During the Ming and Qing dynasties, Taishun "ancestral hall wine" and "Lantern Blessing", the "catalyst" of rural harmony
Chen Nengxiong/Wen
Taishun Lantern Festival Hundred Family Banquet, first of all, let people naturally think of the rich and diverse food and folklore. In fact, the prototype of the Hundred Family Banquets- the ancestral hall wine and Lantern Fu of Taishun in the Ming and Qing Dynasties has a rich humanistic meaning. The ancestor worship ceremony on the first day of the first lunar month exudes a strong Confucian culture, and after the ancestor worship, the ancestral hall wine, the readers sit in important seats, recite the family rules and family precepts, showing the idea of advocating reading and the power of Confucian indoctrination. In the Lantern Festival, the villagers work together to welcome the spring and enjoy the blessing, drink and enjoy together, and are full of harmony.
Taishun Fan under the initiative of the Wenzhou prefect
Every Lantern Festival, Taishun Sankui, Yayang and other places hold a grand and festive hundred family banquet, the huge town area is like an open-air living room, the streets and alleys are lined with thousands of seats, and thousands of people drink together. The Hundred Family Banquet has a long history, originating from the Taishun folk ancestral hall wine and Lantern Fu customs, which are more representative of Zhangzhai Village in Sankui Town.
During the Song Dynasty, Zhang Tinghou moved from Da'an to Guiyan (present-day Zhangzhai Village, Sankui Town), and the clan multiplied and lived, cultivating and reading for generations. By the time of Zhengde and Jiajing in the Ming Dynasty, Guiyan had a wealth of talents, a flourishing literary style, and formulated a relatively complete family rule and family training, and they offered sacrifices at four o'clock to integrate the moral indoctrination of the clan rules into the ancestral hall wine after the first day of the first month of the first month.
The vigorous development of the Guiyan ritual system and folk culture was not unrelated to the influence of Wenzhou culture and the advocacy of local villagers at that time. In 1474, Wen Lin, the father of the famous calligrapher and painter Wen Zhengming, served as Yongjiazhi County, and promoted the township covenant to the people, "The sages of Ji are expected to be for the people", and a large number of township sages contributed their talents and talents to devote themselves to rural construction, customs and education, and rural public affairs management, and were respected by the people.
More than twenty years later, in the year of Hongzhi Pengwu (1498), Wen Lin was restored to the prefect of Wenzhou, and he saw that Yongjia Shimin still obeyed the village covenants set in the past, and social life was orderly. Therefore, he promoted the excellent model of township covenants to all subordinate counties. He took into account that some large surnames live in clusters, no less than a thousand people, just as Xian Confucian said, "the patriarch is established by law, the world is easy to govern", only by standardizing the order of the rural clans and the villagers know etiquette and abide by the law, can we suppress evil and promote good, which is conducive to social stability and unity. He personally formulated the "Clan Model" and asked Dun to be close to the mutant clan. In this context, the major surnames of Taishun arose the custom of building ancestral halls and fixing family rules, such as the Wu clan of Xu Aodi in Shinomura, who was influenced by Wenlin's poetry, and they copied Wenlin's "Song of the Mu Clan" in the genealogy:
……
The clan is originally a tree with the same root, although the branches and leaves are in one place.
The root bacon tree has long branches and leaves, and it cannot fall even if it is blown by the wind.
If the family can be harmonious, the descendants and etiquette are solid.
Brothers and brothers have a lot of ideas, and the strong clans dare not bully each other.
If the clan is compared to a towering tree, the ethnicity is the thousands of branches and leaves that grow from the tree, they have the same root, and harmony is the foundation of the family's longevity.
In the year before Wenlin became the prefect of Wenzhou, in the year of Hongzhi Ding Wei (1497), Zhang Chong, a Guiyan man, was admitted to the Nanjing Guozijian. A few years later, he returned to his hometown to guard filial piety, and led his clan to build the Zhang Clan Ancestral Hall at the end of the nunnery, which was completed in the year of Zhengde Bingyin (1506).
Zhang Chong later served as the judge of HuguangYang Prefecture, Jiajing Washi (1523), he completed his rank in nine years, resigned and returned to his hometown. He wrote in the hermitage poem that "the merit is left to my children's generations", and since then he has wholeheartedly taught his sons and nephews, and he has formulated 18 family rules modeled on the ancient sages, and enlightened the children of the clan in order to abide by the ethnic lineage.
