When does the Huaiyang Temple Fair begin?
Huaiyang Temple Fair, also known as February Fair, lasts for one month from February 2 to March 3 of the lunar calendar every year. During the temple fair, various folk entertainment activities are even more fascinating. Compared with other temple fairs, the temple fair custom in Taihaoling has two unique features: First, it is called "lifting scriptures", also known as "lifting flower baskets". This is a relatively primitive dance form that sacrifices ancestors and entertains gods. During the temple fair, these "selected teams" sang and danced in front of Taihao Mausoleum, which often attracted many good men and women who came to make pilgrimages to stop and watch. When the dance reached its climax, the dancers walked back to back in the middle with their tails touching, symbolizing the intersection of Fuxi and Nu Wa. His lyrics are also related to Fuxi Nuwa. Some movements of this dance are basically consistent with the images of Fuxi, dragon's head rising and Nu Wa's lower body mating in Han Dynasty stone reliefs, which is a primitive custom of worshipping reproductive function. The second unique custom is "mud dogs" and cloth tigers that can be seen everywhere in temple fairs. Mud dog is a kind of mud toy sold at the temple fair, which blows loudly. The local people explained that it was a god dog guarding the mausoleum and a sacred object for ancestor worship. If the mud dog is given to children or relatives and friends, it can eliminate the pain, be auspicious and safe, and people will buy it and bring it back to their hometown. Welcome to Huaiyang to play!
