When there is a fishing moratorium, there will naturally be a fishing day, which makes many fishermen and crew have no work to do compared to the fishing moratorium. The fishing festival has gradually become a popular custom, attracting the love and attention of many tourists and local residents.

Although the sea festival and fishing ceremony in Haichen Town are not as lively as some other well-known fishing ports. But in fact, even if the government does not participate in the formation, the owners of fishing boats who go to the sea will worship the god of the sea before going to sea.

As an old ship owner who has been at sea in the town for many years, Zhou Yang, an old ship owner hired by Zhuang Haiyang before, was also invited to become a member of the incense worship ceremony. Under his recommendation, Zhuang Haiyang also appeared in the sequence of the ship's owner's incense.

Unlike other old ship owners, Zhuang Haiyang, the new ship owner, is a little too young. But those fishermen in the town know very well that Zhuang Haiyang has the qualifications to honor the head incense. Although he is young, he is extremely capable of fishing.

At Zhou Yang's suggestion, Zhuang Haiyang donated a sum of money to the Organizing Committee of the Fishing Festival, and arranged Wang Yanming and Zhou Shengjie into the team of worshipping incense. Although the two of them are outsiders, they also need to be responsible for driving a boat for Zhuang Haiyang in the future!

Looking at the sacrificial uniforms distributed by the organizing committee, other comrades-in-arms who were watching the excitement also smiled and said: "Lao Wang, Shengjie, this dress is very temperamental! Captain Xinzha, when we go to sea in the future, we will count on you to control the direction." ”

Facing the jokes of his comrades-in-arms, Wang Yanming also said directly: "What you really have to count on is that guy." Staying in a group of middle-aged and elderly people, the ocean is really a bit dazzling! It seems that his performance is really impressive. ”

If you want to enter the position of the main priest at one time, you must either make more free donations or get a recommendation from the fishermen. Those who have the ability will be respected there.

Although Zhuang Haiyang has not been fishing for a long time, the harvest he receives every time he returns from fishing has made other boat owners admire. In addition, Zhou Yang and the fishermen jointly recommended it, and the organizing committee was also happy to sell personal favors.

Moreover, Zhuang Haiyang also gave a lot of sponsorship fees, which greatly reduced the financial pressure of the organizing committee. In addition to the town giving some money to handle such a sea fishing ceremony, more expenses still have to be raised by the organizing committee.

And this money, in name, is also a sacrificial fee dedicated to the god of the sea, and using this money to hold such a fishing festival has also become a tradition in the town. At least the people who came to see the excitement in the town today are even more lively than the Lantern Festival.

Under Zhou Yang's engine, Zhuang Haiyang also asked several chief priests about the matters that need to be paid attention to in the sacrifice. But in fact, they don't have to do anything at all. Just follow the instructions of the priest and offer sandalwood to the god of the sea.

In contrast, Concubine Li took a group of roommates, holding Zhuang Haiyang's live broadcast equipment, to broadcast the sea sacrifice ceremony live for netizens in the live broadcast room. For many netizens, such a sea fishing ceremony is also novel.

"There are a lot of people! It looks like it's so lively!"

"Sacrifice to the sea to fish, seafood, hurry up and hide!"

"High-energy warning! A large number of fishing boats are about to go to sea, please retreat quickly!"

What to do with such a ceremony, netizens in the live broadcast room naturally know. The most surprising thing for netizens was that Concubine Li served as a part-time anchor for the first time, explaining about the sea sacrifice and fishing for Zhuang Haiyang, who had no time to broadcast live in person.

Regarding Zhuang Haiyang's 'fisherman' live broadcast room, even the leaders of the town have heard of it. In recent years, many people know the promotion of some Internet celebrities for the tourism industry. And Zhuang Haiyang undoubtedly has this energy.

Because of this, Concubine Li also got a commentator sent by the organizing committee to tell users in the live broadcast room about the origin of fishing in the sea and what needs to be paid attention to, which made many netizens feel that they have benefited a lot.

Seeing the barrage sent by netizens, Concubine Li, who served as the temporary commentator, also said in a timely manner: "The auspicious time has arrived, and the ceremony will begin soon!"

As Concubine Li said this, more than 20 young and strong men, carrying big speakers, began to appear in the live broadcast camera raised by Concubine Li. Seeing these people carrying horns, many netizens quieted down.

Wait until the master of ceremonies holds up the microphone and says, "Blow the trumpet, start the sacrifice!"

The sound of the horn soon spread throughout the entire Tanah Lot temple. Even netizens in the live broadcast room can hear a clear sound. The intermittent sound of the horn also announced the official start of the sacrificial ceremony.

Looking at Zhuang Haiyang, who was honestly staying in the crowd of the main priest in the live broadcast footage, many netizens also smiled and said: "Today's fisherman is dressed very stylishly!

"It's really rare to see such a young chief priest!"

"Fisherman, it seems that he is also a famous person in the town!"

Regarding the barrage sent by netizens, even if Concubine Li saw it, she didn't explain much. In her opinion, she is only responsible for lifting the live broadcast equipment today, as for the barrage of netizens, if she cares, then netizens have no intention of watching the ceremony process at all.

As the trumpet sounded, the sound of fireworks and firecrackers was also heard on the seaside facing Tanah Lot Temple. The only pity is that it's daytime, so the fireworks launched into the sky can't be seen to be very exciting.

