What is the origin of "offering sacrifices to car gods"? This is mainly related to the dry local weather. Every harvest season, crops are in urgent need of irrigation, but due to drought, the phenomenon of "grabbing water" has gradually become a local custom. Due to the influence of climate and environment, the custom of "grabbing water" has become a normal phenomenon.
? It is precisely because of the difficulty in using water in rural areas in the south that the importance of "water" and the complexity of "taking water" are shown. Water trucks are used to take water manually in local rural areas, that is, water is taken from underground or ditches by treading on water trucks to irrigate farmland and ensure a bumper harvest.
? In such a situation, the importance of "waterwheel" is revealed, and the custom of "offering sacrifices to the waterwheel god" is to offer sacrifices to the waterwheel god. Therefore, the custom of "offering sacrifices to car gods" originated from the local natural environment and agricultural needs.
How to worship the car god? According to Jiangsu and Zhejiang Xiaomanri's "moving three cars", the so-called "three cars" refer to silk cars, oil cars and water wheels. Silk reeling, day and night operation; Garage grinding oil for sale; Waterwheels are used to pump water from streams and rivers to irrigate rice fields. When the season is full, silkworms begin to cocoon, and sericulture families are busy rocking silk carts. Rapeseed growers are busy making harvested rapeseed into rapeseed oil; Both the growth of early rice and the planting of mid-season rice in farmland need sufficient water, and farmers are busy turning water with treadmills. Therefore, there is a saying that "a villain moves three cars".
? The "car god" is aimed at the waterwheel. According to legend, Cheshen is a white dragon, which can protect inexhaustible water sources. When worshipping, people put fish, incense and other sacrifices on the waterwheel, and also put a glass of white water into the field when worshipping, which means praying for the prosperity of water sources. When I sprinkled a glass of water in the field, I murmured, "The car base faces south, and the field is full of water;" The car base faces north, and the fields are full of water; The car base faces east and the fields are flooded; The car base faces west, and the Tianhe River pours water to save the land. Blessed by the car god, great kindness and virtue. "
Legend of the car god? There is a legend in the south that Huangjiabang on the north bank of Qiantang River will "grab water" again after a year of drought. In the east of Dong Bang, there is a large paddy field of the yellow rich, and in the west of Bangxi, there is 13 land of the poor peasants. A few years ago, when grabbing water, Huang Man, who was rich, relied on deep pockets and hired hundreds of employees to grab water from the river and fill rice fields. However, farmers in Bangxi only irrigated half of the land, and poor farmers complained bitterly.
? It's time to grab water However, when I often go to treat diseases, I have to hold on to grab water and faint on the car base. Just then, a man stood out from the crowd watching the battle and went to Chang's car base to say to everyone, "Brothers, it's important to save people!" I'll take care of this water! " Then I jumped on the waterwheel and the car began to fill with water. He was driving alone, the wind was blowing on the soles of his feet, and the axle was spinning rapidly, like a dragon spraying water in a big mouth, which sucked up the water in Huangjiabang at once. Achang's fields were filled immediately, and the water overflowed into the fields of neighboring farmers.
? An old man with a white beard told everyone: "Thank the car god quickly. He is the white dragon in the sky and saved the people! " From then on, the custom of "worshipping car gods" was formed.
? This is a wonderful legend, which places people in awe of nature!
