The folk customs of Shentou in Shentou Village

The folk culture of Shentou is rich. After excavation, the following are:

Queshan Temple Fair

The general meeting is twice a year, and there are many small meetings. The first day of the third lunar month is the main meeting, and people from all walks of life, including officials, farmers, industry and commerce people, start going to the mountains to offer incense or trade goods one after another after the second day of the second lunar month. The meeting lasts for one month.

The sacrificial activities at the Queshan Temple Fair are complex and diverse. Due to the large scale of the temple complex, it is basically Taoist culture mixed with Buddhist culture. There are various gods and idols, including the Jade Emperor, Hou Tu Yuanjun, and the miracle doctor Bian Que. , In addition, there are many gods and Buddhas such as the Queen Mother, Nanhai Guanyin, Ox King, Dragon King, etc., which fully reflect the national characteristics of worshiping miscellaneous gods in our country. Tea sheds were built for groups of worshiping gods and Buddhas. For example, pilgrims from Ju (Lu), Guang (Zong), and Ping (Xiang) counties built a tea shed in Shentou Village who believed in Guanyin of the South China Sea. At the home of a Liuxing farmer, a red flag was hung at the door to mark the area, and a sacred table was hung. One of the disciples set up an altar to invite the gods to heaven, and carved a stone record, which read: "Although Teacher Li is a female generation, he has more than a thousand disciples."

The meeting covers a vast area and lasts for a long time. During the temple fair, people from all over the country come to the meeting. Tens of thousands of pilgrims from far away promoted the development of temple fair market transactions. Pilgrims were merchants, and temple fair activities attracted merchants. With the participation of local people, it could be said that at that time, farmers, industry and merchants attended the fair one after another. Farm tools, furniture, dried fruits, knives and guns, clothing, musical instruments, everything from clay figures to sugar figures make the Queshan Temple Fair very active in terms of sacred and commercial activities every year on the second day of the second lunar month. After the fifth lunar month, people became more and more active. After February 22, various local arts began to be held to perform to worship gods, and commodity trading activities also reached a climax. They ended on the first day of March, and sometimes the meetings continued after the first day of the lunar month. If necessary, a notice will be issued to stop the meeting.

But there is a special phenomenon. At the Queshan Temple Fair, all five elements are complete, and all transactions are active, but there is no medical market. According to folklore, there is a medical ancestor Bian Que. Who dares to sell medicine or practice medicine here?

The Shentou Teahouse

The "teahouse" serves the temple fair, so the temple fair activities should come first and then the teahouse. Incense should come first and then there should be temple fairs. The Shento Queshan Temple Fair has a long history. During the Han and Tang Dynasties, incense was already popular, and temple fairs were established to provide tea and temporary resting places for pilgrims to go to the mountain. It came into being at the eastern foot of Taihang Mountain, with mountains and rivers running east-west. In the old days, transportation was very inconvenient. Most of the pilgrims who came to Queshan to worship were from the east and south. To the east were Nanhe, Renxian, Pingxiang, Guangzong, Julu, Weixian, Nangong, Xinhe, and Qinghe extend to Linqing, Shandong; in the southeast are Handan Daming, Quzhou, and Guangping, extending to Tangyin, Huaxian and other places in Anyang, Henan. Good men and women who go to the mountains to perform incense It is far away and requires several days of driving and walking. Therefore, the Queshan tea sheds extend far and wide, and are found in Quzhou, Guangping and Julu. There are two roads to enter Neiqiu, the north and south. The south road passes through Guanzhuang, Wucun and Jinlang, and the north road passes through Guanzhuang, Wucun and Jinlang. There are tea sheds along the road from Lujindian, Xianzheng, Xiaofanggang to Liulin. There are more tea sheds from the west of Liulin to Dongying, one every three or two miles, distributed on both sides of the road.

The nature of the regional guild hall is obvious. Generally, a village or several adjacent village groups are called a tea shed, and the village where the founder lives, or a main village is the name of the tea shed. For example, the Lingnan tea shed and Zhangtun tea shed in Ren County are named after the traffic line. The main tea sheds, such as those along Jize, Quzhou and Pingxiang, are Pingxiang tea sheds. Such tea sheds only receive pilgrims from within their respective areas and do not accept pilgrims from outside their respective areas. These tea sheds are generally built with donations from pilgrims. It is the public property of a village or even several villages, and has the nature of a guild hall.

