.

Qingyuan, where Bixi rafting is located, is high in the northwest and low in the southeast, with diverse terrain, abundant rainfall, developed water system, numerous canyons and rivers, and dense ecological, hydraulic and tourism resources. It is a good place to develop rafting. In recent years, the original ecological drifting movement is in the ascendant in the city. By the end of last year, there were 11 drifting routes in the city, with an annual number of 3.8 million drifters and an operating income of more than 20 million yuan. Qingyuan City recently decided to unify the name of rafting, build Qingyuan rafting brand, and will hold the first national rafting championship at the end of April this year. At the same time, we should do a good job in overall planning to prevent disorderly development and ecological damage. When we develop rafting projects, we should also develop other sports activities to change the phenomenon of single project and improve the efficiency of resource utilization.

Bixi rafting is 6 kilometers long and takes about an hour and a half. Among them, there are many places where the rapids and falls are large. After the torrent, they often relax and want to wring the water on their clothes to lighten their weight. There is another big fall in front of them, and all the cells of the whole body are mobilized at once. The biggest selling point of Bixi rafting is the big drop of 20 meters. 80% of the people must come for the "20 meters". This drop is located in the back section. Before it was a quiet and smooth place. There was also a hint that there would be a 20 meter drop in front of it. The narrow water channel was planted with green grass. Gradually, it became clear. The water surface like a mirror was hidden and the sound of the water was loud. The most exciting section of the 20 meter drop appeared in front of it. Some staff have been guarding the position before the fall, waiting for the rubber to be put in the right position, reminding us to pay attention to hold the handrail. Looking forward, I can only see that the current in front of me is surging rapidly, suddenly hanging in the air at a certain place, and the boat rushes straight down. I can only hear the loud sound of the water. The splashing water is constantly splashing on my face and hands. It's very cold. I feel like I'm falling down very quickly. I can break a big hole in the water, and the rising water can almost submerge people.

On this day, when it was just dawn, Yao old man blew the horn horn at the top of the village to wake up all the families to cook. The village's gentlemen (Shigong) gathered in front of the earth temple to kill chickens, toast meat, burn paper money, recite the Yao scriptures, offer sacrifices to the earth God and ancestors, and pray for good weather, bumper crops and prosperous animals. The sacrificial ceremony is very grand. Several gentlemen ring the brass bell, ring the Gong, recite the Yao scriptures and dance. From time to time, they set off iron cannons to sow corn, rice, millet and other seeds in all directions. Some Yao villages also recommend three strong young people to play the roles of black faced man (wearing a wide brimmed cow hat, a thick cotton vest soaked in tung oil, and smearing his face with black soot mixed with oil at the bottom of the pot), yellow faced man (smearing his face with some yellow pigment) and white faced man (smearing his face with some white pigment). These three people keep running in the fields and villages, holding sticks, wooden knives and wooden guns To pursue them means to drive away evil forces, eliminate disasters, and protect the safety and grain harvest of the mountain stronghold. At the end of the sacrificial ceremony, the leader Gong (Yao Lao) fired six iron earth cannons at the intersection of Shanzhai. Yao people smelled the cannons and carried farm tools out to gather at the intersection of Shanzhai. The leader stood at a high place, preaching the village rules to the people, persuading them to work hard, take good care of the pigs and cattle, and not to damage the crops. After the leader Gong fired six iron and earth cannons again, the Yao people rushed to the fields and mountains in the face of the rising sun and began the new year's farming.

At night, the village is full of jubilation. Every family kills chickens, cooks pork and tofu, worships ancestors, and entertains relatives and friends. If the year is chosen to hold "shuoge hall" or "Xiangge hall", on this day, all the people in the platoon will go to Panwang temple to burn incense and offer sacrifices to their ancestors, so this festival is also called "Qiyuan Festival".

Throwing tofu

According to legend, the custom of throwing tofu in shegangxia village originated from the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, when tofu was abundant in the local area. On the 13th day of the first lunar month, a villager accidentally turned over tofu on the ground, attracting many swallows to peck. Later, they built nests and multiplied, which brought great harvest to the crops that year. The villagers believed that the Swallows had brought them a good harvest, so they threw tofu onto the eaves one after another to let the swallows peck. As a custom, tofu was preserved. Later, it gradually evolved into people throwing tofu at each other to pray for good weather, abundant grain, strong body and rich life in the new year.

On the festival day, with the loud sound of gongs, drums and firecrackers, four or five hundred honest villagers of shegangxia village poured out. People grabbed tofu and chased tofu for fun. Then tofu danced like snowflakes among the carnival crowd and hit people's faces and bodies. Especially the young people, chasing, fighting, Carnival scenes blend with the local simple and rough folk customs, its lively is no less than the Western carnival, South America's Tomato Festival. After a while of beating and smearing, all the villagers, old and young, turned into big faces. They couldn't tell who was the boy and who was the girl, and they all laughed.
