The elderly plan "Kowloon water" says that Ji'nan has been splashing water since ancient times.
"the sample of the spring water festival in old Ji'nan", many readers have actively responded to this "Spring Festival sample". This year, 78 years old Mao Wei is an old Ji'nan, "in fact, Ji'nan also has a water splashing custom, I remember when I was small, many people through water splashing, pray for heaven grant rain, pray for wind and rain!" Although this custom has disappeared, why not combine this custom with water sprinkling Festival? On the one hand, it can be a national carnival. On the other hand, it can also let people thank God for giving us such a good spring! "
"old Ji'nan" restore the rain scene
in Mao Wei's memory, the rain itself is also the most willing to participate in the children, "I remember when young, Ji'nan appeared in the drought years, some people will spontaneously organize - rain. At that time, many children were willing to follow the crowd in the rain, because the drums and drums were very lively.
30s and 40s twentieth Century, what was the old Ji'nan rain scene like? The old man Mao Wei gave us a reduction. "North people are very heavy on the calendar, and the Yellow calendar will mark this year is a few dragon water treatment, and so on, if the drought in the season, the people will spontaneously organize to rain. When I was a child, I lived in the area of the Grand View Garden. It is known that willow is a city tree in Ji'nan. When it comes to rain, people wear willow wickers on their heads; men will be naked in their heads, wear shorts or pull up their legs; the people in front are beating drums and drums in the middle, and in the middle they carry 'caps'. The "round chair" was a chair formerly used by the Jinan people. The chairs were wrapped around willow and placed on the throne of the Dragon King. When it comes to rain, dozens of people walk around the gongs and drums. Wherever they go, the people will splash the water from their homes to the chairs and pour it into the rain - seeking team. In order to pray for rain. " Mao Wei, the old man, said.
"this shows the custom of" splashing water "in Ji'nan since ancient times. We can completely combine our spring water splashing festival with this old custom, so that the Ji'nan water splashing festival will also have more folklore connotation. Mao Wei thinks, "where is the spring of Ji'nan coming from? Of course, it is the water of the spring city. Before we pray for rain, we pray for the rain. Now we are splashing water festival. We also want to thank God for giving us such a good spring.
recommended splash water Festival "Kowloon" water
Mao Wei old man also suggested that Ji'nan do water splashing Festival, can make nine dragons, on the one hand, "dragon" is water treatment, determines the wind and rain; on the other hand, "Nine" is the largest number in China, the nine dragon implies that people pray for the wind. Adjust the rain. The nine dragons can be divided into energy and energy. When they are divided, the water splashing Festival can be carried out separately in five Longtan, Daming Lake, Baotu Spring, Qianfo Hill and other places, and nine dragons can be combined together to concentrate on the water splashing Festival. In this way, with the dragon as the medium and Thanksgiving as the theme, we can give the new meaning of today's water splashing Festival.
in addition, the old man also suggested that in the Spring Festival, the old Ji'nan already lost "play four crab" and "water" related old games to be re picked up, so that the Spring Festival not only have content, but also the connotation of Ji'nan. Reporter Zhu Cailing Chen Haidong