According to the investigation, the tea shed is combined with a residential house. Pilgrims from a certain area invest in purchasing cooking utensils, reed mats, etc. and place them in a farmer's home until the temple fair. At this time, they would serve tea, receive people, and offer sacrifices to the gods. This farmer would free up all the spare rooms, help boil water for cooking, and invite the gods to hang up the statues. They were like people in the tea shed. The tea shed was integrated with the residence. The history is unknown, but whose house the tea shed was. They are all fixed and passed down from generation to generation. For example, the tea sheds in Pingxiang, Jize, and Quzhou counties are in Hou Huisheng's family. Before his death a few years ago, Hou's father told his son: The tea sheds in the three counties have been in our family for many generations, and they have been passed down from one generation to the next. This generation should do the same thing. Buying land, building a house and building a tea shed are also common in the Queshan Temple Fair. Most of these were pilgrims from Guangzong, Pingxiang, Renxian, Julu, Quzhou, Jize, Yongnian, and Guangping counties in the southeast of Xingtai who raised funds to purchase land. Led by a large investor, they purchased land in Shentou Village and surrounding villages. . Others buy land locally and rent it to local farmers, and the rent is used for tea shed expenses. Others buy wasteland on hillside and use the income from tree planting to support tea shed expenses.

Donate money to build a temple, use the temple as a tea shed, and integrate the temple and shed into one. This form is rare but large in scale. The Sigu Tower in the east of Shentou Village was funded and built by several villages in Zhangtun and Lingnan Yiyi in Ren County. It has a north tower, an east tower and a south tower. It is dedicated to the aunt (whose deity cannot be found). It buys 10 acres of land in the southeast hillock of the village. Every year There are only four cooks in the temple fair. Pilgrims bring their own grains and rice, and voluntarily donate oil money. They wear a red line on their chests as identification marks. During the main meeting in March, they go to Pengfen Village from the 23rd of the second lunar month to the beginning of March. All the arrangements are completed before the first day of the new year. The activities for worshiping God are completed on the first day of the new year. The accounts are closed on the second day of the second year. About 3,000 people come to the shed every year.

The tea shed has its own simple, easy, practical and efficient rules for internal management. There are roughly the following: the main room is dedicated to the gods and statues, and no one is allowed to occupy it; there is no distinction between rich and poor in the shed, everyone is equal; arrive at the shed on time, worship the gods seriously, live separately for men and women, and prevent fire and theft. Generally, there is one person in charge of the shed. (Supreme leader), one person each for the accounting room and the treasury. Pilgrims are arranged according to the region and village, and have fixed dates for going to the temple and arriving at the shed. They bring their own food and rice, usually one liter per person per day, and rice and noodles are fine. Gas money ( Incense money) voluntary donation of any amount. After the meeting, the accounts were carefully settled, and excess food and incense money were given to the family as compensation. Large-scale tea sheds are also divided into several small sheds according to living areas, with shed heads set up to assist the shed owner in managing sacrificial activities and daily affairs.

The Divine Head Carrying Box

At the Queshan Temple Fair on the first day of the third lunar month every year, many local art groups take the initiative to perform at the temple fair to show their respect for the gods. This is the Queshan Temple Fair One of the important contents of divine activities. Among the many rural arts performances, the pole box performance in Houhe Village is quite unique. After the author visited the elders in the village many times, the following is described based on the memories of the elders.

The so-called box lifting is a performance in which four people use two wooden poles to lift a box. The box is three feet three inches long, two feet one inch wide, and two feet three inches high. It is painted on four sides, with four panels on each side. Eight immortals are painted on the top eight panels; bamboo, chrysanthemum, lotus and orchid are painted on four panels on each end. And pomegranate, guava, tangerine, bergamot. Sewing needles are strung into strings and hung three times around with colorful silk threads, making them sparkle. There is a pillar at each corner of the box, and red silk is hung on the pillar. The entire box is packed in a bright and eye-catching way, and the box is wrapped with yellow silk incense, red dates, peanuts, grains, wheat, beans and other grains, in order to worship the gods and pray for a good harvest and peace all year round.