When the fireworks and firecrackers were over, at the urging of the master of ceremonies, the young man in charge of lighting the long sandalwood also handed the lit long sandalwood to the hands of several old captains of the main priest. Although he doesn't understand it very well, Zhuang Haiyang still has a lot to learn.

Holding a long sandalwood in both hands, he quietly waited for the master of ceremonies' transmission. It didn't take long for the voice of the master of ceremonies to come from the sacrificial ground: "Please presiding priest, offer sandalwood to the god of the sea, pray that the fishing boat will go to sea safely and return with a full load!"

The voice fell, and Zhou Yang, who was standing beside Zhuang Haiyang, also said in a timely manner: "Xiao Zhuang, you just follow me later, don't worry!"

"Well, Uncle Zhou, I know!"

"Let's go!"

As soon as he heard Zhou Yang's explanation, the old captain who led the way said softly. Then, with a respectful face and a long sandalwood in his hands, he began to walk up the stairs to the altar of Tanah Lot to offer incense.

After worshipping the incense, the chief priest began to stand on the futon in front of Tanah Lot and kowtow to the three gods of the sea enshrined in the temple. Zhuang Haiyang, who followed the main priest, also followed and bowed to the sea god in the temple.

Even if I know in my heart, this kind of sacrificial ritual is more about praying for inner peace. If you really encounter danger at sea, it is almost impossible to count on the sea god to rescue. But as a fisherman, Zhuang Haiyang still maintains his respect for the god of the sea.

The three kowtows and got up, and the staff next to them also said in a timely manner: "Several, please go this way!"

With Zhuang Haiyang and several chief priests leaving, the master of ceremonies continued: "Offer five grains to the sea god, pray for good wind and rain, abundant grains, and peace for the country and the people!"

Five graceful women dressed in ama costumes, each holding a plate of grain, began to walk up to the altar and offer carefully selected grain offerings to the sea god. This is followed by five locally grown fruits.

At the end of the three rounds of the ceremony, the master of ceremonies continued: "Offer wine to the god of the sea, pray that the sea will be inclusive, and all the boats and fishermen who go out to sea will be safe and sound!"

As the helmsmen who were screened out, Wang Yanming and Zhou Shengjie followed many people who served as captains, and they also walked to the altar in waves. Pour the sacrificial wine in your hand into the wine jar in front of the altar to end the ritual.

After offering wine, another person made three animal offerings to the sea god. For this wave of sacrifices, netizens who watched the live broadcast also felt that it was very fresh and cumbersome. But this kind of sea sacrifice ceremony is really difficult for ordinary people to have the opportunity to see.

Being able to witness such an interesting sea fishing ceremony through the live broadcast room, many netizens also feel very fresh. Correspondingly, the video of this live broadcast will be reprinted by the platform one after another in the end.

Knowing that providing video resources can also create wealth, Concubine Li is also a little more enthusiastic about running a good live broadcast room. In her opinion, Zhuang Haiyang, who receives tourists, basically does not make money, and can only earn some shares by reprinting videos.

When Zhuang Haiyang goes to sea again, I believe that the videos of going to the sea will be put into the live broadcast room one after another as before, for netizens to enjoy. For the real scenery of the open sea, even many people who grow up by the sea may not have the opportunity to see it.

"The sacrifice is over! Salute the cannon, pray that all the fishermen who go to sea this year will be safe and sound, and the cabin will be full of fish, shrimp and crabs!"

At the end of the sacrificial ceremony, there was another round of fireworks and firecrackers, which surrounded the entire Poseah Lot temple. Immediately afterwards, the troupe invited by the organizing committee began to perform for the audience.

Folk props such as fish, shrimp, crabs, and dragon lanterns that appear in the Lantern Festival lanterns have also been moved to the square in front of Tanah Lot and have begun to dance. Such a lively scene makes many tourists feel that they have gained a lot.

Even the netizens in the live broadcast room, looking at those who are dressed in scenes and playing the role of shrimp soldiers and crab generals, although they know that they are fake at a glance, they still feel quite happy. Especially the person with the fishing boat on his body makes people feel festive when they look at it.

On the other hand, Zhuang Haiyang at this moment greeted Zhou Yang and others, and also returned to Concubine Li. Seeing the returning Zhuang Haiyang, Concubine Li also smiled and said, "How does it feel to be the main priest?"

"It's not like you didn't see it! Except for getting to know a few more people, I didn't think there was anything special. However, if we invite you again next year, we can continue to sponsor it. ”

In Zhuang Haiyang's view, he can become a member of the main priesthood, and it is more because of the sponsorship fee. In addition, the town leaders in the organizing committee seem to know Zhuang Haiyang's popularity on the Internet, hoping to use his popularity on the Internet.

If we can publicize this fishing ceremony, perhaps next year, we will be able to attract more tourists from other places. The more tourists come to the town, the more economic benefits can be generated by food, clothing, housing and transportation.

Even if some town leaders felt that it was a pity to leave Nanshan Island for Zhuang Haiyang's own use for free. But now it seems that they think Zhuang Haiyang is doing well. During the summer vacation, tourists from Nanshan Island also spend money in the town.

The various supplies purchased from the town by Nanshan Island alone every month can feed many businesses. The most admired by the town leaders is undoubtedly Zhuang Haiyang's fishing company, which pays a lot of taxes every month, which is also a big taxpayer!
