Extended information:
Dry boats are tied into boat shapes with bamboo or straw, surrounded by paper or cloth with patterns, tied to the waist or shoulders of performers, and covered with blue cloth representing waves at the lower end. There are many boat shapes in various places with exquisite craftsmanship, generally 1.67 ~ 2.33 meters long, and the largest can reach more than 3 meters.
The method of making betel nut cake is to put betel nut into thin slices when boiling sugar, and then make it into small pieces for sale. The seller carries a wooden box with betel nut cake on his back, and carries a cloth bag. When buying it, he can receive cash, or he can exchange it for long hair combed by women. The bag is for hair, and the seller shouts, "Lose your hair for betel nut cake!"
Baggage skin is a big bag made of white paper. This bag has two styles: one is patterned, with a Sanskrit transliteration of "Death Mantra" printed on a woodcut, and a lotus tablet printed in the middle, with the words "The late Zhang Fujun was afraid of the old man in Yunshan" written on it.
The other one is plain wrapped leather, which doesn't print any patterns, but only sticks a blue sign in the middle, writing down the names of the dead. There are all kinds of money in the bag. The sacrifices offered are mainly food, and the varieties are different from place to place. They are all delicious food that the local people think and can take out according to the economic ability of the sacrifices, or special food that is in season.