During the Gang Box performance, two long willow poles and the box are tied tightly with colorful ropes, and are lifted up by four sturdy men, who beat the gongs and drums on their feet and walk along the street with two wooden poles. Vibrating up and down, colorful silks fluttering, silver needles flashing and clanging, the simple yet relaxed and bold movements are also very attractive.

Lifting a box is a square art, and walking along a long street is a four-person march with the beat of gongs and drums. However, every time you go to a spacious place, you have to move around, such as walking forward and backward, arranging flowers crosswise, and squatting forward and backward. Just wait for a few simple actions. When you go to the mountain gate in front of the Queshan Temple Group, there is a mountain gate jumping performance. The program is simple, but the lifter must be very strong. Amidst the sound of gongs and drums, stand at the corner of the mountain gate. When a chant is heard from the southwest to the northeast, the four people jump forward in unison, which is called Jumping on the bar, this jumping jump is more than ten feet away, and then running southeast and northwest, completing four jumps amidst people's cheers, you must be sweating profusely.

After passing the mountain gate, Gangxi went to perform in front of Grandma Hall. Legend has it that Grandma Queshan was Hou Tuyuanjun and was in charge of the land. All things grow on the soil, so farmers naturally respect them greatly in order to have abundant harvests and have more than enough every year. Later, he performed in front of the temple of King Shenying and prayed to the divine doctor Bian Que for his blessings to cure diseases and avoid disasters. There are small squares in front of these two temples to facilitate performances. The performance ends here. The boxes are carried back to the village and kept by a special person, called Xiaotou, who will also be responsible for binding, hanging and packing the boxes in the coming year.

Shentou Huihui

According to information provided by Wang Yinhai: Huihui is a folk song and dance spread in the shallow mountainous area in the west of Neiqiu County. It is said that in the middle of the Qing Dynasty, a southerner who made banquets lived in Zhanggongta Village, Queshan. In order to repay the kindness of the people of Zhanggongta Village, I taught the folk art of "Hui Hui" to the villagers in my spare time.

Huihui has a history of nearly 300 years and has been passed down for many generations, forming its own unique folk art style. Every New Year and festival, there is a big celebration in the village, and this program is used to express the celebration. There are singing and dancing, which is very lively. It is often held in the streets and lanes of the village, and there are also performances in the village.

The most solemn event is the temple fair on the first day of March in Shentou Village.

The Shentou Temple Fair is a temple fair to commemorate Bian Que, the ancestor of Chinese medicine. According to old people, the temple fair is so big that people from three counties, nine prefectures and thirteen provinces gather here. Wells with large crowds have been drained, and families in Shentou Village have been drained. Every family digs a well. There is a saying that "if the rooster crows three times and the temple door is not opened, someone will be squeezed to death." This temple fair is the time when villagers in this area perform performances to the temple fair. Every village needs to present plays and performances to the temple fair to express the villagers' worship and belief in the miracle doctor, and to carry out sacrifices and prayers. It also hopes for a good harvest, good health for people and animals, and for The gods return their wishes. "Hui Hui" has become a special program performed by Zhanggongta Village to the Shentou Temple Fair. This is what the locals call "each village offers its own stuff."

In normal times, due to local droughts nine times in ten years and poor water conservancy conditions, the folk dance art of "Hui Hui" has become a representative performance for praying for rain and worshiping gods.

"Hui Hui" is a folk folk art, and its content is mainly about the love between men and women and the life of ordinary people. The main tunes include "Jingtai Hui", "Zhang Qingxiu rushes for the exam", etc. Its performance form is square art, walking through streets and alleys. The performance team consists of 40 actors. Among them, there are 2 people playing money drums, 2 people playing money poles, 2 people playing bamboo sticks, 8 people playing shofar, 12 people playing bamboo boards, 2 people playing Huadan, 2 people playing umbrellas, 2 people playing silver gongs, Lao Chou 1 person, 1 Choudan person, 1 person playing the hairpin, 1 person playing the cymbal, 1 person playing the drum, 1 person playing the second hairpin, 1 person playing the big gong, and 1 person playing the small gong. The main actions during the performance:

All the actors, led by the money drummer, performed the "Twelve Corners", "Gourd String Man", "Double Ring", "Octagonal Glazed Well", " Patterns such as "a bar through the heart". After the walk, a single ring was formed, followed by a pas de deux of two female actors, and then a playful dance of two cashiers and two female actors. Finally, there is the pas de deux between Lao Chou and Chou Dan. The whole dance is lyrical, sonorous, funny and humorous, with typical characteristics of Neiqiu Qianshan District. After the dance, the old ugly man ordered the opera in Taichung and recited a rhyme: "I went to the North Slope when I had nothing to do. I met a rabbit digging out its nest. I asked you what the rabbit was doing. Let's drink wine at the landlord's door." Then the old ugly man ordered it. That play and the actors involved in that play will then perform in it.