Later, Zhang Chong's son, Zhang Qingyang, a professor of Aoshan Weiwu, resigned his official duties and returned to his hometown, taking it as his duty to regain the family's luck, building a ancestral bridge and compiling a family tree, "The hearts of the people of the Mu clan are forbidden, the mountains, forests, and rivers are forbidden, and the birds are salty." He continued to improve the family rules and family disciplines, such as explicitly prohibiting the cutting of turtle rock feng shui forests and fishing for swallow water turtles, which not only revived the clan style, but also beautified the village environment and benefited the mountain birds and stream fish. Later, after the revision of the Zhang ancestors, the original 18 family rules of Zhang Chong were revised to 13.
Zhang Chong was praised by the people of the time as one of the "Three Masters of Taishun", and he was close friends with celebrities such as Zhang Xuan, the first assistant of the cabinet, Wang Zhang, the left attendant of the Rebbe, and Zhang Tianyou, the gongsheng of Guiyan, praised him in poetry: "Wei Zhao Kui Shan Gong, standing in the middle of the stream... Draw in Zhu Junying and make a yawn for the clan. "Whether Zhang Chong was studying in Nanjing Guozijian, during the period of you eunuch Qiuyang, or when he returned to the hermitage village, he did not forget to cultivate his sons and nephews, and brought out a large number of eunuch figures such as Zhang Zhu, Liu Geng, Zhang Qingyang, and Zhang Hu. He was called "Kuishan", and in the hearts of the clan he was as tall as Kuifeng, and the children of the clan humbly obeyed his admonitions. In that year, Zhang Chong wrote the family rules into the family tree, and asked the readers of the clan to read the words of admonition at the banquet after the end of the ancestral worship on New Year's Day (the first day of the old new month).
Ancestor worship ceremonies with Confucian culture
During the Ming and Qing dynasties, the ancestor worship ceremony system of the Three Kui Guiyan Zhang clan was complete, reminiscent of the scene of ancestor worship in Jia Fu in the novel "Dream of the Red Chamber". Through Xue Baoqin's observations, the novel describes the architectural structure of the Jia Ancestral Hall, the couplet of plaques, and the entire sacrifice process. In the Qing Dynasty, the Guiyan Zhang Clan Ancestral Hall has "Rope YuanTang", "Guangyu Hall" and "Guangyuan Hall", and the hall plaque has "Confucianism under heaven", from the hall number plaque, it can be seen that Zhang Clan admires Confucian sages, and its sacrifice ceremonies and family rules and family training also imply Confucianism.
There are special sacrificial fields in the clan as sacrifice funds. Every year on New Year's Day and Spring Festival, they have to do a lot of preparatory work, such as the red rice wine pre-arranged at the beginning of the previous year, and around the 28th day of the Waxing Moon, they clean the ancestral hall, clean the tables and chairs, and prepare the sacrificial utensils. Four people were sent from each room to prepare the wine and food needed for the sacrifice, and two people were in charge of the meal.
On the first day of the first lunar month, the rooster chirped for the first time, and a loud clan sound resounded throughout the village, and the Guiyan Zhang clan people heard the order, hurriedly got up to wash up, and cleaned up their clothes. Soon after, a second sound sounded, and the representatives participating in the sacrifice gathered at the ancestral hall. I saw that there were three seats in the main hall: the innermost altar table close to the spiritual seat was placed with three ceremonies: chicken, fish, pig's head, and various kinds of fruits; the middle altar table was placed with dishes, 20 bowls of rice and rice, and 20 wine glasses, and corresponding chopsticks and spoons; the outermost table in the main hall was a tea feast, with tea cups, pastries, etc. There is a passage between the tables to facilitate walking and worship. In addition, prepare a basin of gizzard meat, and each family must prepare three pieces of paper money, write down a certain name of a certain room, and uniformly give it to the owner of the house to beat into a bundle and place it on the table.
The sacrificial activities are presided over by the celebrant, who leads and guides the whole set of rituals, commonly known as the "shouting sacrifice". In addition, the representatives of the sacrifice are the main sacrifice of the grandson, the sub-sacrifice of the grandson, and the accompanying sacrifice of the grandchildren, and the main sacrifice is generally performed by the patriarch and other highly respected people, and the dedicated grandson participates in the ceremony of incense and food.
