Oktoberfest, also known as Oktoberfest, originated on October 12, 1810, and is commonly known as Oktoberfest because the main drink during this festival is beer.
Held in Munich, Germany, from late September to early October every year, it lasts for two weeks until the first Sunday in October and is the biggest event of the year in Munich.
Oktoberfest, along with the London Oktoberfest in the United Kingdom and the Denver Oktoberfest in the United States, are the three most famous beer festivals in the world.
Oktoberfest is in a place called "Theresienwiese", which is simply "Wiesen" in the Bavarian dialect, which means pasture.
About six million people participate in it every year.
From 1810 to 2014, Oktoberfest has a history of 204 years. During this period, it was suspended for five years due to the First World War and seven years during the Second World War. Since 1946, the scale of the festival has become larger and larger, so that it has truly become a grand folk festival.
On October 12, 1810, Crown Prince Ludwig of Bavaria and Princess Therese Charlotte Louise of the Kingdom of Saxony were married.
Joseph, the father of the crown prince, decided to hold a two-day celebration for his son's wedding. As a sign of the king's grace to his subjects, during the two days of the event, 4 places in Munich served free meals and drinks to all the common people.
The Kingdom's Horse Guards also held horse races and shooting competitions on a large lawn southwest of Munich to add to the fun. To commemorate the holiday, the officers and soldiers who participated in the contest asked the king to name the lawn after the bride Thereser, and since then the lawn has been called "Thereser" meadow.
Because of the impress on the festival, it was suggested that in 1811 it would be held again. Since then, it will be held once a year. This is the origin of the October Festival.
In 1813, due to the Napoleonic invasion, the festival was cancelled for the first time, but after the external invasion subsided, the festival was restored and expanded in scale, including rock climbing, bowling, swinging and other events in addition to horse races.
The first merry-go-round was erected on the venue of the 1818 October Festival.
In addition, other items for the entertainment of the lower class citizens have also been added, such as the lottery booth has attracted a lot of people to participate, and the prizes are mostly ceramics, silverware, jewelry, etc.
In 1819 the City of Munich took over the Oktoberfest and became an annual fixture. In 1850 a 20-metre-high statue of the Bavarian god was unveiled on the lawn of Theresia, and three years later a Roman temple was built under the Bavarian statue.
In the following years, the October Festival was forced to be cancelled several times, such as the cholera of 1854 and 1873, the Austro-Prussian War of 1866, and the Franco-German War of 1870.
At the end of the 19th century, the Munich Oktoberfest gradually developed into a world-renowned folk festival. The time of the October Festival was gradually extended and changed.
With the sun shining and the weather relatively warm in September, the "October Festival" has become the festival with only one last weekend in October. In 1880, the city government granted permission to sell beer on the October Festival, and in 1881 the first beer brewer settled on the October Festival, and more than 400 stalls were lit up at night, lighting up the entire night sky.
To add seating and join bands, brewers are converting small beer halls into large beer tents, and more and more circus and amusement park operators are coming to cheer up the festival.
1910 marked the 100th anniversary of Oktoberfest, and 1.2 million litres of beer were drunk that year. More than 12,000 people were accommodated in the largest beer tent at the time.
Oktoberfest was interrupted between 1914 and 1918 due to the First World War, and the economy had not yet fully recovered after the war, so only one smaller "Autumn Oktoberfest" was held in 1919 and 1920, and the Oktoberfest was cancelled again from 1923 to 1924 due to worldwide inflation.
From 1939 to 1945, the Oktoberfest was not held during the Second World War, and from 1946 to 1948, only the smaller Oktoberfest was held.
So far, the Oktoberfest has been interrupted a total of 24 times since its inception.
In 1950, the mayor of Munich, Thomas Willener, opened the festival by striking the first keg of freshly brewed beer with a mallet, and this special opening became a tradition of the Oktoberfest ever since.
After the war, the horse races at the Oktoberfest were cancelled and only re-held in 1960 for the 150th anniversary of the Oktoberfest.
