Does anyone know Shantou? Please tell me the local customs there!
Shantou people keep the unique cultural customs of Chaoshan people: they believe in the Mazu legend of Maureen, a folk girl from Meizhou, Fujian. Her father, brother and fiance went fishing in the sea one day and were caught in a strong wind. Maureen was working at home and spinning. When her sister-in-law saw her suddenly stop and sit quietly, she held a shuttle in her mouth and held her hands tightly for a long time. If you suspect that your aunt is ill, get her boiled water at once, but you shouldn't call her. Sister-in-law gave her aunt a push and shouted, and Maureen answered her. At this time, the shuttle in her mouth fell to the ground, and she burst into tears and sighed: "He is hopeless!" " My sister-in-law was surprised to ask her why, and her elder sister replied, "My relatives were blown away by the strong wind at sea, and she has just been rescued. Suddenly, she saw her fiance lose the mast and fall into the water, so she couldn't survive! " Sister-in-law didn't believe it. When her father and brother came back, she said that the maritime accident was the same as what Maureen said. Father and brother were saved, because Maureen held two shuttles tightly, and the first shuttle in her mouth fell to the ground, because her fiance's mast fell down. Maureen later died of grief. Legend has it that after her death, she rescued fishermen in many storms at sea. The maritime industry respected her and called her "Mazu Goddess", while the industry named Lin called her "girl" to worship the goddess and build a temple to worship the princess. Therefore, boatmen worship Mazu on the boat on the first and fifteenth day of the first lunar month, and March 23rd every year is called "Mazu's birthday", which is a grand worship. Fishermen in South Australia worship the land god, but South Australians generally only worship the land god. There is a legend: In ancient times, a pair of land parents-in-law in Taiwan Province Province were anxious to cross the Strait to Nan 'ao Island. Just as I was walking to the seaside, I suddenly met a woman crying under a tree and asked her why. It turned out that the woman was from Nan 'ao Island on the other side of Taiwan Province Strait. This time, she sailed with her husband and capsized in the strong wind, and her husband was buried in the sea. She was lucky enough to drift to the coast of Taiwan Province Province, and now she wants to hang on this big tree. After listening to this, the landlord wanted to save the woman's life and give her some money, but the landlord objected and said, "The fisherman died at the bottom of the sea in the strong wind. Mind your own business. We should hurry across the Strait and go to Nan 'ao Island, so as not to miss our own business. "Hearing this, Master Lu was very angry with Miss Lu. He just gave money to help the fishermen. In a rage, he went to South Australia Island alone. Later, after the rescued women returned to South Australia, they told the villagers about their in-laws who met the land. Since then, South Australians have worshipped the land. Sanshanwang was born on February 15 every year. On this day, incense flourished in the two Sanshan King's Temples in South Australia. Three kinds of animals, such as @ Pin and Big Pig's Head, are filled with tables, and men, women and villagers are in an endless stream to commemorate the legendary Sanshan King who has made contributions to the country and the Chaoshan people and was knighted by successive emperors, and pray for a peaceful environment and profit from going to sea. On the first and fifteenth day of each month, they also go to the temple to burn incense. When the new ship went into the sea, it also brought incense ashes on board to worship. So far, South Australia's Sanshan King Temple, Chaoshan, Taiwan Province, Singapore, Malaysia and other places. They all originated from Lintianzu Temple (also known as Mingzuo Temple and Sanshanwang Temple) west of Hepo Town (called Jieyang in ancient times) in Jiexi County. Wang Sheng, loyal to Wang Sheng and loyal to Wang Sheng, are two national heroes worshipped by hipsters, namely Zhang Xun and Xu Yuan who fought against An Lushan rebellion in Suiyang City in 757. After the anti-chaos sacrifice, the court set up a temple in Suiyang City, also known as Shuangzhong. During the reign of Song Xining (1068~ 1077), Zhong Ying (Chaoyang), a military school sent by Chaozhou Prefecture, passed through Suizhong Shuangzhong Temple with tribute. Admiring Zhang Xu's strength, he went to the temple to worship and beg for spiritual support. That night, I was told in my dream that there were twelve gods and a copper drum in the back room of the temple, all of which were returned. It is also said that there is a place behind the left Buddhist temple of Dongyue Temple in Dongshan, Chaoyang where big stones can be erected and shrines can be built for worship. At the end of the Song Dynasty, Wen Tianxiang, an important anti-Yuan official, crossed Chaoyang and visited Shuangzhong Temple. He killed a white horse as a sacrifice and carved the word "Qinyuanchun" on a stone to show his union with Zhang. After Wen Tianxiang's defeat, he was imprisoned in Wupoling, Haifeng, and finally died with the indomitable spirit of "who never dies since ancient times, leaving his heart in history". Since then, Chaoyang Shuangzhong Temple has become a popular place for people to worship. Every county in Chaoshan has built Shuangzhong Temple, and Chaoyang City has three. There is also a Shuangzhong Temple on Chengxian Street in Chaozhou. There is a couplet in the temple: "Children can cook concubines, not kill the city, and they are determined to protect half of Jianghuai; Born in the same year and died in the same year, God is also loyal and more brilliant than the sun and the moon. " The legendary alliance. Gu Wuye, also known as Mu, is the ancestor of agriculture worshipped by Chaoshan people. Legend has it that the God of Grains is Shennong, who teaches people to eat grains and tastes herbs to cure diseases. Every June 15 and 10/5, after harvesting early and late rice, farmers fill rice tubes with white rice and paste a circle of red paper, which is regarded as a sacred place for grain sacrifice. Commonly known as the birthday of the God of Grains. There is a statue of Shennong in Chaoyang in a small frame and hung on the altar for worship. On the two days of God's birthday, regardless of the goddess, farmers made all kinds of hieroglyphics with rice flour, peanuts, sesame oil and soybeans? @ products, such as the sharp shoulders of grain ears? @ Grain Rain? @, wait. There are three offerings on the incense table to worship. Avoid peace. Farmers in Chaoshan and other places have the custom of sending incense boats to avoid peace in the first month of worship. From the 16th to 20th of the first month, the tournament will be over. Wandering gods make an "An Road Ring" along the village road boundary, and patrol the surrounding area safely, which means pure land. During the village parade, everyone burned incense and bowed down in front of the door. Older women at home roll incense into a bundle with paper money and tie it tightly with black thread. They brushed the child's back 12 times from top to bottom. It is said that it is to drive away evil spirits, which can ensure a year 12 months of safety. After the whole family tried it, they put it in the incense boat placed in front of the temple, waiting for the ghost team to send the incense boat into the river and let the running water drift away, just to send away the evil spirits in the village. The incense boat is a paper boat, with bamboo strips and colored paper on its skeleton, and some are a big paper carp. Pedestrians should avoid the wandering souls when they launch the incense boat to avoid collision. In some places, after the incense boat is sent out of the village gate, the village gate should be closed to prevent evil spirits from escaping back to the village, and the incense boat floats into the river before opening the village gate. In some places, this day is very strict and people from other villages are not allowed to enter the village. I'm afraid people from other villages will bring evil spirits in. If an outsider enters the village, persuade him to go back. If he doesn't listen to advice, he will be arrested, painted a bad face, paraded in the streets and driven out of the countryside. This is called avoiding peace. It is said that escaping from peace is a mistake to pray for peace. There is also a custom of praying for peace, that is, when worshipping God, lanterns will be decorated in colorful, and Ficus and bamboo branches will be planted all over the lintel, pigsty, cowshed, poultry house or Tacai Bridge. When men and women meet and cross the bridge, they all pray for peace, so they are called praying for peace.
