maybe, he was secretly making up his mind - he must not Live up to this name and will definitely protect everyone.
One day, he will break through the ice, transcend the sun... and become a more passionate existence than that.
