Zhuji folk culture

Yaogongbu Village in Bu Zhi Town is located between Zhugong Lake and Xiasihufan. As the saying goes, the lake is along the lake and the grass slope is contiguous. In the long years before liberation, most of the villagers here lived in huts, so fires often occurred and the villagers suffered greatly. In order to let the villagers live and work in peace and contentment, at that time, the village chiefs of Sancun decided to set up a voluntary fire brigade of Sancun, and selected 100 mature villagers to organize three hoses to undertake the task of voluntary fire fighting and disaster elimination in Sancun. In order to eliminate the fire in time and improve the children's fire prevention awareness of all villagers, Sancun decided to designate May 20th of the lunar calendar as the Water Splashing Festival from the 10th year of the Republic of China (i.e. 192 1). On that day, the hoses (made of wax or wood) in the three villages will be pulled out for competition practice. Its purpose is threefold: first, check whether the performance of the hose is good; The second is to test whether the players can pull out and play loudly; The third is to arouse the fire prevention awareness of all villagers, thus forming the traditional water dragon festival.
