Wuchuan people's "age complex"?

The New Year Festival is a unique folk festival custom in western Guangdong, especially in Zhanjiang and Maoming. In some places, the Spring Festival is more lively than the Spring Festival. Wu Chuan has a saying that every holiday is "rich" (lively) for the Chinese New Year.

Wuchuan's New Year's Eve dinner is very famous in western Guangdong.

The word "nian" means about an annual established festival. According to historical records, Wuchuan used to be hit by typhoons, tides and floods, and the disaster was serious. Because of its low resistance, people have to pray for God's blessing and worship regularly every year, which makes them adults. A village usually lasts only one year, mostly in spring and autumn and around the winter solstice. Generally speaking, the chronology is based on the lunar calendar. In Wuchuan, only six communities in Bopu Street all set a unified calendar of 65438+ 1.

In rural areas, there will also be a parade of honor guards with floating colorful flags around the village.

Because a village or a surname has only one year, and different public holidays such as the Spring Festival are unique, the surnames of each village pay more attention to the year. Every year, every village engages in festive activities, which are more lively than the Spring Festival. Many people who go out to work or do business may not go home during the Spring Festival, but most of them come back while they are busy.

Celebrations and banquets in the past were called "Celebrating the New Year". In the past, most celebrations were performed during the day, and people were invited to sing folk songs at night, or movies, firecrackers and fireworks were shown, cultural and sports activities were held, and friends and relatives were invited to have dinner and drink all night. Now the annual festival in Wuchuan is more colorful and lively. They not only put up doorplates and decorated with lanterns at the entrance of the village, but also the village bosses donated 100,000 yuan and millions to invite top domestic players to play basketball, invited famous singers and Cantonese opera troupes or celebrities to perform, invited mobile guards of honor to patrol the village or invited high-stakes lions to dance lions. The small village attracted friends and guests from all over the world. The whole village is full of people, singing and dancing, and it is very lively. It was really a "New Year's Day". Even small vendors know how to make new year's goods. They have accurate annual schedules in every village. As soon as the calendar arrived, they delivered drinks, fruits, seafood, meat dishes, dishes and other commodities to the door in advance, which facilitated the masses and made a fortune. Every year, chefs are busy taking orders, especially some famous chefs. It is difficult to get them without making an appointment in advance. Year-on-year samples even make prices soar, and the market appears impatient and active, forming a unique year-on-year sample economy. In Wuchuan, you will also see a unique annual phenomenon-if the roadside is filled with colorful boxed drinks and fruits like a brick wall, or someone takes boxed drinks and fruits to eat, it must be the annual period.

In addition to the festive activities seen in the "annual regulations", Wuchuan's "annual regulations" (inviting relatives and friends to hold an annual banquet) is even more famous. The annual banquet is the highlight of Wuchuan's annual banquet. People in Wuchuan, who are eager for success, love saving face and comparing with others, pay special attention to the "performance" of New Year's Eve. They are willing to earn money all year round and spend one or two banquets with friends and relatives. It is common for foreman bosses and wealthy families to spend tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of yuan to entertain one or two hundred people. The purpose of making annual regulations is to attract more relatives and friends to catch up with the excitement. The more people eat the annual regulations, the more beautiful the cars parked at the door, and the more officials and VIPs invited, the more face they have. You only need to send a message to eat the New Year's Eve, you don't need to send an invitation, and guests don't need a gift. Some wealthy families even give "red envelopes" to relatives and friends who eat New Year's Eve. Some people have food, clothes and money. Why not make a law? As a result, many people will come every time, uninvited, and will also invite friends to entertain the host. The host spent enough money to earn popularity, and it was too late to be happy. He thinks all the guests are "respectable" and "respectable", so the host will only complain that you don't come, regardless of who you are, do you know? As long as there are many people, you feel decent, so many people make a joke of "I don't know who to invite after eating the annual regulations."

Where the roadside is full of colorful boxed drinks and fruits like brick walls, or someone takes boxed drinks and fruits to eat, it must be time.

Wuchuan people are hospitable and generous, and holiday banquets are quite famous in western Guangdong. There are no banquets twice a year. Every banquet has one or twenty courses. In addition to traditional fried chicken, fish balls, loin rolls, eight-treasure rice and spiced pork, cashews, rare mushrooms, white fructose, prawns, water fish, sea cucumbers, scallops, pomfrets and so on. It is common to spend one or two thousand yuan on each banquet. Wuchuan's New Year's Eve dinner is amazing and rich, and there is no other place in western Guangdong. In addition, Wuchuan's chefs are skilled in cooking, and all kinds of delicious colors, flavors and shapes are excellent, which makes people relish, "eat and want to eat" (eat and want to eat).

The liveliness of Wuchuan's annual festivals can be compared with that of the Spring Festival. In some places, the festival is even very "strong", because the Spring Festival is mostly a family reunion, and at most two or three episodes can be held. In some large families, there are often more than a dozen sets, and friends and relatives are invited to hold banquets. Of course, the atmosphere is more lively than a family.

Lantern Festival is the most concentrated and lively season in Wuchuan, among which Lu Mei's large-scale lively Lantern Festival celebrations and annual activities have long been famous in western Guangdong. During the Lantern Festival from the 14th to 18th of the first month of each year, it is an annual event in Meilong and its surrounding areas such as Wayao, Haige, Getang, Meiling and Meilong. They have always had the habit of making Lantern Festival and making annual regulations. At this time of year, these communities and villages will make clay sculptures, build flower bridges, archways and flower pagodas, and make fluttering colors for people to watch from the Lantern Festival on the fifteenth day of the first month. On the 16th and 17th of the first month, they also organized thousands of honor guards, floats and folk art teams to March around the city, attracting hundreds of thousands of people from all over the country every year, forming a famous brand and a unique annual culture of celebrating the Lantern Festival in Wuchuan.

After the Lantern Festival parade, Lu Mei and other places held a grand banquet, inviting relatives and friends to eat New Year's Eve. During the Lantern Festival, you can not only enjoy the "three wonders" of Wuchuan Quyi, such as flower bridge, clay sculpture and floating colors, but also watch the Quyi parade in Meilong, and have a delicious and sumptuous New Year's Eve dinner with friends, where you can eat, drink and have fun for free. "Wuchuan really had nothing to celebrate in the past."