A tragic scene in the history of the Oktoberfest took place on September 26, 1980. An explosion at the entrance to the Oktoberfest grounds that day killed 13 people and injured more than 200 people, 68 of them seriously. The terrorist attack was the worst in German history.
On September 17, 2016, the 183rd Oktoberfest opened in the rain.
On the opening day of the festival, there is a grand opening ceremony and a colorful parade organized by the major breweries.
The opening ceremony was presided over by the Mayor of Munich in a makeshift tent. At 12 noon, to the sound of 12 gun salutes and music, the mayor used a mallet to knock the brass faucet into a large beer keg, then unscrewed the faucet, released the beer, and served it in a special large beer glass.
The mayor drank the first cup, and the famous October Festival officially began.
Every year, on the first Sunday of the Oktoberfest, people from all over Germany dress up in their distinctive national costumes, play music, and travel through the city center of Munich to the Oktoberfest.
People dressed themselves up as well-dressed aristocratic dukes in ancient times, princesses and ladies dressed in silk and satin, and drove classical carriages decorated with flowers, and many people wore the clothes worn by peasants for festivals.
The participants ranged from young to old, including housewives, middle school students, and even kindergarten children. The characters are also colorful, from the shepherd boy under the Alps, to the miller on the Rhine, to the nuns of the church in Cologne, to the old man of North Germany and Prussia.
In order to attract local customers and foreign visitors to Munich, Munich's eight breweries set up a huge beer tent on the Treser Grand Place before the festival, called "Bierzelten" in German, which is larger and more luxurious than ordinary tents.
Long wooden tables and benches are placed in each tent, and at one end of the tent there is a makeshift stage where a folk band plays joyful folk music. Tents generally can accommodate three to four thousand people, with the largest having 7,000 seats.
Each brewery usually only offers one brewery beer, and in order to stand out from the crowd, each brewery has built its own brewery with a unique and comfortable atmosphere.
The exterior of the beer shed is unconventional, but the interior is mostly a pattern, with long wooden tables and chairs that can seat 20 people in rows, and the center of the venue is a high performance stage decorated with flowers and lights, and the roof of the shed is decorated with huge satin and woven garlands.
Waitresses dressed in Bavarian national costumes serve drinks to customers in each tent.
The Wiesenbier, a beer made for the Oktoberfest event, is darker and more powerful than the usual beer, and is served in a one-liter glass called "Maß", which can accommodate 3,000 to 10,000 people, and is only allowed to be served by local Munich wine merchants.
Drinkers also consume a lot of food, mostly traditional home-cooked snacks such as sausages, roast chicken, kimchi and roast oxtail.
You don't need to buy a ticket to visit the October Festival, but you have to buy a ticket for each ride. And the price of beer is also increasing year by year, but the number of tourists is still increasing every year.
During the Oktoberfest, beer and broiler chicken sales are staggering. In 1981, there were 6.2 million tourists and 4.2 million litres of beer were drunk. In 1984 the number of tourists increased to 7 million, 5 million liters of beer were drunk, and 660,000 chickens were eaten.
The current number is maintained at around 6 million per year. Many of these tourists come from foreign countries, mainly from Italy, the United States, Japan and Australia. In recent years, a new parade of traditional costumes has been added to the Oktoberfest, with many visitors dressed in traditional leather pants and leoted dresses to join the procession.
Each Oktoberfest consumes around 6 million liters of beer, 500,000 chickens, 100 cows and generates 830 million euros in revenue for Munich.
Alcoholism at Oktoberfest is also a growing problem.
In order to prevent the Oktoberfest from turning into a noisy festival of drunkards, and to keep the festival in its traditional atmosphere so that the elderly and children can also participate, in 2005 the organizers of the event came up with the slogan "Quiet Oktoberfest", which stipulated that the operators of the beer hall could only play traditional wind music before 6 p.m., and the decibels of the music should not exceed 85 decibels, and that pop music and percussion instruments could only be played in the evening.
Unlike ordinary foreign tourists, Ye Chao is not worried about public security at all, even if the beer festival becomes a battlefield, it will not hurt him with energy armor and body protection.
He's not afraid of drinking and making trouble.
