At the beginning of this year, another large number of netizens were broken by Fujian.
For no other reason, Fujian's lively wandering activities have stimulated the migrant workers who are returning to work.
On one side are the social animals crying and wolves howling, and on the other side are the Fuzhou people who beat gongs and drums and rejoice.
There is no harm if there is no comparison, and Fujian has successfully aroused the "jealousy" of netizens. But at the same time, it also aroused their curiosity.
It can be seen from the ** of the wandering god that the event site is crowded, the scene is grand and grand, and it is comparable to the New Year.
The lion dance and dragon dance troupes beat gongs and drums to greet each other, as well as the Chaoshan Ying song and dance that came to help, and the dancers beat with double short sticks in their hands, and the movements were uniform.
It was followed by a team of flower basket color signs, and the flags were embroidered with the auspicious words of "wind and rain" and "national peace and security", which were bright and bright.
The most striking thing is the gods and generals in the crowd, they are two meters tall, they are beautifully dressed and elegant, their steps are strange, and their hands are swinging like gods solemn and solemn, which makes people feel awe.
From a distance, a mighty team of wandering gods marched forward like a long dragon, with no head in front and no tail in sight, full of momentum.
Everywhere the team went, every household set up a table of eight immortals to add incense to take over. They held incense sticks in their hands, held them high above their heads, and prayed sincerely.
The fireworks in the world and the incense in the temple are intertwined, a carnival night of man and god!
In fact, Fujian Youshen has been famous for a long time, and there is a saying that says"The Chinese wandering god looks at Fuzhou, and the Fuzhou wandering god looks at Changle".
Fujian Changle's wandering spirit activity can be called the "ceiling of the wandering spirit".
If you are a 5G surfer, you may have brushed up on the popular Fujian Youshen**.
High-value Shizi Tiantuan", "Goddess Five Spirits Princess", "Handsome Furnace Cleaner Respectful Mafu", "The First Brother of the Three Holy Churches"...Fujian people can be regarded as playing the New Year as a high-end game.
Insiders look at the doorway, and outsiders look at the bustle.
Although many outsiders have not arrived, their eyes have seen enough of the excitement. I can't wait to experience it in person the next day.
A large number of IPs from all provinces across the country left messages in the comment area, "You must come to the scene in the coming year!" ”
And the netizens with Fujian IP are a little confused, but at the same time they are proud from the bottom of their hearts.
They didn't expect that the activities they participated in every year from childhood to adulthood would become famous in the country. And it has attracted many foreign tourists.
As everyone knows, this is something that locals are accustomed to.
Before the tour of the gods, the respected elders of the village will throw the chalice in the ancestral hall and discuss with the gods whether to come out for a procession.
After the gods agreed, the sedan chair carrying the team would rush in one after another to welcome the gods.
The popular Youshen terrier "Zhao Shizi is an otaku" and "Zhang Shizi loves to smoke Huazi" are the first to "ask for a cup".
The people of Fuzhou invited Zhao Shizi to throw the Holy Grail and asked for five years, and said "no" every year.
It wasn't until this year that I agreed, so it's no wonder that people jokingly called Zhao Shizi "home".
After the cup, after some preparations, it is time for the formal ceremony of the wandering gods.
On that day, in addition to admiring the demeanor of various gods, people also talked about the handsome furnace purifiers dancing with seven star steps, and the horsemen who whipped the way.
Interestingly, the people who were drawn by the groom were not angry, but were very happy.
It turned out that this was a good sign, and it was said that the groom would take away all the bad luck of the year.
After looking at the furnace purifier and the groom, you will find that there are still little princes who are shaking their heads.
The age of these children is generally between 3-6 years old, and they have learned to step on the gods at the age when they can't control their urine.
It is no wonder that Fujian's Youshen folk customs can be passed down for more than 400 years, and their children and grandchildren are all influenced by the ideas of the older generation.
The belief in gods in Fujian has been passed down from more than 600 years ago.
At that time, the ancestors of Fujian were so miserable that they had to go out to sea to fish every day to make a living.
But the presence of typhoons, floods, and bandits can easily make people who go to sea have no return.
In the face of natural and man-made disasters, the Fujian people who were powerless had no choice but to ask the gods for their blessings, hoping that their relatives who were running around could return safely.
They carried the idol out of the place of worship, placed offerings and offered incense, hoping that the gods would listen to the people's will and bring blessings to them.
Later, the life of the Fujian people gradually improved, and they still keep this activity to this day.
In this way, the gods prayed for blessings year after year, but the strange thing is that the number of gods is also increasing year by year.
What's going on here?
Fujian's team of wandering gods has been exaggerated to the point that a total of more than 1,000 gods have been sent down to patrol the realm.
In fact, Fujian people secretly tell you that there are even their own "ancestors" among the more than 1,000 gods.
Not strictly "God."
Many of them are real historical figures, because of their outstanding contributions to the local area, they are remembered by the Fujian people who value love and righteousness and are enshrined in the temple.
For example, there is a ghost difference in the underworld that represents "loyalty, filial piety, etiquette and righteousness", "black and white impermanence".
Bai Wuchang's real name is Xie Bi'an, and Hei Wuchang's real name is Fan Wusheng.
They were brothers and sisters when they were alive, and it is said that even the Lord of Yama was moved by his affection, and named the two as ghosts, so as to avoid the pain of reincarnation.
At the beginning of the story, the two traveled to Nantai Bridge and suddenly encountered a rainstorm, Xie Bi'an went back to get an umbrella, leaving Fan Wusu to wait in place.
But the rain poured down, and the water level by the bridge soared, and soon the short Fan Wusu was drowned.
Fan Wusu could have left, but he didn't want to break the appointment.
So when Xie Bi'an arrived, what he saw was Fan Wushu, who had been drowned. He was so grief-stricken that he hanged himself by the bridge and followed his brother.
As can be seen from this,Fujian people believe more in beautiful personality qualities, and in their hearts, the gods are flesh and blood like people.
They are enthusiastic about wandering the gods, and at the same time, they also breed the courage to walk in the world in their beliefs, turning them into surging vitality.
Perhaps it is the gloomy epidemic years that have made us lose too much, including this lively atmosphere of fireworks and gongs and drums.
Coming to the scene of the gods in Fujian, the crowds are crowded, and the solemn gods of the past have changed their normal, and they are lively and close to the crowd and have fun with the people.
Everyone couldn't help but sing with joy, and the seeds of faith took root and sprouted in their hearts.
The heart that had been cold for a long time was also infected by the atmosphere, throbbing again, immersed in the mysterious and full of human colors of the carnival drama.
The earth-shattering firecrackers banished the gloom, and when the smoke filled, the gods seemed to take a look at the world through the dim lights and spread blessings to the land under his protection.
Someone filmed this scene and uploaded ** to social platforms, saying that it seemed that he had really seen the gods descend to earth. provoked many netizens to be fascinated, and left a tearful message: "In the past few days, my mind is full of knocks, and the ** of the wandering god can't be brushed at all, and the brush can't be finished....”
If you want me to say, ** is not enough to restore the excitement of the scene of Youshen, only by visiting the scene can you really feel the shock of the gongs and drums.
And in this shock, we feel not only the majesty of the gods, but also the people's ardent expectations for a better life.
