The Fishing Festival is a celebration with the theme of thanking the ocean and protecting the ocean. It is mainly for people who make a living from the fishing industry in coastal areas to celebrate the opening of the sea for fishing.
The reason why the fishing festival is grand is that fishermen in the East China Sea have had such a tradition since ancient times. In ancient times, they put up sacrifices to pray for the Dragon King to bless the rich harvest of fish, and pray for Mazu to bless the sailing fishing boats to return home smoothly without wind or waves. Today, people have changed from praying for blessings to being grateful, and we can get a glimpse from the theme of the fishing festival. Protect the ocean, thank the ocean, protect this blue crystal, and thank it for its selfless gift.
The content of the fishing festival is also very rich, and the ceremony of offering sacrifices to the sea, which continues the ancient tradition, is grand and warm, as if people sang and saw people dancing similar dances thousands of years ago, begging the Dragon King to keep one side safe; The sailing ceremony was spectacular and shocking. More than 1 fishing boats slowly began to sail under the sunlight. The golden sunlight dyed the sparkling sea water and plated these steel behemoths, which made people wonder at the tacit cooperation between steel and softness. The subsequent performances were also wonderful, which vividly showed the simplicity and enthusiasm of fishermen.
Besides the performances, the most exciting thing for the fishing festival is all kinds of delicious seafood. Among them, sixteen bowls are full of sincerity. The red crabs hold the golden oily crab yellow, the curled red shrimps are placed in a wavy shape, the sound of the squid on the barbecue grill is a warm kiss, and the tender Spanish mackerel jiaozi, fresh fish sashimi with a special sauce, bites down and bursts into a strong ocean flavor and fireworks all bloom, which makes people feel full of food.
is there another experience? When a fisherman watches seabirds for one day, stays in the fishing village for one night, gets up early and puts on the local fishermen's costumes and sets off with the fishing boat in the fisherman's cell. The sea and sunshine are not like human beings, but when he starts fishing, he can't help sighing about the selflessness and charm of Mother Ocean. It is also particularly interesting for seabirds who are not afraid of people to shuttle between the fishing boat and occasionally steal a small fish that has just been picked up when they are unprepared. After coming back, the fishing village at night fell into a deep sleep with the ancient wave rhythm, looked up at the twinkling stars in the sky, and heard fishermen humming fishing songs in their ears, which made people feel back to nature.
