Culture

Baijing temple fair,

origin

since ancient times, there have been many folk customs and festivals in Guzhou. From town to village, almost all of them have their own specific festivals, namely temple fair. Temple fairs originated from the worship of gods. The records of Zhouzhi refer to these sacrificial festivals, such as "there are many vulgar sacrifices, although the village is isolated and secluded, the God of competition plays, and there is no age and no moon in the big village". Temple fairs are mostly concentrated in late spring, summer and autumn, commonly known as "Guomiao". "Filial piety" says: "for the ancestral temple, for the ghost to enjoy, Zong - zunye, temple - appearance also, speech sacrifice ancestral temple, see ancestor's Zun appearance also." It can be seen that the folk ancient temples have already formed customs. According to the local traditions and people's beliefs, villages build temples for their worshipped "gods" (one is the traditional God, the other is the famous historical figures who once had), and set a certain day of a certain year as the sacrifice day (i.e. Temple Fair). At the temple fair, there are also competitions to welcome the gods, so as to attract people from far and near. At this time, all kinds of vendors gather and set up stalls to sell. With the passage of time and the establishment of the concept of "believing in science and opposing superstition" by the broad masses of the people, the activities of offering sacrifices to gods exist in name only, but opera singing and market trade are enduring, which fully shows that the custom of temple fair originated quite early. Baijing, located 25 kilometers to the east of the county, is a castle built by Han Xin in ancient times. On the street, there used to be a grand residence, horse name and drinking horse well for the past officials. It is the cultural market town center of Zhoudong. The temple fair has a large scale, second only to the city. The temple fair in Baijing is on July 22 of the lunar autumn, the same day as the largest temple fair in Zhoucheng. It is the festival of "King". Dawang temple is located on Jinlong mountain in the east of Baijing. It was built in 1651 and has a history of 364 years. It is said that the great king of Baijing (commonly known as the old king of Hutu, a doctor of Jin State in the spring and Autumn period) is very spiritual. The officials and people in the prefecture regard him as a God. Every time there is a drought, the bureaucrats and gentlemen in the prefecture have to ride to Baijing to welcome the great king to the Yuhuatai of Xiguan, burn incense and offer sacrifices ceremoniously. There is a description of "praying for rain in case of severe drought" in the records of Pingding Prefecture · Temple altar. This is just a spiritual sustenance of the people at that time, but many fascinating legends are also part of the temple fair culture.
