The History and Culture of Fort Lv Gong

Legend has it that during the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty, an old woman with two grandchildren begged near Lihua Village in Fort Lv Gong, and was respected for often giving beggars some food, and then died on the 14th day of the first month of this year. After years of wandering outside, the two grandchildren returned home and built a grandmother's temple, where incense flourished. A craftsman can sell candied dumplings (candied haws) dipped in them on the 15th day of the first month of each year in front of grandma's temple. Other artists around him followed suit and formed the Candy Dun Temple Fair. Later, the custom of eating Candy Dun and keeping jiaozi vegetarian on the fifteenth day of the first month of each year was derived, and several special Candy Dun villages and unique candied haws production techniques were formed.

Since the late Qing Dynasty, the Sugar Pier Festival has been held in Houlihua Village, Lv Gong on the 15th day of the first month every year. The original party lasted 1 day, and lasted for 3 days from 20 14, attracting more than 10,000 people around 10. Renqiu Tangduner Festival has been included in the list of municipal intangible cultural heritage protection projects in Cangzhou. Shangcun Site is located 2.5km southwest of Zhang Zuo Village, Lv Gong Fort Town, on the east bank of Guyang River, and was found in 1986. The site is divided into two parts by the east-west Lihua branch canal, which is 100 meters long from north to south and 60 meters wide from east to west. The cultural layer is seen at 1.5 meters below the ground. Unearthed are sharpened stone axes, knives, Tao Ge with sand, clay pots and other artifacts, and the decorative patterns of the fragments are mostly thick rope patterns, including pile patterns and grate patterns. After textual research, it was identified as a cultural site in the late Shang Dynasty.
