Gather and disperse. Anhui Xuancheng folk custom

In the past, most folk villages lived in groups. For example, Hongcun Village and Xidi Village in yi county, Huangshan City, still retain the architectural features of the Ming and Qing Dynasties, which are connected by villagers' houses and face north and south. There is a clan ancestral hall in the village, and there is a corridor leading to the front of the village in front of every household. A few villages have built fences around mountains and rivers, and dug village rivers in flat places. The system is like a castle hut, and it is easy to prevent fire and theft. It is difficult for strangers to enter the village easily and find a way to escape. Its disadvantages are traffic congestion and inconvenient access.

* * * After the establishment of People's Republic of China (PRC), the buildings where people lived together were gradually demolished, and each household liked to build a single-family house, such as three, five and seven rooms side by side, or a "bright three and dark five" room with one hall in the middle, two left and right rooms, and a front yard and backyard. Most of them are adobe houses, and a few have blue brick walls; Poor families build mud walls and huts to cover their roofs. Since 1990s, most rural families have built two-story (a few are three or four-story) buildings with red brick and cement slab roofs. 2/kloc-0 At the beginning of the 20th century, the government advocated the activities of immigrants to build towns, that is, the scattered farmers in each village were uniformly zoned out, urban multi-storey houses were built on both sides of the highway, and the old residential sites were developed in Cheng Liangtian, saving land, water and material resources.

In the past, all the towns were bedrooms or storefronts facing east and west and north and south, with a street in the middle and corridors on both sides connected. Wealthy families build deep houses with three or five floors, corridors connecting the entrances, patios for lighting in the middle, wings for the living room on both sides, and front hall, hall, back hall and main hall waiting for guests or family reunion. * * * After the founding of the People's Republic of China, a small number of urban people lived in unit buildings; After 1980s, the old city was rebuilt. Most of the streets are built with uniform high-rise buildings, and urban people mainly live in apartment buildings. Since 1990s, community construction has gradually become a climate.

Baizihui

People who believe in Buddhism collectively face the mountain. Those with more than 100 are called "Hundred Philosophers' Association", and those with more than 200 are Double Hundred Philosophers' Association. Those with less than 100 people are called small schools. People facing the mountain are wearing gray coats, green trousers and yellow bibs with the words "pilgrimage mountain" printed on them. Under the leadership of Xiang Shou, they walked up the mountain, beating gongs and drums, singing hymns and worshiping in the temple. Most of the activities are the most prosperous on the birthday of the Tibetan king (July 30 of the lunar calendar). They are very proud to be able to arrive at the Jiuhuashan Sports Hall for a sit-in and "guard the tower" for one night. Some pilgrims went up the mountain to burn incense for their dead parents. They are wearing the shroud of the dead, and their greatest wish is to get the seal of the king of earth treasure to sacrifice to the dead. According to Buddhist mythology, with this seal, the dead have the privilege of unimpeded travel in the underworld.

Make incense on New Year's Eve. Anhui Chizhou folk custom

After the New Year's Eve reunion dinner, Jiuhuashan residents watch TV to watch the New Year's Eve dinner, or entertain themselves until the New Year bell rings, some of them are sent out by the whole family, and some are representatives of the heads of households. First of all, they wash their faces and gargle, set off firecrackers and fireworks, which is called "travel"; Then bring the prepared incense sticks, firecrackers and fireworks to the sports hall (or a nearby temple in the distance) for incense. On the pilgrimage, even if you meet acquaintances, you don't say anything, and you can greet each other when you go home after the pilgrimage. The pilgrimage on New Year's Eve is to pray for a safe and complete new year. It is said that burning the first incense is the most auspicious. Now it has become a necessary custom for the local New Year.

Laba state. Anhui Chizhou folk custom

On the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, the Buddhist community regards it as the Buddha's Enlightenment Day. Monks and nuns in the temple often cook "eight-treasure porridge" with eight kinds of food, such as glutinous rice, sesame seeds, coix seed, longan, red dates, mushrooms and lotus seeds, and invite the surrounding villagers to attend the Eucharist and give alms to the people of all ages to show their respect for the Buddha. Later, it gradually became the folk custom of cooking eight-treasure porridge (called Laba porridge).

Dragon lantern Anhui Chizhou folk custom

When Jiuhua Mountain and its neighboring areas celebrate or celebrate major festivals, they will celebrate with dragon lanterns and lion lanterns. Dragon lanterns are arched with bamboo sticks, with one arch and one board, each board is about 1.5 meters long, with internal combustion candles ranging from nine boards to dozens of boards (all odd numbers), and each board has 1 person dancing, beating gongs and drums as accompaniment. Dragon lantern is a large-scale collective activity to celebrate festivals among the people, and tourists from all over the world are like a tide, which is very lively.

Hunnian Su Nian. Anhui Chizhou folk custom

All previous dynasties paid great attention to maintaining the dignity of the Buddhist land in Jiuhua Mountain, and prohibited all kinds of evil deeds, such as occupying the Buddhist land as a stall, building hotels to block traffic, slaughtering pigs and sheep, and filthy teachings, which led to the formation of a vegetarian lifestyle. From the Qing Dynasty to the Republic of China, merchants from Jiuhua Street moved in and mingled with the mountain people. Buddhism was not forbidden, and the ban on meat was also relaxed, resulting in a mixture of monks being vegetarian and mountain people eating meat.

I'm getting used to it. However, in order to respect historical customs, local residents first celebrated the year of Xiongnu, and then the year of vegetarianism. In the year of Xiongnu, on the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month (February 27th of the lunar calendar), local residents took their families to eat meat. The next day, plant ash scrubbed the pots and pans clean and began to be a vegetarian. On the 30th (February 29th), vegetarian dishes will be cooked for the New Year, eaten, or sacrificed to ancestors, or kept old, or entertained, or made incense. Vegetarian dishes will last until the third day of the first month of the New Year. The year of meat and vegetables has become one of the important winter tourism in Jiuhua Mountain.
