According to Fuyong Town Chronicles, the custom of lion dance in Fuyong has a long history, dating back to the Jiaqing period of the Qing Dynasty (1796-1820). At that time, Fuyong was located in the Pearl River Delta and close to the Pearl River Estuary, with rich products and many merchants. Some fishermen made lions out of bamboo, wood, cloth or paper, beat gongs and drums, and danced to celebrate the harvest and pray for safe sea voyages. As a result, lion dance activities gradually became popular as a festive and blessing activity. Among them, the lion dance teams of the five villages of Qiaotou, Tangwei, Fuyong, Huaide and Baishixia in Fuyong are the best. After the reform and opening up, with the development of the economy, in order to popularize the traditional sport of lion dance, the village committee team attached great importance to lion dance, allocated special funds and provided training venues. Since 1993, the government has organized them to participate in the Lantern Festival lion dance performances and competitions, and 14 sessions have been successfully held so far. Lion dance activities have become a tradition and brand of Fuyong. Among them, the lion dance teams of Qiaotou and Tangwei are the most famous. The lion dance in Fuyong is basically made by local respected old artists. According to traditional customs, a solemn ceremony called "opening the eyes" must be held for the first dance of a new lion. In addition to preparing some costumes, props, and musical instruments before the lion dance performance, you must first choose an open space to burn incense and worship the gods to give the lion spirit. Fuyong lion dance usually starts with drums, and the accompaniment music is mainly percussion music, basically including big drums, large and small gongs, large and small cymbals, etc. The drum is the bugle, and different rhythms are arranged to guide different lion dance movements. The basic steps of lion dance focus on horse steps, mostly four-square horses, the lion head and the lion tail are coordinated, the lion's movements are coordinated with the rhythm of the drum music, the drum music has a clear beat, and the lightness and heaviness are orderly, which is closely linked with the lion dance movements, complementing each other and setting off each other. The Fuyong Lion Dance has the following characteristics during the performance: First, in addition to closing its eyes to express its form (joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness), the Fuyong Lion Dance also makes full use of the opening and closing of its mouth to express the lion's joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness. At the same time, it uses its breathing to show the diversity of its form, and uses trembling to express the situation when the lion is angry, which is completely different from the surrounding lion dances. Second, the Fuyong Lion Dance is usually designed with plum blossom piles, with a span of "three mountains and five peaks". During the performance, the lion head is supported on the lion tail and the shoulders are quickly crossed together, fully demonstrating its profound and exquisite skills and the difficulty of the movements. The performance value of the Fuyong Lion Dance: First, the historical value: The Fuyong Lion Dance has a history of hundreds of years and is the inheritance and sustenance of the spiritual beliefs of the local villagers. This has a certain reference value for studying the folk customs and folk customs of the local villagers in Fuyong. Second, the artistic value: The production of the lion head, lion body, and lion tail of the lion dance, the patterns are rich in traditional arts and crafts characteristics, and have a high artistic appreciation value. Third, social value: the lion dance has a broad mass base in Fuyong Street. Local people, Hong Kong and Macao compatriots, and overseas Chinese also like to watch it. Performing in major programs and celebrations has a certain effect on enhancing folklore connotations, strengthening exchanges, and promoting local economic development. Fourth, fitness value: the lion dance performance includes crouching, lying, leaping, jumping, and jumping. Long-term training is beneficial to health. Under the careful guidance of Fuyong lion dance performance masters Lin Ruwang and Ma Cong, Fuyong's lion dance inherits and develops the high, sharp, exquisite, and new movements of the original lion dance, and has the lion dance performance skills with Fuyong characteristics. As the age of the old artists of the Fuyong lion dance team gradually increases, some have passed away, and many exquisite techniques are facing the loss of inheritance. The instability of leadership is also an important factor restricting the inheritance of lion dance art. Therefore, we must protect the lion dance and ensure that there are good training venues and sufficient funding. I believe that in the near future, Fuyong's lion dance will surely move towards greater glory.
