Lingyang is talented and friendly member of the Liondance Troupe in Jinzhou. His passion and courage are evident as he engages with humans, showcasing his impressive physical abilities. With his unique style, he embodies the spirit of Liondancing.
Lingyang was given this liondance head by Mr. Qixing of the Liondance Troupe as a token of honor. Lingyang joined the Liondance Troupe at a young age by chance, and the liondance performance allowed Lingyang to unleash his wild side and bring encouragement and blessings to the community. It helped Lingyang get along with the people of Jinzhou. With Lingyang's hard work and practice, his small body was able to express the joys and sorrows of the lion, as well as its movements and fears. Nowadays, although Lingyang is already the well-known Liondancer, he still carries this lion head with him at all times.
Grilling is a popular cooking method in Jinzhou, but Lingyang has always been dissatisfied with how the charcoal grill can overpower the natural flavor of the meat. Determined to create something unique, he experimented and eventually perfected his own "medium-rare" skewers. By combining the beloved "Jinzhou Skewers" with simple yet flavorful seasonings, Lingyang was able to preserve the tenderness and smooth texture of the meat while adding a new level of taste that quickly became a sensation in the city. Despite sharing his cooking techniques, Lingyang's mastery of achieving the perfect "medium-rare" remains unmatched. This common dish has become a signature creation thanks to his dedication and ingenuity. “Want to know my cooking secret? Just handle each ingredient with care and adjust the flame as needed. Easy!"
The mysterious Longevity Lock Lingyang was wearing when he first met the Liondance Troupe people. After arriving in Jinzhou, the Liondance Troupe traveled the streets and helped Lingyang find several merchants to talk to, trying to work out where the pendant came from, but to no avail. All they heard was, "It's an ancient design I've never seen before." Considering the vigorous movements of the liondance would inevitably cause damage to it, Lingyang chose to leave it in a wooden box for safekeeping. No matter who made it, the Longevity Lock holds the same good wishes for health and happiness. By sharing it with you, Lingyang is sending his sincere hopes for your well-being.
The liondance in Jinzhou boasts a broad audience base. Whether it’s grand events like freshman initiations and opening ceremonies or intimate occasions like birthday celebrations for the elderly and 100-day festivities for babies, there are always moments that call for a celebration ritual, and that’s why the Liondance Troupe consistently attracts a steady stream of clients. As the leading Liondancer, his role extends beyond the thrilling and somewhat risky performances on the Plum Blossom Poles. Creating individualized liondance routines is a crucial aspect of his job, guaranteeing impactful performances that leave a lasting impression on clients. Lingyang enjoys interacting with clients, diving deep into their needs to create a customized lion dance performance. But beyond his job, it’s a personal passion. For him, each person’s story is a treasure waiting to be unearthed, and he takes pleasure in unraveling them. His genuine curiosity often leads clients to open up and share their true thoughts. This can leave some wondering if they’re in the right place – has the Liondance Troupe started offering psychological counseling? The Liondance Troupe navigates a world of tight schedules, last-minute changes, and unforeseen emergencies. Balancing conflicts and friction is a constant challenge, as one misstep could mean losing valuable clients. Thus, the key to their success lies in understanding and addressing each client’s emotions. Lingyang has mastered this art of negotiation, making it just another conquest in her repertoire. Luckily, Lingyang finds another way to deal with difficult clients: by giving Lucky Greetings. Armed with a bright smile and sincere well-wishes, Lingyang can make even the most unreasonable clients concede a bit. Gradually, his <i>Lucky Greetings Collection</i> has become essential reading for his fellow Liondancers, turning “giving Lucky Greetings to everyone” into a signature feature of the troupe. “Giving lucky greetings upon meeting someone. You must be from the Liondance Troupe, right? Please come in!” However, Lingyang’s lucky greetings aren’t one-size-fits-all. They should be sincere and tailored to the receiver. While it may have become a routine for the Liondance Troupe, Lingyang still puts effort into giving genuine and personalized blessings. He firmly believes that these greetings bring good luck to those who receive them. If you come across a Liondancer showering you with lucky greetings, don’t be skeptical. Just accept his pure and sincere blessings, for it’s the best response to a kind and friendly soul.
