Traditional Culture of Folk Art in Fuxi Mausoleum of Taihao

The Fuxi family of Taihao is an ancient sage emperor in China's historical myths and legends, and Taihao Mausoleum in Huaiyang County, Henan Province is its mausoleum temple. Today, the Taihao Mausoleum in Huaiyang has formed a huge mausoleum area with a north-south central axis of about 750 meters and an area of about 575 mu, which is divided into three imperial cities: the outer city, the inner city and the Forbidden City. Dozens of buildings in the mausoleum temple mainly run through the north-south vertical central axis. If the doors of all buildings on the central axis are opened one by one, you can directly see the huge mausoleum of the Fuxi family in the Forbidden City from the first door in the south. As the "head of Huang San", Tai Hao is the "ancestor of humanity" of the Chinese nation, and its tombs and temples are also called "the first mausoleum in the world". Now it is a national key cultural relics protection unit and a national 4A-level scenic spot.

In the long-term historical development of the Han nationality, "temple fairs" have always played an irreplaceable role in seeking spiritual sustenance and comfort for the people, especially ordinary people, and longing for a better life, thus promoting social stability and inheriting human civilization. Compared with other forms of spiritual and cultural consumption, it has the characteristics of spontaneity, large-scale, diversity, long-term and stability, so it is irreplaceable.

Henan traditional temple fair culture is rich and colorful with a long history. It is an important part of the Yellow River culture and even Chinese culture, and an important carrier of national spirit and emotion. It has a profound mass base and distinctive regionality and times. The customs and rituals attached to the traditional temple fair culture have a great relationship with the deep-seated national cultural psychology and have high research value. It is a garden for the general public to convert to their ancestors, place their souls, place their hopes and maintain their expectations. This plays an important role in people's psychological self-regulation and building a harmonious society.

Due to its long history, Huaiyang Ancestral Hall has not obviously integrated foreign religious ideas and religious consciousness, but has continued the original ancestor worship and reproductive worship consciousness and maintained the integration of cultural forms. It is the most primitive and ethnic temple fair, which is the unique cultural value of Huaiyang Ancestral Hall.

Such as sacrificial ceremonies, sacrificial ceremonies and popular music and dances, palace-guarding rap with the meaning of "persuading goodness", Han folk arts and crafts with the consciousness of "human childhood", stories and legends about Fuxi Nuwa, such as "making people unearthed" and the custom of "gossip culture" circulated by Han people. Sacrificial ceremonies are held every year, which not only attracts local people and people from several surrounding counties, but also attracts a large number of overseas tourists.
