There is a custom in Fuzhou called "wandering the gods". What kind of custom is this?

China is a vast country, so many places have special customs. In Fuzhou, there is a custom called "wandering the gods", which existed in the Qing Dynasty and gradually evolved into what we see now. Fuzhou has a special terrain and is very narrow. This has created a scene in which families get close to each other. Fuzhou people are in awe of the gods and believe in their existence.

The most striking feature of Fuzhou's wandering gods is that they don't cross the line. In Fuzhou, because of geographical reasons, every village is close. But what is unique is that each village has its own gods, and the gods worshipped by each village are different, and the days when each village chooses to worship the gods are different. The most important thing is that when worshipping God, you can't go beyond the scope of your own village and parade the gods of your own village to other villages. This is a blasphemy.

The custom of wandering has a deep meaning. Some people will put on clothes similar to gods and paint their faces with colorful clothes to dress up as gods. Then they began to March in the street, which means that the gods come to the world and patrol the world, which can protect the soil and water and the good weather. This custom is popular among people in Southeast Asia and East Asia. This activity also puts people's simple and beautiful wishes in their hearts.

We should respect different folk customs. There are many people who don't believe in ghosts and gods now. These people believe in science, so they have unusual plans for these ghosts and gods This is not correct. Each of us has our own different beliefs. We should all learn to respect each other and should not profane the beliefs in other people's hearts.
