Huaiji Lantern Festival —— A Unique Folk Custom in Eastern Mountainous Areas

After the Lantern Festival, the lively Spring Festival in most parts of the country has also come to an end. However, in Fenggang, Qishui, Gansa and other mountainous towns in the east of Huaiji, the Spring Festival really ended after the Lantern Festival on the twentieth day of the first month. On the twentieth day of the first month, the owner of the chandelier came to the ancestral hall with cooked whole chicken, pork, vegetarian dishes, incense sticks and firecrackers, just like when putting out lanterns the next day. At this time, the candlelight in the ancestral hall is bright, cigarettes are entangled, and firecrackers are one after another, which is deafening. The family is happy and the neighborhood celebrates. Neighbors also used chicken and meat to worship their ancestors, and firecrackers came one after another, pushing the Spring Festival to a climax.

June 6th Ge Wei

Once upon a time, Qiaotou Town in Huaiji had the custom of catching temple fairs. On the sixth day of the sixth lunar month, people from various villages came to Yan Xi to play the piano. Some put up tents on the beach to sing big plays, some set up stalls by the river, some caught bird's nest on the cliff, and some sang by stalagmites ... Today's Yanyuan June 6th Song Festival probably originated from this.

Sihui Citrus Festival

Sihui Citrus Festival, time: every autumn.

Sihui City is a famous hometown of citrus, with a long history of citrus cultivation. According to historical records, in the Ming Dynasty more than 400 years ago, Sihui began to grow oranges on a large scale. Li Shizhen's Compendium of Materia Medica called Sihui "frozen orange". Because Sihui has a unique natural geographical environment, climate, local products and rich experience of orange farmers, Sihui citrus is famous at home and abroad for its thin skin, sweet and refreshing taste and fresh taste without residue. Since the Ming Dynasty, Sihui sent the best oranges to the imperial court every year, so it was called "Gongju". In the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, citrus was planted on a large scale in the villages along the Suijiang River. Today, citrus cultivation has become a major industry in the four fairs, with more than 30 citrus varieties. Sihui has truly become a citrus kingdom, and a large-scale citrus market has also been formed on both sides of Guanghai North Line and Silian Highway. Every autumn, Sihui City holds the annual Citrus Festival, with citrus as the medium, holding large-scale business negotiations and cultural and artistic performances to attract guests from all over the world to taste citrus and negotiate business.

Bath Buddha Festival

Qingyun Temple in Dinghushan, one of the four famous temples in Lingnan, has its Buddha bathing festival scheduled for April 8th of the lunar calendar, which is the same as the Buddhist Buddha bathing festival in Han Dynasty in China. In the early hours of the same day, Buddhists burned incense and decorated lanterns in the main halls, and then gathered in the Hall of the Great Hero to hold a chanting ceremony (also known as the Buddhist Irrigation Meeting). At the beginning of the chanting ceremony, Buddhists chanted sutras, and then the master held out the incarnation of Sakyamuni-a small jade Buddha. Then the abbot told the story according to the story. When Sakyamuni was born, Ssangyong bathed in Twain water and cold water respectively, spit water like a dragon to bathe the small jade Buddha, and poured various famous perfumes on it in advance. After the ceremony, Buddhists watered all kinds of flowers with the remaining perfume. One or two days before the Bath Buddha Festival, good men and women from all over the world came in succession, waiting for the auspicious day of April to worship Buddha, praying for the blessing of Buddha and bearing good fruit.
