What are the taboos for launching a new ship?

Sailors pay attention to the launching ceremony, and basically have this ceremony. Godmother is like a patron saint.

Some smashed champagne, some cut cables, some pulled the ship name screen and so on.

Generally, women seldom use their own shipyard. Outside guests are invited, such as the ship owner's wife, the female leader of the loan bank, the female leader of the local * * * and so on.

However, fishermen's fishing boats have the following customs, which you can learn from:

Fishermen have to deal with the changeable sea all year round, which is always a potential danger, especially in the past, when science was underdeveloped, fishermen's safety at sea could not be guaranteed, and they often prayed for the blessing of the gods, and many superstitious customs and taboos were passed down. The most common:

Turning on the light is the launching ceremony of the new ship. This is a fisherman's activity, and the ceremony is the most grand. When the new ship was completed, relatives and friends sent red flags to congratulate. This flag is six feet wide, which means "Great Harmony". In recent years, the national flag has soared, from dozens to more than one hundred. The opening ceremony should be held on an auspicious day. Before dawn, the ship owner went to the ship to burn paper, whip and burn incense, and hung red and green cloth strips on the bow. Prepare two red cocks, one at the bow, and the chicken blood will flow down from the "eye of the boat" and dye the bow red, commonly known as "opening the light" or hanging red. Fishermen in Lanshan area call this move "irrigation belt", also called "dyeing longan", which means that the boat is like a dragon. After launching, its eyes are wide and bright, and it can be seen clearly no matter day or night, whether it is foggy or rainy, and more fish are caught. And get the blessing of the dragon king everywhere. Taking chicken blood to open the light is intended to borrow the homonym of chicken, which means "good luck" The release of another rooster means "release", which means that you can avoid death when you encounter a shipwreck. After the lights are turned on, the new ship can go on trial. Commonly known as "under the river". When you go down the river, you should burn incense, burn paper, set off firecrackers, plant greeting flags sent by relatives and friends, and also plant cash cows. Everything was ready, and friends and neighbors gathered at Haitou to bid farewell to the new ship.

Shanghai, also known as respecting the Dragon King, is held every year on the fifth day of the first month. This ceremony is actually the annual opening ceremony of fishery production. There should be a whole pig on the bow. Some people only offer pig heads and tails as whole pigs in order to save money and effort. Pig face needs a knife.

Draw a "ten" and put it in the bean paste, two green onions, cakes, tunnel heads, fruits, etc. Some fishermen, like a new boat, killed red rooster at the bow, and blood flowed through the eyes of the boat, becoming famous every day. After the incense and paper were distributed, the crew, led by the ship owner, kowtowed to the sea and prayed for the blessing of the Dragon King, so that they could have a good year of peace and harvest. After that, the shipowner gave a banquet to entertain the crew. During the dinner, the crew discussed the production plan of the year, such as fishing destination, species, dividends, etc., and the crew could put forward their own reasonable suggestions.

When the fishing boat of the sea queen encounters a storm, the boatman should put down the mast and anchor to respect the sea queen. After the boat, there is a fragrant table of Zunhai Queen, which provides three glasses of wine all the year round. During the sacrifice, the boatman stood on the ship's surface with clear water in his mouth, and then entered the cabin to burn incense to Poseidon.

Drinking, mumbling, praying for peace. When they returned to the ship safely, some people sang big plays in the Dragon King Temple to reward the gods.

What was the ceremony of launching ancient ships?

Ship launching ceremony originated from ancient people's fear of the ocean. The earliest recorded launching ceremony appeared in Babylon, Cuba in 3000 BC. According to a narrative poem handed down, in order to protect the safety of the new ship, the person who presided over the launching ceremony sprinkled three pots of asphalt on the hull and sacrificed to the gods at the expense of the bull. Later, ancient Egypt, ancient Greece and Rome inherited this tradition and prayed for the protection of the gods at the launching ceremony of new ships. In ancient Greece, people who attended the launching ceremony usually wore wreaths made of olive branches, drank heavily to show respect for the gods, and threw water on the new ship to show their blessings. In ancient Rome, people also built altars on the back deck of new ships to pray, which may be one of the origins of some countries regarding the back deck of ships as a special and sacred place.

