Four Characteristics of Fuqing Customs

The fashions and customs that have been popular among the people for thousands of years basically reflect the traditional habits, moral norms and mental outlook of the people in Fuqing area. It is an important part and distinctive symbol of Fujian folk culture. From the perspective of historical evolution, Fuqing customs have four obvious characteristics:

(1) Inheriting the ancient Yue cultural heritage;

(2) accepting the influence of ancient Central Plains culture;

(3) Influenced by religions, especially Buddhism and Taoism;

(4) The absorption of overseas culture since modern times.

In Fuqing's traditional seasonal festivals and customs, welcoming the spring, receiving the spring and welcoming the new vividly reflect the traces of the legacy of ancient Yue. However, traditional customs such as the Lantern Festival, Tomb-Sweeping Day, Dragon Boat Festival and Double Ninth Festival, such as marriage, engagement, birthday, and folk beliefs such as Guan Gong's birthday, Ying Cheng Huang's birthday, Kuixing's birthday, Land's birthday and Luban's birthday, are obviously influenced by the Central Plains culture and are living fossils of ancient Central Plains culture. The worship and belief of Fuqing folk to the goddess of the sea (Mazu, commonly known as Mazu) and the goddess of the earth (Mrs. Chen, the Queen Mother of Waterfront, commonly known as Waterfront Milk) shows that Taoism has a deep influence on Fuqing folk customs, especially Waterfront Milk, which has been regarded as the protector of women and children in folk for hundreds of years, has penetrated into almost every household in folk. Believing in folk customs, such as Guanyin's birthday, Dizang King's birthday, Sizhou Buddha, Bathing Buddha Festival, etc. , fully demonstrated the penetration of Buddhism. Buddhism and Taoism are worshipped by believers in Fuqing folk customs, and they often share the same case with Buddhism. Relatively speaking, Islam has little influence on Fuqing's customs. In modern times, the living habits of Fuqing have also been influenced by Catholicism and Christianity. Houses with shoes off, lantern exhibitions and flower exhibitions vividly reflect Fuqing people's tradition of being good at absorbing foreign cultures and learning. In the process of its formation, Fuqing Customs not only has the ability to absorb and integrate foreign customs, but also has its own separatist regions. In the folk customs of life, there are different customs of fellow villagers. In the folk custom of faith, there is not only the phenomenon of burning incense to Taoism and Buddhism, but also the exclusive position of "offering sacrifices to religion" (referring to Catholicism and Christianity from the West) as paganism. Fuqing custom contains a peculiar two-way pattern of respecting tradition and being brave in pioneering, nostalgic for homeland and keen to go abroad, which has cultivated many talents, including Lin Zexu, the first national hero in modern history, Yan Fu, an enlightenment thinker who introduced the western emerging bourgeois ideas, Lin Shu, the founder of China's translation circle, and Huang Nai Song, a famous overseas Chinese leader who initiated "New Fuqing" in South Asia in China's modern history. Fuqing custom fully presents the humanistic form of "southeast mountain country" and "the glory of Fujian sea", which is closed and open in both directions.

Spring Festival is the first day of the first lunar month, which was called the end of feet in ancient times. It is a festival to bid farewell to the old and welcome the new, and it is also the biggest festival of the year. Eating peacefully in the morning (2 eggs on the surface of the line) symbolizes one year's peace. From the first day to the third day, I wash clothes for my elders, relatives and friends at home and say auspicious words. Lantern Festival on the fifteenth day of the first month, visit the lantern market. After the seventh day in Fuqing area, the lantern market was popular, and lanterns were given to people. Nanhou Street specializes in selling all kinds of paper lanterns, which are hung high on both sides of the street and under the gutter.

Celebrating the ninth day of September is a unique holiday custom in Fuqing area. Glutinous rice porridge is cooked with red dates, brown sugar, water chestnuts, longan, peanuts and other condiments, which is called "lotus root wine porridge" as breakfast for the whole family; Married daughters should also send porridge to their parents, which means wishing them a safe ninth festival. Tomb-Sweeping Day visited the grave during his stay in Tomb-Sweeping Day. The food is mainly pineapple tree and light cakes.