When singing, each program has its own movements and content, with different footwork, movements, appearances, and props, and has distinctive personality characteristics and strong emotional color.

For example, the pas de deux of two Hua Dan and the playful dance of two cashiers and two Hua Dan.

Huadan’s appearance: dressed as a female actor, holding a fan in hand. The action is to hold a colorful fan, press the palm with the right hand, step forward with the left hand, face each other in a symmetrical position, and appear on stage. Then the upper body leans to the left, walking clockwise in a flowing round step, suddenly turns 180 degrees, steps to the left and half squats, suddenly stands up, leans the upper body to the right, walks in a round step, and walks counterclockwise. Then two men dressed as money pole dancers were added, wearing mandarin jackets, long robes and bright hats. So two men and women were divided into two single rings; the women circled the men, walking as fast as the wind. The two male actors danced with the pole with their left hands, and struck the copper coins on the pole with their left hands, moving back and forth with steady cross steps. The rhythm of the dance is distinct, fast and slow, lively and flexible.

Another example is the pas de deux between Lao Chou and Chou Dan. In Hui Hui's appearance, Chou Dan was called "Ugly Wife", and she painted a big gourd like a child and held it in her arms as a prop. The costume is as follows: a cow horn is made into a quilt and worn on the head, a big scorpion is painted on one side of the face, a pair of red pointed peppers are hung on the ears, and large flower embroidered shoes are put on on the feet. Lao Chou, known as the "Ugly Old Man" in Hui Hui, wears a robe and holds a stick. The two people's pas de deux is: they swing their arms back and forth, walking in a steady and noisy goose step, sometimes meeting in the center of the stage and whispering, sometimes retreating, waving and shouting to each other, turning over and over, witty and funny.

Hui Hui is a regular folk art program at the Shen Tou Temple Fair and is deeply loved by the locals. Especially the free and easy money pole dance. The actors are dressed in martial arts costumes, performing light and graceful cross steps, and the bright rhythm of dancing on the pole with their left hand and hitting copper coins with their right hand. Sometimes forward, sometimes backward, sometimes lunging, holding the money pole in the left hand stretched forward and horizontally; coupled with the flowing dance steps of the two Huadans, sometimes turning forward in a semi-circle and shaking the fan, stepping and half squatting, sometimes shaking the fan in a full circle Stepping and half-squatting, and sometimes half-squatting with a fan in a circular motion; there are also comic performances by the ugly old man and the ugly wife, and the three groups of actors dance alternately, which is very popular.

Huihui singing and dancing are mainly based on percussion and have no accompaniment. The main traditional musical instruments and characteristics are:

Silver gong: also known as drill, is the leading musical instrument.

Qiangu: imitates the Liulang drum commonly used in folk art.

Money pole: 1 meter long pole with copper coins strung on it. It is usually used when singing, and the hands move the copper coins back and forth.

Jianban: A kind of simple board commonly used in folk art.

Bamboo board: a bamboo board commonly used in folk arts. About 6 inches long and 1.5 inches wide.

Sheep's horn: Hollow out the middle of the horn and remove the tip for playing. The way of blowing the horns is very unique: l:xxO:llxxx xxlxxOlxxlxxOll

The costumes and props of Huihui are also unique. The costumes are mostly based on costume dramas, and the umbrella in the props is the official umbrella in folk dance.

It is said that by the end of the 1980s, there were only four old artists in the village: Wang Chunbao, Wang Layue, Wang Huai and Cheng Wenxiang. Nowadays, these old artists have passed away one after another, and Huihui folk songs and dances have almost been lost.

As a folk folk art, Huihui has its own unique characteristics from appearance to costumes, props, percussion instruments, dance steps, performances, lyrics, etc., which is very valuable to explore.

