September 1st, Dragon King Festival.

The Dragon King Festival is also called the Sea God Festival. This is a traditional cultural project of many fishermen in the coastal areas since ancient times. Respecting gods and respecting dragons is an indispensable part of fishermen's life and labor.

"Hongyang in history was a small fishing village, which developed from a small fishing village to a large fishing village, a small city, and a big city. Before the reform and opening up, the people in the Hongyang area still relied on the ocean as their living and relied on fishing to make a living. This is what is called relying on the sea to eat the sea..."

"In order to overcome the fear of the sea and to gain a sense of spiritual peace, the fishermen worshipped the sea in various ways and worshiped the gods. Even before the liberation, each fishing village built its own temple..."

"Fishers believe that one place is a place of water and land to nourish one person, and the other place of gods also protect the safety of another, so they use various methods to pray for the safety of the sea. Our ancestors developed the Dragon King Sacrifice, which was once the most important folk activity in our local area..."

A high platform was erected on the redecorated pier, and Lu Zhizi's sweet voice sounded through the speakers and reached the beaches in all directions.

At this time, people came and went on the beach, bustling with people. The people of the village rushed to the pier to watch the Dragon King Festival, and tourists around also rushed to watch the fun.

On the rocky beach in the distance, a few turtles were protruding their heads and occasionally a few firecrackers sounded here, and they were so scared that they quickly got into the sea.

A group of dogs from the village ran happily in the crowd. They raised their heads and twisted their hips, and flewed with their claws, looking so cool.

The general is the leader. The general has bright eyes and is looking for the beautiful little bitch brought by tourists. It is ready to open a foreign meat dish. Many of the dogs brought by tourists are foreign breeds.

On the sea behind the dock, a water column soared into the sky. After the water column fell, a thicker water column spurted out of the sea side. The former was done by a tiger, and the latter was done by a sperm whale.

The water column was sprayed out, and two whales emerged from the water. The tiger showed half of its head. Two big black eyes looked at all curiously. The sperm whales were peaceful and motionless.

The swarm of rat dolphins and the swarm of plunders also emerged. They flew across the sea, jumping out of the sea from time to time to show their bodies in the sun, full of vitality.

The cameras and cell phones in the hands of tourists snapped, and when the cordon in front of the dock was released, they rushed over.

Ao Muyang returned to the dock in a boat. Behind him was a golden light, which was the golden droplets he scattered. Otherwise, the dolphins and the porpoises would all emerge from the water.

Seeing him on the dock, Ao Mudong shouted, "Dragon Head, will the ceremony begin?"

Ao Muyang nodded and said, "Start, have all the things I took back been put into the water? Are you ready?"

Ao Wenchang took the time to turn around and said, "You're ready, but you really want to do this, Longtou? Can it work? I either doubt you or think it's a bit difficult!"

Ao Muyang smiled and said, "Today I will give you the real means to see the leader!"

The Dragon King Festival has not been held for many years, and this activity has finally been launched again this year, which is a bit insufficient preparation.

In fact, the Dragon King Sacrifice in the village is meaningless. It is a blessing ceremony. It prays for the fishermen who set out to do their jobs at sea to pray for navigation safety and fish for a bumper harvest. Most of the projects are running dragons and dancing lions, offering three animals and five animals to sacrifice to the gods.

Since Ao Muyang wanted to turn it into a tourism project, it was naturally not that simple. He asked the elderly in the village to restore some projects, and then held a meeting with the village cadres, and finally came out of the ritual ceremony.

At nine o'clock in the morning, a series of firecrackers rang out, and smoke was everywhere on the pier.

This is very simple. Ao Muyang spent 500 yuan to rent an ice dryer. The stage made by the dock as the main body can become a fairy mist at any time.

As the host, Lu Zhizi finally put on makeup.

Today she wore a dress with embroidered gold-edged white gauze, with slender white gauze passing through her arms and back. The sea breeze blew, the hem of the skirt, the gauze sleeves, and the white gauze fringed.

Her black hair was carefully combed, with golden threads inside, and two clusters of short hair were combed into small braids and hung in front of her ears. Her hair was also dancing in the wind. In this way, the black hair and the white gauze dress shone brightly, with golden pleats!

Because it was the Dragon King Sacrifice, she wore two little dragon horns on her smooth forehead as accessories, which added her a bit of cute and quirky temperament.

Lu Zhizi has delicate facial features, poetry and books on the belly, and has the classical beauty of Chinese tradition. When she appeared on stage with a white gauze, she floated with the fog as the sea breeze blew, and tourists around her suddenly stared at it.

"There are really dragon girls in this world." Some tourists immediately exclaimed.

Lu Zhizi took the stage to slash his arms, bells and drums were played together, and the salutes were heard. The festival scene suddenly became lively.

"Please take the main priest, accompany the priest to the stage, please take the orchestra, guard of honor, and suona team to take their place, and prepare to welcome the gods!" A crisp voice sounded again.

The festival designed by Ao Muyang first welcomes the gods, then burns incense, then raises the flag, and finally offers offerings. A set of rituals is interspersed with traditional dance and music performances.

He is the village chief and the leader of the village fleet. He is naturally the well-deserved chief priest, and the accompanying priest is Dai Zongxi, the director of the Ocean and Fisheries Bureau.

Ao Muyang fooled Dai Zongxi on the grounds of developing Hongyang tourism and Hongyang local fishery culture. He originally wanted Dai Zongxi to be the chief priest, but Dai Zongxi refused. He said that party members could not take the lead in feudal superstition...

The head of the gods is Fujizi, the Taoist priest in the town. The master wore a fairy cave robe today, which is a Taoist robe with wide open double neckline, long calves, and long sleeves to carry with him.

The main color of the robes is purple, with various Taoist auspicious patterns embroidered with gold and silver threads, such as Yuluo Xiaotai, sun, moon and stars, Bagua, pagoda, dragon and phoenix, crane, unicorn, etc., which look simple and quite solemn.

When Fujizi came on stage, Ao Daguo exclaimed: "Damn, Fujizi, I didn't usually see that you still have this equipment. This robe is really amazing."

With his hand, he gently pursed his white beard under his chin, the master of Xianfeng Taoist smiled slightly: "There are some on Taobao. If you want me to buy a set for you, don't 998, don't 668, just 188..."

Ao Muyang waved his hand and said, "Go on stage quickly, go on stage quickly, and there will be no fairy smell if you continue."

He didn't need to worry about this. The old Taoist priest walked up to the altar with a plain expression. He first supported the Moon-Breaking Star Scarf, the colorful skirt and the sleeves moved with the wind. Later, he raised the Ten Absolute Spirit Banners, and the style of the Taoist Heavenly Master suddenly came.

Applause was everywhere.

"Longzi and Longsun kneel three times and kowtow nine times, welcoming the memorial..."

"The Dragon King Youhai, and the disciple of the Three Pure Ones Sun Fujizi respectfully asks you to help the South China Sea to clarify the prosperity of the country, the people, the people, the people, the people, the people, the people, the good fortune and the blessings are unrestrained... The boundless achievements of the South China Sea to help the people..."

One ceremony was held, accompanied by the priest to speak on the stage, Dai Zongxi coughed and said, "The Hongyang Municipal Party Committee paid close attention to the Dragon King Festival in Longtou Village... The launch of this activity reflects the party's high attention to folk culture. Folk culture is an active factor in national culture, the foundation for promoting the development and change of national culture. Deepening folk customs research is a major event to promote the national spirit..."