Dragon Boat Festival: The fifth day of May, also known as the Five-Day Festival. The main activity from the first day to the fifth day is dragon boat racing; At noon on the fifth day, we should drink realgar wine, eat peanut glutinous rice balls and lotus leaf steamed buns.

On the seventh night of July, it was the time when the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl met at the Magpie Bridge. Fuqing area generally presents broad beans to each other as a souvenir on this festival.

The Mid-Autumn Festival is celebrated on August 15, also known as the Reunion Festival. Families get together to eat moon cakes, drink and enjoy the moon. It used to be called "waiting for the moonlight".

Chongyang respects the elderly on the ninth day of September, which is called Double Ninth Festival. In the old society, people climbed mountains and flew kites, which was very lively.

The winter solstice is also called the winter festival. The whole family get together to rub pills, which is called "rubbing pills" in Fuqing dialect, meaning reunion.

The 24th day of the twelfth lunar month is also called "offering sacrifices to stoves". Every household cleans the kitchen to welcome the new year, and the food is mainly stove candy and stove cakes.

The last day of the New Year in China, also known as New Year's Eve, is the most important festival of the year. The whole family get together, have a happy New Year's Eve dinner and give the children lucky money. After the New Year, the next day is the Spring Festival.

Past lives in Lane 36, Seventh Street, Fuqing, Fujian

The ancient city of Yurong is a vicissitudes folk song, full of charm. The old man listened to the story of seven streets and thirty-six lanes told by his grandfather's grandfather. In the dead of night, I can still hear the "click" sound of clogs passing through the slate roadway; In the morning fog, there seems to be the cry of "tea tea" ... and the "yellow rice cake and light cake" coming from the depths of the alley. The old man selling olive skewers used a bamboo tube to hold bamboo sticks and slowly threw out a crisp sound, which has been ringing since the Tang Dynasty to this day. ...

Today's financial city is a bright pearl on the southeast coast of the motherland. Since 1990, the old city has been transformed, planned and constructed, and the urban area has changed with each passing day. Millions of Fuqing people are working hard to build a new city in the hometown of overseas Chinese, and a modern city is rising. Nostalgic literati asked the historical old man: Is the Seventh Street and the Thirty-sixth Lane safe now?

Opening the long scroll of history, I read the city respectfully through my reading glasses. The town where we live and work has been the resident of the county magistrate's office since wanan county (the first name of Fuqing City) was established in Eight Townships in Southeast Changle in the second year of Tang Shengli (AD 699). After expansion and transformation, it has been 1300 years.

Rongcheng is the political and cultural center of Fuqing. In the past 1300 years, it was in feudal society114 years, and it was in semi-colonial and semi-feudal society 109. Later, it belonged to the primary stage of socialism in New China. In feudal society, the names of streets and lanes in Rongcheng were mainly taken by ordinary people wearing cloth clothes, but also by government officials and literati out of interest or out of some need. Later, the government rectified many times, and literati intervened everywhere. The proportion of street names in this area increased day by day and the cultural atmosphere became stronger. Searching the city carefully, we captured the fluttering silver whiskers of the old people in history:

During the Tang and Song Dynasties, there were: Xiaoqiao, Shangjing, Zen Hall, Xiapu, Fish Market and Lane 33, Street 6, Hengjie; In the Ming and Qing Dynasties, there were: Xianqian, Preschool Education, Ximen, Shangjing, Xia Jing, Xiaoqiao, Zen Hall, Houpu, Fish Market, Hengjie, Qianchang, 1 1 Street Lane 33.

