Old Dragon Lantern Festival
In the old society, welcoming dragon lanterns was cumbersome and exquisite, and there were many taboos. You must steal the bamboo that makes the faucet. Its "stealing" method is to gather people to cut down bamboo at night after checking its proper use. After cutting, put a red envelope on the bamboo root and it will be on fire. The same is true of the new "stealing" method of faucet plate and bridge light plate. The stolen person receives a red envelope, no matter how much compensation, which is considered auspicious and never blames. After the faucet was carefully painted, two pieces of small red paper were pasted on it. On the day of welcoming the lantern, the dragon head was carried to the main hall by a ceremony of "stepping out of position", and the case was dedicated to grains, sweets and cakes. After the Taoist priest "invited the dragon god", the little red paper was removed and read "Open your eyes and see". Later, the villagers worshipped with incense sticks. Those who greet the dragon lanterns must take a fire bath to clean themselves, and then carry the light bridge and "put" the cannon into the open field, so that the whole village can be connected with the light bridge, and the whole dragon lantern is complete before leaving for the temple, which means to greet the gods. The bigger the village, the more light bridges and the longer the light queue. Then, follow the usual route in Youlong. In Youlong, the most respected old people walk at the head of the procession, those with incense trays and incense burners on them, followed by those with guns and candles, then those with double-headed gongs and tiger tags, and then the leader. Children holding fish, shrimp and crab lanterns are not prohibited and unrestrained. They can occupy one side of the light bridge before holding incense, or they can follow the dragon tail and say, "In Long Xing, shrimps and crabs escorted the way", and the dragon lanterns walked through the fields, saying that they were "hiking" and "looking for wheat". The road is narrow, and it is inevitable to step on wheat seedlings, but no one is surprised. Youlong, but also "jumping lights" and "group lights".
