The honor of Cisse Shenzhou Games

On September 30, 2009, Cisse Shenzhou Association was approved by UNESCO to be included in the representative list of intangible cultural heritage of mankind.

Four years ago, gangneung danoje festival was declared as a representative of human oral and intangible heritage by UNESCO, and some time ago, China officially started the application procedure for world intangible heritage during the Dragon Boat Festival. In the content of this application, our "Cisse Shenzhou Club" in Huangshi was lucky enough to be shortlisted because of the complete preservation of the ancient Dragon Boat Festival custom, which is undoubtedly a great event for the people of Huangshi. In a few days, the "Cisse Shenzhou Meeting" will be held intensively. In order to turn this Dragon Boat Festival folk activity into another beautiful city card of Huangshi, government departments at all levels are also making continuous efforts.

"Cisse Shenzhou Club" is a traditional folk cultural activity with the core theme of eliminating plague, evil, disasters and diseases, seeking peace and health and prolonging life. With the help of "sending dragon boats", Cisse Shenzhou Festival is the most spectacular folk activity in the custom of Dragon Boat Festival, which has a history of more than 2,000 years.

Every year from May 15 to May 18 in the lunar calendar, it is the official duration of the China Games. During this period, the local people sang big plays day and night. At eight o'clock in the morning on May 16th of the lunar calendar, Shenzhou will make a cruise. On this day, every household will hang calamus and mugwort leaves at the door, set up incense tables at the door, light incense sticks, and put on offerings such as wine, tea, rice and fruit. Every time a family goes to China, the villagers will greet him with whips, scatter MC Davi and worship him until they have traveled all the streets. On the evening of May 17th of the lunar calendar, villagers will light 48 ever-burning lamps for Shenzhou and keep vigil all night. On the morning of the 18th day of the fifth lunar month, the Shenzhou Tour left the palace, and Taoist priests and all the members of the Shenzhou Association opened the way for the Shenzhou Tour. 16 young and strong boys took the Shenzhou Tour to the river and let the water flow down the river by dragon boat to the east. At this time, many fishing boats on the river are burning incense on the bow, and firecrackers are ringing in unison, showing off three times around China.

The "Shenzhou Meeting" held by Taoist priests on the Dragon Boat Festival bears the wisdom, interest and good wishes of the people in Cisai Mountain area. From ancient times to today, its cultural value and folk life history value are self-evident.

Wu Zhijian, deputy director of the Provincial Intangible Heritage Protection Center, said: "Cisse Shenzhou Fair is the most representative of all the Dragon Boat Festival customs in China. It inherits many ancient customs of the Dragon Boat Festival. This information, this DNA, we call it DNA. It is not easy to pass on this DNA. Thousands of years have passed, and this place in Huangshi Fudaoshi Village is still so tenacious, so it is very valuable, so I declare it.

In 2006, "Cisse Shenzhou Club" has been successfully declared as a national intangible cultural heritage. In May this year, the "Cisse Shenzhou Club" began the journey of declaring the world intangible cultural heritage, which is undoubtedly very encouraging. However, although this folk festival has gradually begun to get people's attention and recognition, it also urgently needs more understanding, respect and love. The old man named Huang is 73 years old. He is one of the key figures in the Shenzhou Games. He has been involved in the whole planning and operation of the Shenzhou Games since 1999, and it has been 10 years now. When he faced the dust pollution, noise pollution, aging equipment and shortage of personnel in the coal yard around Shenzhou Palace, he felt more and more overwhelmed.

Villager Huang: "There are some problems in our business. The price of this business is obviously increasing, and the funds for singing and performing are also increasing year by year. " Second, many of our original facilities are outdated, and this one needs to be replaced. Third, our personnel have not kept up, some are old and some are dead, so it is still a little difficult to supplement them. Fourth, the surrounding environment still has a great influence on us. Just like today, this troupe came and went to the altar with you. It is said that there is too much dust in the altar, which pollutes the clothes quite seriously. They don't want to do it, and there is a lot of noise. "

On June 5th, Mayor Yang Xiaobo and his party inspected the preparatory work of "Shenzhou Cisse" in spite of their busy schedules. In the government of Mount Cisse, the mayor watched the feature film "Cisse Shenzhou Club" and listened to the information about the World Heritage Project declared by Cisse Shenzhou Club. Subsequently, the leaders of the municipal and district government departments and the relevant persons in charge of the cultural departments also put forward some good suggestions on how to solve the current difficulties faced by the "Cisse Shenzhou Fair" and how to build it into a cultural business card of Huangshi, and finally reached an understanding of * * *.

Tao Huifen, member of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee and Minister of Propaganda of the Municipal Party Committee: "First, we must actively cooperate with the requirements of the province and do a good job in our protection, data collection and related work; Second, from now on, we should limit some activities that cause damage to the surrounding environment of the project. Another is how to study the project itself, so that it can effectively combine protection, development and utilization, and can link up the overall planning of this tourism, so that it can be combined with our industrial tourism, historical and cultural tourism of the mountain and leisure tourism of Guniuzhou, and become a beautiful business card in the middle of the overall tourism of Huangshi. "

On May 18 of this year's lunar calendar, that is, this month's 10, Cisse "Shenzhou" will be officially launched. I think this year's Dragon Boat Festival will be more exciting and eye-catching under the background of applying for world intangible cultural heritage. However, we have to admit that today's folk culture is generally ignored, and there is still a long way to go to turn our "Cisse Shenzhou Club" in Huangshi into a well-known cultural card.
