Brief introduction of worship custom in February and Chaoshan Spring Festival

The third is to let the owner get back on the sedan chair and cruise the countryside. This cruise includes "Wenlv" and "Wulv".

"Wen You" is a splendid "Wen Jiao" made of golden knee woodcarving. Please enter the palace after the sacrificial ceremony. It is carried by young people who are selected in their prime of life, and there are plaques such as "XX Chief Patrol", "Silence" and "Avoidance" on the front, just like ancient officials patrolling.

In some places, young and strong villagers also provoked the burden of red firecrackers wrapped in fruitful shapes. After lighting them, they sprinted in front of the old man's sedan chair, followed by a ceremonial band, commonly known as beating gongs and drums, patrolling the streets and lanes of the village, marching around the village boundaries and returning to the temple (patrolling the palace).

The "cultural tour" of the hipsters is to entertain the gods, and flags, flower baskets, gongs and drums, and bands are all deployed. Accompanied by the military parade is a huge guard of honor, including song and dance team, national flag team, costume drama team, animal dance team, gongs and drums team and so on. The flag team is the protagonist, and song and dance are the pioneers of the prelude, which is called exorcism to avoid ghosts and create an atmosphere; Dancing dressed as scholars and animals is ornament and entertainment; Big gongs and drums are a foil, a cry.

The flag team is a major attraction of wandering gods. Flags are divided into three types: big flag, ancient flag and Zhonglian flag. They are gorgeous in shape and are the essence of Chaozhou embroidery. This flag is 20 feet long and 8 feet wide. The flag is embroidered with dragon and white tiger, which is magnificent. It is supported by eight strong men. Those who can choose to hold the flag are all local handsome men, dressed in robes, majestic and striding.

Zhonglian Biao is only over ten feet long and about five feet wide. It consists of dozens of faces connected into a winding team, with a young girl leaning sideways and a middle-aged woman gently supporting the standard tail behind. The girl carrying the flag is the most beautiful in the village. They are tall, graceful, beautiful and graceful, especially when bidding for the first time. The middle-aged belle who signs the tail is gentle and lovely, sexy and elegant, gorgeous and generous, walking leisurely and swaying gently, which often fascinates the viewer.

The ancient flag array is another scene. What is striking is that man is not a banner, but consists of five people, who are the images of gold, wood, water, fire and earth. Five men are tall and mighty men, wearing sunglasses, thick black snuff on their cheeks, slanting soap clothes, eyebrows tied to their waists, bells tied to their feet, and copper shoes on their feet, jingling step by step, smoking, chewing meat and drinking while walking.

The ancient flag on the shoulder is a rolled-up colorful flag with the Big Dipper on it. The colors are blue, black, white, red and yellow, representing the east, the gold in the west, the water in the north, the soldiers in the south and the infinite soil in the middle respectively. Magnificent momentum.

The drum band during worship is also very distinctive. In some villages, hundreds of beautiful young women were selected and trained to form a flute team. Under the command of the drummer, Chaozhou music was played, which made God happy, and God enjoyed the harvest and prayed for the New Year.

"Una" means that after the worship ceremony, the owner was invited to the "Pentagon" and fixed the statue on the altar with red silk. During the parade, people in sedan chairs should support themselves with their hands, sprint and rush, run out of the alley in the village, run out of Tian Yang, patrol the village boundaries and return to the temple. In fact, "martial arts tour" means "using God", which is to drive out evil tenants with God's "divine power", bring good luck to the villagers and benefit the people.

Some people wander in the countryside, with literary tours and martial arts tours, some people only have literary tours without martial arts tours, and some people only have martial arts tours without literary tours. For example, Mianhu Youshen, Gong Team of Class 48, 48 Society, asked God on the 13th day of the first month, asked Wen on the 14th day of the first month, and asked Wen on the 15th day of the first month, commonly known as "Walking on An Street". At that time, the whole Mianhu town will be crowded with people, and the people will be on the rampage, which is very lively.

Wandering God is the most distinctive cultural activity of Chaoshan God, and it is also a typical harmonious cultural activity in Chaoshan area. During the Spring Festival, the Chaoshan God Touring Competition is not only a form of folk entertainment in the local old countryside, but also a large-scale folk carnival.
