How magical is the Mid -Autumn Festival for the Mid -Autumn Festival for the moon?

The "Fifteen Moon" created in 1984 is undoubtedly the most lucky cultural group song. Soon after the release, it was promoted to the song of the National Mid -Autumn Festival on the Rockets, and it was well -known, and the limelight was covered by Su Dongpo.

But how could this music with Miao Hong and Shunshui never think of? In the 1990s, an unknown business ghost poured it into a cheap chip and embedded in a batch. In the base of the fragrant candle. Since then, outside the CCTV song and dance, this melody has begun to be more psychedelic, mysterious, and magical.

"Electronic Music Fragrance" was sold to Chaoshan people who bought fragrant candles for the Mid -Autumn Festival. Soon, the devout Chaoshan mothers began to believe that compared with a mediocre fragrant, a scent of somberies can pay more respect to Yueniang (Taiyin Niang, the moon goddess in Chaoshan believers). From then on, there has been no quiet Mid -Autumn Festival on Chaoshan.

For the fragrance of electronic music on the table.

Although the melody of brainwashing is the magical climbing of the small commodity industry and the ancient folklore, but in another aspect, it proves the emphasis on the Chaoshan people on the Mid -Autumn Festival. After all, in the large number of gods in Chaoshan, only Yueniang is eligible to enjoy such a high -level digital worship.

A cold knowledge is: in recent years, it is because of the cooking skills and rich food producing in the peak, and more and more Chaoshan, which has entered the public's vision, may have the most strange, most interesting, the oldest inheritance, and the most complicated Mid -Autumn Festival in China. Tradition. The magical music fragrance is just the tip of the iceberg of Chaoshan Mid -Autumn Festival. The gorgeous and magnificent folk world that is linked to can make us truly eye -opening.

Chaoshan Mid -Autumn Festival

Start with a big traffic jam

The initial motion of Chaoshan Mid -Autumn Festival is often reflected as a high -speed traffic jam.

In fact, every day on the eve of the Mid -Autumn Festival, a major population from the Pearl River Delta to eastern Guangdong will be performed as scheduled. The biggest role of the Chaoshan Tongxiang Association in Guangdong University is to provide a chartered service for Chaoshan students in the Mid -Autumn Festival and Qingming.

Although in the hearts of all Chinese, the Mid -Autumn Festival means reunion. However, from the actual population flow situation, the enthusiasm of the Chaoshan people to go home in Mid -Autumn Festival has far exceeded the average level. This phenomenon must be attributed to the unique original identity of Chaoshan people.

The Chaoshan we are talking about today, the scope of the ancient Chaozhou government, generally includes today's Chaozhou, Shantou, Jieyang City, and Fengshun County of Meizhou. It is not difficult to see from the topographic map that this area is surrounded by mountains on three sides, one side of the sea, and the large rivers and hills in the area. In terms of geography, it is very isolated from the world and self -containing world.

The "Chaoshan people" living in Chaoshan are mostly later generations after the Song and Yuan dynasties and "second immigrants" from southern Fujian. They have been working on this closed and united "geographical island" for generations. The rotation of the ancient central government and the enlightenment of the king, for this distant "end of the nation -ends", is often just a wind. This has made our nation's long -distance cultural memory, which has been well retained here. Among them, of course, it also includes strong nostalgia for the homeland.

At the same time, for thousands of years, relying on the meager land and facing the vast ocean, Chaoshan people have long been accustomed to rushing into the world and establishing industry. Established an Internet technology empire ...

However, no matter how big the family business is setting outside, every major festival such as the Mid -Autumn Festival and Qingming, the powerful love of the hometown in the bone marrow of the Chaoshan people will urge them to resolutely drove the car to the congested high -speed high -speed and buy all the light all on all the ones. High -speed rail station tickets ... This is also caused by the migration wonders of Chaoshan people on each festival.

Chaoshan people not only "farming are like embroidered",

Their residential houses are also very dense and strict, maximizing the valuable land resources.

When the Chaoshan people who are working outside are blocked at high speeds, the local children in Chaoshan have already been mobilized and reaches in the village. Their task is to pick up (stealing) bricks everywhere to prepare for the tower burning ceremony tonight.

Burning the tower is a peculiar Mid -Autumn Festival in Chaoshan and parts of Jiangxi. On the day of the Mid -Autumn Festival, people used bricks and tiles to build towers. After the night, the old schools in the village gathered next to the tower and threw various fuels into the tower to let it burn all night.

