Today, to talk about the culture of Shetan Gong, in our Area of Binyang, Guangxi, there are Shetan Gong in villages and villages, before I thought that the whole country was the same, but later I found out that only on our side.
Shetan Gong is used to worship the land, some places are called land temple, but we are a village-level land temple, there is no small house or anything, it looks like a few stones, the middle is a tiled slate, now the living conditions are good, the slate has also been changed to cement, in general, it is still a slate of the altar gong has a feeling.
When I was a child, I didn't have any toys, so I relied on the New Year's Festival to go to the social altar to pick up firecrackers, take them to fry fish, fry cow dung or something, which was very enjoyable.
Yesterday I watched a video of a sister in Cen Xi, she said that they have a social altar over there, and only then did she know that there were many places in the original.
It is estimated that there are more in the south, and I have asked some friends in the north before, and they said that they did not have it there, and they did not know whether it was true or false.
The Land Temple, which belongs to the Taoist culture, should have come from the north, after all, the Central Plains are the center of China's differentiation, and the Central Plains are in the North.
In the past, the worship of the altar was generally the hostess of the family, but now the times are different, men and women have to go, mainly because the status of women has improved. The offerings are usually a bunch of boiled pork and a chicken or duck or something, plus some fruit and drinks.
After going there, put on the offering, first prostrate three times, and then talk to the sister-in-law next to you, after ten minutes or so, start to light the cannon, finish the cannon, and then prostrate three times, take back the sacrifice, go back and take out the sacrifice, and then worship the hall, the process is almost the same.
After the process of worshiping God is completed, you can cut the chicken and eat it.
I don't know if you have such a custom there, welcome to leave a message in the comment area.
