Shandong people's festival celebration: Rizhao Fisherman's Day?

Grain Rain is the sixth solar term among the 24 solar terms, and Grain Rain is the last solar term in spring. The arrival of solar terms in Grain Rain means that the cold wave weather is basically over and the temperature rises rapidly. You may not know that Rizhao Fisherman's Day originated in Grain Rain. Let's learn about Rizhao Fishermen's Festival from Grain Rain with Bian Xiao.

April 20th every year is the Fisherman's Day in Rongcheng City, Shandong Province. This festival originated from Grain Rain Festival. Fishermen in the northern coastal areas of China have celebrated Grain Rain Festival for more than 2,000 years, and it was renamed Fisherman's Day in Daoguang period of Qing Dynasty (182 1). On this day in Grain Rain, fishermen in Shandong coastal areas prayed for the blessing of Poseidon, smooth sailing and a bumper harvest of fish and shrimp. Therefore, today, wealthy fishermen in Rongcheng held a grand "sea sacrifice" activity in the Grain Rain, toasted Poseidon, and then set sail for fishing.

The people who participate in the fishermen's day activities include those engaged in marine fishing and those engaged in shallow-sea farming, that is, all those engaged in marine fishery production and their families. Rizhao coastal fishermen's festival is a concentrated expression of fishermen's form of offering sacrifices to the sea, expressing their strong feelings and awe of the sea. The activities of Fisherman's Day are very rich, such as opening the light, worshiping the Dragon King, taking a boat and worshiping the sea god. After the activities of Fishermen's Day, the boatmen will get together to have a drink and talk about the plan of harvesting in spring and autumn, as well as the feelings and precautions in production. Then fishermen hold folk festivals, such as diving folk dances.

June 13 is the Fishermen's Day. Fishermen will kill pigs and sheep in Longwang Temple and their fishing boats, steam cakes, prepare various cakes, fruits and other offerings, paste couplets and hang colorful flags. Fishermen got up, carried pigs and sheep dressed in red and flowers and offerings prepared by various families, beat gongs and drums and set off firecrackers all the way, and came down to Longwang Temple surrounded by yangko teams, dry boats and onlookers. At eight o'clock in the morning, the sacrificial activities began, firecrackers exploded, gongs and drums roared, colored silks danced, and boatmen placed various offerings in front of the Dragon King Hall, burning incense and kowtowing in turn to worship the Dragon King.

Once upon a time, there was a wind boat with a goddess of the sea on board, and there was an incense table at the stern for three glasses of wine. When going out to sea, the boatman stood on the ship's surface, rinsed his mouth with clear water from the southeast, and then went into the warehouse to propose a toast to Poseidon, mumbling a prayer for calm. Now, there is no Poseidon on board, and there is a sea temple on one side of the Dragon King Hall. Sacrificial activities are held in Longwang Temple at the same time as the Dragon King's sacrifice.

Dive Folk Dance On the day of Fishermen's Day, fishermen will dance an aquarium dance with regional characteristics. The dances of the aquarium are mostly fish, turtles, shrimps, crabs and mussels. The costumes are made of bamboo sticks, white silk or cotton paper, and then sketched with colored pens. The performance of Shui dance can be roughly divided into two forms. One is impromptu performance: many men and women choose an aquarium shape to wear on themselves according to their preferences, dance with music such as gongs, drums and suona, and imitate various postures of the aquarium. Their dance steps mostly adopt opera steps or yangko steps, and some are improvisational; The second is a performance with a plot. When performing, there are not only the shapes of aquariums, but also the shapes of characters. Love, ethics and fables are described through the unique relationship between people and aquariums and the specific environment.

Common dances of the Shui people include: Snakes and Clams Fight, Fisherman and Clam Essence, How Big is the Sea, Water and Golden Man Mountain, etc. Because the plot of the aquarium dance adopts anthropomorphic techniques, the plot is tortuous and vivid, close to life, and it is more attractive than the impromptu aquarium dance.

The conclusion contains the content of Rizhao Fisherman's Day, which originated from the solar terms in Grain Rain. I wonder if it will help everyone?
