The origin of the salt stove dragging the doll

According to legend, in the Qing Dynasty, a fisherman in the village was arrested in the shallow sea and caught an idol. His image is very solemn and powerful, which is frightening. He threw it away and was caught again. He must pray for the statue. If he can help me catch a basket full of fish and shrimp, he will take you back. It was found to be very rich that day, so it was placed in the temple in the village for people to worship, and the incense was very strong.

The drag of Chenghai salt stove is the unique charm of Chaoshan. In the future, the lucky draw will first tie the idol in a sedan chair with a rope, and the villagers will grab the idol. After grabbing the idol, they tied it with a rope, dragged it to the pond and threw it into the water for soaking.

In order to prevent robbery, the god-bearer took off his coat and coated himself with peanut oil to make his whole body slippery, so that he would not be easily caught robbing. In the entertainment competition of robbing God and protecting God, the idol was beaten to disability, black and blue, beyond recognition.

Yanzao in Hong Yan Town, Chenghai County, Guangdong Province is a natural village with a population of more than 65,438+6,000. The villagers live a life of "three farming and seven fishing". There is a peculiar folk custom of dragging the gods in the village, which is rare in Chaoshan. Every year, the 21st and 22nd day of the first lunar month is the God Wandering Festival, so the young people in the village need to be prepared to drag their feet and lift their spirits.

Drag the idol down, so that you have to take off your face, break your feet and hands, and then push it into the pool to soak, so you can do it yourself. Drag and drag, pick up the idol on an auspicious day, reshape the golden body, and send it back to the temple for worship and incense. Year after year, this folk custom still exists.
