Ye Yaodong wanted to stop in the county government. Fortunately, Director Chen was here. After saying it, he released it directly, and the gatekeeper did not verify the true and false.

Probably now can afford military motorcycles, it is not ordinary people. It means that it is done, and I dare not embarrass at all.

The three of them parked the car walked while walking, and slowly walked to the Tianhou Palace.

The closer to the Tianhou Palace, the greater the traffic, and the more hawkers who shed selling things.

In the past, only the two streets that were concentrated in the station and the main city of the city. Today, all concentrated near the Tianhou Palace. A small market has been formed early in the morning.

Those who come in advance to make up for the fun gathered in the small market.

Director Chen lamented, "The county is rare so lively, so many years, the first see."

Jin Yuzhi also followed.

Ye Yaodong said: "The county is still better than our town. The Lantern Festival Lantern Festival has been held in the first two years in the first year of the town. This year is more lively. If you are free next month, you will pick you up in the city.

It is also convenient in our town, much more lively. "

"How lively?"

"There are children raised lanterns, and some floats patrol them. They are still sitting on the floats. This year is the Year of the Rabbit. Some people play Chang'e holding the jade rabbit and a dragon dance lion. Next year is the year of the dragon.

Some hawkers on the street are on both sides of the street, and they depend on the flow of people. "

Director Chen listened to his face, "That's very lively."

"You will also take a break next year, I'll pick you up."

"Let's talk about it, now it's early to say this."

The three of them walked up with the flow of people to temporarily gather, and then walked to the Tianhou Palace.

A bunch of white shirts are gathered around the door of Tianhou Palace, and red satin brooch hanging on the chest.

They walked over and listened to a few words. They turned out to be a fisherman who donated money. There were also individuals who had an oblique etiquette belt.

Ye Yaodong didn't know how to distinguish it, but when they took the invitation, they were all divided into etiquette ribbons.

It turns out that ordinary donations are different from public institutions. Leaders wear different.

And he asked for an advanced youth, so he was also a ribbon.

He laughed with a ribbon with a shirt and said, "There is still such a distinction, I think everyone is the same."

It turns out that he can still mix a seat belt.

"It must be different, there will be a difference between the standing positions at that time."

Director Chen said that he had taken off the Zhongshan outfit outside.

Jin Yuzhi said with his clothes and said, "Now it will be cold, either put it on first, and change it later ..."

"No, there are sweaters inside, the sun is also large, it will not be cold."

Ye Yaodong also took off his jacket directly and put it on first.

As soon as they put on the shirt and put on a seat belt, someone immediately came around to talk.

With that official tone, you could tell it was the local government. Ye Yaodong didn't say anything and asked his godfather to take action.

Sure enough, as soon as Director Chen said that he was the deputy director of the city's Oceanographic Bureau, the local officials became more enthusiastic and smiled deeper.

Even Ye Yaodong was treated with courtesy, and his name became familiar to them.

The three of them were even invited to sit inside, and they were also given fruit snacks and tea, and their treatment skyrocketed.

Not long after they sat down, Mazu clones from various villages and towns came outside one after another, beating gongs and drums.

However, it was not the turn of the government cadres to greet them. The staff of the propaganda department who arranged this Millennium Festival went to greet them and divide their territories.

Each village or town occupies an open space, and the territory is clearly divided to avoid conflicts among the crowds and chaos.

Ye Yaodong listened to the intermittent sound of gongs and drums outside, and raised his watch from time to time to check the time. It was only early 8 o'clock. They probably hadn't arrived in the village yet, but he didn't know if his father and the others had arrived.

After sitting for a while, he went out and took a look at the door, but no one came to look for him. Everything he could see was full of people. It was so crowded that he had no place to look for them.

It wasn't until almost 9 o'clock when he asked the staff where their village was divided that he found everyone.

"Oh, A Dong is different from us. His is a ribbon, while ours is a red brooch and ribbon."

"Yes, yes, he is of a high level. We are ordinary. Many people are the same..."

"Secretary Chen and the others are the only ones wearing ribbons in our village..."

Father Ye touched the ribbon on his chest with a smile on his face, "Why are you still more advanced than everyone else?"

"I am one of the top ten advanced youths this year."

"That's it, it's good, it's good..."

Mother Ye also touched it back and forth and said enviously: "It's a pity. If I were this year's March 8th red flag bearer, I could also bring this."

