Guangzhou Zengcheng Hakka Mid-Autumn Festival custom fish lantern dance?

The traditional Mid-Autumn Festival is celebrated all over the country on the occasion of the 15th day of the eighth lunar month. During this period, the customs of festivals are colorful and dazzling. Among them, there is an interesting Mid-Autumn Festival custom in the Hakka village of Zengcheng, Guangzhou, called "Fish Lantern Dance". So today, Lao Huangli will introduce the Hakka Mid-Autumn Festival custom in Zengcheng, Guangzhou-fish lantern dance.

On the fifteenth day of the eighth lunar month, there is a traditional mass cultural and artistic activity in some Hakka mountain villages in Paitan and Fuhe of Zengcheng, which is to dance fish lanterns. Fish lanterns are said to have been introduced from Shunde by the older generation. Shunde Daliang Fish Lantern is one of the "three major scenic spots" in Guangfu, which is as famous as autumn colors in Foshan and floating colors in Panyu Shawan. After the fish lantern dance was introduced from Shunde, it gradually became a unique folk dance of Zengcheng Hakka.

Shunde's Daliang fish lamp not only pays attention to form and simplicity, but also pays attention to attitude and workmanship, and is famous for its flying spirit and beauty. Shunde fish lanterns are mostly headlights. The fish body is about 2 meters (six or seven feet) or even more than 3 meters (more than one foot) and weighs five or six kilograms. When patrolling, one person supports them with a bamboo pole, and the two fork fish heads and tail fins respectively.

The fish lanterns in Zengcheng Hakka village, although learned from Daliang, are mostly small lanterns because of poor economic conditions and simple production, which looks simple. There are many bamboo materials in mountainous areas, and fish lanterns are based on bamboo materials, which is both economical and convenient. Using colored paper instead of satin and tulle also has its own style.

There are many styles of fish lanterns in Zengcheng, including carp (also divided into fire carp, golden carp and silver carp), crucian carp and shad, as well as shrimp and "Pompidou" (a small fish with colorful scales that lives in a ditch where spring water flows). In a word, the familiar fish in the water can be made by a pair of skillful hands and merged into a group of fish to swim in the happy ocean of the mountain village on the night of Mid-Autumn Festival.

Zengcheng's Mid-Autumn Fish Lantern Dance is very popular with people in mountain villages. Because Hakka houses are scattered and villages are generally small, dancing fish lanterns not only perform in villages, but also cruise in villages. Every time the fish lantern team goes to a village, they perform on the village threshing floor.

At this time, I saw the fish swimming back and forth, high or low, urgent or slow, shaking their tails and heads, looking elegant. There are carp swimming against the current, and a group of carp bite their tails and jump shrimp. The unique tricks and tacit cooperation of the dancers attracted the audience to applaud loudly, which made the children happy and added a happy atmosphere to Shili Mountain Village.

Because the fish lantern dance is deeply loved by the masses and can deepen the friendly relationship with neighboring villages through performances, there are still traditional programs of fish lantern dance at the beginning of 2 1 century in many villages and streets where Hakka people live in Zhengguo, Paitan and Zhongxin. Every Mid-Autumn Festival night, young men and women in each village meet to perform a fish lantern dance and greet their friends with lanterns.
