Fire temple fortune-telling _ fortune-telling fire

As long as I can remember, Vulcan was the first fairy to enter my mind. It can be said that he was the first fairy I saw, understood and knelt down!

I didn't know what feudal superstition was when I was a child. I just heard the old man tell a story about monsters. The first one is the story of Vulcan, saying that Vulcan is a kind fairy who teaches people to fight demons with fire to protect the happiness and well-being of the people. Every year on the sixth day of the first month, the village holds a grand ceremony to welcome Vulcan. A huge paper Vulcan grandfather is carried out from the Vulcan temple in the east of the village and finally into the village. All the adults and children present should kowtow and bow down. The village will set up a stage in a large open space, with various performances, snacks, shouting and selling, which should be the most lively party in Wuzhuang near Li Sanhe. When I was a child, I only remembered that there was delicious food and fun on this day. I felt that Vulcan was really a good man, so that I could eat delicious food and catch up with my grandfather as a leader. I also performed a program on the stage, just for a specific performance.

When I grew up, I realized that this was just a form of rural gathering, belonging to a folk activity with regional characteristics, not a feudal superstition activity. Moreover, it seems that the activity of offering sacrifices to Vulcan is only available in our village, and I have met friends from many places, but they have no such traditional activities. But there's one thing I just learned recently. I said it was feudal superstition, but my mother insisted on saying no.

A few days ago, I went back to my hometown to do business. I sat in the yard and chatted with my mother when I had time. It was a fine day with plenty of sunshine, so it was comfortable to bask in the sun in the yard. "When will you come back this New Year?" My mother asked, "It is estimated that it will be 28 or 9 at the end of the year." I ate melon seeds and replied, "When shall I go back?" My mother asked again, "Let's finish the second grade." I promised, "Then you can't attend the Vulcan meeting this year." My mother bowed her head and said, I don't know if my mother believes in Vulcan. Or do you want me to join? I didn't ask, "There are things to go back," I said, "Mom, how many years have you believed in Vulcan? Is it very old? " I suddenly asked excitedly, "not many years, it was only when I was a child, and it has been 50 years." My mother said, "Huh? I think this is a very old activity. This has just started, so I won't go, "I said with some disappointment. "Then why did you suddenly start offering sacrifices to Vulcans?" I asked, and my mother told me a story.

Half a century ago, there was no reform and opening up. According to what I have learned, it was a special time. For the countryside, the mind is not completely open, and there are still many seeds of feudal superstition or ignorance, one of which sprouted in our village.

One winter half a century ago, there was a fairy named Xianpo in the village. Some people say that she is playing tricks, others say that she is effective, and opinions vary. Suddenly, one night, Xianpo went out naked and went straight to the village radio station. No one saw her at midnight. She came to the radio station and turned on the speaker. "I am Vulcan," said the fairy. I came down to bless one side. Your village is a sacred place. I will stay here forever. Build me a place to live and give me incense, and I will bless you. " Later, I heard that there were more and more people and the village was not big. Everyone got up in a hurry and rushed to the village radio station. When I saw it, Xianpo was still talking in her light coat, as if she were chanting. "Fairy, what are you doing?" Don't sleep at night "The village chief cried, and the fairy fell to the ground. A group of people rushed forward and told her not to wake up. Then a group of people carried her home and found a female director to watch Xianpo. The village head called an emergency meeting. Some people say that Xianpo is sleepwalking, so don't worry. Some people say that it may be possessed by gods; Some people say that Xianpo is playing tricks. Just throw a basin of water on her face. Everything was said, and everyone chattered and didn't discuss a unified idea. The meeting ended at midnight and everyone went home.

The next day, Xianpo woke up normally and got up to meet the director of women at home and several neighbors. She was startled. "Why are you in my house? What are you doing? " The women's director told her what happened last night, but she completely forgot it. She just feels a little sick. The fairy told them all to go back and rest by themselves. Xianpo didn't sleep at home herself. After getting up, she pinched her fingers and closed her practice. Finally, she murmured, "It doesn't matter if I say it, fairy, please choose another place."

The next night, the same thing happened again, but this time Xianpo remembered. Fairy said that Vulcan possessed herself just to tell everyone that she wanted to have a place to live and hoped that everyone could build a temple for him. He will bless us and tell many stories about Vulcan and its origin. The story I heard was probably the story told by the fairy at that time. The village chief and several village cadres don't believe it, and they think that Xianpo. She didn't catch it, and now it's even worse, but the villagers don't think so. A few days later, Xianpo told the story of Vulcan from door to door and asked everyone to donate money to build a temple. Xianpo took out all her savings, and slowly, everyone in the village believed her. The village head can't stand the whole village, but he is afraid to report it. He can only do some singing and selling things, saying that it belongs to the whole village.

After that, the forms became more and more diversified, the scale of the assembly became larger and larger, and it tended to be systematic, and it also applied for special folk activities.

When we finished the story, I was shocked. "Who is the fairy? I want to talk to her and ask her to tell my fortune. " I smiled and said, "It's long gone. It won't take long for Vulcan to be completed in the first year, so it's gone and buried next to the Vulcan Temple. " My mother said.

"ah? ! Did Vulcan really appear? ! "I looked at my mother and said, my mother smiled and said nothing.
