In Taiwan Province Province, we can get a general idea of the Lantern Festival in Taiwan Province Province in the early Qing Dynasty from Gao Gonggan's Annals of Taiwan Province Province (1696): Lantern Festival is on the tenth day of the Lantern Festival, with lanterns hanging outside the door for more than fifteen nights. Don't be idle for a few generations to enjoy songs, make lights like flying hoods, one person walks with the lead, and the silk and bamboo play second; It's called "making an umbrella" Some even dress up as Zhaojun, dancing, dragon and horse, write songs to celebrate auspicious events, and know slang words in the local language, not the original songs; How thick is the host as a reward. The shrine is all an extension of the Taoist temple, which is designed to pray for peace; It's over. Welcome God. After the reception, a wine temple will be set up and the community will gather to drink; It's called food supply. Usually within a few days, Anthurium will be in the area. There is also a giant who wins or loses with a mouse gun and burns clothes and shoes. This kind of record is similar to the festival customs in the Central Plains. But when Hu Jianwei compiled Biography of Penghu (1759), we could see that the local characteristics of Taiwan Province Province gradually formed: lanterns were placed in temples, and men and women went out, which was called watching lanterns. There are flowers in the temple, and men and women have children. They prayed for a cup before God, got a flower or an "Asian doll", and then went home to offer sacrifices. If they are trapped, they will make flowers and figures as a reward at the Lantern Festival next year. It's a night outing for men and women, and stealing is a good omen. A daughter who has nothing to say will steal other people's leeks. As the saying goes: steal onions and marry a good man; Steal vegetables and marry a good husband. An incomparable man, stealing ancient stones from his wall. As the saying goes, stealing the old makes a good wife. Another woman was cursed for stealing someone to feed the pig basin, which is a good omen for a man and also the anniversary of Ji Qingyun. The custom of stealing midnight snack in the Yuan Dynasty is the same as that in Suzuki's Old Customs of Mid-year Crown Wedding and Funeral Festival in Taiwan Province (1934). Only according to Suzuki's records, the stolen vegetables can't be taken home and must be put in the original place. Women who want to have children will secretly pull out other people's bamboo fences as a good omen, because "bamboo fences" are homophonic with "having children" in Taiwanese. Another custom of beggars in Lantern Festival is "crossing the lamp feet". It is said that a woman who wants to have children is expected to have a boy as long as she passes the light. There is also the custom of "listening to incense" on the fifteenth day of the first month. The way to listen to incense is to burn incense and throw barnacles before God. After asking about the direction of my trip, I eavesdropped on other people's conversations on the road, and then according to what I heard, I threw a fortune to God to predict the good or bad this year. Sacrificing Master Tan Xuan is also a unique custom of Taiwan Province Lantern Festival. Lord Tan Xuan is also known as Marshal Tan Xuan and Lord Hanshan. According to legend, Zhao Gongming, a military attache of Shang Dynasty, became rich because he was good at managing money, and the people respectfully called him Wu Caishen. The statue of Lord Tan Xuan was tied to a bamboo pole and carried by four naked men. It is said that Master Tan Xuan was afraid of the cold, so people threw firecrackers to drive him away from the cold. It is generally believed that the more firecrackers are blown, the more prosperous the fortune will be that year. Therefore, the place where the sedan chair is located is often the target of firecrackers, and the girl in the sedan chair is also blown to pieces. Similar to the "Master Tan Xuan Bombing" and on a larger scale, it is the famous saltwater bee cannon at home and abroad. It is said that in the early years of Guangxu, the plague raged in the salt water area, and residents invited Guan Jun to inspect the territory; In order to drive away the evil epidemic and help Guan Gong, fireworks were set off along the way, but I didn't expect the plague to disappear. Since then, every year when Guan Gong went out on patrol, local people competed to set off firecrackers to thank God. If someone wants to make a wish to Guan Yu, they will also prepare a huge cannon city filled with tens of thousands of bee cannons. As soon as the sedan chair arrived, it caught fire. In an instant, tens of thousands of bee cannons were fired like ten thousand arrows, shooting at the crowd and filled with smoke. I saw sparks