Our country's Qingming Festival has its own characteristics. What kind of customs are there in Chengdu? The following is the editor's carefully recommended Chengdu Qingming Festival customs for everyone. I hope it can be helpful to you.

It is a custom in Chengdu to release water from Dujiangyan? In Chengdu, the Dujiangyan Water Release Festival during Qingming Festival is a very grand festival.

The Dujiangyan Irrigation Project is the lifeline of the Chengdu Plain, so the annual release of water before spring plowing is regarded as a sacred festival by local residents.

Historically, a grand water-releasing ceremony was held every year during the Qingming Festival in the third month of the lunar calendar to wish for a good agricultural harvest that year.

At that time, local officials will personally preside over the water release ceremony, and local people will also spontaneously organize to worship Li Bing and his son at the Erwang Temple and hold the Erwang Temple Fair, also known as the Qingming Festival.

In recent years, the Dujiangyan Municipal Government has changed the traditional Qingming Festival into a government-sponsored Water Release Festival, with water conservancy officials and honor guards in ancient costumes performing the entire process of the Water Release Festival.

There are folk singing and dancing performances here, which are fascinating.

March 20, 2014 0Chengdu Flower Fair? The Chengdu Flower Fair began in the Tang and Song Dynasties and has been continued to this day.

It has a history of more than a thousand years.

The address of the Flower Club is Qingyang Palace outside the west gate of Chengdu.

It is said that the birthday of Li Laojun, the founder of Taoism, is the 15th day of the second lunar month. Therefore, since the Tang Dynasty, people have held annual temple fairs here.

And because February in Chengdu is a season of sunny weather, pleasant spring, and flowers in full bloom, it is also said that February 15th is the birthday of flowers. Therefore, a flower party is held here every February and lasts until April.

Until the 19th.

Lu You, a poet of the Song Dynasty, described the plum blossoms in Chengdu as follows: "When I walked to the west of Jincheng City, I was as drunk as mud for the plum blossoms; for twenty miles, the fragrance continued, from Qingyang Palace to Huanhua Creek".

This shows that flower planting was very popular in the Ximen area of ??Chengdu at that time.

When the New Deal was implemented at the end of the Qing Dynasty, Quanye Road was established in Sichuan starting in 1909. Zhou Shanpei, the director, took advantage of Chengdu people's traditional custom of outing in the Huanhua River area every spring to combine "revitalizing industry" and "New Year's entertainment" and took advantage of the Flower Fair.

On this occasion, the province-wide industry promotion meeting, that is, the province's commodity and crafts fair, was held. As a spring commodity fair, the flower fair was held three times in a row until the early years of the Republic of China, when it was renamed the "Products and Products Fair".

At that time, merchants gathered and it was very lively.

During the Flower Fair, Chengdu's theater troupes, juggling troupes, local famous snack shop owners, and other folk artists also came uninvited to add luster to the Flower Fair.

On the other hand, as a moral guardian, Zhou Shanpei has been painstakingly cultivating "different ways of walking for men and women".

He set up a wooden bridge over the flower place, and men and women had to walk separately.

At that time, a limerick wrote: "It's so sad in front of Changban Bridge that men and women are forced to separate."

I advise you not to be hurt and say goodbye, but to come together thirty steps away?

This has become the highlight of the Qingming Festival in Chengdu.

After 1949, the first flower show was officially held in 1951. From then on, it was held once a year, lasting one month to one and a half months each time.

State-owned and collective flower gardens and flower farmers near Chengdu all transported the precious flowers, home-grown potted flowers, bonsai, etc. that they had cultivated with their own hard work to the Qingyang Palace, where they set up tents, stalls, and exhibitions.

Starting in 1980, the city government decided to set the venue for the Flower Fair in the "Cultural Park" across the wall from Qingyang Palace.

During the flower fair, in addition to the traditional content, there are also bird markets, book markets, calligraphy and painting art exhibitions and other content.

Paying homage to the City God? When the Qingming tomb-sweeping peak coincides with the great spring weather, Chengdu people who like to play are not willing to miss it.

As early as the Qing Dynasty, the custom of Chengdu citizens carrying the statue of the City God out to worship orphans outside the North Gate has developed into a seasonal picnic and recreational activity.

Blue sky and white clouds, kites flying, swings up and down, drums playing, and firecrackers sounding.

The procession to send off the gods meanders for several miles, with men, women, old and young mixed in among them.

Women and children also wear Liu Yufa, creating a scene full of spring.

During the Qingming Festival, there is a tradition of banning fire and eating cold food. The Shu people pound wheat straw juice to make green rice dumplings, and dye black rice with black cypress juice to make cakes. Fried rice dumplings are also sold in Chengdu, which are dotted with colorful dots and strung together with threads, called "happy dumplings".

?.

The traditional joyful dumpling has been lost, but Ai Mo, a traditional food of farmers in western Sichuan during the Qingming Festival, has now developed into a famous snack in Sichuan and is popular in the streets and alleys of Chengdu.

Dongshan Hakka people worship the City God, which is very characteristic of regional culture.

According to reports, the "City God's Journey" is a large-scale sacrificial activity for the City God, which continued in the Hakka settlements in Chengdu and its surrounding areas until the 1940s.

In different areas, it has different departure dates. For example, Luodai Town is on the first day of the third lunar month, Xihechang is on the fifth day of March, and Shibantan is on the end of February.

The reason why the City God traveled was mainly to offer sacrifices to the City God, the local official in the underworld.

However, with the passage of time, the "catch up with the meeting" (i.e. temple fair) component has become increasingly strong, even surpassing the sacrifice itself.

This change fully reflects the unique characteristics of the Han nationality, especially the Hakka traditional sacrifices, of entertaining the people with gods.

The statues in the City God's Temple in Luodai generally only include the City God, Yin Yang and Wu Chang (black and white impermanence), Chicken Feet God, and the Second Master Wu.

The City God's Temple in Xihechang is uniquely humane, and there is another City God's Empress beside the City God.

On the day of departure, people must first be sent to clean the streets along the route.

To welcome the gods with purity is a prerequisite for the effectiveness of the sacrifice.