In a blink of an eye, New China was established and Fuqing was liberated. 1950, Rongcheng has: Lane 58, 9 Street, He Qian, Xinjie, Yifu, Zen Hall, Houpu, Xiaoqiao, Huanjie, Fuxing, Shi Yu; To 1979, Rongcheng Street such as Dabei, Houpu, Xiaoqiao, Zen Hall, Waterway, Preschool, Fish Market, Hengjie, Fuxing and Xinjie 10, Lane 6 1.

Fuqing Xiuzhi in 1988 recorded seven streets: Houpu Street, Shi Yu Street, Shuilu Street (Ximen Street), Chantang Street, Xiaoqiao Street, Dabei Street and Huanjie. These 36 lanes are Shangxiang, Hetou Lane, Zhengxiang Lane, Wangxiang Lane, Jiaodai Lane, Lianxiang Lane, Yangchun Lane, Lane, Dongxiang Lane, Lane, Fengshan Lane, Wucuo Lane, Lane, Shenxiang Lane, Duben Lane, Xingyuan Lane, Lakeside Lower, Yudouyuan and Shenfuqian.

1990 On the eve of Fuqing's withdrawal from the county and the establishment of the city, there were 42 roads and lanes 124.

We were pleasantly surprised to find that the names Xiaoqiao Street, Houpu Street (Xiapu in Tang and Song Dynasties) and Chantang Street have been in use since Tang and Song Dynasties. The ancient financial city, long history and endless traditional culture can't make Yurong's children deeply moved and proud!

With the gradual deepening of reform and opening up and the continuous development of economic construction in our city, municipal construction has also made great progress. The transformation of the old city and the construction of the new city are carried out simultaneously. The urban area has expanded from the original 4.6 square kilometers to the present 10 square kilometers. More than 10 main roads and 30 sub-main roads have been built and expanded, and nearly 100 small streets and alleys have been transformed. The old city has been transformed into a new residential area, and the city is changing with each passing day. At the same time, great changes have taken place in place names. Pieces of place name entities disappeared and new place names appeared. Since the county was abolished and the city was established, Fuqing Geographical Names Office has done a lot of work to standardize the names of urban streets and lanes. 1995 In July, according to 1986 Regulations on the Administration of Geographical Names issued by the State Council, 1988 Regulations on the Administration of Geographical Names in Fujian Province and 1992 Measures on the Administration of Geographical Names in Fuzhou City, the spirit is "to highlight features, pay attention to history and take care of habits".

Yifu Street, Dongmen Street, Liqiao Street, Houpu Street, Wenxing Street, Shuilu Street (Ximen Street), Xiaoqiao Street, Fenghuang Road, Jiang Bin Road, Longxing Road, Wanglong Road, Longshan Road, Rongbei Road, Xia Qiao Road, Limin Road, Yuping Road, Fengbei Road, Longhua Road, Gaodong Road, Gushan Road, Shang Hong Road, Yutang Road, Limin Road. Over the past six years, these names have been gradually accepted by people in urban construction. Now, the wide streets are full of traffic, and the slate lanes no longer exist, but are replaced by neat cement roads. The boy selling tea wears leather shoes on his feet, and the baskets are placed on both sides of the back seat of the bicycle. While pedaling on his bicycle, he traditionally shouted, "tea, tea!" " Buses shuttle through the main streets, and the newly-built Gao Xiang Street is in harmony with the antique modern atmosphere. Next to it, relying on the famous garden in the bean area, an antique street was born, which is comparable to Liqiao Street in front of Ruiyun Tower and under Huangge Chonglun.

