It has been several days since the empty-eared boy Ah Feng Fujian Youshen watched Changle Changle Youshen watch Houfu return to his workstation, and the 26-year-old Xiao Tian still can't recover from this Spring Festival.
Unlike previous years, she did not stay in Shanghai, but chose to go to a place with a stronger New Year's flavor in her heart - Fuzhou Changle District to see "Youshen". 
Harley went to Shadi Village in Xiaotian, Fujian, where the popular "Huaguang Dashizi" is located. The statue of the sword-eyed star is draped in a black dragon claw robe, and it looks so imposing.
Thousands of people in the village are empty, and tourists from all over the world move towards the ancestral hall in a mighty way, with gongs and drums along the way, and fireworks and firecrackers are almost never broken. Because of his studies and work, Xiao Tian, who hadn't had a good New Year for several years, found that he missed this lively fireworks very much. 
Harley: During the Spring Festival in Fujian, Fuzhou City ranked first in the country on the list of population migration popularity, which surprised many people. According to the statistics of Fuzhou Cultural Tourism, there are a total of 62950,000 "Oda" poured into the area. The city has successfully come out of the circle with a strong New Year's flavor and captured young people from all over the world.
More than 10,000 godsA fantastical system of folk mythology"Wandering God", as the name suggests, is to invite the gods to travel, inspect the four realms, and accept the people's incense worship.
This activity has been passed down for hundreds of years, and not only has it not faded like other customs, but has become more and more popular with the combination of technology. As one of the regions that retains traditional folk customs, there are more than 1,000 gods worshiped by Fujian people. There are more than 25,000 palaces and temples and small sacrificial places of more than 10 square meters here, and it is truly "sacrificial like drinking water". 
With such a deep foundation of faith in Fujian, it is not difficult to understand why Fujianese people are so keen on the "wandering gods" activity. There are 11 towns and more than 40 villages in Changle District, each of which has its own gods, and all of them can be lively until February 2. Look at the long procession, divided into several different teams: the god of enlightenment, the son of the gods, the generals, the main god, and the believers, each statue has its own story behind it, and it is a huge system of folk mythology alone. 
After Harley arrived in Shadi Village, Fujian, Oda ran to several villages and met various gods in the flooded procession. There is a legend that Fujian people must worship Mazu when they travel, and it looks kind and kind. There are Monkey King, black and white impermanence (also known as the Seven Masters and Eight Masters in Fujian), and the third prince of Nezha, these mythical "frequent visitors". 
The largest number of onlookers is the "Shizi Tiantuan". Someone present explained that the son of the world is the son of the God of Wealth, and Xiao Tian quickly folded his hands and bowed a few more times. 
Endings and nerves.
And also. Yuhua Shaoniang and Fenghua Shaoniang, the gentle and compassionate goddess amazed everyone as soon as they appeared. 
Fuzhou pat. Particularly interested, she struck up a conversation with a local young man who had returned to her hometown, asking a lot of questions, and only then did she realize that there were many other characters in the team besides the gods. What looks like a big-headed doll is a fairy child in front of the gods, called "child brother", which is the "childhood shadow" in the hearts of many Changle children. 
Harley's walk at the front of the line in Fujian to open the way for sentient beings is called "Mafu", that is, the god of enlightenment. If you get whipped by his whip, you can get good luck in the coming year, provided you don't stand in the way of the procession of the gods. Xiao Tian was lightly swept by the groom a few times, and he was relatively lucky. But when she went to another village, she heard a boy next to her being "beaten" and screaming "Pain!" It seems that not all grooms are equally gentle. 
What shocked Harley the most in Fujian was at night, when a tall god wearing a spotlight hair ornament came out of the smoke in the red firelight, making people feel as if they had really strayed into another world.
The empty-eared boy Ah Feng, the god of the 21st century, has changed to new equipment, and many of his headpieces can shine, which makes Xiao Tian stunned.
When the empty-eared boy Ah Feng walked on the road, a box of fireworks was just a few steps away, and the sound of firecrackers did not stop for hours all night! Her head was hit five or six times by fireworks debris, and her ears couldn't get used to the silence for a long time after the event. Recalling the adventures of the team along the way, she felt so amazing that she couldn't get enough of it. 02
People crowd people's long musicTravel needs to be arranged in advanceDuring the Spring Festival, more and more tourists come to Fuzhou.
