Kirin is also known as Shuilin, and Haifeng is called Qilian, which is a legendary Swedish beast of Hailufeng people. Collecting a dragon head, deer body, horse's hoof, oxtail, wolf forehead, wearing colourful scale armour, can be used to excrete people. Therefore, these festivals have the custom of dancing unicorn for the purpose of exorcism, chasing, cleaning the community and so on.

Kirin is mainly coloured in green, and green and white horns belong to the emperors of Kirin, who use a grand field; gold is used in general occasions. According to the law, there is only one unicorn in the martial arts association and the martial arts hall, and there is only one pair. But in festive venues, Kirin can be used a lot.

Hong Kong, Hainan, lu-feng/ Hok Lao people celebrate the festival or celebrate the birthday by dancing unicorn. Hailufeng Qilin has a big face and a crane. The teeth are majestic in shape, the one-angle on the top of the head is particularly tall, bent and prominent, and the forehead is decorated with gossip, which is used as exorcising evil spirits. The dancing unicorn is about 20 feet and weighs more than 10 jin. Kirin dance means to ensure that the world is in a good manner and a safe country, especially in Hong Kong's Cheung Chau community. Changzhou Ruilin dance is mainly performed by the Hainan Lufeng Kirin team, usually danced by men; during the dance beat, she performs the lust and movements of Ruilin's joy, anger and sorrow. Generally, there are two types of Ruilin dances: "single performance" and "joint performance": "greening", "panmen" and "jumping" performed by Hailufeng Kirin respectively or jointly; and "joint performance" is usually performed jointly by Hainan Lufeng Kirin and other Swedish beasts to highlight the majesty of the king of Ruilin.

Monoceroun production and lighting

Kirin is mainly made by the local Haifeng collection of masters. The completed collectable Kirin will be taken back to the martial arts hall for purification, introduced by the ancestors, and the Taoist ritual will be used to open up. Kirin's head will be pasted with charm paper, needles, grains, cypresses, etc., with gossip and eight treasure maps on the head, as well as fan, swords, gourds, crutches, flower basketball and other Eight Immortal handhelds.

Basic skills :

To learn dance, Kirin first needs to learn music, that is, Kirin music. If you don't understand the whole set of music, you can't replace it. In the past, it was necessary to study and insert sand in March, but now young teachers are not required to learn first.

Crane dances unicorns with the same unique routine as boxing, dancing unicorn people and unicorns. The rhythm of musicians needs to be matched. Dance Kirin will use different music to match specific movements, such as "unicorn". Zi's action work (i.e. returning Kirin's tail and making a twisted knee action) is accompanied by the "three treasure strings"; Kirin usually plays "sell groceries" when walking on the road; and "Eight Strings", Ford Ci, Double Voices, etc.

Art of Performance :

According to the law, the martial arts association and martial arts hall often only open one unicorn, and rarely see a couple. But in the festive venue, under the promise of human and material resources, Kirin can be used a lot. Ruilin dance can be "table performance" and popular "square performance". Ruilin dancers should master Kirin's "shaped, divine, dynamic, quiet, happy, angry, sad, happy" and interpret his careful expression through familiar skills.

Dance unicorn process :

Kirin needs to make a light metre before he can dance. The lighting metre is selected in the early morning, and the evil spirits are the most at night. Lighting involves the communication of people and gods, so the opening time and time need to be asked in the form of a question cup.

The Kirin team must go to incense first, and then go to incense before they start dancing Kirin. Kirin's location is in front of the drum cart. Kirin's master is incense to the incense burner of the teacher and the parents of heaven and earth. Kirin has no place to incense, so it smells on the incense burner of the drum cart. When dancing unicorn, the fragrance is not broken, and it is used to continue the "dishness". Stoping incense means that the teacher has left, and the dance unicorn is also finished. When dancing unicorn, you can flow rice, and also "smear grass water", especially when unicorn comes out of the countryside. The flowing rice represents the expulsion, and then the unicorn cleans the place.

Crane Kirin usually travels first, and then performs a lion parade for about 10 to 20 minutes. Kirin's step when entering the door is to explore the road, because when an animal goes to a high and unfamiliar place, it will appear more cautious before entering. There is a cage at the door. The animal does not want to be tricked into the cage, so he needs to look at the door first. Therefore, Kirin's athletes who dance should imitate the animal's divinity and look on both sides of the door, and right at the door, and some, like people arrive. Knock on the door in front of the house, a ritual; worship the Bodhisattva three times after entering the temple, meaning to wait, leaving backward, without having a tail on the bodhisattva until you leave the door. After the dance unicorn is over, you will eat dumplings and start eating salamanders. Cabbage. Tangyuan is boiled with yellow sugar and mixed with rice flour to make a seedless dumpling. Meet a crane that worships God or will point on the dumplings. Sand powder. If no one cooks dumplings, replace it with tea.

Taboos :

Kirin is a sacred object of the Taoist family. The athletes who dance unicorn do not eat beef and dog meat. If they break up and eat, it may cause disease or injury; the bright unicorn needs to be placed on the ground and should not be placed on the ground; nor can it be touched by women.