When the third sound was sounded, the celebrant, the chief priest, the sun who was sacrificed, and the grandson who accompanied the sacrifice were all seated, standing with reverence and reverence, and the scene was solemn and solemn. Under the induction of the emcee, first there was blood, because the first day of the first month of the first month was forbidden to kill, the deacon held a rooster, stabbed a needle in the red chicken crown, and dripped a few blood into the bowl. Then, the representative of the sacrifice bowed to the ancestral spiritual seat, and the celebrant shouted, "Kneel... bow...... prostrate...", and the crowd casually ordered them to bow down and prostrate.
Then, the crowd returned to their seats, washed (washed their hands) under the guidance of the celebrant, and before the incense case, they offered Sun Shangxiang to kneel and pray, holding a wine glass in salute, and pouring wine on the ground. The sacrificial representative prostrates himself and bows down, and then returns to his position. Then, the devotees knelt in front of the tea feast in shifts, and the deacon took up a bowl of sacrifice and handed it to the person kneeling in the first place, and the first person took the sacrifice, held it aloft three times, entered the first offering, and then passed the sacrifice to the next person, and each bowl of sacrifice on the table was to be offered one by one. After that, they prostrate themselves before the throne of Sun Yi and perform the ritual of offering wine, pouring wine on the ground.
The celebrant leads the offerings of grandchildren and accompanies the offerings from left to right to each table to bow and salute, which means to persuade the ancestors to cook. After that, the chief priest and grandson all bowed down, and the chief priest stood facing east and read the sacrifice text. The ritual text indicates the time of the sacrifice, the name of the chief priest, etc. For example, the beginning of the nine-year sacrifice of Daoguang reads: "Wei Da Qing Daoguang nine years old self ugly spring king Zhengyue Shuo Day Propyl Shen Liangdan, Guiyan main sacrifice heir Sun Mousheng ..." After the sacrifice text, it is written that the ancestor of the Guiyan Zhang clan, the ancestor of the distribution, and the ancestor of each house are examined.
The clan also had great respect for the ancestors of meritorious lords, and the emcee next read a large list of titles: "Woo-huh, the chronological order is easy, drowning and New Year's Day." I would like to show my meritorious ancestors in the style of animal liquor... Huguang Chuanyang Prefecture Judge Kui Shan Gong, Shandong Laizhou Fu Aoshan Wei WuXue Professor Xia Chuan Gong, Jiangxi Fuzhou Fu Linchuan County Teaching Yishan Gong ... Candidate for The Scholar's Heart... Yunnan Buzhengsi experienced the Duke of Dongya, the Duke of Fujian Jiangle County, the Duke of Bo Juyuan, the Duke of Zhi County, Gaozhou Prefecture, Guangdong Province, the Zhi County of Zhi County, Guangdong Province, and the Duke of Zhibai of Longquan County, Chuzhou... Huzhou Changxing County disciplined Lu Minggong... Still eating. ”
The Duke of Kuishan was Zhang Chong who opened the Guiyan Zhang clan's literary style; the Duke of Xiachuan was Zhang Qingyang, who advocated the rebuilding of the ancestral hall in the year of Ding Di in Longqing (1567); and zhang Hu, the linchuan priest of the same clan, Zhang Hu, also contributed a lot, and he helped the back garden of the ancestral hall.
By the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, there were frequent wars in Taishun, and the Guiyan Zhang Clan Ancestral Hall was dilapidated. In the year of Kangxi Bingyin (1686), Zhang Tianyou and others took the lead in rebuilding the ancestral hall, and Zhang Tianyou was a candidate for the study of The Duke of Boxin. In addition, the Duke of Dongya is Zhang Bolun, the Duke of Juyuan is Zhang Zhu, the Duke of Ridong is Zhang Gang, the Duke of Yibai is Zhang Wenying, and the Duke of Luming is Zhang Guobin, they either have titles, or they are people who have obtained meritorious names, or they are enthusiastic about the public welfare of the clan, so they are honored as meritorious lords. When worshipping the ancestors, they recite their names in order not to forget their ancestral merits, but also to use them as an example for reading and entering the world, encouraging the children of the clan to study hard and shine on the clan.
After the recitation of the altar text, the chief priest and grandson all bowed down and bowed down and returned to their seats. The celebrant instructed the devotees to kneel in front of the soup table in the middle and enter the offering with a ceremony similar to that of the first offering. After that, kneel at the altar table with the "three rites" and perform the same ritual to make the final offering. Then, the sacrifice representative coughed three times in the north direction, and invited the ancestors to enjoy the sacrifice. Then the sacrifice representatives are reset, offering tea to the ancestors, drinking blessings, receiving wine, sacrificing wine, drinking blessing wine, and receiving meat. Finally, bow to the ancestral spiritual seat, incinerate the sacrifice text, burn the paper money, remove the sacrifice, and the whole ancestor worship ceremony is over.
