雄狮少年 Symbolism of the competition ground

The ground on which the lion dance teams compete is studded with posts topped with small round platforms, and a single tall pillar. A green hanging "leaf" attracts the lions. Explanations of the meanings of each of the elements are provided in the film. Match the Chinese with the English/images.
