The years are silent, and the days are turned page by page. No, the Dragon Boat Festival is coming, and the dragon boat event in the Pearl River Delta is about to be staged.
On May 17, Daliang Gujian Village successfully started the dragon.
The key step before the event is the dragon. Recently, the villages and residences in Shunde staged a dragon drama, digging out the dragon boats sealed in the river mud, cleaning and praying for blessings.
On May 17, the neighbors watched the dragon ceremony.
Early in the morning of May 17, the villagers of Gujian Village, Daliang, came to Gujianyong, a tributary of the "Mother River" of Daliang, as agreed. Amid the sound of gongs and drums, everyone worked together to place dragon heads, sacrifices, and prepare ropes and wooden sticks.
On May 17, the villagers pulled the "dragon" in the water hard.
Their mission is to "wake up" the 40-year-old dragon boat.
At about 9 o'clock, several villagers had gradually "figured out" the dragon boat and tied the ropes in the water. Afterwards, the underwater villagers inserted wooden sticks under the dragon boat and pried the boat upwards, while the villagers on the shore used ropes to pull the dragon boat forward in unison. Then, the underwater villagers gradually cleared the stagnant water...... When the hull of the dragon boat is all floated, it is not far from the completion of the great achievement.
On May 17, the villagers pulled the "dragon" in the water hard.
The dragon needs to be completed by the villagers in the same direction and unity.
Rising is just the beginning. Afterwards, the villagers will also clean, test row, and maintain the dragon boats to fully prepare for the Dragon Boat Festival.
Clean up the silt and river water in the dragon boat.
The whole process is orderly, and the "rigidity" of the villagers and the "softness" of the water are vividly displayed at this moment.
To start the dragon, we need everyone to cooperate and unite.
The white horse passes through the gap, and those folk traditions written in time and engraved on the earth always comfort you and me in a hurry at the right time.
Ms. Hu from another province and her children watched, "I really didn't know that the dragon boat was buried under the water before, and the dragon is really interesting and ritualistic." ”
Flowers are used as evidence to continue to inherit folk culture.
On the bank of Gujianyong, the canna blooms gorgeously, and the phoenix flowers sway in the wind.
They silently watched the relay of human folk culture: many young people in Gujian Village took the initiative to form a "partner" with the elders to complete this ritual-filled dragon activity together.
The neighborhood watched the dragon.
To polish the brand of a famous historical and cultural city, Foshan is striving to activate the "Ten Traditional Cultures" including dragon boat culture.
Inheriting traditional culture and doing a good job in young people is a key part. In recent years, Daliang Gujian has actively gathered the power of youth to create a "Youth Gujian" and explore the way forward for the inheritance of traditional culture.
Everyone is working together.
"In this activity, a number of young volunteers participated in the event to inject young strength into the inheritance of traditional culture." He Junxu, the dragon boat manager of Sanxiang Mansion in Gujian Village, said, "I look forward to the next dragon boat activities, and more young people in the village will participate." ”
The success of the dragon is just the "foreplay" of the Dragon Boat Festival folk activities.
