Jiang Feifei, "Okay, then let's rest for a while." ”

I didn't feel tired at all, and I was very excited.

The car got off the Sixth Ring Road, in the Yongding River Valley, along the Yongding River course, walked for a while, and then drilled through a round hole door and entered the deep mountains.

The winding mountain road is not very fast, only two cars, up and down lanes, and there is a yellow line dividing. Because it wasn't a Sunday, there weren't many cars going up the mountain, and there were almost no cars going down. The car was not driving fast, and the mountains on both sides were green, with pines and cypresses, shrubs, and weeds, fluttering in the breeze, which was really beautiful. I was fascinated and fascinated by the view outside.

The mountain road is winding, although the car is not fast, I am still a little dizzy, unconsciously open the window, a cool breeze blows, the mind is particularly light, and the scenery is more intimate. Jiang Feifei didn't sleep, she was also looking at the scenery outside the window. Jiang Bayi chatted with his buddy who was driving.

After more than an hour of trekking, we came to the foot of Miaofeng Mountain, which was blocked by the railing of the scenic spot. Jiang Ba got out of the car and talked with the two people for a while, and there was an extra car in front of him to lead the way for us.

Jiang Bayi, "My classmate's father drove the car himself, and their father and son showed us the way. ”

The tour guide changed the topic, "Miaofeng Mountain, in addition to the beautiful scenic spots, rich cultural connotation, also has two biggest features, one is the temple fair, the other is the flower party." ”

As we walked back, she introduced, "The temple fair in Beijing originated in the Liao Dynasty and is called the "Shangsi Spring Outing". The temple fairs of the Yuan and Ming dynasties further emerged. Miaofeng Mountain temple fair began in the Ming Dynasty, every year from the first day of the fourth lunar month to the eighteenth Miaofeng Mountain opened for more than half a month, tens of thousands of pilgrims flocked to the way, some step by step, three steps and one buckle; Some even use saddles, rolling bricks, ear arrows, hanging lamps, etc. to incense to show their piety. All kinds of folk incense will be practiced while walking, flags and flags flutter, drums and chimes sound in unison, and the audience is like a tide. During the temple fair period of Miaofeng Mountain, Kyoto is empty of thousands of people, and its scale can be called the first in North China.

The traditional temple fair of Miaofeng Mountain began in the Chongzhen period of the Ming Dynasty and has a history of more than 300 years. From the first day of the fourth lunar month to the fifteenth day of the fourth lunar month every year, hundreds of thousands of good men and women from all over the country, hundreds of folk flowers will gather at Miaofeng Mountain, incense to the top of the mountain, reward the mountain competition, soup porridge and tea, the scene is spectacular, and the piety of the believers is rare. Qing Dynasty's "Yanjing Chronicles" contains: "Miaofeng Mountain belongs to April every year, since the first half of the temple is opened, the incense is extremely prosperous, the people are smouldered, the carriages and horses are noisy, the lights at night are as bright as the columns, and the incense can really be in the world." In 1925, the Institute of Sinology of Peking University conducted a special investigation on the temple fair of Miaofeng Mountain and published the "Miaofeng Mountain Incense Special Number", which created a precedent for the field investigation of folklore in China, and Miaofeng Mountain became the birthplace of Chinese folk culture. ”

Finally, she talked about the flower fair, "before the Qing Dynasty, Miaofeng Mountain had two temple fairs a year, the Chunxiang temple fair from the first to the eighteenth day of the fourth lunar month and the autumn incense temple fair from the first to the fifteenth day of the seventh lunar month. During the prosperous period of the Fengshan temple fair, there were hundreds of flower fairs, and since the restoration of the Miaofeng Mountain temple fair in 1990, there have been more than 130 folk flower fairs following the traditional rules to perform at the top of Miaofeng Mountain. ”

We had already entered the parking lot, and the tour guide politely said, "I hope this tour will leave a deep impression on you, thank you." ”

We all expressed our gratitude.

Jiang Bayi's father led our convoy and continued to move forward, bypassing the main peak of Miaofeng Mountain and coming down the mountain.

The proprietress and the proprietress were already waiting at the door, and after exchanging pleasantries with the deputy mayor, they led us into a small wooden house, where a sumptuous peasant meal had been set up.