The names of streets and lanes in Rongcheng are named according to the topography or the actual functions, which are memorable or mean to pray for good luck. For example, Shuangjing Road starts from the southern end of Nanmen Bridge in the east and reaches the eastern foot of Shuangjing Mountain in the west, connecting Jiangnan Road. Shuangjing Mountain is one of the scenic spots in Fuqing, so this road is named after this mountain. Houpu Street, formerly known as Xiapu Street, was the residence of Xia family in ancient times. Most shops on both sides of the street were opened by Xia family, hence the name. Because of the homonym of "Xia" and "Hou", it gradually became Houpu Street. During the Cultural Revolution, it was renamed Anti-imperialist Road, and 1987 was changed to Houpu Road, now it is restored to its original name. Jiang Bin Road, formerly known as Taishan Road, was renamed Zhongshan Road in memory of Ye, a cabinet official of the Ming Dynasty, and later Huancheng Road in memory of Sun Yat-sen in the Republic of China. During the Cultural Revolution, it was renamed Jiefang Road, and 1979 restored Huancheng Road. Yong 'an Lane, Yongju Lane, Yongle Lane and Yongye Lane are named after the words "live and work in peace and contentment", indicating the good wishes of residents.

In the existing streets, it is difficult to find the shadow of the past. However, while using the names of Xiaoqiao, Zen Hall and Houpu Street, there is a street that runs through the city, but it is getting longer and more beautiful, and that is Yifu Street.

Yifu Street, formerly known as Yifu Road, starts from Overseas Chinese Theatre in the east, reaches Jiang Bin Road in the west and connects Dongmen Street, with a total length of 0.8km.. In the past, it was called Xue Qian Street, Fuxin Street, Fu Qian Street, Shi Yu Street, Shixin Street and Huanjie Street. The name of this street is to commemorate Xia Zheng, a famous person in Fuqing in the Northern Song Dynasty. In the late 1980s, the whole street standing in front of the county government was revoked, and it was collectively called Yifu Street. 1993, the lakeside Chardonnay on the west of Yifu Road was transformed into a section of Yifu Road, so the name of the lakeside Chardonnay was cancelled and returned to Yifu Street.

Why is it called "a street" to commemorate Xia Zheng? Because Xia Zheng is called "Mr. Yi Fu", there is a touching legend here.

Xia Zheng was born in Haikou County in the Northern Song Dynasty. Born in an honest and frank family, he is healthy and upright. Zhiping four years (1067) 27-year-old scholar. Concerned about the sufferings of the people and denouncing the evils of officialdom, he entered the "refugee map" and "evil Tu Tu" from the emperor, offended the big bureaucrats, was exiled to Qiongzhou, and was allowed to return to Beijing after half a year. Su Dongpo sponsored him to be an Oracle in Quanzhou. Soon after, he was pushed out by the treacherous court official and transferred back to Beijing to become a small official guarding the city gate.

Although Xia Zheng suffered a lot, his temper became more and more stubborn, and the angle of shuttle became more and more sharp. On one occasion, he accused Cai Jing, the imperial concubine of the dynasty, of doing evil to his face and offending traitors. When Xia Zheng retired to his hometown, Cai Jing stopped on the way to check Xia Zheng's ten boxes. After a few angry words, Cai Jing rudely opened Xia Zheng's imperial seal box. Who knows, I opened nine boxes, all of which were gravel and stones. When I opened the last box, I saw Four Treasures of the Study with all kinds of books. Cai Jing thought, the treasure must be at the bottom of the box. After turning it out, it turned out to be a piece of dust. Xia Zheng said slowly, "Xiaguan is innocent, so it depends on this matter. Always diligent in dusting. " After that, he dusted Cai Jing with his hand and smiled: "It's a pity that the dust of adults is too thick to brush off." Cai Jing was tongue-tied, and left in frustration with the jeers of onlookers.

This is the origin of "Mr. Yi Fu" and "Yi Fu Street". Mr. Yi Fu, who pleaded for the people, will remain in the hearts of the people in his hometown forever. The statue of Xia Zheng of Fuqing Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government is placed in the southeast corner of Jiexin Park, facing the crowds coming and going in the street, enjoying the prosperity of a peaceful and prosperous city and the fruits of reform and opening up, while the road is a monument embedded by Mr. Yi Fu in the jade melting land.

The Seventh Street and the Thirty-sixth Lane in Rongcheng, like the tune of Fujian Opera, is an epic chapter, like a song. Love my city and make seven streets and thirty-six lanes picturesque.