It is generally believed that the roasting tower is related to a civilian military action against the rulers of Mongolian and Yuan. It is not difficult to understand that in the defeat of the Empire of the Southern Song Dynasty, Chaoshan people performed loyalty and festivals. Until now, many local temples still worship the anti -Yuan heroes such as Wen Tianxiang and Lu Xiufu.

But to this day, the martyrs who resist the Yuan have already become the master of the villagers' peace and smoothness; the fierceness of the ancestors raised the fire, and it has also evolved into an inertial custom memory. New significance (the word "tile" in the burn tower is the same as "ant" in Chaoshan dialect). But in any case, the ancestors and the traditional Chaoshan people are still tirelessly and loyal to the heritage of the ancestors:

In a wealthy place, the council in the township, every year, organizes people to make a person's hand, and a special tall and beautiful tower will be burn to be spectacular; and in those villages that are not so strong, the tasks of the tower will fall into the tower. The children in the village. After all, a lot of bricks need to be used to pile up a tower. Their origin often becomes the secrets of ambiguous children in the hearts of children in the village.

And when the children are still galloping their brains to steal bricks, Chaoshan's mothers have already been busy.

In a festival, he must be done with all his heart and lively. He is worthy of the ancestral gods. He can coax the old and younger family. Relatives and friends can have a light in front of them. In the final analysis, it is not the planning and operation of a housewife.

Little known is that Chaoshan women, who have always been known for hard work and dexterity in South China, in fact, all of them can be called a living hard disk of local folk wisdom. In their heads, they are equipped with the ancestors of the ancestors of all ages, the skills of stretching hundreds of years, and local everywhere. The festivals of the master, the corresponding rules, the complex rituals of various sacrifice activities ...

And this is particularly important festival in the Mid -Autumn Festival. In addition to buying the must -have music incense in advance, Chaoshan mother must be confirmed that it sings "The Moon of the Fifteenth Fifteen"! The incense of "Good Day" has appeared in the small sales department.) The cumbersome tribute and props to ensure that their family members can successfully please Yueniang's joy in the worship of the night.

Although everything above can be bought in the modern market, most Chaoshan mothers will still insist on handing some specific worship cakes at home. In the festivals such as the New Year, Qingming, and a ancestor, they usually prepare a variety of "粿". But in the Mid -Autumn Festival, mothers will start making a beautiful food called moon cakes early.

Boil the sugar until sticky, then cool, and knead it with the fried glutinous rice flour together. Finally, put it into a beautiful mold and pour it on a piece of red paper. A perfect monthly cake, white as snow, sweet and delicious, is the most suitable for tea. Among the many pastries of the Mid -Autumn Festival, the Mid -Autumn Festival, the moon cake is the one with the highest face value and the most refreshing taste. More importantly, it hides the ingenuity and wonderful hands of mothers, as well as sincere thought of Yueniang.

In addition to buying and making all kinds of fruits, pastries and dishes, in the past, every Chaoshan mother will use golden paper to fold a large gold tower specially used to worship the moon before the Mid -Autumn Festival. Although this exaggerated crafts will be thrown into the fire after the sacrifice, it does not affect its exquisite form and the complex production process.

Thank you for the market economy. Now, more and more Chaoshan mothers will choose to go to the store to buy a ready -made large gold tower, which greatly liberates their productive forces. Busy.

And under the operation of the professional division of labor system, this very exaggerated gold tower not only becomes more and more complicated in craftsmanship, but also gradually piled up with candy and jelly, which has evolved into a popular "candy. "Tower", "Jelly Tower" ... In this context, it is not difficult to understand why the Mid -Autumn Festival celebration market in Chaoshan can grow magical props such as electronic music incense.

After a dinner, the family will work together to move the Baxian table to the door. Various tributes are neatly lined up, and the mother lits incense and candles. At the same time, she removes the magical music switch. The sun is sinking west, and the night is getting stronger.

The moon always appears at night, she is bright and gentle, awakening people's intuitive understanding of the feminine power; her profit and loss is closely synchronized with women's body cycles. Therefore, in almost all ancient human religious concepts, the moon is regarded as the essence of negative energy and the protector of women. And this primitive but convincing natural worship is well preserved in the Chaoshan area. There is a saying that "men do not circle the moon" here, that is, on the night of the Mid -Autumn Festival, only women and children are eligible to worship Yueniang.

