Since Caoqiao Street blew the clarion call of "Courtesy by Bridge" regional spiritual and cultural brand, there has been an upsurge of practicing "Ten Rites of Zhejiang Style" within its jurisdiction. Recently, on the occasion of the arrival of the summer solstice, a folk activity of "Faner Shakes Melon Sweet Summer Solstice and Le Taotao" was held in the Cultural Auditorium of Baishou Village, Caoqiao Street, which attracted many surrounding villagers to participate.
1. Learn to be polite: understand the knowledge of the summer solstice
The village cultural administrator is the on-site residents to popularize the knowledge of the historical origin, traditional customs, taboo activities and related poems of the summer solstice, so as to deepen the residents' understanding of the traditional solar terms and summer solstice and further stimulate the villagers' interest and enthusiasm in exploring folk culture.
2. Courtesy: Parent-child hand-painted round fans
Since ancient times, there has been the custom of giving round fans to each other on the summer solstice. In the activity, a hand-painted round fan link was specially designed to organize parents and children to paint on the transparent round fans. At the activity site, after explaining the coloring skills and precautions of hand-painted round fans, parents and children are eager to try, cooperate with each other and cooperate closely to create paintings. After bold color matching and careful sketching, the original transparent round fans are embellished into paintings full of vitality.
Third, be happy and courteous: the competition is civilized and orderly
In hot summer, watermelon, as an essential product to reduce summer heat, is deeply loved by residents. This activity creatively launched a watermelon tasting competition, which was divided into parents' group and children's group in turn. The contestants feasted, felt happy and sweet in tasting, and shared the rich life in communication. The activity site was lively, civilized and orderly.
The development of the folk activities on the summer solstice has enabled the villagers to further enhance their knowledge and understanding of the traditional solar terms and related folk culture in China. At the same time, by practicing "learning to be polite", "being polite" and "being polite", everyone has become a relay player of "Ten Rites of Zhejiang Style", creating a strong cultural atmosphere of civility and courtesy in a subtle way.
