There is another legend about this sacrifice. It is said that pirates were rampant in the ancient South China Sea, and local fishermen struggled with pirates for their livelihood. In a big storm, everyone disappeared because of the super typhoon. . The pirates didn't appear, and neither did the fishermen who fought. In order to commemorate them, the villagers always gather together and pray for the safety of the sea season.
Sacrificial supplies such as fish, meat, incense and rice balls need to be prepared before the sacrifice. This kind of sea sacrifice activity began in the Ming Dynasty.