Therefore, whenever Yuanyue rises, children will be the first to be asked to put their schoolbags, textbooks and stationery on the table. Burning incense, burning paper, and worship, the children are sincere, or to pray for Yue Niang to bless them with good results. Of course, in view of every Chaoshan child, he will do the same thing on this day, unless anyone suddenly runs to school in the field, it is difficult to get the special care of Yueniang in this ceremony.

As for girls and mothers, the content of prayer is richer. Some people will put the passbook and bank cards on the table, and some will put the most new cosmetics. This allows Yue Niang to feel the powerful chemical forces of a modern cosmetics, but also to convey that she wants to become "elegant" by the way. Prayer ("Azai" in Chaoshan dialect is used to describe the beauty of women). In pious prayers, Jiao Jiao Yueguang sprinkled their shoulders, and Yue Niang's gentle energy was blessing their sincere thoughts to get their wishes.

After the serious sacrifice ceremony, it was time for the family to enjoy the moon. In the consumption of the monthly sacrifice, the conventional moon cakes often only deserve the right to place politely. Because there are too many delicious pastries at this time to compete for the precious Chaoshan stomach.

The cake is the most representative of them. "朥" represents lard. The cake of this cake is made of lard, so it is crispy and delicious. It can only be crushed in the second year. Such a sophisticated craft made this small cake with crispy skin and refreshing filling, which became the popular king of pastry in Chaoshan Mid -Autumn Festival.

And because of the old things that rebelled against the Yuan hundreds of years ago, they have been lingering in the local Mid -Autumn Festival customs. The homophonic taro is still an indispensable food for Chaoshan Mid -Autumn Festival. Of course, people now eat it, mainly because it is just season at this time, smooth and sweet. In addition to steaming and eating directly, the owners and women have their own skills of cooking taro. Some people will use sugar to fry the anti -sand taro, and some people will cut the taro into silk, and the peanuts will be fried into "taro crisps", which is very sweet.

It is worth noting that the preferences of the gods and children in the Mid -Autumn Festival in the Mid -Autumn Festival sometimes have the same intersection, and sometimes they are not the same.

In the situation of the former, you must ask your mother, which cakes and fruits have been available for God and can be eaten. Before the God of God is good at eating food, it is disrespect to God.

And like catches and some crickets in festivals, or sacrificing the taste for good -looking, or strictly abide by the ancestral training during the production process, no one in the family is really interested in it. But if the festival is over, they are still not eaten, and their mother will also scold people. In short, in the words of Chaoshan people, "There are thunder areas everywhere in the Mid -Autumn Festival!".

Of course, compared to the furious mother at home at any time, Chaoshan children on the Mid -Autumn Festival generally prefer to swim in the village. They have gangs and go to each family with lanterns. What fresh gadgets. Presumably, this extremely mobility comparison force is also an important reason for the rapid popularity of electronic music in Chaoshan.

The most excited tower burning ceremony for children also officially started after the night. It is not easy to keep Wata's continuous burning all night. Children must go around to find fuels. The more routine is branches and wooden boards, but some children will sneak them out of the books they don't like.

In the Mid -Autumn Festival, children are always the most excited.

Flame is a mysterious power, it provides a warm atmosphere. The ancients were sitting around the bonfire to tell the story of hunting and survival. Today, Chaoshan people have created a rare and blurred carnival night around the empty space where the ancestors have set foot on the ancestral hall.

Children will continue to sprinkle salt into the fire, and the crackling sound is mixed with the vast sound of sea tide in the distance, allowing these generations to strictly adhere to the rules of their ancestors and always focus on the burdens. In the atmosphere, it was released.

Fire is very important in the various folk rituals of Chaoshan people.

Near midnight, as the various houses began to set up firecrackers, the eight immortal tables next to the street were also lifted into the house one after another. The paper money and the big golden paper tower were thrown into the burning tower by a brain. The flames of the Ming Dynasty gradually shrinking, and people walked into their own rooms, and a busy Chaoshan Mid -Autumn Festival entered the end. However, some people buy the music incense that they cannot be turned off. I had to let it sing in the kitchen all night. In this looming and gradual single loop, men, women, and children in Chaoshan have entered the dreamland one after another. Yue Niang will bless them to have a sweet dream. After all, in this country where everything is moving forward, only the honest Chaoshan people are left, and they have such a sincere respect for her.