But how to look at the wandering god and where to see it is also a skillful thing. Some people go in a hurry without a good strategy, not only can they not see the wandering gods, but it is also difficult to even eat and book a hotel. On the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, Wang Jing, who had a temporary intention, drove from Jiangsu for several hours all the way to Fuzhou. Although I was lucky to book a hotel, the commercial street was crowded with people, and I couldn't find a place to eat for half a day. The delicious local specialties are not open during the festival, and many people have to queue up at stores like Haidilao and KFC. In less than two days, Wang Jing left abruptly.
Harley is in Fujian, and in contrast, Yanzi who has made several trips to Changle is very experienced. Her ancestors were in Caozhu Village, Changle, and now although her family has moved, she still returns to her hometown every year to worship her ancestors. Every time she comes, she takes a direct flight to Changle International Airport, which is only 20 to 30 minutes away from the main tourist destination, Houfu by taxi. AccommodationShe will book a hotel in Jinfeng Town in advance. This is a relatively wealthy township in Changle, which is convenient for eating and drinking, and it is relatively close to Houfu by taxi. The fat lady in the town is a knife cut noodle and a popular fish ball is her favorite.
Harley is in Fujian, but she also admits that in recent years, as the fame of Youshen has become more and more famous, it is inevitable that there will be many people, and it is impossible to avoid it. In particular, the most lively Houfu (the collective name of the three villages of Kefeng, Houdong and Caozhu in Tantou Town), it is difficult to move an inch during the event. Fortunately, every year, the local official ** will announce the parade time in advance, and more than 40 villages have their own activities from the first day of the Lunar New Year to the second day of February. Now that there are more and more tourists in Houfu, Swallow prefers to go to less crowded villages.
Harley's hometown is in Yutian Village, Changle, and he said that there are relatively few tourists in his home. Here on the second day of the first lunar month, there is no son, only the most traditional wandering god activities. The band blew suona, and on both sides of the road were old men kneeling and offering incense. The main deity is carried on a small sedan chair, and it is said that whoever carries the sedan chair will receive good luck.
The temple that Harley sheltered here in Fujian is called Ruiyun Nunnery, also known as the "Emperor Temple", which was built in the Tang Dynasty and is mainly dedicated to the five spirits who drive away plague and ward off evil spirits. Harley said that the people of Fujian have never worshipped a specific god, but all the creatures in heaven and earth that symbolize loyalty, righteousness and friendliness. If you look closely, you'll see that there are far more human heroes than "gods" here.
Harley in Fujian 03"Youshen" is entertainingNeglected local folkloreIn the past two years, with the spread of social media, Fujian Youshen has become more and more popular. There are more people going, and all kinds of chaos will follow.
Two days ago, someone cosplayed (played) into the appearance of a god, walking at the front of the line, swaggering to accept incense, and the groom couldn't get rid of it several times. The dragon claw robe worn on his body is one level higher than the specifications of the god statue. Changle's rule is not to conflict in front of the gods, and the locals look at them angrily, but they can't say anything.
Some people ate the offerings on the side of the road for no apparent reason, and stood on the benches in front of the sacrificial table to take pictures. Internet celebrity anchors are piled up together, so blocked that "the gods can't take a step, the horsemen can't jump, and the locals are squeezed at the end with incense".
In many villages, there are only local grandfathers and aunts who try their best to stop these uncivilized behaviors, but they are not always successful. What's even more outrageous is that there are still people who regard the idol as an idol, and the prince is said to be a "husband", and the "tossed cup" asked more than 20 times if he could marry the prince. In the process of wandering the gods, he reached out and tried to touch the sleeve of the son, holding the mobile phone of the live broadcast to ...... in front of the statue of the son
The traditional culture that has been handed down for hundreds of years has been entertained in this way. In Harley's view of Yutian Village, this is all caused by the blind pursuit of traffic because he did not understand the warning line of local customs before participating in the event.
In fact, Hokkien people are very hospitable, as long as visitors maintain a sense of awe and do not act disrespectful to local customs, everyone is very welcoming to visitors.
Mutual respect and understanding are the key to a lively celebration of the festive season.
