On January 24th, the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, after visiting the mangrove forest yesterday, I still felt a little unwilling, thinking that I came to Maoming this time to see the New Year's Order, so I still asked the locals, found the village that will hold the New Year's Eve this year, and continued to drive there.
This time I went to Louge Village, as soon as I entered the village, I knew that there was no mistake, the colorful flags fluttering in the village, people came and went, it was very lively, even the car was not good to stop, and I knew that today's year was definitely able to see at a glance. I couldn't touch it the day before yesterday, but I'm going to make up for it today, although I know that this village is not the biggest, but I can feel the atmosphere of this village, and I'm already very satisfied.
Since we came relatively early, it was not yet the time for the year to begin, so we basically had to wait until after lunch, so we also started looking for food near the village. The food stalls should not be so open, find a breakfast stall, it is still open, go directly to patronize, the diet here, I feel that I like white porridge, and all kinds of fried things, even glutinous rice chicken can be fried, fried crispy outside and tender inside, the taste is very good, plus white porridge and pickles, as well as fragrant peanut oil with pho, squid fried only 10 yuan a piece, 5 yuan of shrimp fried, a large sea of shrimp, 50 yuan a lunch, 5 people are full.
After lunch, I went back to Louge Village to see the New Year's Ceremony, and also talked with the villagers by the way, the villagers were very kind, and directly shared the oyster fried oysters that were ready to entertain relatives and guests at home. For the year, the villagers said that this is about equivalent to worshiping the gods, inviting relatives and friends to dinner, a good opportunity to go to relatives, and rich villages will also invite opera troupes to sing operas and so on. And the young villagers told me that in fact, young people don't like this too much, because they have to prepare the day's meals early in the morning, work hard all day, and greet relatives and friends, and clean up later, as the host is very tired, so I like the year, but I don't like to do the year in my own home, and there are children, not necessarily like, should participate in the ceremony, the selected children in the village, but also to the village temple for a night, during which you can't go out, you can only brush your mobile phone, It's very boring, so the three generations of old, middle-aged and young people actually have different attitudes towards the year.
The year began, in fact, it is the representative of the village, holding the idol of the god in the village, parading in the village, it should be to send blessings to each family, and every household in the village, in response, is to hang a large string of firecrackers at the door, and when the blessing is sent to the door, the firecrackers will be lit, the whole village is lively, and the young people holding the statue of the parade, can only keep running, run a little slower, and walk in the firecrackers at any time, the starting point and the end point of the parade should be the temple in the village, at the end, the long queue of firecrackers has already been set up and waiting for the return of the parades.
The parade personnel are coming, the firecracker array also began to sound, the gongs and drums shook the sky, the lion also danced, the young people held high the statue and kept circling around the temple gate, everyone was cheering and cheering, the most lively estimate is this moment, all kinds of ceremonies also began to rise, the villagers all gathered, while ** lively, coaxed over and over again, lively to welcome the statue, incomparably happy, the atmosphere of the scene also entered the climax at this moment.
In the end, almost an hour after the lion dance, the firecrackers were also burned, the ritual of the gods in the year was basically over, and the crowd began to disperse slowly, each returned to the owner's house, continued to chat and wait for dinner, and the visit to my house was almost over, when I drove to the next attraction, I saw the next village, the lineup was huge, and there were many blind dates who donated money, and the stage had been built, but unfortunately it only started tomorrow, and we missed it perfectly.
After the end of the tour from the pavilion village, drive to the Liantou Lighthouse, ready to watch the sunset scenery in **, about 1 km before arrival, all kinds of unconscious parking, so that the one-way one-lane dirt road is basically blocked, it took an hour to reach the vicinity, the small beach, it is clean, at sunset, the scenery is indeed very beautiful, it is worth coming here to check in and watch the sunset.
After sunset, drive back to the electric city, find a place to live in the bell and drum tower near the pavilion village, and then it's time to visit the night market, Maoming's subordinate Huazhou sugar water is actually quite famous, there are a few near the bell and drum tower, there are many varieties, just the glutinous rice balls, the filling is also super much, and sold by the number, I sold a taste, plus a little other things, dessert after the meal, is also very satisfied, friends who come here, should really try, there are too many varieties, it is estimated that breakfast to supper, can not eat all the varieties. I also saw a certain sugar water shop, and there was a long queue to eat sugar water to enter, of course I wouldn't join in the excitement.
After eating the sugar water, this article is also over, welcome everyone to continue to pay attention, I will continue to introduce the various characteristics of Maoming in the next article!