Confucian indoctrination on ancestral hall wine
The Ming Dynasty Wanli Wanli Eight-Year Compilation of the Three Kui "Zhang Clan Genealogy" records that New Year's Day "sacrifice, there are Yan (ancient Tong" feast), so the New Year's Day is also. It can be seen that during the Wanli period at the latest, the Guiyan Zhang Clan Ancestral Hall had the custom of holding banquets after the ancestor worship. This is also known as "ancestral hall wine", and the readers with meritorious titles or talents such as xiucai gather one or two seats to sit in the inner hall, while other clans sit in the outer hall. On the first day of the Chinese New Year, advocating vegetarianism, the banquet is generally rice cake vegetarian dishes, fruit cakes, etc., everyone sits according to the dignity and inferiority, drinks and drinks tea, and discusses the affairs of the clan. The so-called "drinking blessings and receiving the seeds", after the sacrifice of food is blessed by the ancestors, everyone gathers to feast, containing the expectation of bringing blessings to the ancestors.
After three rounds of wine, the gong and drummer stood up and beat the drum, "Bang bang bang...", the gong and drum struck twenty-four consecutive sounds, clear and agitated, meaning the beginning of the twenty-four solar terms, and when the Spring Festival was established in the first month, everything was renewed, and the clan should also correct their words and deeds, and greet the new spring with a new style. The patriarch selected a few people who had just passed the Gongsheng or Xiucai examinations to recite the clan precepts to show their honor and favor for the readers, and also to test his recitation skills.
When reciting the clan training, the people in the seat stood up and listened with bated breath, only to hear a loud and clear cheer in their ears: "Listen and listen, all who are sons will be filial to their relatives, those who are brothers will respect their brothers, and those who are wives will obey their husbands." These few "three musts" clan precepts are to teach the clan to be filial piety and friendship. To do this, we must strictly discipline ourselves and put an end to bad behavior. Therefore, the reader drank the word "listen" three times in a row, reminding the people to listen to him recite the "Six Noes" clan motto: "Do not be selfish to hinder the great righteousness, do not be lazy and read with absurd cultivation, do not indulge in extravagance to dry the heavenly constitution, do not use women's words to make peace, do not disturb the court, do not delay tillers to mess with nature..."
The tribesmen listened and sat down to eat vegetables and drink. After a while, the children of the patriarch's clan who were studying recited the words of admonition to men and women, and the people in the seat stood up again and listened carefully. The disciples recited the "Male Training" in unison: "The rise and fall of others is only the accumulation of good and evil." What is accumulation of goodness? Filial piety will be done at home, and there will be benevolence and forgiveness in all things, and all those who benefit others and goods are also. What is evil accumulation? Or bullying oneself to be weak, or deceiving others for self-interest, and so is all those who deceive heaven and man. Therefore, if you love your children and grandchildren, you will leave behind good, and if you do not love your children, you will leave behind evil. Don't you know that there will be a remnant of the house of goodness, and there will be a remnant of the house of the unwholesome, and the heavens are clear, and each should be deeply reflective. ”
Men are the pillars of the family, their good and evil deeds are directly related to the prosperity and decline of the family, the benevolent and wise people help others and goods, and the biggest legacy left to the children and grandchildren is the accumulated "good virtue".
The woman holds up half of the sky in the house, and the old saying goes: "The family has a virtuous wife, and the man does not have a bad affair." "Guiyan Zhang deliberately formulated the "Female Training" to clarify the way of virtuousness. The disciples then recited the Women's Precepts: "The sum and discord of the family are the merits of the woman." What is Sage? Uncles and aunts treat their uncles with filial piety, treat their masters with obedience, treat concubines with gentleness, and receive their children and grandchildren with kindness. Inside and outside, so are called virtuous. What is unwise? Arrogant uncles, disobedient masters, bullying concubines, cruel servants, slanderous words, chaotic right and wrong, all of which are unwise. Whew, the way of heaven is very close, and the retribution is very fast, and those who are women must not be afraid. "Virtuous women teach their children to make the family harmonious, and the family is a small unit of society, and the family is harmonious with the clan." After the disciples had finished reciting the admonition, the patriarch loudly stressed that the people in the seat should remember the admonition. These family rules all imply the path of filial piety and benevolence pursued by Confucianism, and are also the cornerstone of rural harmony and prosperity.
