Customs

In the early years, there was a "Water Dragon Club" in our ancient city. There were many water dragons, which were hidden in temples all over the city, such as Qinghe Temple and Fish Shed. There are temples, Xuandi Temple, and Cuiwang Temple. Every year, no matter what happens outside, they come out for gatherings as usual to test their skills. On the dark wooden gates of the temples where water dragons are hidden, The four characters "Taiping Gongsuo" are prominently written on them. This is a professional fire-fighting team composed of strong young people, responsible for fire-fighting duties in urban areas and suburbs. The water dragon is a manually operated water pump, and the faucet is a water gun that sprays water. In order to give people a constant sense of alertness, the water dragon's body is painted red; in addition to the water dragon, there are many water buckets. The buckets are different from the usual buckets. The semi-cylindrical buckets are hung smoothly and neatly on the wall (take them out when in use). The red semi-cylinder buckets have written With the words "Pacific Barrel" on it.

The Water Dragon Club holds an annual gathering in an open venue. All the water dragons in the temples gathered together and sprayed firewood into a camouflaged fire pit. Young men wearing rattan hats and leggings moved quickly and rushed to be the first to spray water. The water dragons were double. The pressure pump of the cylinder has thick pressure rods on both sides, which requires seven or eight people to squeeze up and down together. The faster the squeeze, the higher the water pressure. The higher the water pressure, the more powerful and accurate the long shot will be. There were so many water dragons, and the young men were all squeezing them up and down desperately. The water dragons sprayed water and formed a dense water network in the air, which was spectacular. The water shot directly onto the fire and made a sizzling sound, which attracted onlookers. Waves of cheers from the crowd. The amazing and outstanding performance of the young men will also win the favor and admiration of the girls. The old people still have the old style, smiling and talking about the scene and their own style. The activities of the Water Dragon Club are held in August and September. In fact, this is an on-site test to see whether the water dragon can be used normally and an observation exercise for people to practice the actual skill of the water dragon. In the early years, around the New Year's Eve is generally a period when fires are most common among residents. Choosing this period to carry out activities is actually a preparatory work for residents to be prepared in case of a fire during the New Year's Eve period, and to be constantly prepared and ready.

In the early years of the ancient city, in the hollows of the streets and alleys, you would often find pools half as high as a person, covered with stone slabs to prevent children from falling in. This was called the "Water Dragon Club". The pool prepared for use is called "Taiping Pool" and can be opened and used at any time if an emergency occurs.

Now, the "Water Dragon Society" has disappeared with the development of historical times, but its role in the ancient city's fire protection in the early years is still indispensable.