1675, a 23-paddle sloop was launched in Malta. A Royal Navy officer recorded the scene in detail: "Two priests took a servant onto the deck and knelt down to pray for half an hour. Then I touched every mast and several other places on the ship with my hands and sprinkled holy water on every corner. Before pushing the boat into the water, they raised a small flag and announced that the boat had become a soldier. "

From throwing golden wine glasses to "bottle throwing ceremony"

/kloc-in Europe in the 0/7th century, the religious color in the launching ceremony of ships gradually faded. In Britain, the royal family or senior naval officers gradually become the host of the launching ceremony. For example, in 16 10, when the gunboat Royal Prince was launched, the host was the Prince of Wales, who was also a famous shipyard.

There was an interesting tradition in the ceremony at that time: when the new ship glided along the slide, the owner symbolically took a sip of wine from a golden glass, and then spilled the rest of the wine on the deck or bow. The empty glass was thrown overboard like a bride holding flowers, and whoever grabbed it was his. Later, the navy built more and more ships and threw more and more golden wine glasses. The shipyard can't stand it. The organizer thought of an idea: throw away the golden goblet as it is, but throw it on the pre-arranged net cover for recycling. By the end of 17, the habit of throwing golden wine glasses was finally replaced by the "bottle throwing ceremony" when the bow broke the bottle. Of course, the bottle should be filled with "baptism liquid"

The original "baptism holy liquid" is usually served with some kind of wine. For example, when USS Constitution 1797 was launched, the captain smashed a full bottle of Madeira white wine at the bow; 1843 "Princeton" was launched with whisky. Besides wine, water and even fruit juice can also be used as "baptism holy liquid". 1858, the USS Hartford went through three "baptisms" when it was launched: the first time it was seawater from the Atlantic Ocean, the second time it was river water from the Connecticut River, and the third time it was spring water from Hartford (the capital of Connecticut).

As champagne is generally regarded as the "essence of wine", it has gradually become the protagonist of the "baptism holy liquid", and the "bottle throwing ceremony" has also become a champagne smashing performance. In the 1920s, the United States began a "prohibition of alcohol" lasting 14 years. As a result, the "baptism holy liquid" of the new ship was affected and had to return to "replacing alcohol with water". Two heavy cruisers "Pensacola" and "Houston" failed to taste champagne, and the V-6 submarine even used apple juice when launching.

The curse of Camilla

In the early "bottle throwing ceremony", the "bottle throwing person" was usually a male. In the19th century, there are more and more women. In Britain, since 18 10, women's "bottle throwing ceremony" has gradually become a routine. At that time, princes and nobles were all spoiled, and it was not easy for them to accurately hit the bottle on the bow. According to records, a princess in Hanover Palace in England presided over the "bottle throwing ceremony" and failed to achieve her goal. After throwing the bottle hard, it failed to hit the bow, but flew to the onlookers, hurting the audience. Afterwards, the Admiralty reluctantly paid the innocent a sum of compensation.

For the superstitious navy, it is a big deal that the bottle throwing ceremony failed to break the champagne bottle. It is said that in ancient times when there was no wireless communication, the crew could only seal their wills in drift bottles and throw them into the sea, hoping that they would be received by their relatives one day. Therefore, drifting bottles represent death and disaster, and smashing bottles when a new ship is launched represents driving away bad luck. There is a plot in the movie K- 19 Widow Maker 200 1: the bottle of the Soviet submarine K- 19 was not broken when it was launched, and as a result, K- 19 was tragic. ...

In real life, there have also been cases where the "bottle throwing ceremony" failed to smash champagne bottles. June 5438+February 2007, ... >>