Raise blessing rice, make Lantern Blessing, and spend the Year
Harmonious and beautiful scenery can be seen everywhere in the countryside of the first month. Since the second day of the Chinese New Year, the villagers of Sankui Zhangzhai have begun to organize folk activities to welcome the Spring Festival. The villagers chose an auspicious day to send a post to the recess of Xuezhai Village to welcome the Five Emperors and the King of the Drama God. Legend has it that in ancient times, the wang beggar in the puppet show in Xuezhai Village often came out of the box, disguised as a yellow-clad child to play in the village, and sometimes went to the small shop of Yinggang shop to ask for something to eat. The owner of the drama is to reward the villagers, and in the first month, he provides the drama to perform in the village, and the grain in Xuezhai Village is abundant, taiping and happy. In the hearts of the townspeople, Wang Beglao is the embodiment of taiping auspiciousness, and when doing lantern blessings, he must invite the drama god Wang Beglao. When setting up the stage, a table of eight immortals was deliberately placed in front, three gifts were placed, candles were lit and incense was lit, and the gods of the play were enshrined.
The villagers invited the puppet show team to sing the "firewood play" for many days, and the puppet shows staged were all popular plays of the Taishun people, such as "Chen Fourteen Niangniang Collects Demons", "Water Flooding the Golden Mountain", "True and False Monkey King" and so on. At the beginning of the performance, the gongs and drums behind the scenes sounded, and the artists carried the puppet model to the front of the stage, led one by one, sang and played, and gave the puppet a soul. On the stage, there are both shy young ladies whispering with low eyebrows, as well as military generals with flags on their backs turning over and dancing guns; there are classic movements of the Monkey King holding a canoe to look into the distance, and there are also Jigong shaking a fan to make a witty expression of rolling his eyes and smacking his mouth.
The puppet artist sometimes sings the lyrics in a rounded tone, and sometimes reads a few slang foul words, especially when he carries Wang Beglao's dialogue in Taishun dialect, which often causes the whole hall to laugh. The audience gathered together, and some old people covered the fire cage and sat on the bench brought by their own home, sitting for half a day. Children are as naughty and active as the Monkey King on stage, watching the drama carefully with their grandparents for a while, running to the front with their hands on the edge of the stage to listen to the play, sneaking behind the scenes to watch the artists play and sing, and then jumping to the stalls such as dumplings and candy to buy snacks and eat.
One of the activities that the whole village rejoices in during the first month is the Lantern Festival, and several fushou have prepared for this grand event early. In the early days, Sankui Zhangzhai Village chose a fushou every ten years, such as after the lantern fu luncheon of the Year of The Decay, the villagers wrote "Jiazi" and "B Ugly" on the paper pieces respectively for ten years, and some of the paper pieces only wrote the words "Taiping" and so on, which was an empty cast. They distributed the pieces of paper and empty lots of the year to the tables in proportion, and the people in the table grabbed the casts according to their luck, and if they drew the "nail" year, it meant that he was the head of the Lantern Festival next year, and if it was ugly, it was the year after.
Everyone registered the name and year of the person who caught the caster on the cardboard, each looking for a partner of the same year, and many people drew a piece of paper with the word "Nails" written on them at the same time, and they were all the blessings of the Lantern Feast in the Year of the First Year. Next, these Fu first raised a few domestic pigs, called "Raising Fu Pigs", and selected a few fields to plant "Fu Rice" and "Fu Cai". The rice cake is used to welcome the blessing of the gods at the Lantern Festival of the coming year, in order to show the heart of piety and purity, the rice and vegetable seedlings in Tanaka do not apply feces and urine, do not spray pesticides, let it grow naturally, and harvest it with fate. After the winter solstice, they use the glutinous rice they harvest to make fuku sake.
At the beginning of the first lunar month, several Fushou took baskets and account books to each household in the village to "raise blessing rice". After the villagers knew their intentions, they took a few liters of rice from the rice jar and poured them into the basket, and then handed Fushou some banknotes, and Fushou recorded them in the account book one by one accordingly. Different from the Hundred Family Feast that is now open to the outside world, at that time, making Lantern Blessings was limited to the people of the same village, and all the surnames in the village could raise blessing rice and eat blessing feasts.
