Although the blessing activities in different places have their own characteristics in the form of performances, their core purpose is the same: to pray for good weather and good harvests in the coming year, and for the peace and security of the country and the people. These activities carry the people's simple cognition of nature and their ardent expectations for a better life.
Those who live between mountains and rivers and on the shores of the ocean are often tested by various natural disasters, so they have a deep reverence for the natural environment since ancient times. In the long historical evolution, a rich system of immortals based on Buddhism and Taoism has gradually formed, reflecting people's belief in and reverence for supernatural powers.

These activities have been continuously enriched and diversified in the intergenerational inheritance, and have become an important part of the folk culture of the Chinese nation.
