Customs of Baijia Banquet in Sankui Town, Taishun

For ancestral temple wine, this is very common among Zhejiang and Fujian folks. Every family name has once or twice a year to worship the ancestors, and then several tables of banquets will be placed in the ancestral hall for the people to get together. It's just that people who participate are always confined to their own homes. Generally, people with physical surnames don't take the initiative to intervene, and the scale is only a few tables and a dozen tables. But this is the characteristic of Taishun Baijia Banquet-people with foreign surnames have joined this "cocktail party", and the scale is increasing year by year. At the banquet, the people sitting in the ancestral hall of Zhangzhai were not all Zhangzhai's people, nor were they all Sankui locals. According to the arrangement, the guests of units and departments in Taishun County and other places were arranged in the courtyard of Zhang Ancestral Hall, and the locals basically sat in the seats lined up along the street.

It is reported that the "Hundred Banquets" here used to be used to mediate contradictions among villages, but now it has become a grand gathering for villages to enhance exchanges and friendship. On February 4th this year, Chongqing Evening News reported that a banquet for 100 people was held in Qianmi Old Street, Zhongshan Ancient Town, Jiangjin, and thousands of people had a reunion dinner together. * * * I wish the coming year good weather, abundant crops, peace and prosperity. According to the report, since 2006, Zhongshan Ancient Town will hold a large-scale reunion dinner on the eve of the Spring Festival-"Thousand-meter Hundred Family Banquets".

The origin of the custom of "Zhang Zhai" is not explained in the new edition of Chronicle Customs of Taishun County, which is widely used in this county, and in the relevant chapters of Fenjiang Record of the old county annals, and there is no shadow in Ye's Complete Works of Wenzhou Folk Stories. In the words of local people, many things in Taishun folk were bred in an inner room, and no one knew her, such as covered bridges and puppets. It can be seen that Taishun folk culture is rich and colorful.
