Walking into Juqian Village, Rudong Town, Yangjiang, Guangdong, the joyful sound of beating gongs and drums can be heard from afar. In the small square, a martial arts lion dance team composed of a group of energetic teenagers was training. Under the careful guidance of the trainer, they danced with the lion's head and tail accompanied by drumbeats alternating between rousing and soothing and carried out difficult movements such as prancing, dodging, pouncing, etc. They showed the lion’s mighty fortitude and vividly interpreted the state of the lion. #artandculture

走进广东阳江儒洞镇驹龙村委会驹前村，远远便传来了敲锣打鼓的欢乐声。在小广场上，一帮气血方刚的少年郎组成的驹前村同武堂武术舞狮队正在训练。他们在教练员的细心指导下，舞动着狮头狮尾，伴着时而激昂时而舒缓的鼓点声，进行腾、挪、闪、扑、回旋等高难度动作，尽显狮子的威武刚毅，生动地演绎了狮子的“八态”。
