Chapter 112 The Lion's Righteousness
The densely packed crowd was silent for a while, and there was an uproar after reacting.

Fortunately, tourists from other places say that they are purely happy to see the ending of the lottery, which is the same as chasing the text to the end of the book.

However, the villagers in Yangxin Valley are very different. They look passionate, and all of them flushed with excitement and cheered endlessly.

Shi Duanmin was very dazed, she tugged at her mother Ye Ting's hand in doubt, "Mom, what happened? Isn't sister Wan caught a lion? Why did the uncles, aunts and aunts in these villages suddenly become so angry? Excited?"

Shi Duanmin is really hard to understand.

These days, she spends time with Su Xiaolan almost every day, and she is used to standing next to a cloth tiger with a big mouth and a silly smile from time to time.In her heart, this is not a beast at all, but a bigger cat.

The lion Su Wan caught by lottery is usually mentioned side by side with the tiger, one is the overlord of the grassland, and the other is the king of the forest.Shi Duanmin subconsciously felt that it was almost a kind of big cat, but the appearance was different.

Naturally, Ye Ting couldn't answer, looking at the child's curious eyes, she felt awkward and dazed for a moment.

She smiled apologetically, and casually tucked the broken hair on her daughter's face behind her ears, "Mom doesn't know too well, let's ask your elder sister."

Their mother and daughter have been renting in the east wing of Su Jing's house. When they met each other in the past, Shi Duanmin always called Su Jing her sister.

The two bypassed the crowd and walked towards Su Jing, and soon squeezed to Su Jing who was full of smiles.

"Sister Jing," Shi Duanmin tugged at the corner of Su Jing's clothes, and asked his own question in doubt.

Su Qing was taken aback.

Every time she heard Shi Duanmin call her that, Su Qing felt very uncomfortable.

Shi Duanmin called Su Wu and Su Hai, who were younger than her, Uncle Wu and Uncle Hai respectively, but called her Sister Jing, which should be happy for a woman.However, Su Wu and Su Hai also called her sister carelessly in person, which made Su Jing more embarrassed.

Every time Shi Duanmin spoke like this, if Su Wu or Su Hai next to her heard it, they would all come over and wink at her in unison.Every time Su Jing has the urge to kill someone.

Fortunately, both Su Wu and Su Hai were very busy at the moment, and they were not around her at this time, so Su Qing couldn't help but laughed happily.

Yangxin Valley has beautiful mountains, clear waters, outstanding people and a pleasant climate. Almost every girl has a good appearance.Su Qing is no exception.

She smiled happily, her beautiful face blooming like a flower.

The eyes of some tourists next to her brightened, and they couldn't help but take a few steps closer to hear what she was saying.

"Why are the villagers happy? Because of the lion..." Su Jing blinked her big beautiful eyes, and said slowly, "He has a unique status here."

"What's the status of a lion?" Someone looked at the various animals in the courtyard and couldn't help but make a sound.

Su Jing is not shy either.

Facing the puzzled eyes of Shi Duanmin's mother and daughter and the tourists next to her, she said openly, "The status of the lion, how should I put it. Let me give you an obvious example."

She thought for a while and said, "For example, people in the world usually mention lions and tigers side by side, but have you thought about one thing carefully?"

"What's the matter?" Shi Duanmin raised his head and asked curiously at the first moment.

Su Jing giggled, raised her hand and pinched her delicate little nose mischievously.

"Everyone knows that there are dragon and lion dances during the Chinese New Year and even in the usual lively times. This is not only the case for domestic and overseas Chinese. But have you ever heard of the phoenix and tiger dance?"

Shi Duanmin's mother and daughter looked at each other thoughtfully, and shook their heads in astonishment like other tourists.

They hadn't really heard of the latter.

"I've rarely heard of it, right?" Su Jing nodded unsurprisingly: "Therefore, it would be a lie to say that lions and dragons have the same status in traditional culture, but if it is said that lions are actually similar to dragons in some aspects It is acceptable for a dragon to have a similar status. At least it is not comparable to a tiger."

"It's just that dragons usually represent the high royal power, while lions are more close to the people. For example..."

Su Jing pointed at the Yuanyue Gate from the west wing to the main courtyard, "Before you enter this ancestral hall, you should have seen two lions standing outside our ancestral hall."

She said with a smile: "In addition, there are many lion cultures. For example, the lion dance is celebrated when good things happen, the lion dance is awakened during the New Year, the lion dance is used for fitness competitions, the filial lion is danced for mourning and mourning, and even the lions are happy (washed) when the daughter-in-law is getting started. ..."

A tourist couldn't help interjecting, "It sounds the same as the suona in the Central Plains. You can dance from birth to the first seven."

Su Jing glanced at the man with a smile and nodded in agreement.

"The dragon is our national totem, but it is too ethereal, and no one has ever seen it. The lion is different, at least it can be seen in reality. It is a great omen for the villagers to catch a lion every night, so That’s why we are so happy, it’s no exaggeration to say that our hearts are full of joy.”

A group of people suddenly realized.

Only Shi Duanmin blinked her doubtful eyes, she murmured: "But an uncle who performed a lion dance in the village told me that no matter what kind of lion dance is performed, it actually wakes up the lion."

Su Jing was slightly taken aback, nodded and smiled, "He's right, but it's more accurate to say that all lions except filial piety lions can be called awakening lions."

"The filial lion has its sad eyes half down, while the awakening lion is full of energy and widened its eyes. The filial lion and the awakening lion are collectively called Ruishi."

Speaking of this, Su Jing spread her hands, "It's just that in modern society, there are not many people who are virtuous enough to be able to bear the filial lion when they die. Over time, most people think that there are only awakening lions among the auspicious lions."

"Ruishi?" Someone sensitively caught this new word.

Su Jing nodded, "Yes, Ruishi!"

She explained: "In traditional culture, lions are a kind of guardian beasts, so they are also called auspicious lions. However, some things happened later, and the Chinese stopped calling them auspicious lions, and called them awakening lions instead."

Now everyone became interested and gathered around Su Qing to ask what happened.

Su Wan caught a lion by drawing lots, which is a great thing.After Su Jing came back to her senses, she wanted to happily tell her grandmother, who is also the clan wife of Yangxin Valley, to make her happy too.

However, surrounded by people at this time, it seemed that they would not let her go until she finished explaining, so Su Qing had no choice but to continue talking.

"Rui, the dialect pronunciation is similar to the word sleep." Speaking of this, Su Jing's tone became a little darker.

"Modern China has been dormant for a hundred years, being bullied wantonly by barbarians from all directions, and the people of the country are in dire straits."

"Didn't a president of France (harmony) say such a sentence? When this sleeping lion wakes up, the whole world will tremble."

"Later, the people of the country gritted their teeth and changed the auspicious (sleeping) lion into an awakening lion. When we raised the lion's head, it reminded us that we must keep our eyes wide open and stay awake, and we must never fall asleep again."
