壬寅上巳, LuoFu Xiu Zen. On the afternoon of April 3, the Luofu Mountain Scenic Area held a cultural gathering of the Shangwei Festival. In the form of exhibitions, the collection combines traditional cultural elements such as poetry chanting, guzheng performance, tea ceremony and incense ceremony, bringing a visual feast and spiritual enjoyment to tourists and friends.
It is reported that the Xiuyu Festival, also known as the "Shangwei Festival", is an ancient custom that originated in the Zhou Dynasty and flourished in the Wei and Jin Dynasties. The ancient custom is called "Qi", that is, to remove sickness and ominousness. According to legend, people meet at the water's edge on the third day of the third month of the third lunar month to bathe and sacrifice to pray for blessings and avoid disasters; the literati inkers compose the game of water flow. During the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Wang Xizhi and some nobles composed the "Xiu Zen" meeting, sitting next to Qushui, serving wine, placing it on the water, and improvising many poems.
On the day of the event, a washing ceremony was held. The participants each walked to the edge of the stream with a bunch of artemisia annua, wormwood and wicker herbs, soaked the bundles of herbs in flowing water, and waved them on their hands and bodies to dispel the ominousness and dispel the disaster and pray for blessings. Nowadays, the epidemic is not over, with the bouquet of herbs of artemisia annua and wormwood sprinkling the body, hoping that everything will be renewed, the old disease will be cured, and the epidemic will end.
Luo Fu Xiu Zen, flowing poetry. The on-site personnel showed their talents and actively integrated, and traditional cultural elements such as guqin and guzheng, calligraphy and painting were put into battle, or chanted or sighed, and put into poetry, reproducing the grand scene of "repairing Zen" described by the great calligrapher Wang Xizhi in the collection of "Orchid Pavilion Preface" a thousand years ago.
According to reports, the traditional folk festival of "Xiu Yu Festival" held in the Luofu Mountain Scenic Area is a deep excavation of history and culture, a bold attempt to keep pace with the times, to absorb the positive factors of ancient and modern Chinese and foreign cultures with an open vision and mentality, to combine tradition and fashion, to innovate the form of festivals, to enrich the content of festivals, and to meet the needs of modern people's spiritual and cultural life.
It is understood that in history, Luofu Mountain, Huizhou West Lake and other places have carried out literati repair activities, although in modern times the cultivation of this activity is still poor, but although the cultivation of Zen is far away, the afterglow is still leisurely. Luofu Mountain also has no shortage of historical traces of the ancient literati's cultivation activities, and inscriptions such as "Xiu zen" and "PanXia" in the Huanglong Cave Cliff carving group can imagine the scene of the literati drinking and writing poetry here at that time, and meeting to drink each other.
