Carrying cane to the top of the "disaster" to eat nine heavy kun old Fuzhou recruited Fu Narui in this way

Fuzhou News Network, October 15 (Fuzhou Daily reporter Wu Hui) The Chongyang Festival is approaching, and Fuzhou has attached great importance to this festival since ancient times. So, does Fuzhou have a unique Chongyang traditional custom? "Yes!" Yesterday, when the reporter interviewed Zheng Ziduan, an expert on Folklore in Fuzhou, he got a positive answer. During the interview, Zheng Ziduan told reporters about the unique Chongyang traditional customs of old Fuzhou.

Chongyang ascends to the heights, and Fuzhou also has this traditional custom, but unlike other places, the old Fuzhou Chongyang often carries sugar cane when ascending. Zheng Ziduan said: "This is the meaning of taking sugarcane 'higher and higher', pinning people's hope that the days are getting more and more prosperous, and the children will grow tall and grow up quickly." ”

In the traditional customs of Fuzhou, Chongyang day is not only a festival for the elderly, but also a day for young and old to enjoy together, and Zheng Ziduan will follow Yigong (grandfather) to climb the mountain on this day in Chongyang when he was a child. When the grandson ascends the mountain, the grandson walks behind the Yigong, pushes the Yigong with both hands to help the old man go up the mountain; when he goes down the mountain, the grandson walks in front of the Yigong, when the old man's "crutch".

Zheng Ziduan told reporters that at that time, the traffic was inconvenient, Chongyang ascended, and the "city people" (around the Drum Tower) chose the nearby Wushan and Yushan, and the people in the Taijiang area climbed Damiao Mountain, and Yantai Mountain was the first choice for residents in the Cangshan area. Zheng Ziduan, who grew up in Sanfang And Seven Alleys, when he was a child, the most frequented places to go on this day in Chongyang were Wushan and Yushan. However, at that time, the most popular ascent point was the Great Temple Mountain, because there was originally an "ascending stone", and it was rumored that on the day of Chongyang, the child would grow fast and grow tall, and the old man would prolong his life. When Zheng Ziduan was a child, Feng Chongyang also followed YiGong to climb the Great Temple Mountain, and he also remembered that due to the large number of people ascending, small traders saw business opportunities, and set up many small stalls along the way, peddling all kinds of small people and small animals made of mud, as long as the children opened their mouths, adults would generally gladly "pay the bill".

Putting "disaster" (Fuzhou language, "kite" and "paper harrier") is another highlight of old Fuzhou Chongyang. Zheng Lisheng, a fuzhou folk culture giant in the late Qing Dynasty and early Ming Dynasty, once left such a poem: "Gossamer is exposed to the clouds, and the paper harrier is dried on the top of Wushi Mountain." Ingenuity is not tired of seeing, Andon loves nine rings the most. "It depicts the lively scene of paper harriers in Chongyang, Fuzhou at that time. According to reports, in the customs of old Fuzhou, Chongyang put "disasters" with the meaning of driving away disasters and avoiding evil spirits, taking the meaning of "disasters" flying away from the broken line and destroying disasters.

Among the traditional festivals and customs of Fuzhou, there are many customs related to eating. Chongyang is no exception, the old Fuzhou in Chongyang on this day to eat nine heavy kun, this is a kind of pastry, in the Fuzhou dialect "high" and "cake" harmonic sound, so Chongyang eat nine heavy kun is indispensable. As the name suggests, the nine-layered kun is as long as nine layers, because of the cumbersome production, in the old days, only Chongyang could eat it.

Zheng Ziduan still remembers that the nine-fold rice dumplings he ate when he was a child were still planted with small colorful paper flags, and he said: "This is the memory of Chongyang and the memory of Fuzhou, and now that I think about it, I am still very happy and beautiful!" ”