In fact, many villages in Taishun have similar customs, such as the Lantern Blessing that is passed down from year to year in Huapingtou Village, Da'an Township, at first it also adopted the way of "raising blessing rice" from door to door, using hundreds of rice to make hundreds of rice, healthy and blessed after eating, it combines the blessings of hundreds of families and condenses the wishes of hundreds of families. The amount of money and money is more about the ritual than on the amount of money. Most of the time to do Spring Blessing, the head of the blessing is to paste rice money upside down, but despite this, many villagers still compete to be the head of the blessing, which is to do good deeds and accumulate blessings. It is said that the first spring blessing is blessed by the gods, can win a good color, everything went smoothly that year, too safe and healthy, and the fortune is prosperous.
Around the thirteenth day of the first month, several Fu shou were busy purchasing ingredients, preparing dishes and chopsticks, and going to various households in the village to borrow tables and stools and arrange the blessing banquet venues. On the day of the Lantern Festival, the lanterns in Zhangzhai Village were colorful, and the village gate tower and the palace temple were affixed with festive and auspicious red couplets. At noon, the villagers gathered together to share the blessing feast, they could refuse other banquets, but they would not be absent from the feast, because everyone wanted to dip some "blessings" and pray for a year of peace and well-being. The Lantern Feast is much more lively and abundant than the ancestral hall wine on the first day of the first lunar month, and there are a variety of mountain treasures and sea flavors on the Luo Chen table, there are oily and fragrant fried rice cakes, braised braised meat with color and aroma, and assorted dishes with a group of vegetables...
On this day, folk activities are wonderful, and the villagers go to the Linshui Palace in Guishan to burn incense and make wishes, and use palanquins to carry the idol of Chen Fourteen Niangniang out of the palace and step on the street. Dragon dance and other lantern dance performance teams celebrate along the door, and villagers either put incense at the door to greet them, or accompany them with incense sticks, and the joyful and noisy drum music prompts the footsteps of the New Year.
The Qing Dynasty Guiyan Zhang clan township sage literati also actively participated in the Lantern Festival activities, they gathered at the Zhang Clan Ancestral Hall to admire the lanterns, watch fireworks, drink and write poetry. Zhang Tianyou in "Shangyuan Yuji Ji Ancestral Hall To See the Lamp Presents the Sacred Domain, No Brothers of Competition":
The rain and snow of the years are like ten years, and the New Year's Eve is new.
Heaven is a festival of victory for the masses, and people can sit idly and bear the good day.
After chasing after Jin Kun, the Ju clan looked at Yushu.
Under the lantern orchestra temple, Yongyong enjoys a spring together.
In the ancestral hall, colorful lights hang from trees, the orchestra is melodious, and the clan is full of harmony and music. The most rare thing is to encounter the Lantern Night of "Returning Flowers year", or to return the wish, the flowers returned are Qionghua puppets (medicine hair puppets). In the past, the living conditions in the countryside were not very superior and convenient, unlike today's Sankui who would set off medicine puppets every time they held a hundred family banquets, and it was almost ten years before they had the opportunity to see the brilliant Qionghua, and most of them were in the year when Tiangan was "A". The townspeople prayed to Lady Chen fourteen for peace, good wind and rain, and promised to set off one or two fireworks for her in a certain year.
In the year when the promise was made, it was the "Year of Returning Flowers", and the villagers invited artists from Da'an or Yayang to erect flowers and trees on the grounds. When night falls and the full moon rises, the villagers come in pairs, gathered around the flowers and trees, waiting for the moment when the flames erupt. The artist ignites the line of fire, and the instantaneous flowers and trees bloom one by one from bottom to top, some fly like shooting stars, some white like pear blossoms, some as bright as peach blossoms... Purple and red, dazzling. The puppet box hanging on the flower tree was urged by the fire, and the puppets such as Tang Monk, Sha Monk, and Jiang Taigong bounced out, dancing and flying, like immortals dancing neon clothes and sprinkling the star rain. When the fireworks reach the top of the flower tree, the phoenix spins rapidly, the flames are everywhere, the audience cheers continuously, and the pupils of the eyes are full of sparkling sparks.
Nowadays, the ancestral hall wine and lantern spring blessing in Sankui and other places have developed into a grand and spectacular hundred family banquet, with the blessings of a hundred families, the customs of a hundred families, the treasures of a hundred families, and the hearts of a hundred families, attracting tourists from inside and outside the county to come to the banquet and watch the wind. As a poem "Taishun Hundred Family Feast":
The south of the town and the north of the town are all happy, but the crowd of guests gathered in the hall.
The spring steps are not expected to dance with music, and the lucky stars are now illuminated.
The mountain city is rich in treasures, and the home is thick and fragrant.
Enjoy the prosperous scenery of the countryside, as brilliant as the neon light of the fire tree.