Shentou Queshan represents "merit"

Liu Sanbing provided information and said: On the first day of the third month in the ancient calendar, at the foot of Queshan, there was a big temple fair with Shentou. Bianque Temple has become a paradise for pilgrims. They burned incense and bowed, prayed and worshiped, sang and danced, all reflected in one "gong". The so-called "gong" means that their sacrificial activities are all dedicated to accomplishing meritorious deeds for the gods. This word "gong" has become a special term among pilgrims. Pilgrims call the mobilization and arrangements of the leaders before the sacrificial act "De Gong". They also said that this was the holy dynasty (god) destroying the power. Ask them to do this or that. I also muttered:

The Holy Dynasty came to destroy the merits, and the heavenly soldiers and generals went out to fight. The blow was tight, the blow was blurry, and the little whip was so painful that it whined. The criminal law of the Holy Dynasty was merciless, and its destruction continued day and night. The burden is heavy, the wind is blowing at my feet, and a wave of smoke reaches the holy center (temple).

Explaining one's merits before God is called showing one's merits, which is also called explaining one's merits. Most pilgrims who go to the temple bring some tribute items and money to the gods. This requires reporting to God, allowing God to record your merits, and seeking God’s blessing. For example, a pilgrim in Ren County said in front of the Houtu Hall:

It means one merit after another, and each merit goes up. I am the county seat of Shunde Prefecture, in Laogenying, Jiuguozhai Street. There are gates on Cross Street, and the Li family of Wangmen is famous. Come help grandma with the project (donate). Bring ten yuan of silver (RMB); there are also grains and rice with bonuses (five-color paper) and gold foil ingots (burning items). Grandma Shengchao could see clearly, writing in gold pen, chanting in silver pen, and writing clearly in big and clear characters. The security guards at the top and peace at the bottom ensure that my whole family is in peace. The situation is peaceful and peaceful; the whole family is strong and healthy, and there are no disasters all year round. It is given openly and given secretly, and it is also useful to eat it.

After completing their performance, the pilgrims got up and dusted themselves, and then lined up and walked in circles for several times, which is called rounding exercise, also called rounding. During the practice of Perfection, they seemed to have settled a worry, feeling relieved and relaxed. Walk around for three to five times and recite Amilun Buddha (Buddha's words) a few times to get rid of the problem. After completing the work, don’t settle the matter, and then dance for God to entertain you. This activity is called running gong or walking gong. Running skills are usually performed in free combination, either in pairs or with multiple people. Most of them hold fan drums, beat the rhythm, and dance while singing. The dance movements are relatively simple, mostly cross steps and heel folding. The contents sung are nothing more than confessions, arguments, arguments, etc., and some also tell classic stories.

There is no time limit for the running exercise, and it is the most interesting and instinctive scene for pilgrims. When it gets intense, they jump and jump like crazy, completely entering a state of selflessness. When asked why they were like this, they said that it was caused by the Holy Spirit. Some pilgrims were so mad that they suddenly fell to the ground and fell unconscious. Such an event is called punishment. At this time, "Ming Gong Ming Yan" (pilgrim head) came forward to enlighten and comfort. This skill is called persuading power, also known as unlocking and unblocking the saint.

In addition, there are Xu Gong, Returning Gong, Kneeling Gong, etc. Xu Gong refers to the pilgrim's promise before God, also called making a wish; returning Gong refers to the return of pilgrims to God after their wishes are fulfilled, also called repaying vows; Kneeling Gong refers to kneeling in front of God for a long time, or holding a stick of incense in hand, waiting for the incense to be burned. It stops when it is finished to show devotion to God.

Shentou Queshan Sacrifice Temple

The sacrificial activities of Queshan Temple can be traced back to the Warring States Period according to the inscriptions, and have long historical roots. In the Xiande Year of the Later Zhou Dynasty (954-959), when Chen Sirang, the governor of the Anguo Army, rebuilt the Queshan Temple, the inscription on the inscription already had the title of "Wang". In the early years of Song Jiayou's reign (1056), Song Renzong fell ill and sent an envoy to the temple to seek medical treatment. After he recovered, Bian Que was given the title of "Shenying". Because Bian Que had been granted many titles by the court, the standard of attending the ancestral ceremony was relatively high.

