Introduction to folk customs (Shipu Fugang Ruyi customs)

Applicant: Xiangshan County, Zhejiang Province

Faithfulness, also known as "popular belief", is a conventional traditional idea formed in the process of people's long-term production and life. Under the domination of this idea, people will have psychological and behavioral identification with some folk phenomenon. The deities worshipped by traditional folk beliefs are an important source of belief and custom. Praying for blessings and avoiding harm is the internal reason for the continuous inheritance of traditional belief and custom. The collection of various forms of folk culture forms the cultural space of folk belief and custom.

Yushan fishing village, Shipu Town, Xiangshan County, Zhejiang Province and Fugang new village, Taitung County, Taiwan Province jointly believe in the little-known God of filial piety at sea, Ruyi Niang. The belief in custom of Ruyi Niang is a kind of folk phenomenon, which is similar to Mazu belief. It is the spiritual sustenance of fishermen in Ningbo, Taizhou and Wenzhou coastal areas of Zhejiang Province. It is said that people in eastern Zhejiang believe in Ruyi Niang for hundreds of years. The civil war in twentieth Century caused the Chinese mainland and Taiwan to separate from each other. Under this situation, the custom of visiting the relatives and relatives of Xiangshan and Taitung's Fukang (Xiao Shi PU) was formed.

As an integral part of folk belief, it provides an important reference for the study of folklore, religion and other disciplines.
