  Jiande Folk Customs “Li Village Carrying Pavilion”

On the morning of March 13, a large-scale folk cultural tourism activity was held in Licun Village, Daciyan Town, Jiande City, opening a new hotspot for Jiande folk cultural tourism after the first month.

“Li Village Carrying Pavilion”, also known as “Carrying Pavilion”, is the list of intangible cultural heritage of Zhejiang Province. Li Cun’s pavilion is made up of eight stations, and the theater includes “The Savior of Biting Gold”, “Guardian of Yuchi Gongyu Garden”, “Fan Lihua breaking the golden light array”, “Mu Guiying takes command”, “Lv Dongbin Picking Medicine and Playing Peony” and “Sun Wukong Clever Borrow 8 songs like” Banana Fan “.

Every year at dawn on the second day of the second lunar month, the whole village begins to cheer. The erection of the pavilion has not yet begun, and the cultural halls, squares and paths of the villages come to observe the crowds of ordinary people. At 10:30 in the morning, with the sound of a gong, the gong cleared the way, the flagger took the lead, and the drummer struck on the line. Eight great men wore the “Taige” and stepped on joyous dance steps. The locals wore typical costumes and stood up. The lofts, escorted by drums, musicians, samurai, etc., move through the streets and alleys, which are magnificent.

It is said that “Li Cun raising the flag” originated from the gratitude of the local villagers to the Great Baishan “Wu Xiong”. Every year on the day the two dragons raise their heads in February, the villagers of Li Village do not go to worship King Oolong, but only invite Emperor Baishan to “see the show.” After that, they invite Emperor Baishan to return to the Baishan temple again. This is the unique custom of Li Village: the origin of raising the pavilion.

Therefore, the children who act as characters in the pavilion are carefully selected by the whole town, they must be handsome, intelligent, light, flexible and must have the working spirit of standing or sitting for several hours. Even if the conditions are tough, everyone is very excited about the candidates. The family will be very honored by the selected child and others will be envious. (Correspondent Shen Hengyang)

  On February 2, the people of Wenzhou will have a plate of mustard rice.

In Wenzhou, you should eat a bowl of mustard rice on the second day of the second lunar month.

The “Chronicles of Ruian County” say: “If you take mustard greens for cooking, the cloud can improve your sight and the meaning of clarity and essence can be achieved.”

“The meaning of cleansing essence” means that rice with mustard has the function of curing scabies. In the old days, people lived in poverty, their hygiene conscience was weak, added to the lack of doctors and medicines, there were many patients with skin diseases (such as scabies) and they were easily infected.

Mustard greens contain a lot of chlorophyll and vitamin C. Frequent consumption of vegetables rich in chlorophyll and vitamin C can improve autoimmunity and increase resistance, which is good for human skin. Therefore, there is a saying that “eating rice with mustard does not cause scabies.”

Besides mustard greens, there are also these green plants, which are also an important feature on the dinner table of the Zhejiang people during the spring season.