The Records of the Reconstruction of Queshan Temple in the 23rd year of Chenghua's reign in the Ming Dynasty (1488) records: "So far in the spring month, there have been ritual ceremonies, and ladies from far and near hold incense coins and sacrifice wine, so that the sincere ones rush to be the first." In the fifty-eighth year of the reign of Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty (1720) (the inscription on the reconstruction of the temples behind Queshan Mountain), it is also recorded: "For more than 2,000 years, successive dynasties have commended and granted tribute to the king...". Those who offered sacrifices and worshiped Bian Que ranged from the imperial court to the common people. Shi Yanshi, the magistrate of Qiu County in the Qing Dynasty, once wrote a poem to describe the grand occasion of worshiping Bian Que at the temple fair: I have long heard about the water in the pond, and now I am paying homage to the God of Magpie King. The Thousand-Year-Old Temple in Qianjue is where people from nine counties are imprisoned. It is a truly customary place, and the situation is worthy of the zodiac. There are grand gatherings every year, so why not listen to our people?

In addition to the Taifu mentioned in the inscription, there were ministers who held ceremonies to offer sacrifices to the temple. The imperial court also sent officials to the Queshan Temple to offer sacrifices. In the first year of the Zhongtong reign of the Yuan Dynasty (1260), Xuan sent the imperial physician to advise Li Guojian to pay tribute to the Five Sacred Mountains in accordance with the emperor's imperial edict. In the third year of the reign of Emperor Zhongtong of the Yuan Dynasty (1262), Zidong Chun, a Yishi from Huangquemen, came to pay homage to Donghaiyuan Shengguangdewang Temple in accordance with the emperor's imperial edict. In the seventeenth year of the Yuan Dynasty (1281), King Yongning and the concubines of the eighth group sent eunuchs to send incense to the temple of King Ying, the God of Queshan Mountain, to offer thanks. In the twenty-third year of Yuan Dynasty (1287), the crown prince... offered sacrifices to... the shrine of King Queshan Shenying.

In the past dynasties, prefectures and counties have offered sacrifices according to customized specifications.

During the temple fairs, while worshiping and offering sacrifices to Bian Que, some rich religious ceremonies are often held. Among them are sacrificial ceremonies held for the birthdays of gods, fasting festivals held for officials and civilian believers to pray for peace, good weather or blessings and disasters, and folk activities such as burning incense and worshiping gods.

Those who burn incense and offer incense generally include scattered pilgrims and pilgrims organized by a certain society or incense association. It is relatively simple for scattered pilgrims to offer incense. There is no need to hold a ceremony. They just kneel down, burn incense, make offerings, and give alms as they please to show their piety. Organized pilgrims first burn incense, kneel to worship the gods, and then recite the incense head. The rhymes they recite are generally simple and popular, with the nature of folk literature and myths and legends. Some of the incense recitations are led by the incense head, and the pilgrims sing in unison. After the recitation, offerings and "incense money" are given, and finally cultural and entertainment activities are held in front of the temple, which are called "accompanying the work", and the ceremony ends. Folk pilgrims have various purposes for offering sacrifices. They generally focus on the gods they burn incense to worship based on what they want to pray for. Some people burn incense to cure diseases and eliminate disasters, some pray for children, some pray for blessings and wealth, some seek fame, and there are also some who fulfill their vows after all.

Shentou Queshan Zhaijiao

Zhaijiao, commonly known as Taoist temple and Jiaojiao, is a Taoist religious ceremony for worshiping gods. The number of days of fasting and the number of masters depends on the size of the dojo. The duration is usually three days, and there are usually three or five masters, four or six Taoists, and several musical accompanists. The mage who presides over the ceremony is a virtuous elder, who is called "Gao Gong" and is located in the center. The master at the top is called "Dushuo" and presides over the scriptures in the altar; the master at the bottom is called "Jianzhai" and presides over all the rituals in the altar; the Taoists are called "confession"; the band is on the left and right. From setting up the altar, setting up the drums, opening the altar, welcoming the gods, cleaning the altar, reciting mantras and rituals, to setting up the altar, transferring the offerings, burning the altar, chanting sutras, sitting down, sending the saints off, and collecting the altar, strict and complicated procedures are followed. conduct. The "water, fruits, incense, flowers, lamps, tea, food, treasures, talismans, and clothes" provided are called "ten offerings" and also have profound Taoist meanings.