"Mom, if you work hard, our family's civilized family depends on you."

"It's not like your father is holding him back. He doesn't know a few Chinese characters. He curses when he teaches him. He doesn't want to make progress at all..."

"Stop being so nagging, there are so many people..."

Ye Yaodong looked around and saw that all the gathering places in each village were wearing shirts, which meant that there were donations.

Ordinary people who did not participate in donations were not assigned white shirts and had no seats. They had to go to the back to join in the fun and watch.

He estimated that for this celebration, several thousand custom-made shirts alone would cost tens of thousands.

There are also some expenses for building Mazu Temple and activities, which are really expensive.

Looking at Mazu's sedan chair in the team, he asked Secretary Chen, and then he knew that it was time. Then the host spoke, and the female representative of the village invited Mazu's doppelganger out and stood in front of the team, and then

Follow the process again.

Before the ceremony even started, the gongs, drums and suona teams from various villages and towns began to compete in taking turns playing, and the scene was very lively.

He just stood in the team in his village for a while. When the time was almost up and the teams in front started to arrange their positions, he hurried forward.

Thanks to Director Chen's favor, he was originally supposed to be in the back row. Director Chen waved and he reached the front row, and everyone around him was still smiling.

After occupying a good position, before the ceremony started, he quickly walked up the steps, picked up the camera hanging on his chest and took two pictures before returning to his seat.

"Bang~"

There was a huge gong and drum standing at the entrance of Thean Hou Temple, and someone was beating it at this time.

"The auspicious time has arrived~"

The originally lively scene suddenly became quiet.

Ye Yaodong turned around and looked over. The team that originally seemed a little chaotic was now neatly organized, as if it had been divided into pieces.

The whole front row of Thean Hou Temple is filled with white shirts. The difference is that the ones in the front row are ribbons, and the ones in the back row are red ribbon brooches. They look particularly uniform and neat. At the back are ordinary people in various costumes.

Some family members do not go to sea, so of course they do not particularly believe in Mazu, they just regard her as an ordinary god.

"Ling Fei is a woman whose fragrance rises from Meizhou. This refers to Mazu. Mazu is the sea goddess of peace that our coastal generation admires. Today is the ceremony of Mazu's ascension for a thousand years..."

The host above held a microphone, and his voice spread clearly throughout the corners in front of the open space.

The host explained the origins of Mazu and the titles bestowed upon Mazu by various dynasties in the local dialect.

"Respectfully invite the spirit-splitting Mazu..."

With the end of the opening speech and following the instructions, teams from various villages and towns also invited Mazu out of the sedan chair.

Then, holding the avatar of Mazu covered with red silk cloth, he slowly walked to Thean Hou Temple and stood Mazu on the altar table in front of Thean Hou Temple.

Just when he was in the village queue, a row of incense tables and offerings tables had been placed at the gate, and the names of each village and town were written on each offering table, so it would not be possible to confuse his own Mazu clone.

.

At this moment, some hostesses with red flowers on their heads took a bunch of flower baskets and handed them to the people wearing ribbons one by one, telling them that there would be a flower basket presentation ceremony later.

Ye Yaodong said to Director Chen beside him: "The sense of ceremony is quite strong."

Director Chen nodded, "She's very good at arranging it, and it's in place."

After all Mazu's clones from each village and town were invited to the offering table, the flower basket-laying ceremony began.

Those in the front row, led by the hostess, stepped forward one by one in an orderly manner and filled the altar table with flower baskets.

Then each leader took turns to deliver a speech, and introduced in depth the rich connotations of Mazu culture, their feelings about advocating Mazu culture and their prospects for the future. They also expressed warm congratulations on the holding of the event and sincerely wished the event a complete success, etc.

After the speech was over, the melodious melody was permeated in an instant.

The honor guards, guards and performers of the Mazu Festival Art Troupe were arranged in line together. For a time, the scene drums and the flags fluttered. The scene was prestigious.

Immediately after the main sacrifice, accompany the sacrifice to read the wishes, respect the incense.

Their in the front row also stepped forward to the incense.

After finishing the incense, the collective worshiped by the host according to the host's slogan ...

Just now, the gongs and drums are so loud, and the people are full of voices.

After worship, the unveiling and foundation ceremony of the statue of Mazu Stone in Tianhou Palace.
To be continued...