flying and the crowd screamed to escape. It is this love-and-fear bee cannon that attracts tens of thousands of people into Yanshui town every year and becomes a famous lantern festival in South Taiwan Province Province. The so-called "south bee cannon, north sky lantern", in Pingxi and Shidi areas of Taipei County, has the custom of putting sky lanterns on the Lantern Festival. Sky lanterns, also known as Kongming lanterns, are a kind of contribution invented by Zhuge Liang. On the other hand, it is thought that the shape of the sky lantern is very similar to Kong Ming's hat in the portrait, hence the name. Sky lanterns use the principle of hot air rising to make the whole lamp float into the sky. Although Pingxi and Shifen are located in remote mountainous areas, the custom of flying lanterns has attracted a large number of tourists in recent years after media reports. Many temples in Taiwan Province Province also hold activities of "seeking turtles" on the Lantern Festival as a celebration. The so-called "begging turtle" is a turtle made of glutinous rice or flour prepared by the temple and placed in front of the temple. On the Lantern Festival, believers can throw a basket to beg, so that their families can "eat with confidence". Those who beg for turtles must return the bigger turtles to the temple next year. As a result, the face turtles are getting bigger every year, and some even weigh hundreds of kilograms. As for those who haven't made a wish after asking for a turtle the year before last, the temple will post their names on the wall, as the saying goes, "The turtle climbs up the wall." The parties often become the object of jokes. Compared with "begging for turtles", Hakka settlements have the custom of "striving for new stability" during the Lantern Festival. This old custom prevails in Dongshi area of Taichung County. Every year, during the Lantern Festival, a considerable number of new tripod pins are made by the corner building units of the temple fair and the newly added families in the corner building, and distributed to all households. In addition, make a huge hairpin and put it in the square in front of the temple. Hakka people in Miaoli don't eat Yuanxiao, but cook it. Because the vegetable bag is shaped like a bamboo pig cage, it is also called "pig cage hairpin". The production method is to make glutinous rice skin with shredded radish, onion, mushrooms, shrimp skin, minced meat and other fillings. After wrapping, pinch a ridge line on the surface and steam it. On the night of Lantern Festival, children will flock to the nearby Bogong Temple to "castrate chickens", carrying lanterns and a plate of pig cages. When they arrived at Bogong Temple, they offered offerings and incense, and prayed, "Uncle and aunt, it's half dark in the first month. Let's burn gold and worship you in pig cages. We need to catch a big capon and a big pig and go back to feed them. Pig capons are big and small, and they all come to worship their aunts and grandfathers during the Spring Festival. "After burning the golden paper, he climbed the Bogong tree and broke off a lot of branches, which is the so-called' castrated chicken'. Then go to the plowed field near Bogong Temple and find a big clod with straw as a "big pig". Families robbed "castrated chickens" and "big pigs" and went back along the original road in droves. Along the way, people who catch "castrated chickens" will bark like chickens, and people who catch big pigs will be called "ㄡˇㄨㄟㄧ, ㄡㄨㄟㄧ". This is the so-called "castrated chicken" and "big pig". In addition, the activity of "throwing guns into the city" on Shangyuan Festival is also very popular in Hakka villages. Gun City is a bamboo pole with freely adjustable height erected in the square. The upper end is a square barrel with holes drilled around it, and a small series of guns are built in. People who take part in shooting the city will throw lit firecrackers at the gun city. If the gun in the barrel is lit, it is a victory, and they can receive prizes from the organizers. 1980, in order to cooperate with the establishment of People's Republic of China (PRC) in 1980, the Tourism Bureau of the Ministry of Communications specially entrusted the county and city governments to plan various ethnic activities, totaling thousands. These include Taipei Lantern Festival in Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall, Hakka Folk Culture Exhibition in Longtan Township, Taoyuan, Changhua Lugang Folk Art Festival and Monument Tour, Chiayi Snuff Bottle in Tiangong and Pupu Shop, saltwater bee cannon, Notre Dame de Tainan Tucheng grabbing spring cattle, etc. Many Quyi, premiere and children's orchestras have also come out to show their skills. It can be said that it is the reappearance of the grand occasion of "a hundred dramas vying for Chen" in ancient times.
