On New Year's Eve and the "Sea Festival" on the 13th day of the first month, fishermen will go to the seaside to pay homage, set off firecrackers and burn incense paper, and pay homage devoutly.

"Remember the wind" fishermen remember the time of strong wind and heavy rain by experience, so as to predict the local conditions and customs after 100.

Pray for the wind. The 25th day of the first month is Dragon Wind Day. Fishermen often use the wind direction of this day to predict the harvest at sea, burn paper, burn incense and kowtow, and pray for "sail before the wind".

After the new ship docked, the owner chose "auspicious day of the ecliptic", and set up offerings at the bow, lit candles, burned incense yellow watches, beat gongs and drums, set off firecrackers and presented gifts. The owner holds cinnabar to clean and light the new boat, paints the bow, hangs a red flag on the mast, and the boatman blows the horn of "All goes well" and sends the boat to the sea.

"Surfing the Internet" At the beginning of each year, the net that has been trimmed for a winter is first set on the coast, accompanied by the sound of gongs and drums and firecrackers. The fishermen carried fishing nets, shouted their songs, boarded the boat slowly, put the fishing nets in the cabin section by section, and paid tribute and blessings to them.

Before "going out to sea", a pig was slaughtered, skinned and scalded, the whole pig was enshrined in the bow, and colorful flags were raised in the drums and firecrackers. After the sacrifice, the pig was cut open, boned, cut into large pieces and stewed into "fat meat", and the fishermen gave a banquet and drank it. Outsiders need not be humble when they meet the crew for dinner.

The fishermen who sacrificed to the Dragon King went out to sea for the first time to inspect their fishing nets. The fish they caught were cooked and put on plates. They poured wine pulp and burned incense paper, praying that the Dragon King would keep the sea safe.

It is forbidden to say "leak", "turn" and "buckle" in "maritime taboo", but to say "clear", "turn", "row" and "cross"; Say "high" and "low" when going out to sea instead of "far" and "near"; After unloading fish and shrimp, say "full" instead of "unloaded" or "no"; The sail should be called "Peng"; Jiaozi will say "earned" when it is cooked; "v (irrigation)" means "complaining"; If the rope is broken, say "come up"; "The tenth day" (touching the stone) was replaced by "two fives"; Don't say "broken" when something is broken, but say "laughed"; When you meet old fish such as sharks and whales, you should not call them by their first names, but call them "old people"; When sailing, whistling and telling jokes are forbidden. Spoons and rice bowls are not allowed to be buckled, and chopsticks are not allowed to be carried on the bowl. After eating, chopsticks should be rushed forward to show that the boat is fast and unimpeded. Women are not allowed to cross the bow, nor are they allowed to urinate on the bow.
