Who has a composition about Shangrao folk customs?
"One side of the soil and water will nourish one side of the people", one side has different customs and habits from the other side, forming a unique folk custom. Folk culture refers to the culture attached to people's life, habits, feelings and beliefs. A person has been in a folk environment since birth. Folk customs, like air, are inseparable from people.
The geographical location of Shangrao's "thoroughfare of eight provinces" and the intersection and collision of Wu Chu culture make the folk culture more colorful. As a big agricultural city, many folk customs in Shangrao are closely related to the four seasons in rural areas. On the day of spring, farmers teach plowing, send lanterns to paddy fields on the fifteenth day of the first month, open seedling doors to worship the God of Grains, perform "Taiping Opera" in August and September of the lunar calendar, "have a fight in July, enjoy a bumper harvest in August", "Celebrate a bumper harvest in sesame on October 10th" and so on. Wuyuan has the "Shi Gandang" architectural custom of "three carvings" (brick carving, stone carving and wood carving) which are rich but not expensive, and the village head is set up to ward off evil spirits. Fishing customs around Poyang Lake are rich and colorful. The closure of harbors and lakes not only prohibits fishing, but also prohibits aquatic products such as lotus root, water chestnut and Euryale ferox. These ancient customs reflect the primitive desire of local fishermen for ecological protection, which coincides with the relevant requirements for building Poyang Lake Ecological Reserve today.
Folklore stories and legends also express Shangrao people's praise for just behavior and yearning for a better life. The gratitude of the people of Xinzhou District to the Huang brothers contributed to the temple fair of Dongyue Temple. The Shiren Temple Fair in Shangrao County is held every year from the first day to the tenth day of the ninth lunar month. Many folk artists and businessmen from inside and outside the province come here to do business or perform, retaining many original forms of folk organizations, folk arts, sports activities and folk handicrafts. In August of the lunar calendar, yugan county paid homage to thirty-six generals under Zhu Yuanzhang, which was called "August Kangshan Sacrifice to Loyal Ministers". The "Damulian" temple fair in Lotus Mountain Temple in Poyang reached more than 20,000 people at its climax. People all over Shangrao choose different ways to pay homage to their heroes and gods. I have participated in two "Opening the Mountain Gate" festivals in Gexian Mountain. The sea of people shows people's prayers for god's blessing and health and harmony.
The colorful folk cultural activities have filled Shangrao with joy and joy. The "greenhouse play" and "spring game" in Shangguangyu area are very popular and distinctive. In the first month of the new year, I acted again and again, and I played a series of Taiwanese dramas all day, which was very lively. "Advocacy Festival" is popular in Wuyuan, and lotus is popular in Yugan. The folk "drum calligraphy" in Poyang County is popular in the "Lantern Dance", Dragon Lantern and Lion Lantern in the northeast of Jiangxi Province. It is colorful and magnificent, and there are performances such as "Tantang Board", and the masses are very enthusiastic to participate. Paper-cutting, straw weaving, bamboo weaving and other unique folk crafts reflect the wisdom and superb skills of Shangrao people. The cultural performance of Sanqingshan's application for World Heritage, in which two folk artists improvised paper-cutting and straw weaving, made "foreigners" amazed.
Regrettably, the vast majority of folk culture and art in Shangrao are basically not recorded in words and maps. The day when an old artist dies is often the time when a folk art is lost, so the rescue and protection of folk culture and art is very urgent. Rescue and protection is not only to let it enter the museum, but also to make it glow with life and vitality in the new historical period. 1995, the former Shangrao Teachers College established the Folklore Society, and most of its members were students. On this basis, Shangrao Folklore Society, 1999, was established to reflect local folklore, protect and inherit folk culture, and publish periodicals regularly. However, due to various reasons, especially the lack of funds, the activities of folklore society disappeared with the suspension of publications. What a pity!
However, the work of excavating, protecting and inheriting folk culture in various places has never stopped. In recent years, Wuyuan, Wannian and other places will organize some folk culture exhibitions and hold related festivals to guide citizens and tourists to understand the rich folk culture and art. The Wuyuan Folk Culture and Art Festival has been going on for several years and is becoming an important cultural tourism brand.
Shangrao can completely build a folk art museum, making it a demonstration area of folk culture protection, which integrates cultural relics protection and exhibition, folk life experience, folk art exhibition and folk sacrifice. While protecting folk goods, it also shows rich and colorful folk customs. You can also set up unique folk crafts such as bodiless lacquerware, paper-cutting and embroidery in the folk museum, and invite skilled folk artists including inheritors of intangible cultural heritage to show their unique skills here, so that tourists can participate, appreciate, experience and learn folk skills, inherit excellent traditional culture and realize the popularization of intangible cultural heritage. I think it is feasible to give full play to the strength of the people and society and build a project like the folk art museum. Shangrao, as a folk city, building a museum or folk museum is not only a cultural protection project, but also a project to benefit the people. In addition, the use of private capital to build folk museums and folk culture protection projects is a major innovation in cultural investment. The government should try its best to solve the problems existing in the progress of the project and increase support from the system, mechanism and policy. In the process of establishing a museum, not only a lot of money should be invested, but also continuous investment is needed after it is completed to make the museum run normally. This requires the government to adopt the policy of "releasing water to raise fish" and list the establishment of museums and folk museums with various capitals as key government support projects.
Shangrao, as one of the birthplaces of Chinese civilization, has splendid rice culture and unique charm of Wu Chu civilization, engraved the endless struggle course of Shangrao ancestors, condensed Shangrao's glorious history and fine traditions, and witnessed the diligence, wisdom and courage of Shangrao people. Two thousand years of urban development history and the ever-changing times are washing away the traditional folk culture, leaving a rich cultural heritage for Shangrao. It is very necessary to carry out a large-scale survey of folk cultural resources, establish and improve folk cultural archives, and then build a museum or folk museum. In today's era, we should "stand here and leave a photo" to show the outstanding parts and true meaning of the rich and simple folk culture with a long history to the general public, so that they can have deeper attachment, love and reverence for their hometown. It is our blessing and our responsibility to inherit and carry forward the rich and excellent intangible cultural heritage and spirit.
