September 1st, Dragon King Festival.

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

"Historically, the Red Ocean is a small fishing village, from a small fishing village to a large fishing village, a small city, a big city, before the reform and opening up, the people in the Red Ocean area still rely on the sea for their livelihood, rely on fishing for a living, this is the so-called sea to eat the sea ......"

"In order to overcome the fear of the sea and to gain a sense of spiritual stability, fishermen worshiped the sea and worshiped the gods in various ways, and even built their own temples in each fishing village before liberation......"

"Fishermen believe that one side of the water and soil supports one side of the people, and one side of the gods also guards the safety of the other, so they use various ways to pray for the safety of the sea, and our ancestors developed the dragon king festival, which used to be the most important folk activity in our local area......"

A high platform was erected on the renovated dock, and the sweet voice of Lu Zhizi sounded through the speakers and was transmitted to the beaches in all directions.

At this time, the beach is bustling with people, and the whole village has come to the pier to watch the Dragon King Festival, and the surrounding tourists have also come to see the excitement.

On the reef beach in the distance, a few sea turtles poke their heads, and the occasional firecracker sound here, and they are so frightened that they quickly dive into the water.

A group of village dogs ran happily through the crowd, their heads raised and their buttocks flapping, their paws flailing, and they looked like they were dashing.

At the head of the pack was the general, whose eyes were shining, looking for the beautiful little brought by the tourists, who were ready to open a foreign meat, and many of the dogs brought by the tourists were of foreign breeds.

On the sea behind the pier, a column of water rose into the sky, and after this column of water fell, a thicker column of water spewed out of the sea diagonally, the former by a tiger, the latter by a sperm whale.

A jet of water erupted, two whales emerged from the water, the tiger showed half of its head, and two big black eyes watched it all curiously, and the sperm whale was calm and motionless.

Pods of porpoises and finless porpoises also emerge, skimming the surface of the sea, occasionally jumping out of the sea to show their bodies in the sun, full of vitality.

Tourists snapped their cameras and mobile phones, and when the cordon in front of the pier was lifted, they scrambled to rush over.

Ao Muyang returned to the dock in a small boat, and there was a shining golden light behind him, which was the golden droplets he scattered, otherwise the dolphins and finless porpoises would all emerge from the water.

Seeing him on the dock, Ao Mudong shouted: "Dragon's head, the festival begins?"

Ao Muyang nodded and said, "At the beginning, have you put all the things I got back into the water?"

Ao Wenchang took the time to turn around and said, "I'm ready, but do you really want to do this, can you do it?" I don't doubt you, I just think it's a little more difficult!"

Ao Muyang said with a smile: "Today I will give you the true means to see the faucet!"

The Dragon King Festival has not been held for many years, but this year it was finally launched again, and the preparation was a little lacking.

In fact, the dragon king festival in the village is not interesting, it is a blessing ceremony, praying for the safety of navigation and praying for a good harvest for fishermen who set off for sea operations.

Since Ao Muyang wanted to make it a tourist project, naturally it couldn't be so simple, he asked the old people in the village to restore some projects, and then held a meeting with the village cadres, and finally came out with this festival ceremony.

At nine o'clock in the morning, a series of firecrackers rang off and smoke rose from the pier.

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

As the host, Lu Zhizi finally touched up her makeup and came to the stage.

Today she wore a white gauze skirt embroidered with gold edges, with a slender white gauze passing through her arms and back, the sea breeze blowing, and the skirt, gauze sleeves, and white gauze tassels hunting and flying.

Her black hair was carefully combed, with gold threads inside, and two short tufts of hair were combed into small braids hanging down in front of her ears, and the other hair fluttered in the wind, so that the black hair and the white gauze were intertwined, and the golden light was folded!

Because it is a dragon king sacrifice, she wears two small dragon horns as ornaments on her smooth forehead, which adds two points of cute and quirky temperament to her.

When she wore a white gauze on stage, the sea breeze blew the fog fluttering, and the surrounding tourists suddenly straightened their eyes.

"In this world, there really is a dragon girl. "Some tourists were immediately amazed.

The deer held the purple stage and stroked his arm, the bells and drums played in unison, and the salute sounded at the same time, and the festival scene suddenly became lively.

"Please the chief priest and the accompanying priest on the stage, please take the orchestra, honor guard, and suona team in place, ready to welcome the gods!"

Ao Muyang designed the festival to welcome the gods, then incense, then raise the flag, and finally make offerings, interspersed with traditional dance and music performances.

He is the head of the village and the leader of the village fleet, so he is naturally a well-deserved chief priest, and the accompanying priest is Dai Zongxi, director of the Oceanic and Fisheries Bureau.

Ao Muyang fooled Dai Zongxi on the grounds of developing tourism in the Red Ocean and the local fishing culture in the Red Ocean. Originally, he wanted Dai Zongxi to be the chief priest, but Dai Zongxi did not agree, saying that party members could not take the lead in feudal superstition......

The main person in charge of welcoming the gods is the Taoist priest Fu Jizi in the town, and the master wears the Tianxian cave robe today, which is a Taoist magic robe, with a large open placket, long and calf, and long sleeves.

The main color of the robe is purple, and there are various Taoist auspicious patterns embroidered with gold and silver threads, such as Yuluo Xiaotai, sun, moon and stars, gossip, pagoda, dragon and phoenix, crane, unicorn, etc., the appearance is simple and simple, and there is a sense of treasure and solemnity.

When Fu Jizi came to power, Ao Dao exclaimed: ", Fu Jizi, I don't usually see that you still have this equipment, this robe is really fried." ”

Stretching out his hand and gently brushing the white beard under his chin, the master of the fairy wind bone smiled slightly: "What is on Taobao, if you want me to buy a set for you, don't want 998, don't want 668, just 188 ......"

Ao Muyang waved his hand and said: "Hurry up to the stage, hurry up to the stage, and there will be no fairy smell if you continue to talk about it." ”

He didn't need to worry about this, he saw the old Taoist priest walk up to the altar with a flat face, he first helped the moon and broke the star scarf, and the neon clothes and Xia sleeves moved with the wind, and then he raised the ten peerless spirit flags, and the demeanor of the Taoist Heavenly Master suddenly came.

Applause erupted.

"Long Zi Long Sun Xing knelt three times and bowed nine times to welcome Shuwen ......"

"Dragon King Youhai, Sanqing disciple Sun Fu Jizi please listen, pray for the South China Sea to clarify the country, the people, the peace, the happiness, the good wishes, the good health...... Sanctify the boundless merits of the South China Sea, help the people in danger, and ......"

One by one, the ceremonies were launched, and the attendants came to the stage to speak, Dai Zongxi coughed and said: "For the Dragon King Festival activities in Longtou Village, the Party Committee of Hongyang City Government pays deep attention to it...... The development of this activity reflects the great importance that the party attaches to folk culture. Folk culture is an active factor in national culture, and it is the basis for promoting the development and reform of national culture......"
